Ruined: Tobias

Laurel Creek #3

by Hildie McQueen

What kind of a woman dumps a guy headed to war?

Twenty years later, ex-fiancés Tobias Hamilton and Tori Romano, are still at each other’s throats, flinging insults every time they meet. But the desire lurking beneath the surface always draws them together, even if it’s kicking and screaming.

When Tobias learns the devastating secret Tori has kept from him, he decides it’s time to shine the light on the painful secrets of the past.

The truth can set a man free, but it may drive him and Tori apart for good.

I read this book overnight. Seriously, I started it before I went to bed, woke around 3AM and read until I finished it. I've reallllllly enjoyed this series and Ruined: Tobias is my favorite. I'm a sucker for second chances. And this was a painfully, angst, fighting the past, and current emotions second chance story. This could be read as a standalone, but DON'T cheat yourself. Read the series in order!
Awesome characters in the entire series, and I could see a couple of more stories that could be written to add to Laurel Creek series.

Ruined

Wow, I knew Tori and Tobias had baggage from their interactions in the previous books but not this much. Their story was heartbreaking and watching them struggle was difficult. Thin line between love and hate is right. Theirs isn't the only story unfolding though. Although I don't want it to end I can't wait for the final book.

A great read

Tobias and Tori had hurt each other. Both was angry and mad and full if ccx regret but not wanting to face it. Thus series has been a pure enjoyment to read. Mrs. McQueen is a amazing Authire who write wonderful emotional stories that pull at your heart. I cant wait to read more of her books

Heart break to no more heart ache

He can't ever find a love like he lost. She holds onto a big secret for over 20 years. Can they find their way back to love?
Great storyline with good characters and lots of love every which way.

A story filled with love and engaging characters. I love the Laurel Creek series and look forward to new releases about this Montana town and a chance to go back and visit with old friends.
Enjoyable read.
