Review: Ruin (Hawks MC: Next Generation Series Book 2) by Lila Rose

Ruin by Lila Rose
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Hot M/M MC Novel

I’d probably give this book 4.5 ⭐️ if I could.

This is the second in the series, and though it *can* be read alone, it would definitely benefit from being read with the first in this series, in particular. If you read the original series, you will gain even more from this book.

This book is about Ruin. In the previous book, we know Ruin goes off to Melbourne to help Mimi, one of the club girls. He slept with her and when she wanted more he brushed her off. Now he wants to make up for the way in which he let her down and look after her when she returns to her family to say goodbye to her dying father.

Mimi’s brother Wolf is now in charge of the family business, which happens to be guns and drugs, and he wants to make changes to the very old fashioned traditional Japanese style family, especially as he is gay. Wolf is very attracted to Ruin who is straight and flirts with him every chance he gets. Ruin starts to sort of enjoy the flirting and finds himself having to change his mind about his sexuality.

I really enjoyed this heck out of the book. It’s filled with flirting and sensuality. It’s a slow journey for Ruin and Wolf. I like that he’s there a while before deciding to take a leap. I also like that the author refers to an earlier book she wrote, along similar lines, when he gets advice from Knife, who fell for his MC brother Beast.

The plot of this book is interesting but there is much more focus on the romance aspect of things. There are lots of pretty explicit and hot scenes between these two men, so if it’s not your cup of tea, you may want to skip this one. However, if you’ve read other books by this author you are probably ok with the quantity of M/M loving.

I really liked both Ruin and Wolf. They are great characters. Ruin is an all or nothing kind of guy. He’s loyal and loving but knows he can be a bit of an ass sometimes when he doesn’t think things through properly. Wolf is strong, ruthless and intelligent. He thinks strategically and is used to keeping in control the whole time. Their chemistry sizzles on the page.

This is an excellent book, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I can’t wait to see what Lila Rose has up her sleeve next for this generation of Hawks!
