About Wrecked But Not Ruined

Ethan

I had everything. I was going to college and having a blast. Enjoying myself and not taking much seriously. But then, two years ago, everything changed.

A car wreck destroyed my life. It sent me into a total tailspin. I walked away, even when everyone said I wouldn’t be able to.

But I haven’t recovered from it.

The only thing I have left is my best friend, but I’m sure he’ll give up on me soon. Even so, I can’t fight the truth . . . I’m irrevocably ruined.

Knox

College is coming to an end, and I couldn’t be happier to finally start my real life.

Ethan and I had plans. So many amazing plans. And then, everything changed. He was in a horrific wreck, but he miraculously survived. Except it took a piece of him.

I’ve tried to help him get it back. Tried to get him to go to a trauma support group and come back to me.

He thinks he’s broken, but I know the real Ethan is still there. The brave, outgoing man I’ve known my entire life. And I’m going to help him see the truth. That he can overcome this.

That he may have been a little wrecked, but he wasn’t ruined.

Review/Synopsis:

Review:
Ethan has been in the background since the beginning of the Spark of Hope series with hints of his personal story coming through here and there. I know I was curious to finally dig deeper into to who Ethan is and why he suffers from trauma and who he would finally fall for. This book was steeped in healing, while still being super steamy. I loved this friends to lovers trope for Ethan and Knox.

Ethan’s mental PTSD is heartbreaking to read. For a man who walked away from a crash with just a few stitches he’s still suffering from that accident years later and can’t seem to move forward. His best friend, Knox is the one constant who has stuck with him, understanding his severe anxiety, mental blocks, and social withdrawal. However, Knox is also the one person who encourages Ethan to seek help and treatment when Ethan just wants to stay in his withdrawn bubble.

It’s this long term friendship that helps Ethan through his darkest days, but also keeps him from asking for what he really wants, something more. Ethan is scared of the feelings that have been bubbling up inside of him, but he also can’t seem to contain them anymore. He has to let Knox know how he feels, relying on the strength of their friendship because if there is one thing he’s learned, life is short and he wants Knox in it no matter how long it lasts.

Knox deep down knows he feels the same way, when Ethan finally tells him how he feels, but the last thing he wants to do is lose his best friend by crossing a line. Knox loves Ethan as a friend, but can he risk everything by loving him as more and then it doesn’t work out in the end?

These two have such a great friendship, that crossing that line is such a beautiful thing. I love this addition to the Spark of Hope series and love how Nicole has mixed taking care of mental health with a healthy relationship.

The Wild by Penelope Black

The Wild is the thrilling conclusion to the Las Vegas duet!

#1Cʟɪᴄᴋ: https://amzn.to/3RfpirA

As the firstborn King, I should be the heir to the Irish Syndicate.

Instead, my father wants to marry me off to the highest bidder to fund a war I don’t believe in.

My carefully controlled life starts to unravel, spiraling out of control faster than I can stop it.

And then I meet them, and I can breathe again.

Tall with perpetual smirks and covered in tattoos, they remind me what it feels like to live.

Remind me that I don’t need someone to save me.

I’m a King. I can save myself.

Blurb:

From USA Today & Wall Street Journal bestselling author Michelle Heard, writing as MA Heard, comes a new, full-length Dystopian Romance novel.

Over the past four decades, the dome over our Ecocity has protected us from the deviants living in the forbidden territory. Since the great war ended, our lives have consisted of virtue and order.

Once a year, seven people are sent out to the forbidden lands to see if there are any deviants worth saving. None have returned, only increasing people’s fear of what lies beyond the safe border of the dome.

When I’m chosen as a crusader, the world, as I know it, is ripped from under my feet. In the forbidden territory, I learn things I never dreamed existed – a world I’ve been totally oblivious to. I meet people who freely show emotion and affection. People who dare make their own choices.

It’s frightening and the opposite of everything I’ve ever known.

Suddenly, I have to fight for my life. I’m thrown into chaos where time is running out to become a skilled fighter who will be an asset for the coming war. But my mind’s bombarded with questions – who’s right and who’s wrong? Which side should I fight on?

I don’t belong in this world filled with cruelty and depravity.

Then there’s Chance, my reluctant trainer. The man is the definition of deadly and so attractive I struggle to think straight around him. I’m also pretty sure he would love nothing more than to snap my neck. Cruel, impatient, and harsh, he’s a brute who seems annoyed by my existence.

Honestly, I’m not sure I will survive living with the deviants, never mind fighting in a war. Unless I find my courage and learn to fight for myself, I fear this new world will crush me.

Author’s Note:

18+ ONLY.

This book contains mature language, graphic violence, and explicit content.

New Release – Tempt by Melanie Harlow

You’ve heard the story about the wedding planner who falls for the groom?
Well, this is the one where she falls for his father.
And that groom? He’s my ex.

TEMPT, an all-new scorching hot age gap, forbidden, small town romance, featuring a plus-sized heroine and her ex’s irresistible dad from USA Today bestselling author Melanie Harlow, is now available!

I didn’t realize who the gruff, gorgeous older man was the night he rescued me from a creep in a Manhattan hotel bar. All I knew was that a hot, bearded stranger with a protective streak showed up right when I needed a reminder that real gentlemen still exist.

(Although he left his manners behind after asking me up to his room.)

It was the hottest night of my life, but I never thought I’d see the former Navy SEAL again.

Imagine my surprise at the rehearsal dinner one week later, when my sexy one-night stand is introduced as the father of the groom. Even more surprising? That temptation we felt in New York was no fluke.

In public, we pretend there’s nothing between us.

In private, we can’t keep our hands off each other.

The situation is beyond complicated. Zach never even knew he’d fathered a child until recently, and he wants to earn his son’s trust and respect. As for me, I’m looking for a man who wants to start a family, and Zach has made it clear he’s not that man. He’s fifteen years older, newly divorced, and he lives across the country.

But no matter how many times we draw the line, we keep crossing it.

Nothing so wrong should ever feel so right.
