About this listen

Warning: This audiobook contains romance (and sex) between one woman and six men, and she doesn't have to choose just one. Also contains: raunchy humor, too many puns, group sex, a bit of M/M, and plenty of action, violence, and intrigue.

Six hunky, supernatural tradesmen. One sarcastic, caffeine-addicted bride. A match made by fate...or karma?

My name is Arizona Smoke, and I have six husbands. Yup. Count 'em - six. Four sexy plumbers, one electric electrician...and my last husband? Total prick. Our unconventional marriage is almost complete. All I need to do is reconcile with my first love and rescue a man I’ve never met. Easy, right?

As if marrying a bunch of supernatural plumbers isn't hard enough, I also have to deal with the fact my biological father and his six wives (yeah, I have six moms, too) are still hunting us, stalking us through sex parties hosted by demons and setting traps for us in the middle of underground, supernatural raves. And you thought your family was dysfunctional!

All I wanted was a moment to breathe, a chance to get to know my new husbands in a way that was more than sexual - although I'm not exactly complaining about our time in the bedroom. But between my maniacal mother-in-law, some kidnapped lady-elementals, and the rich asshole I'm supposed to welcome into my new harem...when's a girl got time for dates? Let alone planning a seven-way...wedding that is.

I'm Ari Smoke, spirit elemental, supernatural badass, and hot-as-f--k dragon chick. Having six hot husbands is nice...but being hunted by evil sex demons, not so much.

Elements of Ruin is a full-length comedic, paranormal reverse-harem romance. This means our leading lady has six male love interests and doesn't have to choose between them. This audiobook is full of steamy sex, ridiculous plumbing puns, and heaps of action, intrigue, and...well, more puns. This is audiobook two of three.

Brilliant! Unique!

A mystery, drama, and comedy all rolled into one. A great cast of complex characters in a world full of shifters. Highly enjoyable.

I strongly recommend this book for any reader who enjoys a book that doesn't follow the standard romance template.

Kudos to the author for writing a brilliant, unique book that happens to have erotica, instead of the typical romance novel that's erotica with little or no plot outside the sex scenes.

I don't really like all the times the author breaks the third wall and mentions writers, fantasy novels, etc.

The narration is excellent.

The puns are OTT

Don’t get my wrong, I love dirty jokes... and punny jokes... but I’m torn between the serious plot line and the “did you get it the first time? If not, here’s the 50th time of the same 14-year-old-boy joke!” During a seemingly serious plot turn of the book.

Sorry to say that the “I’m not an [fill in the blank], I’m just a barista.” comment (which wasn’t funny the first or 50th time), has worn thin.

The plot itself is what is having me round up my review.

On par with the first book

This book keeps with the theme of light and funny. Although humorous at times I still felt it was a little over the top.

Love all the puns

This is a hilarious book. lots of corny ouns and foul language. a FMC who is foul mouth half drunk all the time and puns for days. sign me up. i couldn't stop laughing. if you are looking for something series with amazing writing this is not it. this is one hell of a good time.

Arizona just fought her bio parents on her front yard saves her ex only for him to run off again and learned she has a 6th hubby out there. (BTW that's lot of peen) and one of her best friends were just attacked and seems to know her 6th hubby. this book starts off with a bang ;) cant get enough off all the puns and hilarious acronyms that just make taking about something series seem not so series. Dustin has been taken captive and Ari and her men have to save him.

i really likes the book it was funny fast paces and the world that the story takes place in is interesting. we learn more about whats going on and meet new people that push the plot forward,

Smut

lot of sex scenes. I know some people like that but I like a plot and character development. these characters just have sex all of the time and that's about all there is to it.

Weak Story

Hard to follow with all the self talk and crazy puns. So not for me.

Disappointing

I read the first book and really enjoyed it, but this one just fell flat, I enjoyed the crazy amount of puns in the first one but this one took it to an extreme that was more annoying than anything else. The constant inner feminist monologue while the main character is slut shaming her friend was infuriating. I’ve enjoyed other books by these authors but this just wasn’t my cup of tea.
