[ARC Review] Ruin by Raven Hush

Publisher's synopsis: He’s a lonely Dom with a wide variety of kinks. She wants to discover everything—until she meets a Blake.

Keria Blythewood loves to hate the shifter community. Not sure she fits in with the crowd at Club Fray, she seeks a Dom online. And when she meets him, he's all the right sort of wrong.

Acclaimed surgeon Damon Blake has more kinks than one person could ever need. Fray provides a tenuous neutral ground while he tests the pleasure of his new submissive. But when he has to tell her the one secret he’s withheld, he isn’t sure if she’ll accept him the way he is … or run screaming from the club’s front doors, leaving him exactly in the position he hates.

Alone.  

My thoughts: Ruin was definitely a short read, but ended up being a whirlwind of action and spice the whole way through.

It did take me a little bit to truly get into the story. Even though the premise was easy enough to follow, it sort of felt like I was dropped into the middle of the action. Of course, at only 60 pages, there wasn't a lot of room for plot or character development; but, what the story lacked in plot, it definitely made up for in spice. 

And Ruin definitely had an ending I did not see coming. After reading such a spicy novella, I was not prepared for Hush's big reveal - it literally left me reeling. Light on plot but heavy on steam, Ruin was a quick, fun escape into Club Fray.
