Samantha Matthews runs from her life, leaving it behind her with the help of her best fried Jennifer. After driving for seven long hours they stop at a bar in the middle of nowhere. Believing they’d put enough distance between them they stop running. Kade has lived a half life, traumatised from his past he’s afraid to let anyone in, never letting anyone close…until Sam.Samantha was an amazing character. So calm and collected when facing a storm. On the outside it looks like nothing fazes her but on the inside she’s screaming. Scared her past is going to catch up to her and hurt the ones she cares about. She is so strong and caring, speaks her mind and tries to do what’s best even if it’s not what she wants.Kade is a man with a horrific past, lone survive of a massacre, he’s stuck in a bad place. He may have survived but he is no longer the person he was. He’s dark and twisted. He doesn’t see things as normal people would. He’s devoid of emotion and prefers solitude. I wept for Kade a lot, the poor man. To have survived what he went through and feeling guilty for it would be torture. Hiding himself away from others because he believes it’s best for them, who can live like that? I loved Kade, he may be damaged but underneath it all he’s spectacular!!Brutally Beautiful was so dark and twisted but heartwarming and beautiful at the same time, I guess that’s the point though eh? With the title and all. It’s definitely a book that will cause you to shed a tear or three, so much heartache and devastation, truly breathtaking.
