I had already guessed everything that he said while reading the first book a few weeks ago. Well, I am not surprised by ANYTHING that was revealed at the end of the book in the (awkward) letter Nyfain wrote to Finley. I’ve given you plenty of opportunities, but you’ve held back because you were preparing for this moment. You’re not my mate, and you haven’t claimed me. It’s my entire duty as your-” He cut off. It gets much better near the end, which is why I will probably give the third book a chance, but the rest of the book is just sex, sex, and more sex (again, not a bad thing, but I was looking for a plot, not just sex). If you remove all the sex scenes from the book, the plot is very thin (and the book is about 100 pages shorter). Don't get me wrong, I love the smut and sexy moments, but I also wanted a more grasping storyline. This story is really more focused on the romance and relationship development between Finley and Nyfain, which is not a bad thing, but I was looking for something a little more plot-driven. While there is a plot, it's weak and does not progress much during the 400 pages of this book. Thankfully, Hadriel was there to save the day with his funny moments. I won’t leave you to brave the demons on your own.

I’ll be your second maid, how’s that? I’ll be with you every step of the way, doll. “That’s it, I’m going to commission a maid outfit. I will look forward to my eventual demoralization.” Insult my masculinity whilst forcing me to spend prolonged time in your presence, which will likely make me shit myself before the day is through. “Sir…” Hadriel looked between Nyfain and me. I lost the color in my personality for a moment. “Suck a rock, Gyril.” Hadriel gave me a grin, a twinkle in his eye.

“Keep talking, shitstain, and we’ll get to that wrestling match,” Gyril muttered. “I was going to say I got swept up with these nitwits, but sense left them years ago.”

“What are your plans for this evening, Miss Finley?” Hadriel called.

This book is basically smut upon smut, with a dash of non-sexual action scenes, conversations that often are full of sexual innuendos, and a bunch of cringe-worthy sexual letters exchange. I have a few issues with this book, I did not enjoy it as much as I hoped to, but the ending is promising and intriguing, so I will probably continue with the next book just to see if the plot finally moves forward and things finally start to change.

A court of ruin
