By: Stella Banks

Narrated by: Raven Rose, Marc Worden

He's the one man she shouldn't want, but his obsession leaves her nowhere to hide...

Marcus

I swore I'd never touch Lainey Daniels. She's my son's ex and too sweet for a man like me.

I try my best to resist her, but one night, I give in.

I take her to my cabin in the mountains to keep her safe.

Now, she's mine, whether she's ready for it or not.

I expect her to run, to hate me for the filthy things I want to do to her, but she doesn't.

She meets my darkness with a blaze of her own. And I'll burn the whole world down before I lose her.

Lainey

Marcus Ruin is everything I want in a man—strong, possessive, and willing to fight for me. He's also my ex-boyfriend's dad and the last man I should want.

But one night, he drags me away to his cabin in the mountains to keep me safe.

And I let him.

I know I should run from the possessiveness in his eyes.

But there's something about his dominance that breaks me apart in all the best ways.

With him, I feel like I've finally found my home. And I'm starting to see that some ruins are worth risking it all...

Made for Ruin is a full-length mountain man romance about a brooding mountain man who will stop at nothing to claim his son's gorgeous ex-girlfriend.

Good erotica

This was a great audio book loved the characters and I loved the voices that came with it . This had really good narration !

Just okay.

Overall the book was okay, wasn’t one of my favorites. I thought it would have a better storyline. Wish I didn’t waste a credit on it.

Ruin

I liked this story, but it moved to fast, Lainey went from a virgin, to spanking, to backdoor, within a week. They never talked to each other about their mutual attraction, it was just, bam, here I am, rip her dress and carry her off like a cave man. This book could have been a five star if there would have been some build up, maybe some flirtatious banter. Narrator’s were good, but on the wrong character in some spicy chapters. Marc Wordens voice is HOT! Raven Rose was great, she does a great man’s voice, but, those spicy spots would have made us swoon.

hot and thrilling

Marcus & Laney: triggers- cancer, gambling, arson, kidnapping, assault, military, BDSM. this was a surprisingly smoking hot ex-boyfriend's/best friend's dad trope. Laney is struggling to keep get family's failing, while also dealing with her brother in prison and hiding a serious crush on her ex boyfriend's dad. Marcus is former military who works security with a former teammate. he's been fighting his feelings for Laney for years but no more. now... she's HIS! I really enjoyed this. though the bdsm was more than expected.
