A Beautiful MessFirst off I'm going to say that I heard a lot about this book before reading it. And I knew that there was a roller coaster of emotions involved, so I was nervous to read it. But I read it and am very glad I did."If you keep everyone at a distance, you can't ever really lose them."I had a love/hate relationship with Olivia throughout the book. I loved that she was strong, independent and smart. I hated that she had a hard time letting anyone in especially a very attractive man by the name of Alexander."What are you doing to me? There's something about you that keeps me coming back to you. I can't explain it. And I'm not sure I want to."I love Alexander. He is a strong, successful, attractive, passionate man who has feelings for Olivia. They both recognize they have strong feelings for each other but neither is quick to admit it. Oh how I loved to read about their dates, kisses, sparks, etc. And he is a great alpha male."You're only helpless when your nails are drying and even then I'm sure you could still pull the trigger if you had to."And then there's Kiera, Olivia's best friend. She is witty and can always make Olivia realize what she needs to do. She has a deep understanding of Olivia and is always there for her. Plus she says some really funny things. I like that Olivia has such a great best friend."You look good in my clothes," Alexander said. "But you could make a paper sack look good, Love."Love him! And loved the steamy sex scenes between Olivia and Alex. I can just imagine the smooth way he speaks, the definition of his muscles, the movement of his hair when he runs his hand through it. Yum!"The voice was back and Olivia had a strange feeling her entire world was about to come crumbling down on top of her."I always felt for Olivia. Her parents died, her uncle died and she is alone. But she has Kiera, her friend Mo and now Alexander. Is that enough to calm the voice in her head warning her, telling her to run again? To run from it all. You'll have to read this great book to find out the answer.A Tragic WreckI thought I was crushed at the end of A Beautiful Mess, but this book put an ache inside of me. I felt the emotions of both characters. This book was raw and I loved it.Olivia moved about as far away from Alexander as she could get. She was on a nice, quiet beach with nothing but sexy surfers to stare at. She tried to forget about the despair and all of the feelings she has built up from Alexander. But no matter what she does, she can't forget about him. About the way his touch feels, the way she feels when she's with him.Alexander knows no one can compare to her, his Olivia. And even though Olivia tries to move on as well, it's not the same. With both of them trying to go forward with their lives they know the connection they feel with one another can't be ignored. It's electric and real.Before Olivia knew what was happening, Alexander crushed his lips to hers, pulling her body against his own.For a brief moment, they were the only two people in the universe that mattered. They poured all the emotions that they felt over the past several months into that kiss. It was desperate and passionate and, no matter how much they devoured each other's mouths, it wasn't nearly as deep as they wanted or needed.T.K. Leigh did a great job with this book. It draws you in right from the start and you are just along for the ride with Olivia and Alexander. This book will leave you begging for the final installment in the series, Gorgeous Chaos. I know I for one can't wait to see how the series will end.Gorgeous ChaosGorgeous Chaos had me on the edge of my seat throughout the entire book. Olivia and Alexander are in for another bumpy ride and they aren't alone on it. All of their friends, including Cam, play pivotal parts in this book.Alexander is still hiding secrets from Olivia but knows that he has to tell her. Too much is happening for the secrets to remain buried. And it's not just the secrets, but who is behind it all that will surprise you. The twists and turns will have you waiting for the next shoe to drop.Through the lies, tragedy and tears, will Olivia still accept everything and want to be with Alexander? Can Alexander be the man that she needs in her life to support her and stay by her side? And what about Cam? Sigh, I do love him.This book had me smiling, crying, happy and then sad that it was ending. T.K. Leigh did an amazing job writing this book. I absolutely loved it. It was a great conclusion to a wonderful series.
