Hmmm...Dr Ben-dreamy!
Loved the spark of interest into Ben and Kayla's relationship when I read Vain, which is Noah & Alexas story. Although we see that Ben relationship ended great with Noah, as with Kayla in the end of Vain, the reasons for the brothers troublesome & strained relationship were not told until now in Ruin.
And what a back story it is!!!!
Kayla and Ben meet on a return trio from Boston to NY, after Kayla's breakup with her boyfriend Parker. Heartbroken she has a one nite stand with Ben, which turn into more nites, not knowing of his connection with Noah. After Kayla has a minor accident, she realizes Ben is a successful doctor, and Noahs estranged twin. So by the end of book one we come to realize that Kayla and Ben really liked each other. Since she also has a strong friendship with Noah and,Alexa, she soon starts asking about what happened between them in hopes to reconnect the brothers before her best friends wedding. But we soon find out that the brothers definitely did not have your typical family squabble.... boy oh WOW!
What happened years earlier between Ben and Noah? What happened to the person Ben, Noah and their father Ron loved that caused such separation between them & Ben shunned from his only family? Ben wasn't guilty, but the pain and events of that dreadful day never left him and has hunted these two brothers far too long. How did their relationship mend?
By end of book two there was another shocker!!! WOW!
"I've been following her. She's getting through to my brother. As soon as he lets me back into his life you can have her"
"I know this looks bad, but everything I've done has been for you" ... Was Ben as calculating and manipulative as Noah thought his brother to be? What's Ben and Parker's connection? WHAT'S GOIN ON????
This book was full of deceit, anger, distrust, guilt, blame, resentment, accusations, mistakes, secrets, silence, agony, surprises, forgiveness...... & LOVE.
Anyone could have a moment of bad judgement. Everyone makes mistakes. Anyone can forgive and everyone deserves a second chance. Some make selfless sacrifices and in the end they find their happy ending.
A really good read indeed!!!!
In the end, Kayla's love for Ben and close friendship to Noah made her their connection to see the facts and have them finally reconnect and see all the details as they happened to Ben and Noah so many years prior and which mended a relationship between two brothers, their father Ron, Kayla and Alexa too.
Deborah Blandon stories are independent, but characters are entwined as friends, family, past relationships... making them all that much more enticing to read and a nice maze of characters.
