About this listen

Have you ever taken one look at someone and wanted to destroy them?

That was the only thought going through my mind when I laid eyes on Lana James after she literally crashed her way into my life.

So that's exactly what I set out to do. Only I didn't take into account the way her body would make me feel, the way her words would set my soul on fire, or how her lips pressed against mine would rewrite everything I've ever known.

I think maybe, I won't be the one to destroy her, she'll be the one to ruin me.

This is a dark, enemies to lovers college romance and is book one in a series of four interconnected standalones. This book ends with a HEA and no cliffhanger. Intended for mature audiences. Content warnings listed inside the book and on the authors website.

Fast paced and dark, this is the perfect listen for me! Lana is at Blackwater University, but is she there to be a student? This woman is a tough, dangerous woman and not afraid of anything. Cole, your typical spoiled rich kid has no love for Lana. At least that is what he thinks. The thin line between love and hate separate these two and draw them together at the same time. The twists and turns that S Wilson takes in this new dark college romance kept me on edge, not only the foreplay between Cole and Lana, but treacherous danger that is following Lana. The loyalty, the depth and the passion of all the characters is unbending. The tragedies that make the heart hurt give the depth and realism to their personalities. I loved this one, especially with the strength that Lana has! It's so much fun to have the female be the one in charge! I can't wait for the next one in the series to see what happens next.

And enhancing the story is Maxine Mitchell and Scott Rose! What a team to make the darkness deep and the feelings strong. I loved these two together as they created all the feels, from anger to love and had me invested in the outcome. I couldn't stop listening to their amazing performance.

Cole & Lana!

Ruining Him by S. Wilson

Performed in duet by Maxine Mitchell & Scott Rose

I first found S. Wilson as an author through her fantastic mafia series The Romano Empire, which is one of my top 5 series of all time, but now she has brought us this dark world of academia with this first book in the Blackwater University Series.

Cole Aston is rich, entitled and a pretty boy with a dark secret that he guards as closely as his heart, no woman can keep his interest for more than one night and he likes it this way no distractions mean he can continue on path to take over his father company, that is until he meets Lana James a woman with an even darker past and deeper secrets, who has a price on her head and is living in plan site on the collage campus.

These two absolutely hate each other and are dead set on seeing who can destroy who first, but as the story evolves things start to change and you know what they say there is a fine line between love and hate, Lana is tough, non nonsense and believe she is unlovable but Cole starts to change her thinking especially in the bedroom where he is happy to let her take full control of this part of their life, he knows she needs to control and he needs to let go of it, and I loved that he was written as vulnerable but still totally masculine and as the secrets are gradually starting to be revealed, an obsession takes hold & there’s nothing Cole won’t do for his tough, ass-kicking girl.

S. Wilson is the master of for writing strong male and female characters who clash but work hard to grab their happiness.

Maxine Mitchell and Scott Rose who is new to me are absolutely fantastic, the banter, sarcasm and wit is top notch and along with Cole’s three best friends who bring so many extra layers to the story I throughly love this audio and can’t wait for more.

Absolutely love this

I found a new obsession! And i need you all to read it, or listen to it, because the audio on this one was perfection!

If you are looking for a book where she is the more unhinged one, this one is definitely for you! You will love Lana, she knows how to stalk, knows how to fight, and knows how to uncover new kinks in Cole. What more would you like?

I loved both Lana and Cole, they were amazing, and Cole’s acceptance that he is a good boy was everything! I did feel that the ending was a bit rushed, with all the things uncovered, but it was still an awesome book!

I don’t think i’ll be shutting up about this book for a while now, and i need Gracie’s story stat!

absolutely amazing!
