Wowza. A Graceful Mess was amazeballs. It had it all. Everything. In spades.A smokin hot book boy? ☑Well developed loveable characters? ☑Sexy times that rocked my world? ☑Multi-layered angst and heartache? ☑Moments that made me laugh? ☑Times I needed tissues to wipe up my ugly messy crying? ☑This book had me by the balls, ok ok, I don’t have balls but if I did, A Graceful Mess would have had a hold on them the whole way through.~ Sometimes you don’t know how broken you once were, until you finally feel whole. ~23 year old Grace is smart, quiet and shy. A homebody. She loves reading raunchy romance (who doesnt  !) she feels like a misfit in her family, has skeletons in her closet and keeps her cards close to her chest. She’s been broken and I desperately wanted to know who broke her, how and why. I wanted to find that person and smash them to smithereens. Grace is the type of girl that would be easy to know and love. Things aren’t easy for Grace as she’s hit with box after box from her past. The Grace on the last page was such a contrast to the Grace we met at the start.~ I think for the first time since I was eighteen, I have finally felt alive. I think Parker brought me back to life, and the scary part is that the version of me that was awakened isn’t a Grace anyone knows, but the Grace that has been buried deep within me. His touch unleashed her, and there is no going back now.~Parker is so dreamy. So romantic. So hot. An adonis in the bedroom, and so in love. He writes letters (although they aren’t always good ones!), he makes sure she’s safe and he wants to take the shadows from her eyes and make her smile. He also has secrets of his own and that doesn’t make for smooth sailing.~ His breath so close to me is hot and feels like heaven, and then I feel his tongue. It keeps a steady movement, almost as if it is creating its own special melody and is conducting an orchestra. The sweet, sweet music his tongue is playing makes me want to clap my hands like a pleased crowd would.~This story told in dual pov took me on such a journey. So much happened throughout these pages. I was constantly on the edge of my seat trying to predict what was going to happen next. I was either laughing, horny or crying.“You’re going to be my undoing, unraveling me piece by piece,”We had family secrets, betrayal, life & death, beautiful friendship, sexy times that blew my mind. It was a beautiful story that I adored from start to finish. Bravo Ms Stayton ❤If I learned anything from my past, it was that the moments that should have defeated you sometimes fuel you to move forward. I will not backtrack. Not now, not ever. ~ Grace
