She’s on the run from a horrible past.
He’s got an offer of a lifetime.
RONIN
Rook Walsh appeared out of nowhere like a dark angel sent to steal my soul. And I could just tell that she was broken, and beaten, and scared.
So I made her an offer of a lifetime. She needed a job and I needed a certain ‘type’ of girl for a modeling contract worth millions of dollars called Tragic.
I was warned to … needed a certain ‘type’ of girl for a modeling contract worth millions of dollars called Tragic.
I was warned to keep my hands to myself.
I was warned not to get involved.
I was warned not to ruin her.
(The way I ruined the last one)
But I don’t take orders—I give them.
ROOK
Ronin Flynn appeared out of nowhere like a bright light in my heavy darkness. And when he offered me a job, and money, and a fantasy roof-top apartment I wanted to believe that he was good, and fair, and honest.
But I’d been tricked by a pretty face before.
I’d fallen for the knight once—and lost everything.
This was my chance to start over.
This was my chance to escape and be free.
And this was my chance to do it all by myself.
I don’t need a knight.
I don’t want to be saved.
But sometimes you find yourself trapped inside the fairy tale and no matter how hard you try, nothing you do can stop the trainwreck coming.
Tragic is book one of the Rook & Ronin Series and features a runaway girl who falls into a million-dollar dream of cherry trees and roof-top swings. A bad boy with a sketchy history of breaking pretty girls. And a job called Tragic that might ruin everything.

Not sure why I waited this long to listen. As always, JA Huss totally delivered. The chemistry between Rook & Ronin is off the charts! I adored them both. Erin Mallon & Jason Clarke were awesome as narrators! Off to start Manic right now.
Rook Walsh is TRAGIC

I read all three of these books in this series Tragic, Manic, Panic. What a fantastic read, I loved all of them. The characters …
This book is known as the beginning of the JA Huss adventure, which I seemed to jump on backwards by reading the Misters, other standalones, and then Creeping Beautiful. And so, this is my journey to the beginning.
That was…addicting. I barely blinked while reading. While I wanted to get up and do other things, I couldn’t step away from this …

I really like the beginning of Rook and Ronin’s story. It really dove deep in who Rook and Ronin were and why the are way they are. A lot of past insight. It’s very well written.

I haven’t read this book in almost 3 years.
And I don’t know why I’ve waited so long to revisit this world. Gah, Rook and Ronin started everything for me. And I do mean every-freaking-thing.
I don’t know if I can fully explain how happy it makes me to be back in this world, with these characters. I am going to spend a bit of time in Fort Collins …
Wow! So after reading Five and The Misters I just had to reread, well actually I listened to the audio for the first time, from where it all began, Tragic.
I can’t believe I didn’t review these when I first read them back in 2013. *shrugs* I probably was in too much of a hurry to read Manic lol.
I love this series, these characters, this whole …. …
This was a decent book. Not one of my favorites but I like “The Company series”. It held my attention and I was still glad I got it.
I almost didn’t pick up this book. It goes to show that you should never judge a book by its cover (I like the new cover now). I am so glad that I gave this book a chance. I loved that the story was so different than what I’ve read. Let me tell you what I loved about this book. Rook-Even though her life basically sucked, she took a chance. She …
