**Stand alone. Enemies-to-lovers. Tons of angst, secrets and steamy vengeance.**

LEAH
When I was too young to know any better Ryan Jedson fascinated me.
After he went on the run I thought I'd never see him again.
I was wrong.
Now that he's back in town I realize it's a bad idea to catch his eye.
And yet I can't help it.
Sometimes you want the one you shouldn't want.
But there's a complication.
He has no idea that I'm the reason his life fell apart.
And I don't know what he'll do if he ever finds out.

RYAN
Back in the day when we were neighbors she was too young, not even worth a second look.
However, six years have gone by and now Leah Brandeis is fair game.
I see how she looks at me.
I understand she thinks her secret is safe.
And I'm playing along.
For now.
But soon the truth will come out and there will be hell to pay.
Because I know what she did.
I've always known.

Jedson and Leah

Reviewed in Australia on 6 October 2019

Verified Purchase

Emblem diehards both Leah and Jedson. I found their story echoed a painful past of manipulation, abuse and neglect. Sad, raw and a storyline that draws you in from the start, I enjoyed Jedson and Leah's story. It doesn't go straight to a HEA like most contemporary reads do, but a slow burning journey to understanding, truth and ultimately love. I loved their journey and seeing Emblem being reinvented from a hellhole into a promising town. I highly recommend and can't wait to read the next story.

Leah Brandeis had always had a crush on Ryan Jedson. He was five years older than Leah and the son of her mothers best friend. Ryan loved living in Emblem and was known as a bad boy, but after being falsely accused of murder six years ago, he had no choice but to run away and assume a new identity. Ryan believed it was because of Leah that he was being accused, and owed to make her pay. Once his name was cleared, Ryan returned to Emblem to seek his revenge and destroy Leah’s life.

Cora never fails to deliver and this book is as awesome as all her other books. I felt every emotion Leah felt as though they were my own. I absolutely love all the characters from Emblem, and can’t wait for the next story.

Ryan & Leah

Reviewed in Australia on 29 June 2019

I missed Tristan’s book in this series, but I can definitely say that Jedson reads as a stand-alone.
I have to start off by saying that I absolutely despised Leah’s mother. What an absolutely horrible woman. That she met a painful ending really did put a smile on my face.
I really enjoyed reading Leah & Ryan’s story. As messed up as it was to begin with. They are two people who really do deserve to have their HEA.
There is so much story before they get that HEA and I don’t want to say too much as I worry I will give away too much of the story. There are plenty of roller coaster emotions that is for sure.
I voluntarily reviewed an advanced readers copy of this book.

Good read

Reviewed in Australia on 24 July 2019

I always enjoy Cora Brent especially books in the Gentry world. I have to admit I found it a bit hard to get past the ice factor of going where a family member has gone before.

I really liked Leah and thought she had a touch time but at the same time I think she was a bit too forgiving. She and Ryan and chemistry though and she really deserved her HEA.

LOVE!

Reviewed in Australia on 27 June 2019

I knew as soon as this story was hinted at in the first book that I was going to love it and I wasn’t wrong! Completely devoured this book from start to finish, it’s a mix between friends to lovers and enemies to lovers, their story is emotional and complex. It was so well written and though I hated Ryan for the first 50% or so, I loved their chemistry and their journey. And a beautiful ending!

Book 2 of The Ruins of Emblem and it's equally as good as book 1! Bloody loving it!

We had little snippets of what was to come by Leah's reaction in Tristan's book but it went a whole lot deeper than we thought.

Leah is desperately trying to keep the Dirty Cactus open. The local bar is the main meeting place in Emblem maybe even the only one so business isn't bad but her dads mistakes are making it difficult to stay open. She's given up her life to help her dad out but it's proving a labour of love.

Ryan is back in Emblem after a 6 year hiatus. He was running from the law for something he didn't do and he finally has the news he was hoping for. The true culprit has finally been found and he was able to return home. He's back and determined to make his mark and pay back those who tried to take away his freedom and stole his last moments with his mom. He's out for revenge and he knows exactly how to get it.

Leah hears Ryan was back in town and was anxious to see him. She had so much to say to him but didn't know where to start, but when he walks into her bar weeks later with a big smile for her she thinks all is ok. She still has a big crush on the boy from next door. A bit of attention from him and she's putty in his hands.

Has the past been forgotten?

Ohhhhh these two!!! Hot hot hot!! I half expected Leah to be a meek little kitten.... Boy was i way wrong. The heat and chemistry just constantly bubbles under the surface waiting to burst into flames! Ryan is blunt and to the point and woooo mama he got me all flustered.

I love the plot for this story. Their pasts. Their in-between. And their present all added up to make a cracking story.

I felt sorry for both of them from the start. Neither were to blame for what happened between them so even when things were not so nice between them you couldn't bring yourself to dislike either of them.

Their honesty was fantastic when it came to fun times but when it came to real conversations the pair of them shut up shop! Gah i found myself talking to my kindle telling it to make them talk. Say it now! But nooooo they didn't listen! Lol They were too busy tip toeing around each other. But of course it all works out thank goodness and what a lovely ending it was.

There's something different about this series compared to The Gentry's and i'm not sure what it is. Its definitely sexier i'd say and also a little darker in it's undertones. I'm not sure but i know i'm loving it. Its great to see Emblem coming to life again. I've spent years hating that town as much as the triplets did but now it's sneaking it's way into my heart. There's life in the old town yet!! I think the name needs to be changed to Rising of Emblem not Ruins because that's exactly what its doing. Rising.

Of course the little Gentry part made me smile big. It's always great to see any of them.

Loved the story. Loved the characters. Loved the passion. Loved it all.

