REVIEW  

If you are looking for something similar to Fifty Shades of Grey this is your book! A Beautiful Mess is the story of this twenty-seven year old Olivia who is a very strong woman, but is unable to make any sentimental attachments to any man, the relationships she has are only for the benefit of "getting laid" she likes it that way and seems to be perfectly okay with it. Her friends Kiera and Mo (Jack) are always on her back about doing things right, and finding a guy who she can love but she is just afraid to make such connection and then losing him.
Alexander on the other hand is capable of making a connection and actually wants it but with a girl who happens to be dead, yeap, or so he thinks she is dead, he has only loved one girl and that girl ends up being Olivia
They meet really weirdly but you know right from the get go that something is going on with Alexander, he saves her and right in that moment he thinks the brown-eyed girl is his Olivia, he does find out soon that in fact she is the girl who he though died more than twenty years ago and whom he has always looked for. He obviously falls right in love with her again, not that he ever stopped but he falls.
They have some weird relationship because Olivia doesn't really want to make the commitment of the relationship but at the same time she knows he is the only guy who can ever make her feel so alive.
They have a rather passionate relationship, with lots of sex, some fighting and Alex going crazy with her protection because he knows she is alive for a reason and is afraid he is going to lose her again.

The story line is great, it has you making assumptions, and guessing, and I believe that is the way a book should make you feel. It has a lot of sex descriptions so if you're one of those people that don't like to know it graphically, is something you might want to avoid reading (I know I did) but the story aside from the sexual content is great, so don't put this book in the "to never read" list, the story is something you might enjoy.
The ending is a shocker, but at the same time is something that is foretold, something that you thought might happen.


Do not get fooled by the synopsis this books don't really go with what it says in there but they have some of it .
A Beautiful Mess is a story worth reading and getting involved with, besides you are totally gonna want to know what happens in Tragic Wreck because this story has an amazing cliffhanger.

This book definitely deserves a 4.5 stars
