RUIN - Part Three (The RUIN Series, Book 3) Kindle Edition

by Deborah Bladon (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 2,909 ratings
The final part of RUIN, a three-part series from New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Deborah Bladon.

Kayla Monroe felt safe in the arms of Dr. Ben Foster. He was helping her move past a broken heart and she was guiding him towards a reclaimed relationship with the brother he'd lost years ago. Their bond was unique, strong and bordering on a love that would change them both forever. Then Kayla found herself thrust into the middle of a triangle she wanted no part of. She heard things that altered her reality completely. There's no one for her to rely on but herself and she has to decide whether a familiar voice from the past holds more weight than the promise of a future she can't quite grasp yet. Trusting her heart has never been easy for Kayla. Trusting others has never been easy for Ben. Together they have to determine whether the sins of the past are too much to bear or whether a connection that is undeniable is worth the risk.

About the Author

New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Deborah Bladon, has never read a romance hero she didn't like. Her love for romance novels began when she was old enough to board the bus, library card in hand to check out the newest Harlequin paperbacks. She's a Canadian by heart, and by passport, but you can often spot her in New York City sipping a latte and looking for inspiration for her next story. Manhattan is definitely her second home.

She cherishes her family and believes that each day is a gift for writing, for reading, and for loving.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Get these three books only if you love amazing writing with a fabulous story line!
    Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2014

    I loved the whole Ruin series. The Ruin series plot line drew me in pretty much immediately (as do all of Deborah's books) the jubilation, the utter joy, the disappointment and the overwhelming sadness was not only intense but I felt it as though it were happening to me. By book two, I knew by the end of it there was no way for any of the three characters to come back from what had just happened. I mean we're talking driving in a ten foot pool realizing after it was too late you were going down and it was over, you were toast. By book three Deborah not only brought them back from a beyond hopeless situation but laid everything that had happened make total sense. Not one shred of doubt remained and of course the right people came out better and much stronger than before. Her brain is astounding, and perplexing. Our GPS may not work as well as hers but in the end, through all those detours, twists and exciting turns, we always end up exactly where she wanted us to end up in the first place. If you don't read these three amazing books, which btw, are so affordable, than you're missing out on something very special :--)) Ten thumbs up as

    4.0 out of 5 stars Ben, Parker & Kayla
    Reviewed in the United States on November 4, 2014
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    The angst & the cliffhanger ending of book #2 were crazy good! I have to admit the resolution to the Parker/Ben/Kayla love triangle was a bit of a let down just because the truth was pretty cut & dried. Having said that I don't really like a lot of angst so I still consider this an amazing series. Kayla clearly heard Ben talking about paying Parker to break up with her, waiting until Kayla can talk Noah back into Ben's good graces. How in the world is Ben going to get out of this one?? Well, Parker's true colors come shining through & on the opposite end of the spectrum so do Ben's. Kayla stays strong, forces Parker to tell her the truth almost as if she'll stay with him once she hears him out. Kayla should have trusted her instincts, knowing that Parker was always looking over her shoulder for the next best thing. Ben explains that he was in first class when Kayla walked on the plane that fateful day they met, & that she had the most beautiful face he's ever seen & he had to get to know her. Ben is the best dirty talker! He uses the "c" word & he even makes that word sound hot! Kayla knows Ben wouldn't purposely hurt her, and yet it is hard to get over Ben's saying Parker could have Kayla back once he was done with her. And it is still in the back of her mind that once Noah & Ben have a solid relationship Ben won't need her! It was the hardest thing Ben has ever done, leaving Kayla with Parker so she could figure her way out of the situation, to make her own choice. Dr. Ben Foster becomes Saint Ben all of a sudden as Kayla learns more about the charitable physician work he does & about his generosity. Kayla's whole world changes when she weaves through all of the stories & the half-truths & the lies & finds out where her heart really belongs. Kayla even gets a new career thanks to Ben! Everything was resolved a little too pat & perfect but still a great series!

    5.0 out of 5 stars What a Great HEA
    Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2014

    OMG! If you loved Pulse, or Obsessed, or Exposed, or Vain then it's a crazy thought that you won't love this book! I'm in love with each and every book boyfriend from this list and I hazard to say I wouldn't be able to choose one over the other. There are secrets from the past and at times situations in the present that keep our heroine and hero apart through the story and the secrets are usually REALLY freakin complicated but the story is so good, and the cliffhangers that you have to endure through the installments are down right agonising at times but in the end they are so worth it. If you are new to this writer don't waste another minute of her awesome sexy stories she is a great writer and her stories will make you emotional (in good ways). And don't worry that you'll start talking out loud to yourself - it's the process. Buy it now and get hooked and don't worry - there's always another story because she loves her characters like we do! a gazillion stars and a gazillion hotness flames cause ... yeah.... it's that good!!! ❤️❤️❤️😊😊😊

    Reviewed in the United States on October 30, 2014

    I just finished Book 3. Because Amazon too so long to post the 3rd installment, I tried to go back and re-read the first two. BUT with the cliffhanger from Book 2 I found myself reading the previous books with the tainted lens of "what if this is all a lie?" and I had to stop. I'm not into spoilers especially since we had to wait and I'm one of the lucky ones that had the time to read it the hour it posted. However, I will say that anyone who has ever been betrayed or lied to - like myself - had their stomach drop through their feet at the end of Book 2. I definitely recommend this installment of the series to see how it all plays out. I am new to this author's work and I think I will be joining the camp of people waiting until the whole series is out before I start reading another of her works. My heart can't take it. Thank you Deborah for a thoroughly gripping read. You had my attention from page one.

    The anticipation for this 3rd instalment of Ruin was intense but so worth the wait.

    I'm glad Parker was kicked to the curb....it was beautiful and heart-warming to see the love between Ben and Kayla develop and i adored the happy ending.

    I'm looking forward to future novella about Ben and Kayla......this avid fan wants to see what happens next!

    Every time you think you know what's going on, there's another twist in the story.

    Up to the last pages you don't know whether to love Ben or hate him. If he's the good or the bad guy. With Parker (the ex) back in the picture you hope badly that Kayla kicks his ass.

    Really enjoyed this interesting, twisting and gripping read with some great and complex characters!

    That was a wild ride! I thought everyone's relationship was going to be "ruined"...from Kayla/Ben, Noah/Alexa, to Noah/Ben but in the end it all worked out and they all got their happily ever after. I loved this series because it was easy to read, it had a lot of suspense and it was fast paced and didn't drag on and on. ALSO...the sex scenes were super hot and I loved Ben's dirty mouth! I'm a fan of Deborah Bladon's and look forward to reading more of her work.
