Ruin by Lila Rose
Series: Hawks MC: Next Generation #2
Genres: MC Romance, MM Romance

Joshua “Ruin” May has been a dick in the past. He’s trying to rectify one such dickish moment by helping out a friend, and he wants to make sure this time he doesn’t let her down. His journey leads him to Melbourne and a whole heap of unexpected trouble, namely an irritating crime boss.

Wolf.

A man who gets on his nerves and seems to revel in winding him up.

The good-looking douche sparks something unexpected in Ruin, leaving him confused.

With so much to lose and potentially everything to gain, Ruin has a choice to make. Will he figure himself out and make the ultimate decision that will change his future?

NOTE: This is the second book in the Hawks MC (next generation) series and it revolves around Ruin (Stoke's son) finding his love interest more than club life.

I received this book for free from in exchange for an honest review. This does not affect my opinion of the book or the content of my review.

I loved Ruin aka Josh since he was a teen. Now as an adult he is a ladies man and makes no apologies about it. I mean come on, he grew up with the Hawks as role models, how could he not have an arrogant sweetness that the ladies love?

However he suddenly finds that his famous nether regions only begin working when Wolf is around he is in a bit of a tail spin. He really grew in this book and I will say that this reminded me why I love not only the series but Lila Rose as an author. She writes the suddenly realizing your in love with someone who never dreamed of so well.

Wolf was an awesome character. as the head of his family he carries his authority like a cloak around him. He is very serious but there is a softer side that was very surprising. The journey he and Ruin take not only brings them closer but lets us understand them both better.

I can’t wait for the next book in this series and see where this amazing journey takes us. What I do know is that I will be there for the ride all the way.

Wolf looked to his watch. “I have to go.”
“Okay.” I nodded.
His gaze dipped down my body. “Are you sure you want me to go?”
My gut twisted. I looked down and saw I was half hard. “It’s called mornin’ wood.” And that was all it was. It had nothing to do with the guy in the room who looked at me like I was dessert.
Christ. It really didn’t.
“You weren’t before.”
“I was, you just didn’t notice, and why the fuck am I explainin’ anythin’ to you?” Turning my back on him, I adjusted myself and begged my dick to quit trying to get attention from just anyone.
Wolf chuckled low behind me. “I think he likes my attention.”
“You’re wrong. I’m goin’ for a shower.” I started for the bathroom.
“See you tonight, Ruin,” he practically purred.
I flicked a hand over my shoulder. “Whatever.”
More laughter followed before my bedroom door closed. I looked down at my dick. “What the fuck, man?” Of course I didn’t get an answer, but I swear to Christ, my dick had a mind of its own.

Coyote -Hawks MC: Next Generation #1

Humiliated years earlier when in high school, Channa Edwards never expects to see her knight in shining armour again. In fact, she really doesn’t want to, but of course, life wants to mess with her again. It’s just by luck he doesn’t recognise her, and for a blissful moment, she thinks she’s got away with it.

That’s until another situation brings her knight back into her life.

Cody “Coyote” Marcus, son to the Hawks MC president, goes through life easily. He has a great family, a business he loves, and women if he wants them. Then, by chance, he meets a cute, bumbling baker, who doesn’t seem to want anything to do with him.

Of course, he has to change that, and make Channa see he’s worth getting to know on all levels.

Mia
 
An island fling was the last thing I expected when I agreed to spend a month on a tropical island with Graham and Soraya as nanny to their sweet little boy. I was planning to relax with the family, enjoy the sun, and get a break from law school...
 
Then a shirtless, tanned Adonis runs onto our beach and into my life.
 
JT is mysterious, rugged, and his gruff exterior should have sent me running in the opposite direction. But something about the man excites me, challenges me to push past my insecurities. And though I don't see myself as a "fling" kind of girl, maybe it's just what I need to move on from my painful past. The trouble is JT has quickly imprinted himself on my soul, and saying goodbye to him is going to break me.
 
JT
 
Going back to the island, the only place I felt like myself, was a no-brainer. Not just somewhere to seek refuge from business, family, and especially women. It's a place of serenity...to clear my head and get rid of the anger of betrayal and figure out what I want to do with my life.
 
Then Mia happens, forcing her way into my heart. Like a violent storm that rushes in, wreaking havoc but ultimately ushering in a new dawn. She sees things in me I never knew existed. But our worlds are spinning in different directions, and no matter how badly I want to hang on, the force pulling us apart might just be too strong for both of us.

Life isn’t fair.

If anyone on Earth should know that, it’s Milena Semyonov.

She’s suffered blow after blow, and the hits just keep on coming.

Just when she’s sworn off being happy, that maybe being numb is the better way to navigate life, she meets him.
Cutter Carson Clayborne.

The man that finally shows her how a real man is supposed to treat her.

Just when she didn’t think life could get any worse, the man that abused her as a young, impressionable teen is back, showing her that life can, in fact, get worse.

When she’s ready to quit, Cutter is there, making sure that she knows that he’ll be there, whether she wants him there or not.

He is her husband, after all. And the unlikely pair have an understanding that they’ll stay married for two years, make a baby, and join two crime syndicates in unholy matrimony.

Cutter has other plans, though. He only agrees to the original plan to make her his.

He won’t ever give her up. What’s his stays his. And there’s not a man on the earth that’ll ever touch Milena again. Not with Cutter alive and able to take out anyone that tries.

Broody. Hot. Intoxicating.
 
Nastya Semyonov first met Haze at a bar, but for Haze Hopkins, duty calls before either can act on their desires. He’s gone without a glance back, leaving her thinking that maybe all the hot looks were only one-sided.
 
Fast forward to the next day, Nastya hitches a ride to her car that she left behind the night before, only to run into the same man from last night.
 
Neither one truly thinks before they act, and they spend a hot fifteen minutes in a fast-food restaurant bathroom before parting ways again.
 
It’s as she’s walking back to her car that she realizes how badly she’s screwed up.
 
Because her car is surrounded in police tape, and there’s one very angry man wearing a badge standing in front of it with her name on an arrest warrant for killing a man.
 
Mistakes were made. Repeatedly.
 
But Detective Haze Hopkins isn’t complaining.
 
He was ready to quit, anyway.
 
Crime pays better.

There was right, there was wrong, and then there was the in-between.
 
The place where normal people reside, understanding that there are two sides to every coin. People that do bad things for good reasons. People that do bad things for bad reasons.
 
First, I knew that Shasha Semyonov was a bad man. One that did bad things for bad reasons. That didn’t mean that I was rational when it came to him.
 
He was toxic to my health, yet I wanted him anyway.
 
They say the first step to healing is admitting when you have a problem.
 
My problem happened to be six feet two inches tall, two hundred and twenty pounds, and bearded to perfection.
 
Oh, and he was also the scariest guy I knew.
 
Meanwhile, I was the laughingstock of the city.
 
The woman who was cheated on by her boyfriend with her best friend, and it was captured live while a band played in the background, perfectly accenting the humiliating video.
 
There was no way that Shasha Semyonov would notice me.
Right?
 
Wrong.
 
I’d definitely been noticed.
