Review: There is a cliffhanger! The banter between Ethan and Chloe is so worth the read though!

Note: I received a free e-copy of this book for my honest feedback.Tracy Wolff has a way of withholding information without being overly annoying that made me want to continue reading. With that being said, Ruined by Tracy Wolff is definitely a page turner.I personally wouldn’t consider Ruined a Fifty Shades sort of book. Yes, Ethan Frost is the owner of a large corporate company. Yes, Chloe is still a college student. And yes, they have not so happy pasts. However, there’s no major emphasis on control in or out of the bedroom. In fact, Chloe is quite skeptical about being in a controlling relationship due to her past. Overall, Ethan just wants to take care of Chloe in every way he possibly can.My favorite part of the novel was the banter between Ethan and Chloe. From Chapter 1, their interaction was so fun. Plus the argument over that blender! It seems like such a petty thing to be arguing over, and yet it holds so much significance. Considering that Chloe thought it was such an over-the-top, expensive gift, I wonder how much was spent on postage/man-labor just mailing it back and forth.*Possible Spoiler*There is a cliffhanger at the end (suggesting a sequel…). In the epilogue, Ethan’s secret is revealed (although, it was predictable), but the aftermath of the reveal isn’t known. The story just ended, which makes me seriously want the next book! Plus I’d love to see more of Chloe and Ethan overall.*End Possible Spoiler*One downside was that everything did feel a bit rushed once they decided to be together. Drama happens, big secrets are revealed, things heat up physically, and it’s not all roses for Ethan and Chloe. In fact, I think Ethan was quite the jerk in one of the ending scenes even though his intentions were for good.
