Ruined (A Decadence after Dark Epilogue) (The Decadence After Dark Series)

Kayne and Ellie pulled me in with the cupcake scene in Owned and owned ME. When Ellie took what she wanted from Kayne in Claimed, my heart was full to bursting. Ruined? OMG And let me back up. Jett stole my heart in Owned as well. I might love him more than Kayne. In Claimed, he continued his friendship with Ellie, but ... more. Oh, how I thought I couldn't want him more, even though *he* was Claimed by London. Ruined? Just wow. Wow. Ruined isn't an epilogue about Kayne and Ellie, though it's an epilogue about Kayne and Ellie (and I'll explain). We get to see the relationship between Jett and London and Kayne and Ellie, and exactly how they are *family*. It's not just naughty. It's a love of one another deeper than most friends have. They've lived through so much together, do so much together, and they've truly become a familial unit. And I love it. There's nothing more beautiful than that kind of deep friendship. Kayne and Ellie's love is so amazingly beautiful. They are able to sense each other's moods and know when it's time to do something *more* to help one another. Their sexual relationship is still naughty - not just kinky, but it's still as hot, sexy, KINKY, amazingly D/s and the same experimentally dark as it's always been. However, it's also still full of love. Kayne ruined Ellie for any other man in every single way. No other will love her the way he will. The wonderful thing is that Ellie has done the same to Kayne, and it makes him happier than he could ever admit. This book is a wonderful epilogue to the other two books. I refuse to say it's any kind of ending to their story. While it may say and portray that it is, I have no doubt they will appear in future stories; and by that, I not only mean future books, but books set farther into the future. I personally think MNever loves these two characters too much to let them go. I don't want to through the story line too much so that I don't give away any spoilers. Kayne and Ellie make a couple of huge decisions. Jett and London are there through everything. Ellie helps her husband through a life-changing event. Kayne and Ellie ... well, they are perfect. My only wish is that she was Owned by Him and he was Claimed by Her. But that's a personal preference, and one you'll only understand if you read the book. WHICH IS A MUST! This series starts out dark, but it's a MUST READ. Go through all of it so that you can see the beauty of the love between them - Kayne and Ellie, and then the whole family. You won't regret it.

This is one of my favorite covers from the series. This installment is shorter then the previous two but it's emotionally charged. There's no secret I loved these characters. I love the naughtiness of Kayne and Ellie. Holly Hell and the time with Jett was simply Hot. Drool! Hot, sexy and definitely naughty. I do recommend you read the others before you read this one so you can understand the dynamics of the characters. A wonderful ending to their family. Happy reading!

What an amazing journey this series has taken us on! I have absolutely fallen in love with the author and all the characters!! Kayne and Ellie's story has went to all kinds of extremes, way more than I could have ever imagined, but I have loved every second of it! I wasn't sure what this epilogue of their story would entail. I was so sad to see it come to an end but M. Never still managed to surprise me in the best way possible by using this epilogue to not only turn the heat up even more (which I swear I didn't think was even possible!) but also to end their story in a way that brought me happiness and a sort of peace about letting their story end! All markings of a truly astounding, super talented, genius of an author!! Plus, it's definitely helps a lot actually to know that their story wasn't really ending, more like it was just really beginning! Im not gonna say more about the book tho, don't wanna give away any spoilers, but just know this may be a short story wrapping up Kayne and Ellie's journey but I promise u this, it still packs a punch and was intense and hot and so many more adjectives that I will wrap into one description: PERFECTION!!! Absolutely can't wait for more! I'm so glad we will still get to have snippets of these two as well in the following books! Beyond ready to read more of not only this series but also any and all work done by M.!!!

