Ruin by C.J. Scott3.5 StarsThe story starts off as the main character Kate, a college student, comes back to her hometown of Winter, for the summer. She hates the small, dying town where she grew up and only comes back because her parents guilt her into it. Things start looking up, when a sexy "stranger" comes to town, she decides immediately to befriend him. Only her feelings for him develop rather rapidly and in a very short time.  When I say short time, I mean short as in hours.  This development in the story seems so rushed and made the storyline unbelievable to me.  They fall into bed and in love so it seems.  He tries to push her away immediately, because he says he is not right for her and she starts to think he is keeping secrets.  It turns out secrets are in fact being kept and they eventually come to light making her "stranger" not so much a stranger to her or her town.  Other then the relationship that formed so quickly and not being very believable the premise of the book was good but just could have been developed a bit more, therefore making the book a bit longer as well.  It was an ok read for me.
