About this audiobook
In her head, Robin wants to marry her boyfriend. Everything about her relationship with Jay makes sense-makes her happy-but she can't bring herself to accept his proposal. Her body has unfinished business with Patrick, the man who saved her life six years ago. For a long time she assumed her potent feelings for Patrick were born of fear, wrapped up in the night she was attacked, but now she's realizing it's far simpler than that. She wants him. Always has, always will.
More attached to Robin than the idea of her being faithful, Jay gives her the green light to go after Patrick in the hopes that it will demystify the man and get him out of Robin's system. It begs the question-if you've got permission, is it still cheating? And which will ultimately sway the heart-reason or attraction?
Reader Advisory: Robin makes some decisions that might seem to stray into the realm of infidelity . . . but with a temptation like Patrick, who could blame her?
Editor's Note
High Heat and Emotion...
A woman in a comfortable relationship can’t stop thinking about the man who rescued her from an assault and unjustly wound up in prison as a result. Now he’s out, and her boyfriend wants her to get this other man out of her system before they take their relationship to its next level. “Ruin Me” explores both consent and trauma.

What our readers think
Readers find this title intense, captivating, and well-narrated. It is a perfect short story for anyone who has survived trauma and wanted to scratch the itch that sometimes scabs over the indelible pain. Some parts are hot and the book takes the reader on an erotic journey. However, a few readers found it cute but a little bit dummy for their taste, and some couldn't even finish it as they felt the writing was worse than what a 6th grader could do. Overall, it is an okay read that didn't live up to the title.
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5It was a cute, decent book. Writing was mediocre, plot predictable and lacking a bit. Narration wasn’t bad, either. It was steamy, but not my style. Finished because it was a short read, could definitely be someone’s cup of tea. I’m extremely disappointed that author didn’t make this a reverse harem, it had so much potential with a bit more detail in steamy parts. Might be a good level of steam for someone making the transition from romance to smut/erotica. I don’t think I would have finished it had it not been such a short listen!
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5This was a nice story. I liked the "sex battle" I enjoyed the ending and was glad for the way it went. Jay played the game and lost. As per usual I didn't necessarily liked the unsure of herself heroin.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5It was fine, but it is sex and Rescue Romance and White Knight Syndromes in full bloom.
- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5I expected more. The book didn't live up to the title. It was an okay read.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Sorta, kinda, knew how this was going, but it was such an erotic journey to get there, loved every second!
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5It’s cute:) a little bit dummy for my taste, but some parts are hot
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5I love messy and messed up love stories. Somehow this didn't seem too short, even though I tend to prefer much longer books
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Really weird plot line… no man would be like Jay.

- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Intense, captivating, and well-narrated. A perfect short story for anyone who has survived trauma and wanted to scratch the itch that sometimes scabs over the Indelible pain.
This story also made me think about how powerfully erotic it is just to call someone’s name.1 person found this helpful
- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Couldn't even finish it. The writing is worse than what a 6th grader could do. I've seen better written fanfiction.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5There is absolutely no logical reason why this was not a reverse harem. Like, please make it make sense!
