Ruin & Rule

Ruin & Rule - Pepper Winters ***2.5/3 STARS***

Well,I know I'm in the minority here but this,for me,didn't deliver.To be honest,Pepper Winters is a bit hit and miss for me but I thought...dark Author,MC element..I've got to read this one.

It's not a stereotypical MC book ( but that's not a bad thing at all,I love reading different takes on Genre's)

The story starts of with a girl being taken by a Biker Club to be sold on...at this stage we don't know her name and neither does she as she has amnesia..

Enter the President of the MC..Kill..she's sees something in him she recognizes and he can't believe what he's seeing..

The first half of the book totally held my attention.She struggled to remember her past life and why she felt drawn to him and he struggled with the connection he felt towards her..the anticipation of what was to come was certainly captivating.

But then just before half way things went downhill,for me..

he had been a total badass,Moody,Alpha but suddenly changed into a different person.The rest of the story was dragged out..the exchange with the 'buyer' was just boring.And when he took her back,the whole ..tell me what's happening..no I won't..yes I will..no I won't..well maybe later...grrr it totally infuriated me...this went on forever.


I'm not normally a fan of past/present but it was obviously totally relevant here and it was very well done.I did,however have issues with some of the thoughts of Cleo at a young ageshe's 13 and these are her inner thoughts

I was his.I wanted to be used,abused,taken.I wanted dirt and filth and raw primitive fucking

Hey,I'm no prude but would a 13 year old really think like that??

The other issue I had was with the flashbacks..she seemed to conveniently remember certain things at the right timeso just before they're going to have unprotected sex she suddenly remembers she's got a a coil fitted...well thank goodness for that,eh??..

The story lost credibility for me here and I started skimming ..
