Ruining Her by Kylie Kent
4.0
Cliffhangers, trigger warnings, oh my!
This is my first Kylie Kent book and the first book in the McKinley Ranch Duet and I am bummed that I don't have the next book in my hand already!!
Kent's prose and storytelling are excellent - easy to read but also kept you hooked. I was immediately enthralled with Josh, our dark, tragic hero. I was also in love with Emily, our heroine. We meet them young, in high school, and we see the connection but Josh feels he has to stay away to protect her and yet he protects her from others, from afar, as well. Until they both finally give in and have that one night. Unfortunately, it was just the one night. Josh leaves her, thinking it's in her best interest. But as we fast forward a few years, we find that Emily was caught in the violent, hateful, evil arms of a true terror.
When Josh and Emily find each other again, we can see that their connection is still vibrant and strong though Emily is skittish, hesitant and scared. We follow their steamy story as their love allows Emily to re-find herself, her strength and their darkly, twisted love and lust.
I really did enjoy this quick read and am ready for book two!!
