review 1: 3.5 stars. I liked this book...I really did but I had such a hard time with Syn. I'm a crier but dang, this chick cried all the time! It was a little too much for me especially when she was crying over a boy she didn't even know. Her instant love for Rhye was too much too soon for me. I did however enjoy getting into Rhye's head. My heart hurt for him but I wasn't able to connect with his want to be better. I just didn't feel his fight:( I know that he was an addict but it bothered me that he still longed for other woman even after being with Syn. I guess that's reality but this is a book so that didn't sit well with me. Lol. My favorite part? Kane! Loved the cameo of the characters from Ruining Me/You. Just in that small scene...fell in love with Kane all over again! I wo... moreuld definitely recommend this book to those who have read Ruining Me/You. It was a nice companion novel:) It answered some questions and of course gave you Rhye's story. Still love that Kane calls Rhye wheat bread!
review 2: Ruining Me and Ruining You are two of my most favorite books ever. I pimp them to anyone who will listen and have had several people thank me for recommending them. Upon finishing Ruining You, I IMMEDIATELY messaged Nicole Reed and told her I HAD to have Rhye’s story. So to say I have been waiting “anxiously” for it to come out is like saying the Pope is a “little bit” Catholic. I have been stalking Nicole’s FB page daily for the release date and I may have squealed like a 3 year old girl and clapped my hands when I saw it on my Kindle.Rhye Clark was the drug using, tattooed, incredibly HOT rocker bad boy who fed Jay’s bad girl persona in RM and RY. At the end of Ruining You we find Rhye on his way to LA to finally make it big with his band, The Mavericks. He leaves broken hearted, having lost the only girl he ever loved, Jay, to Kane. Wasted Heart picks up a few years later with an extremely broken Rhye. His band finally made it but drugs and personal demons have destroyed him and he is on the verge of losing everything. His recording company gives him one last shot to clean up his act and produce a new album. They send him to Tennessee where he meets Syn Landry, a 19 year old up and coming country artist who is the exact opposite of Rhye. Syn is wholesome and pure, doesn’t drink and truly believes there is good in everyone. Syn’s only issue is that she is hesitant to trust due to the loss of her mother at a young age. She has only met one person who made her want to let her guard down and he ended up hurting her. So imagine her surprise when she meets Rhye and is immediately not only attracted to him, but feels this instant deep connection.“I feel this is where my life has been leading me. To him.”Unfortunately, Rhye does NOT feel the same way at first. He sees her as way too innocent for him and only wants to get in her pants for a quickie. Unbeknownst to him, Syn is a virgin and has been saving herself for the right person. Rhye does not feel he is worthy of her love because of his drug addiction and the guilt he is carrying over his band mate killing himself and his role in a high school tragedy. He repeatedly tries to push Syn away but she is unwavering in her support and love for him.“When I want something. Someone. I fight for them, and I don’t give up until I get what I want. You need to know that. You need to prepare yourself for me. Get right with Jesus and take care of whoever or whatever you need to because you and I are far from over.” This is NOT a pretty love story. Rhye is broken and Reed does not sugar coat what a drug addict goes through. There is a ton of angst but also some amazingly tender moments... and let’s not forget about the STEAM. When these two finally get together, it will make you squirm in your seat and definitely tingly in your lady bits ;) With Syn’s love and support, Rhye comes to grips with his demons and realizes he has a lot to live for. This book is a REAL love story and I really loved that about it. While I will say it has a HEA and I was happy with how it ended, it isn’t all rainbows and unicorns. With all of that said, I really enjoyed it and I definitely recommend this book! I give it 4.5 stars! less
