I absolutely adored Grace and Parker’s story. It was sweet, sexy, and heartfelt. Quiet and shy Grace has just finished college. She has a past that has stopped her from truly living. Although she has moved on from that past, she can never feel true happiness. Enter Parker Porter. He changes everything. He makes her feels things she never thought she would. He is the reason her life is turned upside down. I will not mention the circumstance as to which they meet, as I think it is an important part of the story. This story is full of life lessons, lies, betrayal, but above all things, love.The story is told in dual POV. I loved that we were able to get a glimpse into the minds of both Grace and Parker. The author did a good job at this, as the story had a nice flow to it which made it an enjoyable read. A Graceful Mess is also full of suspense. Once you learn the connection between Grace and Parker, you will ask yourself, how is this going to work out without hearts being shattered?! But you learn through their characters that love knows no boundaries.Parker. Sweet, adorable Parker. He is thoughtful, loving, and completely swoon worthy. The connection between Grace and Parker was undeniable. I felt it the moment I realized they were going to meet. There are such tender sweet moments between these two! Talk about good romance! There’s also some sexy scenes that will have you fanning yourself. I felt like there was a good balance of romance and story in this book. Some books, do too much or too little of the other, but A Graceful Mess is sure to have you reading to find out more. I had a hard time putting it down. I needed to know the rest of their story.Overall, I truly enjoyed this book. I loved that the author tied everything up at the end. It was the perfecting ending to a heartfelt book. While there are hearts and flowers, there is also betrayal and heartbreak in this story. You will feel for Grace and Parker. But, love is amazing. This book illustrates that love can save us, even when we think it’s not possible. I look forward to more of this authors work.
