Review
Shockingly, I enjoyed this more than the first one in this trilogy. I know most readers will disagree but that’s just how I felt 🤷🏻♀️
Anyhow, I still felt like the story was missing a plot, and it seems like this author does love an insta-love kind of story. There is just no relationship buildup. Too much spice with very little relationship development. But then there’s Fionn… sigh. And I really really liked him! 🥰
“The show can’t start until you jump.”
“It’s okay to love your darkness and still love yourself. It doesn’t make you a bad person. It makes you a whole one.”
˚₊· ͟͟͞͞➳❥ This is book 3 in the The Ruinous Love Trilogy. Each one can be read as a complete standalone.

From the #1 New York Times and USA TODAYbestselling author of the genre-breaking international TikTok sensation Butcher & Blackbirdand Leather & Larkcomes the final book in the Ruinous Love Trilogy—a friends-with-benefits dark romantic comedy packed with murder, mayhem, and spice.
Doctor Fionn Kane is running from a broken heart, one he hopes to mend in small-town Nebraska, far away from his almost-fiancé and his derailed surgical career. It’s a simpler life: head down, hard work, and absolutely no romantic relationships. He wants none of the circus he left behind in Boston.
But then the real circus finds him.
Motorcycle performer Rose Evans has spent a decade on the road with the Silveria Circus, and it suits her just fine, especially when she has the urge to indulge in a little murder when she’s not in the spotlight. But when a kill goes awry and she ends up with an injured leg, Rose finds herself stuck in Nebraska, at the home of the adorably nerdy town doctor.
The problem is, not every broken heart can be sewn back together.
. . . And the longer you stay in one place, the more likely your ghosts are to catch up.
