The dying man knows Ruin is there to kill him, but he asks Father Time\u2019s son to look after his twin sister. Ruin can\u2019t stay away from the sweet and sensual Phoebe. His previous interactions with women changed the definition of his name, Ruin, so he can\u2019t fall for her, especially when the lovely mortal doesn\u2019t know he killed her brother.<\/p>\n<p>Phoebe\u2019s brother promised to send her a guardian angel, but Ruin seems too devilish to be holy. He only wants to be friends and keep watch over her, but she can\u2019t resist him. Loving Ruin is a sin tempting her heart. How wrong is it to cause an angel\u2019s fall? Ruin and Phoebe\u2019s time is running out as another New Year\u2019s Eve sacrifice approaches, and Ruin might lose everything for keeping his true hand in fate secret.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][et_pb_text _builder_version=&#8221;4.7.4&#8243; hover_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243; sticky_enabled=&#8221;0&#8243;]<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong>Out of Print<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; column_structure=&#8221;1_3,1_3,1_3&#8243;][et_pb_column type=&#8221;1_3&#8243; _builder_version=&#8221;3.25&#8243; custom_padding=&#8221;|||&#8221; custom_padding__hover=&#8221;|||&#8221;][et_pb_testimonial author=&#8221;Em Shotwell&#8221; job_title=&#8221;author, Blackbird Summer&#8221; admin_label=&#8221;Testimonial &#8211; Em&#8221; _builder_version=&#8221;3.2&#8243; background_size=&#8221;initial&#8221; background_position=&#8221;top_left&#8221; background_repeat=&#8221;repeat&#8221; use_border_color=&#8221;off&#8221; border_color=&#8221;#ffffff&#8221; border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221;]&#8221;This new series by romance author Wendy Sparrows is a must read for anyone who is looking for something new in their swoony yet sweet romance. The Servants of Fate trilogy can be read as stand alones or enjoyed together. Personally, I suggest the latter. Father Time\u2019s sons make for unusual (but definitely in the good way) leading men, who you will love to love. Sparrow has a knack for weaving stories that take familiar tropes, and mixing them with quirky characters to create a tale that is refreshing and new.
