A Tragic Wreck by T. K. Leigh (The Beautiful Mess series book 2)

 

Synopsis

 How can you continue living when you’re living a lie? How can you convince your body to stop feeling, your soul to stop caring, and your heart to stop beating?

Haunted by her past, Olivia Adler flees Boston for a beach in Florida, leaving everyone behind, trying to shut the world out. Remaining a relative recluse in her self-imposed prison, she tries to turn everything off, wanting to feel nothing. But a new acquaintance won’t let that happen. After being away from Alexander for a month, his voice constantly ringing in her head, reminding her that her inability to confront her demons will not only destroy her, but also him, can she really be expected to want to feel again when it brings nothing but pain?
Back in Boston, everywhere he turns, Alexander Burnham is reminded of Olivia… His Olivia… He tries to dull the ache left in his heart the only way he knows how… in the bed of a beautiful woman. But Alexander isn’t about to lose his Olivia. After a clue comes to light regarding Olivia’s whereabouts, can he convince her to return to Boston with him? When a force that has laid dormant for months resurfaces, can Alexander still protect her from the unknown danger? And when Alexander comes face to face with a shadow of both his and Olivia’s past, will he be able to tell her the secret that is threatening to tear them apart?

Review

Okay so... I was just the tiniest bit disappointed by this book, it was really good don't get me wrong but, it is definitely not what I was expecting based on the synopsis or prologue of this book. There was A LOT OF SEX which I avoid reading most of the time, as I say for A Beautiful Mess  I don't read the sex parts because is just not my thing but the story line is good. So Olivia leaves because she doesn't trust her feelings and that Alexander will stay because of what he said "It will destroy me too" and so she bases her departure on making Alexander's life better without her.
She was a bit disappointing because in some parts I saw her as a (pardon for my following word selection) whore. Yep, she had sex with this guy Cam because she just didn't want to feel any more of the pain. Through out those chapters I was just kind of screaming to the book and Olivia, "why don't you just go back to Boston and make up with Alexander" both were suffering, so, what was the big deal?
On the other hand we know that Alexander has swear and swear that he has always waited for his Olivia, and he just decides that he is getting married with this other girl that we didn't know a blip about, and then Olivia is back trying to get him back and he keeps telling her no, knowing that she has troubles. So this is just a messed up part of the story that could have been written a bit differently without so much of repetition of the same thing, love, sex, fight, crying, and over again. At some points was just really boring, and again Olivia doesn't find out about her past, and she doesn't know she is been living in a Lie her entire life. 
Once again the story line was really good, with some boring parts, and things that could definitely been written better. 
I give this second book a 3.5 stars out of 5 just because it had some boring parts but the story line still got me thinking on what will happen in the third and final book. 

Fingers crossed for Gorgeous Chaos to be better than this one.
