BEAUTIFULLY UNFINISHED

BEAUTIFULLY UNFINISHED

by: BEVERLEY HOLLOWED

THE BLURB:

Lucy Chance’s life was changed in just one night. While at a high school party, she was assaulted and everything she believed about her life, was gone in a heartbeat.

Nine years later, Lucy is a successful New York Photographer. She has her life just how she wants it, keeping everyone at a safe distance.

That is until her father, the local police chief, is injured in a bank robbery. Lucy must put her fears aside and go back to the town that once turned its back on her.

She must face old ghosts, which include Riley, her high school sweetheart. Tucker, the boy who saved her that night, and Trent, the boy who ruined her life.

Can she put old ghosts to rest and find the courage to love once again, or will the man that haunts her dreams, destroy her life forever.
Is her life destined to remain Beautifully Unfinished?

THE AUTHOR:

My name is Beverley, though most people call me Bev. I live in Dublin, Ireland with my husband, my two sons and my dog Alfie.

I released my first book, Forever and Always in December 2012. I have since released 10 more books, including two series. Beautifully Unfinished is my 12th release.

I am stay at home mom and a full time writer. I love music and almost anything creative, including designing all my own covers, knitting, crochet, sketching and Jewellery making.

THE REVIEW:

I received this book as a ARC, in exchange for an honest review; and that's what you will get!!!

I give this "Beautifully Unfinished" book 5 stars because:

I always look forward to reading a book by Bev, because they NEVER disappoint me. I have read every book she has written, and there was not one that got a rating below 5 stars.

With that being said, here is my review.

I truly absolutely loved this book, love, love, loved it. Did I mention that I loved this book? Ok, you get the picture now.

As always, since Bev has written a blurb, and has a few teasers for you, there is no need for me to explain what the book is about, I'll just give you my run down, because I don't want to get to carried away and tell you the whole story.

 The characters are all well developed and it’s easy for the reader to see each of their motivations.  Despite there being quite a market for futuristic dystopian-esque books this one is unique enough to stand out and will keep readers engaged.

All the characters are interesting as their personalities are revealed.  Also, in this world no one is really ever safe, which makes the outcome all the more real.

This story is captivating, but it would have lost something if it was stretched out for any longer than one novel; and with Bev knowing how much I rather stand-alones, I am forever grateful that she asked me to read this before it was published.

Trent -- a B-I-G ~~~ a-hole. Can't stand him, despise him, he should be cut up with a dull knife, and slowly have lemon juice poured over him, then hung by his ball bag. So yep, not a fan of him at all. So no more time wasted on him, that's all I have to say about that douche!

Lucy-- Love Lucy, she is such a strong, brave, and beautiful young lady, who has been through hell and back, but still keeps going. Although she would do anything to forget her past, it is hard for her to trust again, she eventually will. She has done well for herself, better than most would.

April--didn't get to know her much, but from what I did, she also was a strong young lady, who wished she would have done things different, either way- it probably wouldn't have mattered. I still liked her.

Alison--such a cute, spirited young lady who became a victim just for being someone's good friend. She to is a strong young lady, and thankfully has a great guy David by her side to help her and be there for her along her future roads through life. Wish I could always be as joyful as her, lol

Riley-- Well at first I thought he was awesome. Then I thought he was an a$$, then I started thinking "what a frickin" creeper, then I thought wow finally gonna do something, then I thought OMG-poor thing, then I thought well, he has come to realize what is best, and supports it, and he could really be a great guy, for someone.

Tucker-- Yes I have saved the best for last.

OMG- where can I find me a Tucker? lol

Now he is truly by far one of the most genuine people you will read about; through and through.

He had me at "Hi there". :)

I think that he is such a dream, great guy, handsome, and HOT, patient, protective, dependable, determined, strong, loving, and goddess of a man, that any woman with a pulse would want to have in her life. He was like a light in shinning armor. Even his name was perfect. I just adored him, his honesty and commitment to whatever he did. He was a one of a kind. I could go on all day about Tucker, but the book wasn't just about him, although I did have to give him a little bit of glory.

The book was beautifully & well-written and had some memorable characters.

My advise, is to read it slow and savior it like the finest milk chocolate you ever sunk your teeth in. Me - on the other hand got greedy and couldn't get through it fast enough.

Hope you enjoy "Beautifully Unfinished" as much as I did.

 

Thank you Bev for your friendship, and trust in me, with another one of your prize possessions. You truly ROCK!!!!

And, now I add to my bucket list a chance to meet you in person!!
