Beautifully Done did no only rip my heart out but it tore it to shreds over and over again.This is a story of loss, love, trust, faith and most of all, living. We get one life in this world. One chance to make each minute the best it can be. There are no do overs. No going back and changing the past. The best thing we can do for ourselves and those around us is take chances and live.  Almost twenty years ago, choices were made that altered the lives of four best friends forever.If you have read Beautifully Awake then you have read Chase's story when he found the love of his life Lili. We also learned of the heartbreak everyone went through after his twin sister Kimi suffered a traumatic accident that eventually cost her her life. Now it's time for Asher and Talia's story.Asher Craig is a man who has dealt with his share of battles in his past. He is a man who knows there are no guarantees in life and no one is promised more than what they are living right now. So he has one motto: To live life day by day, no promises of tomorrow, no thought of a future. The string of willing women, big expensive toys, and more money than god proves that he is doing just that...or so he thought.  That is until Talia Prynce walks back into his life. Talia. The "T" in T.A.C.K. She is the girl he spent his teen years secretly pining over, she was the girl who left him and every one else behind after the death of Kimi, their best friend. She was never seen or heard from again until almost twenty years later. Talia thought she could run from her old life. Thought she was protecting those she loved by leaving and never looking back. She has moved on and created a wonderful life for herself, but one thing that has never changed, is her love for one of her best friends. Asher has always owned a part of her that she never thought she would get back...until she sees him again.When life gives you a second chance at love, at life, you take it. And that's exactly what Asher and Talia did. From the moment they laid eyes on each other again you could feel their intense connection. The love they had for one another was absolutely beautiful. I loved that this story was told in Asher's POV. Talia's past is revealed and her reason for leaving is brought to light, threatening to tear them apart once again.The revelations in Beautifully Done are heart wrenching and will play with your emotions over and over again. There is so much I could say about this book because there are so many levels of story line but, for me, I'm glad I knew very little about it because experiencing it chapter for chapter was amazing.
