About this listen

Discover the serial killer romance series everyone is talking about!

'Hilarious, heart-warming, sexy . . . and gory. The perfect cocktail that will have you swooning and laughing. The funnest read of the year!' H. D. Carlton, international and USA Today bestselling author of Haunting Adeline

'So fresh and different. It's like a funny, irreverent version of Dexter - only there's two of them and sexual tension' Abby Jimenez, New York Times bestselling author of Yours Truly

----

From the no.1 New York Times bestselling author of the genre-breaking international TikTok sensation Butcher & Blackbird and Leather & Lark comes the final book in the Ruinous Love Trilogy - a friends-with-benefits dark romantic comedy.

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-fiance 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.

Every audiobook in this series is brilliant.

Finally we get to find out what Doctor Kane and Rose have been up to!

I loved Roses character- a serial killer who gets grossed out by gore.

Also that second epilogue - how interesting. I love Brynne books!

What a finale!

Perfect ending to the ruinous love trilogy. 🖤
It's so easy to fall in love with all of the main characters in each one of these 3 books. So great that I don't think I can pick a favourite, as they are all unique in there own ways, but it's definitely going to be a book and series that I will read/listen to over and over again. 🕸🍦🎸✨️🚑🎪🪓🗡👻

Amazing!🥹

So, I think Scythe & Sparrow is my favourite book out of The Ruinous Love Trilogy.
Fionn & Rose are by far my favourite book couple!
Rose is whitty and hilarious and such a genuine character. I adore her.
Fionn, he has my heart! What a golden retriever!
Their story filled me with so much joy.

I love how Rose just wants to help people, even if it doesn't always go to plan. She such a strong woman. You just want everything to work out for her.

Fionn is so fierce, loyal and protective. How he cares for Rose is just beautiful and I found myself dating out loud, "just tell her how you feel you div!" 🤣

I absolutely adore how these books all cross over with each other, and the characters from the other books pop up.
The epilogue for this book was brilliant, so please do stick around for it 😍

I listened to this on audiobook and the narrators just made this book everything that is was.
And, if you're a fan of an Irish accent, you're gonna love it 🩷

Amazing & fun

This was such a great round to the series. Having got to know all the characters and seeing it from different angles you now understand the tension and looks otherwise not understood. Although not my favourite couple out of the trilogy they round the whole piece of wonderfully and makes me sad to think it’s now ended … or has it!!

The grand finale
