"A Beautiful Mess" - This is the type of book that you just fall in love with from Page 1. Olivia Adler is such a complex character that at times I just wanted to scream at her. She lost her parents at a young age and her "uncle" when she graduated from college. When she feels like she is getting too close to someone, she pushes them away or she runs. She doesn't do relationships either, she has a policy of no dating simply sex with guys. She finds herself in danger one night and is rescued by Alexander Burnham. Immediately, she feels that there is something different about him. She changes her whole policy about relationships for him. There is so much drama and romance between these two that I hated for the book to end. The flashbacks weren't confusing although some of the dream sequences were a little bit odd. I will admit that I was confused by Cheryl's seemingly double cross of Alexander."A Tragic Wreck" - It's only fair to start out with saying that, in my opinion, this book deserves more than 5 stars. Olivia has run from Boston and is hiding in Florida. She has met Cameron who, I'll admit, seemed to be a great guy. He just wasn't Alexander. Of course, Alexander isn't giving up so easily. After finding her in Florida, he begs her to give him another chance but Olivia does what she does best - she pushes him away and this time into the arms of another woman. The story completely throws me from that point. T.k. Leigh had so many emotions running through me while reading this book that there were times that I was honestly screaming at her trying to figure out what she was up to. I loved her at times because I was thrilled with the way that the story was going. In all honesty, I'm not sure that I've ever read a book that pulled me in the way that A Tragic Wreck did. By the way, that name definitely fits the way this book read."Gorgeous Chaos" - First of all, I am very sad to see this series end. The characters have really grown on me and I have definitely enjoyed their journey. Second, I was thrilled to see Cam make another appearance in Gorgeous Chaos. His character played an important role in Olivia's recovery in A Tragic Wreck. Also, I simply can't wait for Cam's book. Alexander has been hiding the truth about Olivia's past from her for over a year. Now, there are other forces factored in that makes certain the truth is revealed. This drives a wedge in their relationship and puts Olivia's life in danger. She receives help from the most unlikely source. Even after losing a friend and watching another friend being brutally attacked, she still tries to remain strong.T.K. Leigh has done an amazing job with this entire series. She is such an amazing author who has such a creative mind that definitely shows throughout these three books. Her characters are fully developed in the first book and they just continue to grow through the remaining two books. Her storylines flow seamlessly and this book definitely deserves more than a five-star rating.
