5.0 out of 5 stars A love story like you've never read, and one you'll love as much as I
Reviewed in the United States on June 9, 2015

Kayne and Ellie pulled me in with the cupcake scene in Owned and owned ME. When Ellie took what she wanted from Kayne in Claimed, my heart was full to bursting. Ruined? OMG
And let me back up. Jett stole my heart in Owned as well. I might love him more than Kayne. In Claimed, he continued his friendship with Ellie, but ... more. Oh, how I thought I couldn't want him more, even though *he* was Claimed by London. Ruined? Just wow. Wow.
Ruined isn't an epilogue about Kayne and Ellie, though it's an epilogue about Kayne and Ellie (and I'll explain). We get to see the relationship between Jett and London and Kayne and Ellie, and exactly how they are *family*. It's not just naughty. It's a love of one another deeper than most friends have. They've lived through so much together, do so much together, and they've truly become a familial unit. And I love it. There's nothing more beautiful than that kind of deep friendship.
Kayne and Ellie's love is so amazingly beautiful. They are able to sense each other's moods and know when it's time to do something *more* to help one another. Their sexual relationship is still naughty - not just kinky, but it's still as hot, sexy, KINKY, amazingly D/s and the same experimentally dark as it's always been. However, it's also still full of love. Kayne ruined Ellie for any other man in every single way. No other will love her the way he will. The wonderful thing is that Ellie has done the same to Kayne, and it makes him happier than he could ever admit.
This book is a wonderful epilogue to the other two books. I refuse to say it's any kind of ending to their story. While it may say and portray that it is, I have no doubt they will appear in future stories; and by that, I not only mean future books, but books set farther into the future. I personally think MNever loves these two characters too much to let them go.
I don't want to through the story line too much so that I don't give away any spoilers. Kayne and Ellie make a couple of huge decisions. Jett and London are there through everything. Ellie helps her husband through a life-changing event. Kayne and Ellie ... well, they are perfect.
My only wish is that she was Owned by Him and he was Claimed by Her. But that's a personal preference, and one you'll only understand if you read the book. WHICH IS A MUST! This series starts out dark, but it's a MUST READ. Go through all of it so that you can see the beauty of the love between them - Kayne and Ellie, and then the whole family. You won't regret it.

The finale to the Decadence After Dark series, a very satisfying ending to this series. Once again it is smoking hot and well done. Will Kanye and Ellie have children? What will happen to thier relationship if they do? Can Kayne deal with his past in order to move foward with his future? Jett and London, now married with kids help move the story along and also have some fun along the way. I almost feel that these two couples should just buy a big mansion and move in together, and oh how hot that would be! Yikes, I take that back, the house might burn down!

Owned-Claimed-Ruined: Let me start off by saying this was one of the most cohesive series I have read in a long time. Yes, this is dark erotica! I don’t know how to review them separately because I can’t detach the story now that I have read the whole thing. I went on such an emotional ride with these people that there is no #1, #2, and #3. It is all one world….one amazing, fabulous, stressful, crazy, sad, wonderful world! Ellie and Kayne’s journey was epic. Nothing short. Yes the sex was amazing, and the content dark and ruthless at times, but as the reader continues on with the story, they get to witness the transformation of these characters from something borderline horrid to beyond beautiful. Nothing was rushed, the brutality of book one was complex but always digestible and never hopeless. Ellie’s pain was gut wrenching, but Kayne’s torment seemed worse. He was his own worst enemy emotionally. The author never gave a reason to give up on either of them. Was Kayne a selfish bastard? Yes! Definitely! But they need love too. There is always a reason. In book two, Ellie’s ability to own what happened to her, to understand it, says everything about her strength. She demanded resolution, for both of them, and got it! I had to completely detach from their ages because that was the only thing that required super-suspended disbelief reading powers. But that is typical these days. Highly recommended!

I loved, loved this series. I am so glad I found you as an author (thanks Amazon/Kindle). I purchased all 5 books and read through them like wildfire. Kayne, Jett, Ellie, London and the rest became beloved and ultimately, became family. Even Alistair...yes, I think you should continue exploring their next chapters and backstory...maybe even Sasha's (that was a surprise!). I am just not ready to let them go. I'm not going to summarize these stories for other readers. I will just say there was intrigue, drama, erotic heat, and HEA. Very well done.....jfk

This is one of my favorite covers from the series. This installment is shorter then the previous two but it's emotionally charged. There's no secret I loved these characters. I love the naughtiness of Kayne and Ellie. Holly Hell and the time with Jett was simply Hot. Drool!
Hot, sexy and definitely naughty. I do recommend you read the others before you read this one so you can understand the dynamics of the characters.
A wonderful ending to their family.
Happy reading!

Thank you, thank you, Thank you M. Never for this delicious, delectable epilogue of Kayne and Ellie.
God this is one sexy read and I am sad to see it end , I read it within an hour this morning and didn't leave for work until I had finished it. M has continued to surpass herself with each novel but this takes you to an all time high. My heart beat has just about returned to a normal rate, god Kayne is without doubt the dirtiest men I've had the pleasure to read, now that's a man who knows how to take charge.

I loved seeing how Ellie has turned into a confident women who has grown so much since the first novel.

When ever I am listening to Royal blood in my car and "Out of the Black" comes on I instantly think of Kayne and Ellie and how I came across that first book cover with the cup cake on it.
I am proud to say I have been #owned #claimed and now I am completely and utterly #ruined.
