Publisher's summary

I was a good girl once, but now I’ve got bloody hands and a broken heart.

When Julian Maduro and his wretched sister breathed their last, I thought that would be the end of it. But I should’ve remembered the brutal truth that’s been beaten into me over and over again…people like me don’t get happily ever afters.

Alec Beckham forced me to do the unthinkable, shredding my heart with the squeeze of a trigger. And he’s not done with me yet. The man who was responsible for the worst torment of my life has decided he wants me as a member of his secret society, a permanent player in his game of manipulation and power. Fine, you sadistic f--k. You want me to play? I’ll play. But I won’t do it by your rules, and I’ll do whatever it takes to win. Because people like me don’t fall in love either. They don’t find their soul mates.

But I did. I fell for the kings of chaos, and now, I have something to fight for besides just vengeance. I’m fighting for them. For us.

Empire of Ruin is a full-length mafia/gang new adult romance featuring a slightly psycho heroine and four even more psychotic men. This audiobook contains dark themes and possible triggers, so please listen to it at your own discretion. It is book four in Dirty Broken Savages series.

Excellent!

I am very happy with this series and can’t wait for more. And do hope there’s more to this story. I’m very interested in erotic series and some of the story lines are repetitive, which can make them start to get boring and predictable. Not with this series. I was always left in suspense. Especially (spoiler alert) River’s sexual encounters with Ash in the beginning. I was on the edge of my seat asking, “Is this it?! Is it finally going to happen?!” I highly recommend this series to anyone and everyone who has a taste for erotica. Two thumbs up!

Recommend the series

This series is true to the description in title details… really hot🔥 sexy and steamy polyamory scenes. If you like dark, mafia, enemies to lovers, high steam, reverse harem- this is a great series and author to follow.

Empire of Ruin

Empire of Ruin and the bonus scene are both absolutely amazing! I loved this book and series so much, and I could not wait to reread it when the audiobook was available. There were so many ups and downs in Ruin, as well as all the huge challenges to fight through. I could not put this book down to do anything!! You will absolutely love this book. I can not wait for everyone to get to read it so we can all chat soon!

Damn!

This series was sexy as hell. Storyline was good, female performer was great, male performer okay, but needs more practice. Nice to have an adult story without the usual weak, stupid stereotype FMC. Sure, River had her weaknesses and at times dramatic inner monologues, but she was a Queen with grace and plunder. Loved all the Kings. What a nice fantasy.
