Gage is terribly broken. The life that he loved and was seemingly perfect ended up destroying him. When he lost Jenna, he turned to alcohol and women to cover the pain and sadness. He used women to fill a void in his soul. A void that Jenna had left. Until one night when he tried to fill the void with Cobie. But it seems Cobie was just as guilty of using Gage as he was of using her. Here’s the catch, there is always a price to be paid when things like this happen. Urgent and needed pleasure results in a little thing called a BABY!Gage steps up and has no problem taking on the role of daddy to be. But as things start looking like he could actually have a family and the life he had always wanted, something goes terribly wrong… Gage is left questioning everything he has ever loved and felt and is terrified of the future.This book completely broke my heart and still managed to find a way to piece it back together. It was such a beautiful story of love, loss and the future. It was about moving beyond the past and learning to live in the moment. You never know when it will be your last, so treasure the time you have. I read about 50% of this book and I was almost scared to read any further. I had a hole in my heart the size of Texas and I wasn’t sure it was going to be okay in the end.Gage was absolutely amazing and I just wanted more and more of him. He had passion and love but so much of it was generally aimed in the wrong direction and it seems he always discovered it just a little too late. I also adored Annie and Cobie. These two ladies really stole the show in the book. Cobie had such a strong passion and you couldn’t help but want to rally around her. Annie struggled with trust issues and you just wanted her to have a little more faith. But in the end Gage is still the one who had my heart.Now this book did shatter me in the first half, I won’t deny it. But the pieces were all picked up and put back together in the second half. It was just a fabulous story. It’s hard to describe all of the emotions I had while reading this book without giving away so much of it and I don’t want to be a spoiler. Build up after build up, this story just kept going and I thought it was fabulous.*I received a complimentary copy of Beautiful Misery in exchange for an honest review*
