4.25 out of 5 starsHave you ever sat and contemplated your life and how every decision you made impacted the events? When you truly stop and look back each of us has things that we regret and wish we could take back and moments that we wouldn't change for all the money in the world.  Precious Consequences is an outstanding story about life and the choices that are made.Hayley Tanner is a 19 year old single mother that lives in hiding with her grandma. After some flashbacks and history, you understand what has kept her living in the shadows and away from prying eyes.  Her daughter, Arianna, is the reason she lives and breathes.  I love the relationship that Hayley has with Ari. It so perfectly describes a mothers love for their child.  As a mom, I can understand Hayley's motives and desire to protect Her child at all costs, even if it will destroy Hayley emotionally.  I can't explain to you how much I love these characters.  They are so amazingly well written.Cameron Argent is broken in his own way. He is struggling to live his life in happiness because of the consequences of his actions years earlier.  He puts on a good show for others, but deep down his guilt and remorse for mistakes he's made are eating him away a little bit each day.  When he first meets Hayley there is instant attraction.  While Cam is looking for an easy lay, Hayley has responsibilities that Cam can't even fathom.  Hayley's fear about being judged because of Ari and her desire to protect her are noble, but what will happen when Cameron learns the truth?I love the intertwining of characters in this book. Although it is told from alternating POV of Hayley and Cam, I think the reader can see multiple stories playing out in the pages; not only the love, turmoil and relationship of Cam and Hayley but also the choices their friends make.  Hannah, Taylor and Noah, Cam and Hayley's friends, all make good and bad choices and as you are reading you can also see the consequences of their actions.  You also see motives behind what others do to people.  While it can never justify their actions, sometimes it's nice to at least understand why people do the things they do.This was the first book by Tamsyn Bester that I have had the pleasure of reading.  I look forward to reading many more!  She is a fantastic author and knows exactly how to pull you into a story from the Prologue!  I can't wait until the release of her next book, Destined To Fall in January!  I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review.  I am, however, happy to report that you can purchase this book for only .99!!  That is an amazing buy for this book. I highly recommend that you one click it today!!
