From the national bestselling author of Busted and Razed comes an unforgettable story of a love that transcends tragedy...
As one of the Barnes brothers, Sebastien has always felt blessed. Not only does he have an amazing family, but he’s become a Hollywood golden boy who has everything he’s ever wanted—with one exception. He’s had a thing for Marin since he was a kid, but when he finally summons the courage to ask her out, she turns him down. Marin is ready to settle down, she wants commitment and stability, and Sebastien is still too much of a playboy, caught up in the wild life of the spotlight.
Still reeling from the rejection, Sebastien’s luck runs out later that night when he saves a girl from an assault. The shining knight role fits him just fine, but his armor—and his perfect life—become tarnished when the near-deadly attack lands him in the hospital. Physically scarred, he gives up acting and retreats from everybody.
If anyone can pull Sebastien back from the abyss, it’s Marin. But first she has to convince him that beauty is not only skin deep...
Kassiah: Hollywood playboy Sebastien has always had a thing for Marin, but she rejects him when he finally makes a move. He lands himself in critical condition in the hospital after saving a woman who’s being brutally attacked. Without his looks and charmed movie star life, he retreats. Marin isn’t willing to let her friend go down without a fight, and along the way the two of them realize they both wanted the same thing all along–each other.
Ah, Shiloh Walker. I snap up every book of hers that comes my way, and I’m so glad I grabbed Ruined. She never fails to deliver steamy hot characters with crazy chemistry, and this book is no different for sure. I loved pretty much every thing about this book–the banter, the sex, the development of both of the characters. I don’t know why I haven’t read the other books in this series yet, but I will definitely be going back and checking them out.
If you love steamy stories with heroines who aren’t doormats and strong heroes who sometimes need help finding their way, then you have to read Ruined by Shiloh Walker. It’s amazing.
