About this listen
From New York Times best-selling author of The Dollar Series comes the first novel in a dark romance duet. She is a woman divided. Her past, present, and future are as twisted as the lies she's lived for the past eight years. Desperate to get the truth, she must turn to the one man who may also be her greatest enemy...
He is the president of Pure Corruption MC. A heartless biker and retribution-deliverer. He accepts no rules, obeys no one, and lives only to reap revenge on those who wronged him. And now he has stolen her, body and soul.
Can a woman plagued by mystery fall in love with the man who refuses to face the truth? And can a man drenched in darkness forgo his quest for vengeance-and finally find redemption?
Ruin & Rule is a full-length audiobok and ends on a cliff-hanger. Cleo and Kill's story continues in Sin & Suffer.

“Must be slim, able to stand for long periods of time, and be impervious to the cold.” The headline caught my attention. “Hours are negotiable, pay is minimal, clothing absolutely forbidden.” The second line piqued my curiosity. “Able to hold your bladder and tongue, refrain from opinions or suggestions, and be the perfect living canvas.” The third made me scowl. I should’ve kept scrolling past the advertisement. I should’ve applied for the boring receptionist job at minimum wage. I should’ve clicked on any other job where I got to keep my clothes on. But I didn’t.

Story
Once upon a time, I was an 18-year-old psychology student. Now, I'm a man's property. Stolen and sold, I've been decorated in bruises since the day my world changed two years ago. I suffer in silence, I crave freedom, but I never break. I can't. Until he arrives. Elder Prest, the only man to look at me and see me. The only man more ruthless than my owner. He wants me for reasons I don't understand. He claims me for one night then leaves and never looks back. Until he returns. And life becomes much more complicated.

First, she meets the man who makes her heart sing. Three years later, she meets the man who makes her blood quiver. Broken-hearted from a teenage romance, Noelle's freedom is no longer hers.

From New York Times best seller Pepper Winters comes one of her best tales yet... "What do you do when you meet your soul mate? No wait...that's too easy. What do you do when you meet your soul mate and have to spend a lifetime loving him in secret? I'll tell you what you do. You lie." Ren was eight when he learned that love doesn't exist - that the one person who was supposed to adore him only cared how much he was worth. His mother sold him and for two years, he lived in terror. But then...he ran.

Life as I knew it ended with a bullet. It stole my brother from me and destroyed my family. From the ashes, I rose stronger and meaner, to exact the kind of revenge best served bloody and cold. I took out every single person I held responsible. Except one. He’s a phantom but his days are numbered. I won’t stop until I’m done. Then she shows up—the forbidden fruit, a light to my darkness. I should resist her because what I touch, I destroy. My feisty wildflower deserves more: more than this, more than me.

And neither will his obsession.

It’s as ridiculous and entertaining as you’d imagine it would be. Heads up this ends on a hell of a cliffhanger I’d recommend having the second one waiting.

Wow, just wow.
This book wasted no time in dragging you straight into the chaos. From paragraph one the mystery starts and goes non-stop. It's a bit angsty, but an excellent story. Your heart is gonna break, it's going to roar, it's going to cry, it's going to heal and then it's going to get cliffhung. But I believe that it's worth it! Starting book 2 now!!

OMG!!!!
I do love me some Kill!!!
He is my all time favorite biker! He's hurt from his past and has revenge on his mind. But his plans change once he finds his Cleo and realizes she's alive! The scenes are off the charts. Plus just like Pepper Winters always does is leaves up in an emotional tailspin. It's such a fantastic book. But there is a WTF Cliffhanger!!!!!! NO!!!!! Just kill me now!!!!! I have to wait months for the next book to come out!!!
The narration is great!

I loved the blending MC and romance
Any additional comments?
Ruin and Rule is a MC second-chance romance by Pepper Winters. The introductions of each chapter are in Kill’s POV and the chapter’s are from the Forgetful Girl. I usually shy away from MC books, but I love Pepper Winter’s books. Ruin and Rule was a nice blending of the two genres.
Kill is troubled. He has mind on revenge. In the cusp of getting the revenge he wanted, he had to steal five girls but the guys from his MC come back with six. The sixth girl stirs something in him that he buried 8 years ago and refuses to think of the possibilities.
The sixth girl has no memory of her past or her name. Only thing she knows is when Kill takes off her blindfold, she recognized his green eyes. She feels an intense draw to him. As the book progresses, she has flashbacks on her past.
I don’t want to spoil the book for you, but I wanted to beat the crap out of Kill and then hold him to sooth his pain. I wanted to throw my Kindle across the room and mourn Kill’s loss. Ms. Winters is an awesome job drawing out all sorts of emotions in the reader with this story.
The end is a HUGE cliffhanger that packs a book hangover. The next book is out in January of 2016 and I had it pre-ordered immediately upon finishing Ruin and Rule. I loved it.

It ends just when the climax begins.
The book was good but to long. Feels like the author writing a big novel. Then cut it into smaller books. That are still drawn out and never gets to the meat of the story. Now you're left hanging wondering if it was worth the time and credit.

Just didn't find the story line to be believable..
The story seemed to be rushed. How did she go 8 yrs without someone letting her know who she was? She got placed in protective custody but she didn't ask who she was being protected from? I won't be continuing the series.

So intense.
I don't know why I haven' t picked this book up sooner. I'm a big fan of Pepper Winters, MC books, and a dark read, and Pepper delivered with this one in spades. This was edgy, intense, and oh so sexy. The narrator did a great job, I just wished there was a male narrator for Kill.
