She’s a beacon of hope against a powerful queen. He’d steal the sun to save his people. Jasper's mission to overthrow a tyrant king in the south hinges on one finding a woman of superior royal lineage to use as bait. Reina, the spirited fourth princess of Fynren, fits the bill. He knows he shouldn’t take her, that her fiery defiance is going to make his life a living hell, but something about her draws him in and won’t let go. Reina thinks a storm dragon blasting open the back of the palace is the worst thing that could’ve happened on the eve of her rebellion’s biggest move—until, that is, she wakes on a slave boat, leagues from home, bound by enchanted copper that restricts her magic. Jasper, her infuriatingly charming captor, promises not to hurt her despite his plans to sell her to a wretched king like a prized sow. When a shipwreck strands them on a remote island chain, Reina and Jasper must depend on one another for survival. As their defensive layers come down, Reina discovers her captor might not be as vile as she once thought. But with a kingdom to reclaim and an evil queen to overthrow, she must weigh her growing attraction against her duty. Can she trust the man she once despised, or is their romance a distraction in their fight for freedom? For fans of Rebecca Yarros, Carissa Broadbent, and Sarah J Maas. The Princesses of Ruin is a four-part, standalone series set in a magic-based world with Victorian era vibes, possessive men, powerful princesses, and the demons they have to fight to survive in their grim kingdom.

AMAZING continuation of the PoR series
Someday Ember might write a book I don’t love, today is definitely not that day though. I absolutely LOVED Ruthless Scoundrel.
To be totally honest, I wasn’t sure if I was going to love Reina as much as I love her sisters. Going into this one, I really expected much more immature behavior and while Reina was a bit of a brat, I didn’t find myself annoyed with her at all. Unsurprisingly, I loved Jasper right away. The way he was so quick to care for her and was so protective of her, while wanting her to learn how to thrive on her own two feet had me swooning all over the place.
I’m pretty sure I highlighted over half the book by the end, but that’s just par for the course for me and this series.
Cannot wait for book 5! This series remains in the very top of my favorites list this year and I will always recommend it when I get the chance.
