Review:
GAH! Romantic Suspense is a weakness of mine, and this one certainly hit all the marks for me. Beautifully Broken Life is a beautiful tale of romance, but so much more than that. It's a story of grief and heartache. It's a story of accepting the past and learning to move forward in life. It is a story of hope and the strength of love. And it's one that will tug at your heart strings, but leave you smiling and crying tears of joy in the end.
Beautifully Broken Life follows the story Tessa and Liam. Tessa is on the run trying to escape an abusive past at the hands of her ex-fiancee. Thanks to close friend, she has everything she needs to start over in the small town of Sutter Lake. Tessa is a kind and gentle soul who is trying so hard to be brave, but is very frightened of her past. She is always looking over her shoulder with a packed bag nearby, prepared to leave at any sign of suspicion. She eventually settles in, makes new friends and takes on a new job at the bakery, but finds it hard to truly let anyone in. She knows that if her ex were to ever find her, he wouldn't hesitate to hurt or kill in order to get to her.
Liam is a famous musician that hails from LA. His life has been pure hell lately. Dealing with a psychotic stalker and the pressure to produce new music is starting to take a toll. So he escapes to Sutter Lake to spend some time with old friends. Maybe here he can clear his head and lay low for a while. To heal from the darkness of his past, and find the inspiration to get back to writing again. When he spots Tessa in the bakery, he is immediately drawn to her unique beauty. She is just the muse he needs as the words suddenly start flowing again. But getting past her safeguards is not going to be an easy task. Her heart is guarded, and the walls are firmly in place. He will have to tread carefully in the process of trying to earn her trust and love.
Watching Tessa and Liam together was both beautiful and magical. They were both hiding and trying to heal from their dark pasts. Then when their pasts came back to haunt them, this is where things got really intense. The author takes you on such an emotional journey full of angst, drama, romance and suspense. It was so masterfully written and filled to the brim with everything that I love. The characters were wonderful, and the plot was well developed. This book is sure to be a hit as I know it was with me.
