This series is just an emotional roller coaster. But I will say it's one roller coaster you don't want to get off of. I love the way T.K. Leigh pulls you into Alexander and Olivia's world and their intense relationship. Below are my reviews for each of the books in the story. You definitely want to pick up this amazing emotional box setBeautiful Mess:"A Beautiful Mess", the perfect title for this book. Indeed, this story is a beautiful mess full of angst, love, betrayal, secrets and lies. T.K. Leigh takes us on a crazy roller coaster with both of the main characters emotions. I have never read a romance book like this one. This romance book is full of action and suspense as well, it keeps the story very interesting and keeps the reader in the story. These two characters have lived a roller coaster life, and struggle through things from their past, a past that they don't know connect with one another. I kept reading to see if the truth would ever be revealed and they would realize how connected they really are with one another. But NOOO T.K. Leigh leaves us with a cliffhanger! We do get a sneak peak into the next book at the end of this one, but not enough to know what is going to happen. I cannot wait for the next book in this series, I am in love with Alexander and Olivia.A Tragic Wreck:I LOVED LOVED LOVED 'A Beautiful Mess' and am hooked on T.K. Leigh. After reading her first book I was a fan of her and COULD NOT wait for the next book. T.K. writing is phenomenal and captivating, it always leaves me wanting more, I just can't get enough. I am so happy that I was able to read an ARC copy of this book as I was just anxious for its released. This book surpassed my expectations and left me with one major book hangover! This book is so emotional and captivating that I just had to read it in one sitting.We begin this book right where the first book left off, with Olivia out in hiding in a small town in Florida. She is trying to push away these intense feelings that she is having for Alex by doing what she does best: running. Alex on the other hand is relentless and will NOT let her simply disappear, hunting her down until finally finding her. He fights with all he has to give trying to get her back and convince her to go back to Boston, to stop running from everything. Their story is one filled with angst, drama, danger, romance as Alex and Olivia continue to fight for their love of one another, against all odds.I LOVE Alex and Olivia, they have quickly turned into one of my favorite couples. When they are together. But when they are apart, they drive me crazy! They do so many things to try and hurt the other one, dumb, little, unnecessary things that keep them away from one another longer than they really should. Sometimes I want to scream at them, they are perfect for one another but they JUST DON'T REALIZE IT! T.K.'s style of writing pulls you into the story, not knowing what is going to be happening. She takes us on a major roller coaster filled with Love, Angst and so many moments of suspense. The way that T.K. writes makes you feel as if these two characters are real people and not just fictional characters.After reading this book, I just CANNOT wait for the third book. I think I may go a little crazy while waiting for it! This book is filled with suspense, and that suspense lasts until the very end. There are questions that we have been asking ourselves from the very first book, some that we are answered in the book, others we are still left without answers to and new questions. T.K. is quickly moving up on those best seller/ best author lists and I can see why! This series is a MUST read. One of those that you will stay up late into the night and early morning reading, unable to put down!Gorgeous Chaos:Wow!! What an ending to this series! We've met and fallen in love with Alex and Olivia starting off in Beautiful Mess and in A Tragic Wreck... We know their history, and everything that they've had to go through. My heart broke for these two throughout the first two books and even more in this one. One one hand you have Alex, who has found the love of his life and is determined to keep her safe even if it means keeping her past from her. Then we have Olivia, haunted by her past and trying to keep herself from getting hurt. But the connection and attraction between these two is just too intense to ignore and to keep them apart.I will say that throughout part of this book I wanted to scream at Olivia for being so stubborn and not listening to Alex when he tried to protect her. She hurt him and herself in the process many times. We are taken through this huge roller coaster of a ride as Olivia's past is presented to her and other secrets are uncovers. T.K. also throws these big bombshells and twists to the story that had me gasping and shocked.This is a great ending to this emotion filled series, filled with emotion and drama. The way that T.K. is able to make us FEEL the pain, the hurt, that these characters feel is amazing. I loved the ending and feel as if their story is finally complete. Now I can't wait to see what Cam's story brings us!!
