The characters, the plot, the BANTER, the prose... everything was *chef's kiss*. 5 stars for the SPICE. Holy hades, it had me SWEATING. 5 stars for the plot. Clean, neat, and beautifully executed. 5 stars for the characters--relatable, loveable, and a pair to root for. And 5 stars because I'll return to this book again and again.

Ruinous Desires delivers on everything I was salivating for! Arya is a litigation attorney who takes on a client with dark dealings... Levi is a spy who blackmails her for information on her client, only to fall for her. It's tense, it's high-stakes, it's action-packed, and it's HOT!! The spicy scenes had me sweating. Also, those plot twists... amazing.
