Review

Oh my gosh. So good, but also so stressful!! I kept wanting to skip ahead because I needed to know how the external story was going to play out! Like, gah, it better all work out. LOL

Penn and Gideon are a great couple, and i especially love the family they and the others have become. Which is partly why some of the drama that sounds them stresses me out - I don’t want them to experience pain and loss.

*Heather reminds herself that they are fictional characters*

Penn’s condition of not being able to feel pain…I just can’t imagine. I mean it’s fun that he can annoy the bad guys so much, but also so concerning.

I definitely need more of them!

Synopsis

Gideon has had complete control of the town and state he lives in for two years, and powerful people answer to him. His twins are thriving, his love for Penn is unshakable, and life is good…until the glass shatters and it all comes crashing down. He’s forced to fight back, which risks not only his empire but the lives of those he loves.

Penn’s life is nothing like he imagined it would be. He has the love of a gorgeous man, the adoration of his twins, and a family who, though meddling at times, would jump in front of a bullet for him. It doesn’t matter that Penn feels no pain or fear; they treat him like he’s fragile, and sometimes he’s okay with that. But when danger rolls into town, threatening those he loves and the life he’s built, he wonders if this feeling that’s leaving him so cold could be fear.

Gideon and Penn’s happily ever after is tested as everything around them crumbles, lives are destroyed, and empires fall. No strangers to fighting for what’s theirs, they find themselves facing an enemy like no other before. Their love has burned so bright, but when the last shot has been fired, it could mean their end.

Be My Ruin is book 2 in my Be Mine Series. It’s recommended you read book 1, Be My Monster first.
