About this listen
From USA Today and Wall Street Journal best-selling author L A Cotton comes an emotional enemies-to-lovers romance.
Angst...drama...friendship...and football. Will you survive senior year?
Ashleigh Chase has always had big dreams.
But when she wakes up in hospital with no memory of how she got there, her bright future dissolves around her.
Ezra Bennet has always felt like the odd one out.
But this time, he really screwed up and he has no choice but to face the consequences.
Forced to retake their senior year, Ashleigh turns to Ezra only to find him cold and cruel and determined to keep her at arm's length.
He's the guy she always wanted.
She's the girl who was never good enough for him.
But now there's a secret between them, one that she's determined to uncover.
She thinks she can save him. But she doesn't realize yet....
He's the one who ruined her.

Unite forces to repair the damage caused by Miley’s exposé on the team and help her finish her college application. He’s everything she despises. She’s everything he’s supposed to hate.

Story
Pine River was supposed to be a new start for me. And it was, especially attending school with my three overprotective cousins, who were the triplets at the top of the social hierarchy. Except they weren’t alone there, and the first day when I came to school, I saw him. Scout Raiden. Tall. Lean. Tattooed. Mesmerizing. He was a golden god with dark and piercing eyes—looking like he wanted to eat me up. The feeling was mutual, and that was a problem.

Hockey with benefits. That was what Mara proposed, and I was down. She said no feelings, and she meant it. Just benefits. No strings attached. Nothing else. Not even friendship. College was her escape, including us. I didn't have time for a girlfriend. I had classes, the team, my family, and the game. It was all working too.... Until somewhere down the line, things got messy. Until somehow we were dealing with threats, secrets, rivals, and so much more. Until I began to want her in ways that weren't part of the deal. Our agreement didn't just get checked into the wall, it got obliterated.

From a young age, the only thing in life I've ever taken seriously is hockey. I'm not the guy anyone—besides family and teammates—can count on. This is all true. At least, until a certain curly-haired, blue-eyed goddess comes to me looking for an easy hookup. And hook her up I do. But what's supposed to be a one-night stand doesn't stop at one night. What's meant to be easy sure as hell gets complicated fast. It becomes clear that Addison LaConte is just as much my savior as she is my demise.

Dane Wade is a breath of fresh air. Sexy, charming, and with abs that could melt any woman’s panties. With my rules and boundaries in place, he is the perfect person to have fun with to pass the time. As long as he knows it will never amount to anything more. Which he does…I think. But then boundaries get shattered. Lines get blurred. I know it’s time to bolt before things get harder, and I risk falling deeper. Running away is the only thing I know how to do. And, in my twenty years on this earth, it’s worked for me.

I crawled into Ryan Jensen’s bed that first night by accident. I barely knew him. I thought it was his sister’s bed - her room. It took seconds to realize my error, and I should've left... I didn’t. I didn’t jump out. I didn’t get embarrassed. I relaxed. And that night, in that moment, it was the only thing I craved. I asked to stay. He let me, and I slept. The truth? I never wanted to leave his bed. If I could've stayed forever, I would have. He became my sanctuary. Because - four hours earlier - my twin sister killed herself.

I'm temporarily raising my little brother - since apparently our actual mother doesn't give a crap about either of us. And I always end up as nothing but the temporary girlfriend - the flavor of the week for every guy who's heard the rumor that I give it up so easily.

I think for sure it must've been a dream because there's no way a guy could look like that, touch me like that, and be so in tune with me on every known level and disappear, leaving me with nothing but a good story to tell my friends. When he walks into my bar three months later, everything I thought I knew and what we'd had disappears in the blink of an eye and the blinding light of the three-carat diamond on his fiancee's hand.

I'm not your typical girl. I've been running away from the memories that haunt me for so long that depression has become my only comfort. I was content in the darkness...until Wes Michels offered to be my light. I didn't know that time wasn't my ally - that every second that ticked past was one step closer to the end of something that was beginning to mean the end of myself. He tried to warn me. He promised me all he was able to offer - each moment as it came - but it would never be enough.

Amazing book and performance.
I bow down to Jeffrey Holz and Heather Firth. Their performance brought the angst on full-force. The narration made this great book by LA Cotton incredible. I could feel the push and pull, the heartache and love… absolutely everything. This was such an amazing audiobook.

A hopeful read!
She has always had big dreams...
He has always felt like the odd one out...
I will start by saying I really enjoyed reading this book though it was not my favourite and I will admit that I was tad bit disappointed with this book.
I love reading this author and I was so hyped up about this book but it did not live up to its expectations.
The trauma our heroine faced was powerful and heartbreaking. I am glad that things were able to work out.
The story and writing was phenomenal.
I am really looking forward to the next book.
Full of angst, trauma, pain, memory, accidents, consequences and love.
Perfect for readers of contemporary romances.
The narrators did an absolutely beautiful job of giving life to these characters - powerful and emotional.

"You only know you love her when you let her go"
Emotional, frustrating and redeeming, Ruined Hopes is a rollercoaster of feels.
Filled with raw emotion, trauma and strength of overcoming, this story had me shedding multiple tears, raging at the characters to pull their act together and open their eyes, and happily sighing as the slow burn of this book finally sparked.
With so much angst, secrets and baggage, perfectly captured in Heather Firth and Jeffrey Holz narration, Ashleigh and Ezra's connection is tested again and again throughout this story, but with such complicated and deep characters, it's impossible not to root for their HEA.
5 stars and an anchor

Rixon High!
Ruined Hopes (Rixon High #3) is the next generation kids and I was excited to listen to Ashleigh Chase and Erza Bennet's romance. I love L.a. Cotton's writing style bringing vividly images and captivating moments. I was hooked from page one to the very end. Angsty moments intricately weaved into the pages. Character's are complex with compelling personalities. Chemistry, passion, secrets, and a whole lot more to love.
Dual narration brought to you by Heather Firth and Jeffrey Holz had brought out the story and characters to reality. Heather Firth's performance was unerring. Her inflection brought out Ashleigh's character and emotions. Her tone was age appropriate and smooth. Jeffery Holtz did great with Erza's character, however his female tone needs some work. I didn’t enjoy it. Heather had more parts, but both did great.
Excellent story and entertaining narration.

An Emotional Read!
I especially loved how Heather Firth and Jeffery Holz brought Ashleigh and Ezra to life. Their performance was simply phenomenal! Ashleigh and Ezras story was emotional and Inspirational! Their were times throughout the book I was in tears. I especially loved the slow build up of their relationship and how they both over came their own turmoil. I loved every minute of this story and was rooting for their happily-ever-after.

Ashleigh & Ezra
Alright, when I thought LA Cotton couldn’t bring any more emotion or angst to a series, she hits us with this one. This was such a beautiful story. Ashleigh was in a car accident at the end of senior year and has no memory of the last year. She is forced to redo her senior year of school while all her friends go off to college and she is left trying to figure out what was her life over the last year. Ezra holds the key to a lot of this information but he has been keeping his distance. Ashleigh doesn’t understand why Ezra is so distant, she thought they had something but instead is left watching him with other girls. All the emotion and angst was overwhelming but in the best way. I was crying, I was screaming at Ezra, it was so much!.
Will Ezra get past his issues and help Ashleigh make sense of everything? They have a hard fought HEA but it is beautiful once they get there. This was narrated by Heather Firth & Jeffrey Holz and they did such a great job with this book ! Their narration made this book even better than if I had read it!
