Beautiful AddictionsJust finished this book and have to say I really loved it! We have two people who were deeply committed to each other when they were children. Time and circumstances pulled them away from one another, but fate and love drew them back together again. Although they were both different people, what never changed was their magnetic draw they each had for the other. Like a crazy puzzle that was always missing an important piece, their reunion completed the future that they were always meant to have.....but there were many tears, pain, and sorrow along the way.Meet Josie, she has had amnesia since she was 15, she can't really remember her father, her mother, or any of her previous life. She was found around the subway in New York and was told her mother and father were both dead. She was moved again and placed into the foster care system where horrific things were done to her. She left her foster home as soon as she turned 18, and lived on the streets. Josie uses drugs and sex to survive and to dull the pain that is a constant black hole in her life. She only has her drawing and her graffiti that help to quiet the chaos that is her past. She is sitting on her balcony one night when she sees a young man beat up a brick wall. Josie is fascinated and pulled into his pain, she must find out who he is, and draw him.Meet Travis, he is a gorgeous man who remembers everything! He was born with the gift of being able to retain everything he reads, sees, and feels. He fell in love with the new girl when he was 7 years old, and they were best friends, boyfriend and girlfriend in jr. High and high school until she moved away. They always knew that no matter what happened they would find a way back to each other when they turned 18. But life didn't work out the way they wanted, Travis found out that both Mackenzie and her father were dead. His life has never been the same since. He  thought that he had found a new love when he turned 16, and he stayed with Fiona until they graduated and moved away. He was working for Fiona's father who was a big crime lord, and he thought that they were happy. Until one day when he came home and found her with another man. Travis packs a small bag and walks away from that life, but can you ever get away from a crime lord?Two people who had nothing in common but a night in an alley. One pouring his pain into beating up a wall, another drawing his face and capturing his pain for eternity. It was purely accidental that they should ever cross paths again, but sometimes fate gives us blessings where we least expect them! Follow a completely addictive journey with two of the most lovable characters I have found this year! Put this on your Kindle, then put up the Do not disturb sign!