This is seriously why Cora is one of my bestest favoritest authors ever! I'm never let down. I'm never disappointed and i know for just a few hours i can escape to a whole other world.

Highly recommend.

Cora, you did it again. Jedson was such an emotional read and you will love these characters. You understand Ryan's reason with Leah and their past. I won't say too much other than read for yourself and live in the Emblem world. I love the history Cora has built with this town from Book 1. I cannot wait for the next book.

Heat & Heart Fill This Amazing Romance

Reviewed in the United States on 27 June 2019

Verified Purchase

I loved this book so much. Leah and Ryan's story captured my attention and my heart. Drama, steam, intense emotions, angst, passion and romance are blended beautifuly into story line that will keep you fully engaged and invested in this couple. Leah made my heart ache. She had been through so much. If anyone deserves happiness and true love it was her. Ryan is the type of hero that falls under the love to hate heading. His anger and need for vengence make him do and say some very unlikable things at the beginning of this couples journey. He will redeem himself beautifully though and in the end be a truly swoon worthy hero. In spite of the history between these two there is no denying their attraction and their chemistry. An excellent read that delivers all the heat and heart you could ever want. This is my truthful review that I am posting of my own accord.

An emotional and engaging read

Reviewed in the United States on 28 June 2019

Verified Purchase

This author has been on my TBR for a while now, and this new release seemed like a good choice to take a chance on. A book in the Ruins of Emblem series which is a spin-off from the Gentry Boys/Gentry Generations books, the author did an excellent job of making this a standalone, as I never felt I was missing out on anything in spite of characters carrying over from earlier books and/or series.

This was darker and more angsty than I expected based on what I’d heard about the Gentry Brothers series, especially the front half. The setup was interesting and the author had me engaged with the characters and the plot almost immediately. I was especially sympathetic towards Leah. Leah and Ryan had a complex relationship that evolved over the course of the story, and there was a TON of chemistry between them, whew! I loved the many different secondary characters adding depth to the story (including a few in the love to hate category); some were carryovers as I mentioned already and some I assumed to be new with this book.

While I usually like revenge story plot lines, I don’t like not liking a main character—one of the things I want most out of story (besides a hea), is to be cheering for the characters to get their hea—and though I felt bad for Ryan’s situation, there was a lot of time in the first half of the book where I didn’t like him very much (as the author intended). Since this was a new to me author, I wasn’t certain whether or not he’d be redeemed, and since I was so unsure about Ryan, the front half of the story dragged a bit for me. The second half was much more my taste; with a little more humor (though the author still had my heart breaking for both Ryan and Leah at times), and I loved the ending.

All in all, an emotional and engaging read that not only has me eager to get more from the citizens of Emblem, but to go back and read the Gentry stories as well. 4.5 stars

The Novel Reader

A Story of Redemption

Reviewed in the United States on 27 June 2019

Verified Purchase

This is book two in the "Ruins of Emblem" series and can be read as a standalone.

Jedson has blown back into town, armed with money, secrets and an agenda; topped off with a wicked chip on his shoulder and he's a ticking time bomb.

Leah has put her whole life on hold for the sake of her father, a father who can't be bothered by his daughter. Distraught over his life, Leah takes control but seemingly loses herself in the process.

When Jedson strolls into Leah's bar neither are prepared for their undeniable chemistry or their past mistakes. What starts out as harmless fun quickly turns into regret and revenge.

Ms. Brent did a fantastic job weaving complexity and heart within this story. This story is unlike most of her books. This is a bit on the darker side and quite twisty. The writing was eloquent and straightforward. The chemistry was on fire from the first meeting. As with all Ms. Brent's books, this is truly a story of redemption and overcoming one's past.

I have to admit I was a bit skeptical when starting this book because I love love love the Gentry boys and their stories so much and I was afraid I would feel like something was missing with them not being the main characters. GLADLY I was so wrong. I truly loved Jedson. Ryan and Leah are fabulous, each in their own way. Ryan has a lot to be bitter about. Lies twisted and told ruined his life for way too many years. His desire for revenge when he comes home to Emblem is completely understandable and honestly expected. No one would want the person who wrongfully accused them of a crime to just go about life like it was okay. But I could tell from the very beginning that Ryan was more than that. His desire for revenge did not out way his sense of loyalty to his town and his friend. His evolution from revenge seeking boy to successful business man is a joy to read.

Leah is stuck, or so it would seem. She had her chance to get out of Emblem and go to college but gave it up to come back and help run the family business while her dad hid away in his misery. She gave up everything for a family that never treated her with love or respect. So why do it? I don't even think she knew why until it hit her one day that she loved her families bar as much as her dad did. It's one of the few places she felt in control and appreciated. After years of obvious emotion and physical abuse by the hands of first her mother and then the emotional neglect by her father it was nice to see Leah maintain an strong and steadfast stance in her efforts to keep her family's business going strong.

Reading these two trying to figure each out out while both no knowing what the real truths were was an entertaining and enjoyable read that I would highly highly recommend.

Cora once again created characters that you can't help but love and root for from beginning to end.

Disappointing but an author worth exploring

Reviewed in the United States on 8 August 2019

Cora Brent is my favourite author and I will read (and already own) everything Gentry boys related. When the news of this book was released I was disappointed that it wasn’t Gentry focused but was willing to give it a chance because she is a good writer. This book was not Brent’s usual standards. The characters were forgettable and not particularly interesting. The story had some nice moments, it it was not up to her usual standards.

I was curious about pike and thought we could've gotten a little more info there like why he and Tristan are so close, why daisy took off and more info on her life especially since they were suddenly close in2chapters at the end.....no they weren't. I couldn't get into this book even a little i struggled to finish and i won't read another.
