Discover the serial killer romance series everyone is talking about!

'Hilarious, heart-warming, sexy . . . and gory. The perfect cocktail that will have you swooning and laughing. The funnest read of the year!' H. D. Carlton, international and USA Today bestselling author of Haunting Adeline

'So fresh and different. It's like a funny, irreverent version of Dexter - only there's two of them and sexual tension' Abby Jimenez, New York Times bestselling author of Yours Truly

----

From the no.1 New York Times bestselling author of the genre-breaking international TikTok sensation Butcher & Blackbird and Leather & Lark comes the final book in the Ruinous Love Trilogy - a friends-with-benefits dark romantic comedy.

Murder.

Mayhem.

And spice.

Doctor Fionn Kane is running from a broken heart, one he hopes to mend in small-town Nebraska, far away from his almost-fiance and his derailed surgical career. It's a simpler life: head down, hard work, and absolutely no romantic relationships. He wants none of the circus he left behind in Boston.

But then the real circus finds him.

Motorcycle performer Rose Evans has spent a decade on the road with the Silveria Circus, and it suits her just fine, especially when she has the urge to indulge in a little murder when she's not in the spotlight. But when a kill goes awry and she ends up with an injured leg, Rose finds herself stuck in Nebraska, at the home of the adorably nerdy town doctor.

The problem is, not every broken heart can be sewn back together.

. . . And the longer you stay in one place, the more likely your ghosts are to catch up.

Pure perfection! This is the most original, laugh out loud, spicy and romantic book and series! Will always recommend this

Brilliant!

This is a good read, though the plot, format, and characters are pretty repetitive of the first two books. I enjoy the female lead having some autonomy and the story fits well with the rest of the series. For a serial killer series, it’s all pretty schmaltzy and Disney-esk but still a fun read. Narrators are good.

Fun read even if it was a bit repetitive

Absolutely stunning book and Audiobook. The narrators were perfect. Loved every minute of it and laughed even more.

Brilliant

This trilogy is unlike anything else. Thanks to the first book, I started listening to audiobooks. I love the humor, the dialogues, and the openness and trust between the characters. The third book, in my opinion, is just a tiny bit weaker than the first two, but still really good.

And a special shoutout to the narrators—they're the best!

The best trilogy

This was a wonderful end to an excellent story. I'm feeling the void of these characters now that I've finished. It was exciting, funny, heart wrenching, romantic and erotic. Absolutely wonderful read!

Exellent story and narration!

More of a 4.5 ⭐️

This third book of the Ruinous Trilogy explores the intense, magnetic connection between Fionn, the broody doctor who crochets to stay sane & Rose the wild, sharp-tongued circus nomad who tells fortunes…and maybe disposes of abusers on the side.
The duet narration by Eric Nolan and Samantha Brentmoore made their journey feel incredibly real.

Fionn and Rose’s story is a journey of love, self-discovery, healing and overcoming immense challenges.
And maybe some chaos, mayhem and murders.
It makes to me, a truly satisfying conclusion to the trilogy.
I may or may not have sobbed like a little b*tch with the letters & the Gran’s tarot cards. Because I am emotional like that.

And also, can we talk about the epilogue?

(i don’t know if it was an audible’s issue, but I experienced some glitches and sound jump cuts in some parts of the second half of the book. It was disturbing)

If you like your romance with blood, banter, and a broken man trying to be whole—this is it.