Owned-Claimed-Ruined: Let me start off by saying this was one of the most cohesive series I have read in a long time. Yes, this is dark erotica! I don’t know how to review them separately because I can’t detach the story now that I have read the whole thing. I went on such an emotional ride with these people that there is no #1, #2, and #3. It is all one world….one amazing, fabulous, stressful, crazy, sad, wonderful world! Ellie and Kayne’s journey was epic. Nothing short. Yes the sex was amazing, and the content dark and ruthless at times, but as the reader continues on with the story, they get to witness the transformation of these characters from something borderline horrid to beyond beautiful. Nothing was rushed, the brutality of book one was complex but always digestible and never hopeless. Ellie’s pain was gut wrenching, but Kayne’s torment seemed worse. He was his own worst enemy emotionally. The author never gave a reason to give up on either of them. Was Kayne a selfish bastard? Yes! Definitely! But they need love too. There is always a reason. In book two, Ellie’s ability to own what happened to her, to understand it, says everything about her strength. She demanded resolution, for both of them, and got it! I had to completely detach from their ages because that was the only thing that required super-suspended disbelief reading powers. But that is typical these days. Highly recommended!

What a wonderful conclusion to a brilliantly written series. I read this instalment in one sitting because I just couldn't put down! M.Never once again ensnared me into the world of Kayne and Ellie and I loved every second of it. So in this book, Ellie and Kayne have been married for 4 years. They are very happy with their life although Kayne wants children. Ellie is still not sure she wants to have a child knowing all the evil that is in the world, but with the help of their close friends, London and Jett, Ellie realises that maybe giving Kayne a child wouldn't be such a bad thing, after all he is wonderful with London and Jett's daughter. We learn more about Kayne's mother in this story and it really gives closure and changes who Kayne is as a person and endearing him to me even more. His first conversation with Alec brought tears to my eyes. I really felt the love and emotion through the pages. I love the way the author addressed all the small little issues that arose in these stories and made sure that everything was neatly tied off with a big white collar. I will miss Kayne and Ellie, but atlas there is a happy ending and I can always revisit them when I miss them too much.

The finale to the Decadence After Dark series, a very satisfying ending to this series. Once again it is smoking hot and well done. Will Kanye and Ellie have children? What will happen to thier relationship if they do? Can Kayne deal with his past in order to move foward with his future? Jett and London, now married with kids help move the story along and also have some fun along the way. I almost feel that these two couples should just buy a big mansion and move in together, and oh how hot that would be! Yikes, I take that back, the house might burn down!

Kayne Roberts. Kayne Rivers. Kayne Stevens. No matter his name, one fact remains the same. He's the man who enslaved me, ensnared me, claimed me and ruined me...For all other men that is. My life. My love. My happiness. All belong to him. I belong to no one but him. He owns me. And I own him. This is the third and final book in the Decadence After Dark series, but it came about due to the persistent urging of fans who wanted to know what happened with Ellie and Kayne. As the book opens up, we see that Ellie is still playing the role of Kayne's kitten, even after they have been married for over four years now. I really enjoyed the interaction with Jett's little girl and Kayne. There was just a special bond between them that makes you realize that he would be a wonderful father. But, Ellie has her own reservations that she needs to deal with. I don't want to give spoilers, but you really do need to read this book. Even if you haven't read the other books in the series, you will be able to follow this book without feeling like you are missing something. Now, looking forward to getting CJ and Tara's story! Favorite Quotes <---> But that's the funny thing about life. You never know what direction it's going to shove you in. <---> I can't help but think how one simple lick of a cupcake tilted my world on its axis and spun it in a completely different direction. <---> I am yours, signed, sealed and delivered.

This was the perfect ending to Kayne & Ellie’s story. While it could have ended after Ruined, I’m glad the author took it further & that Ellie finally got Kayne to agree to her fantasy.

What a great way to end Ellie's and Kayne's story. It was hot, emotional and ended on a happy note. She brought it around full circle and I loved it. I am so glad I read this series and I can't wait to read the next book and then Jett's story!!!!

Perfect Epilogue to an amazing series. Kayne & Ellie's story was an emotional start, a very hot journey and shows a wonderful future. Ruined is a fast & very hot read, loved hearing about London & Jett life's and the unbreakable friendship they all share. Highly recommend read to finish ~ Decadence After Dark series

BOOK 3 It was awesome, has a great balance of story, sex and love featuring alpha males and strong female charcters. The books in this series just keep getting better. Oh and i know Jett isnt the main focus in this book but i think im already in love with him!

Loved the conclusion to this series. It was passionate and exciting! We finally see our couple together so happy a must read series

This is a fantastic little wrap up story I'm so glad I got to finish Kayne and kittens love story ❤️. Definitely an easier read quick still got some spice to it though.
