Northridge Elites #1
His To Ruin
Amelia Perkins
When I was twelve, I thought I’d marry Lennox James.
Then, we fell apart, and my father and I moved.
I never expected to return to Northridge.
When every university shunned me, I had no choice. Someone wanted me back there.
On my first day, I ran into Lennox.
He hates me, and he’s determined to bring me down.
His two friends join him in his revenge bullying.
Lennox doesn’t know what I’ve been through.
He doesn’t know that I’ll fight back just as hard.
Somewhere in the midst of our fighting, we’ve turned to lust.
Cain stalks me.
Lennox bullies me.
Wolf is cold and calculating.
And I want them all.

If you like a lot smut, then this is it. It gets right to it. I do wish there was a little more backstory, but the smut scenes are 👍🏼 can’t wait for the next book because the cliffhanger at the end 👀👀👀👀 lots of TW at the beginning

ASHLEY WHY?! What a cliffhanger! I finished this book in 24 hours. Lennox, Cain, AND Wolf? 🥵🌶️ I think Cain is my favorite tho…. 🤫 I couldn’t put this down. I am hooked & will be impatiently waiting for book 2!

Holy mother of something… this book is a head fuck that sucks you in & you can’t escape until you finish.
I’m usually a more smut the better type woman but with the little plot we had it made me want more because it was so good.
The cliffhanger ending has me dying for the 2nd book!
If you love pure smut then read this!!
I also read this in one sitting. It’s a complete smutty page turner!!

Came across this book on a Facebook group and I was intrigued. Holy Hell I was sucked right in. It’s a quick read but spicy 🌶️ and make sure you read the TW’s this book is not tame.
Can’t wait for book 2.

Dark REVENGE romance! And when you think of revenge add 1000x times the gut punch you felt on the receiving end. The plot really had you bitting you nails and shaking your leg turning the pages!! And the cliff hanger at the end had you SCREAMING 😱! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

This book has been such a mind fuck. Some good parts though. Very spicy but so confusing. 😵💫😵💫
March 28, 2024
Call me crazy - but I loved the plot. 🤣 I know it was written more for the smut. But this definitely would have been a 5 star if there were a smidge more. But that freaking cliff hanger?!?!?!? 😳😳😳😳😳🤨🤨🤨

Heyy
Very great book and turn around. I need to find number 2. Didn't think the ending was going to end that way.

The writing was juvenile, the plot made no sense and the entire book was riddled with typographical errors that even a quick review should have caught. I finished the book hoping that it would all make sense in the end but I was left disappointed.
Some people can write a spicy scene. Some people can write a book. I’ve found that often, these are not the same people.

love me a good reverse harem but literally what was this??? first of all the ending??? this series is a duet & im really not sure if i want to continue reading because miscommunication has to be one of my biggest pet peeves when reading & it was so bad in this book. i was just screaming the entire time “GIRL IF YOU DONT JUST COME CLEAN AND TELL HIM WHAT HAPPENED TO YOU”. back to the ending, literally what the fuck is wrong with her?? it ends on such a bizarre cliffhanger & i swear no one could predict some bullshit like this 😭😭😭 as stated on the first page of the book, it’s literally just smut. this book is 98% smut with a tad bit of a terrible plot line.

DNF 15%
No me gustó nada y escribo esto para no volver a leerlo en el futuro. Suelo olvidarme y después me vuelvo a comer el mal gusto de releerlo.
No me gusta cómo está narrado: todo pasa demasiado rápido, no hay contexto. Uno de los MC odia a la FMC y ese odio dura un segundo. Me gusta el insta love, pero esto es un mamarracho.
Encima, la protagonista no tiene personalidad. Se droga, tiene tatuajes y se inyecta los labios, como si eso automáticamente la volviera “mala”.
Odié el libro. Fue una pérdida de mi valioso tiempo.

OMG!!!! so i absolutely dove into this book. it drew me in with the dedication alone. I saw the author post on TikTok about it and I absolutely had to read it! I read it all in one sitting. Had my thighs crying!!! Cain is 🤌🏻 I can’t wait to read the next book! Thank you so much Ashley for such a good book!😍

First, holy shit that ending.
Second, DOUBLE check those trigger warnings.
I need the second book stat.
I need to know how Cain was drugged. I need to know why Daddy dearest pimped Amelia out, and I need to know why Daddy James has anything to do with it all. Also, obtaining stepmom status was fucking brilliant.

IT’S FINALLY OVER!! Or is it?
Idk man, this wasn’t for me. The smut was okay, the plot had problems, the ending blew my mind but not in a good way. More of a “oh you’re joking, what is happening NOW” kind of way.
I might read the second part, I might just google it. I might forget in a week. It’s been fun, Feisty Four. ✌️

Holy crap…this book put me through the RINGER. I was given the honor of being able to get a reviewer copy of this book and I’ve fallen in love with the book. Reading about Amelia and the guys made me want to sit them down and have them just TALK to each other. And the 🌶️? 🥵 so hot. Also that ENDING?!
March 24, 2024
I need the second book now!!
Was it the best writing I’ve ever read? No. But did I thoroughly enjoy this smutty ass story? Absolutely! It was fast paced and interesting and I bloody loved it. The ending was amazing and now I CRAVE more!!

Absolutely phenomenal. Den of Vipers vibe. The ending pissed me off, and had me craving more as well. It’s filled with smut. Definitely read!

This is one of the best shorter books I have ever read. There's so much plot to it, while also being absolutely spicy and dark. I don't have enough adjectives to praise this book enough. That ending though.....
August 17, 2024
Poor writing, no character development, very monotone. I was expecting a lot more based on previous reviews but ended up being very disappointed.
December 6, 2023
Wow. Dark romance so read the trigger warnings but so good if you’re into dark romance. I couldn’t put it down and I need book 2 to release ASAP!
January 15, 2024
So apparently when I started reading this, I signed up to be Ashley's to ruin. She had me hooked and I swear to the gods that when I read the last page I heard the earth shatter around me. Be prepared to be heart broken and hooked. I cannot wait for the second!

What the actual fuck 😂
What the actual fuck 😂
I LOVED EVERY SECOND until the cliffhanger at the end. Can’t wait for book 2!!!!

I just couldn’t get into this book with all of the typographical errors. The writing just wasn’t for me either. I was really hoping to love it because the backstory made the story start out great. It just went downhill from there.
