Aspen and Emmett’s emotional and heartfelt story had me falling in love alongside them in Ruin Me! This book was full of heart and so many feelings as well as incredible chemistry between Aspen and Emmett. There wasn’t a moment where their connection was anything besides beautiful and deep, even when they weren’t necessarily aware of it!
It was a joy to return to Timberline Peak and to reconnect with the small town & wonderful characters I was introduced to in Fool Me! Aspen and Emmett have such a unique and powerful journey on their path to find love. The love & patience between them was so admirable and something we all can aspire to reach.
Emmett’s mental health plays a big role in his own journey in Ruin Me, and I would be remiss to not mention it. It was so powerful to watch him learn that he does deserve to be happy and to heal from his past. His struggles were real and valid and I loved how Aspen never loved him any less when he was struggling.
I voluntarily reviewed a free advance copy of this book provided by the author. The opinions expressed are my own.
