"Ruined" by Tracy Wolff was an incredible read and after days of pondering how to right this review I am still not sure if i will do it justice ,but here it goes!The writing was great,I was drawn to the characters and they came to life for me, I was drawn into there stories and felt for each one of them Chloe and Ethan's story so far has left me ruined, wondering when the next book will be available.Chloe Girard is young college student excited to start her first day at Frost Industries in their legal department as an intern , this is her dream position and her dream company. Frost industries is foremost in biomedical market place and one of the greenest companies and, employee friendly .Chloe dresses to impress nice suit and a pair of sky high Louis Vittons ( a gift from her roommate) and she s now paying for it , her feet are killing her after having the grand tour of the complex and now all she wants is a smoothie for lunch but the smoothie guy is arguing with her, after some pretty funny banter back and forth and posturing , with the cute surfer guy with the intense blue eyes. She finally gets her smoothie and gets back to work. Later when she gets back home package is waiting for her a smoothie machine and fresh organic strawberries along with a card, on it a hand written phone number and Ethan Frost name on the card. A stunned Chloe starts putting two and two together that the surfer guy behind the smoothie counter was none other than the CEO of Frost industries and she argued ith him on her first day.Chloe as an intern can not accept a gift of a smoothie maker , never mind it is from the ceo is only worse so determined to return it she brings it to work and Ethan's offices the next day which leads to another confrantation , an injury, and a very sexually charged scene between Ethan and Chloe in the securty office,to add more stress to her second day she is the late to a meeting , and ushered in by Ethan which just sets her up as a target with the other interns. Chloe is determined to be a success on her own two feet , stay away from Ethan but each encounter with him breaks her resolve down ; it Chloe's past makes it hard for her to trust to feel safe but Ethan is strong charming and commanding enough to break down her walls and provide that feeling of security , till his trip to the east coast for business ,he talks and texts her all along, but suddenly stops,she chalks it up to meetings etc... But when he does not show for their pre-scheduled date she worries even more and goes to his house; she finds Ethan beaten and pushing her away.Chloe's world is falling down around her again.Cliff hanger ending that rips your heart out, it's like a freight train,you see it coming , you know were it is going, you know it is not going to be good and it is a game changer but you can not get out of the way, you can not put this book down,it runs you over and leaves you Ruined and waiting!
