​quest to escape the pain of rejection she jumps into the bed of an irresistible man who offers her a night that she'll never forget. Their connection is fierce and undeniable. When their paths cross again, a twist of fate brings her to the realization that the man she's using to mend her broken heart is Dr. Ben Foster, a compassionate and respected physician. Warnings about his past threaten Kayla's future. She knows she should believe the rumors, but the moments she spends in his arms, and in his bed, wash away any doubt in her mind. She sees a future with Ben but those closest to her won't let her forget that the man she's falling for has left a path of ruin in his wake that may impact her in a way she never saw coming. RUIN - Part Two Kayla Monroe had fallen hard and fast for Dr. Ben Foster. He was everything she needed and wanted after being dumped by the man she thought she loved. What started as a one night stand quickly turned into a blossoming relationship. Then the complications of his youth halt everything in its tracks. The voices around her are telling Kayla that Ben isn't the man she thinks he is but her heart is telling her something completely different. She's drawn to him like a moth to a flame and as she listens as he explains his past, she sees the promise of a future with him that she desperately wants. She's the thread that will weave a path for Ben back into the family he has lost. She senses it and as she takes on the task of releasing him from his burdens, she discovers that the man she has been sharing her bed with is, more complicated than she ever imagined. Just as Kayla is about to step into her future with Ben, she ends up in a place where she's forced to accept a truth that she never knew existed. RUIN - Part Three Kayla Monroe felt safe in the arms of Dr. Ben Foster. He was helping her move past a broken heart and she was guiding him towards a reclaimed relationship with the brother he'd lost years ago. Their bond was unique, strong and bordering on a love that would change them both forever. Then Kayla found herself thrust into the middle of a triangle she wanted no part of. She heard things that altered her reality completely. There's no one for her to rely on but herself and she has to decide whether a familiar voice from the past holds more weight than the promise of a future she can't quite grasp yet. Trusting her heart has never been easy for Kayla. Trusting others has never been easy for Ben. Together they have to determine whether the sins of the past are too much to bear or whether a connection that is undeniable is worth the risk.

Hanleigh's Review

As always I will say that the thing I love most about Deborah Bladon's books is the world she works in. She's created a world rich with characters and this book brings two more into the mix, Ben and Kayla. Bladon's books aren't the longest but I sort of like that. I like the fact that I read them in a night and she leaves me hanging on a cliff waiting for the next one. Her characters are always complex and unique. The story starts when Kayla has sex with a stranger she met on a plane from Boston to New York. No names. No promises. Nothing except sex. Except suddenly the guy turns out to be twin brother's with her best friend's fiancee and apparently he hasn't stopped thinking about her since their night together.

Ben, fucking sexy hot doctor man is full of charisma and charm. He's HOT! Kayla is pretty and fun. Their attraction is immediate and insanely intense. There were a ridiculous number of plot twists and there was never a dull moment. On the surface everything is great. Ben is kind and compassionate - he's a fricking doctor. But he has secrets and his brother Noah absolutely loathes him but the question is why! Ben and Kayla go on a journey of discovery as those dark secrets are exposed and Kayla has a choice to make.
