About this listen

Olivia Adler is a woman with a troubled past. After losing her parents at the age of six and being raised by an uncle who she lost years later, she refuses to get attached to anyone, including friends. For the past decade, she has been able to remain unattached to any man, too worried about losing someone to get too close - that is, until Alexander Burnham walks into her life one night and changes everything. But Alexander has issues of his own, and he's keeping a secret that could turn Olivia's world upside down. Will Olivia let Alexander in enough for him to get close and protect her from a force that threatens her very existence, or will she push him away in order to protect her heart?

CHOC FULL OF DRAMA AND A HOT ROMANCE

Olivia had a tragic past which is resurfacing and threatening her today but she is totally unaware of it because she is suffering from partial amnesia so has lost many early memories. Saved one night by a handsome stranger with beautiful green eyes, familiar eyes, eyes of a saviour from that terrible event that's been giving her nightmares, nightmares that leaves her mentally and emotionally scarred and scared.

Alexander is a near perfect Hero, handsome, successful and loving but he's still heartbroken over the death of his childhood best friend, the best friend with beautiful brown eyes that he still searches for in every woman..... eyes that are now looking up at him from the beautiful face of a terrified woman. He remembers everything, she remembers nothing which leads to epic secrets, secrets that hold mysterious questions, danger, suspense, villains with evil plots, murder and, as their unavoidable chemistry explodes, it's secrets he should finally share with her..... but dare he.

What a well-written and gripping romance/suspense story that had so many twists, questions and some very passionate love scenes that sometimes had light Sub/Dom moments. The narration was excellent and added personality, feelings and depth to the characters in the story.

Worth a credit? This was a very emotional story, a story of undying love and it hooked me in from the start but it was one of those books that'll make you so annoyed with the Hero that you could just shake him for not divulging the secrets, secrets that involved the Heroine and is threatening her very life. Then, of course, came a very emotional heartbreaking cliffhanger which not only left me with a lump in my throat but it had me tearing my hair out that it had ended. Luckily book 2 isn't far away and I've already pre-ordered it so now comes the difficult part..... the waiting. Creditworthy.....OH HELL YEAH.

This was one of the best audio books ever.

Would you consider the audio edition of A Beautiful Mess to be better than the print version?

Absolutely! I've read this book several times and loved it each time. But I have to say Anadelle Waters and her interpretation of each of the characters makes a difference when hearing the story.

What did you like best about this story?

I loved every single moment. I think the best part for me though was when Alex adopted Runner. You can just see the two main characters coming to that point of no return.

What about Anadelle Waters’s performance did you like?

Everything. I love the smoothness of her voice and her interpretation of each character. She had me laughing at parts and in tears in others.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes, I actually had trouble walking away from this audio book.

In one respect, this is a "Fifty Shades" wanna-be!

Here we have his gruff, demanding and controlling sexual behavior without her trepidation - and very little heat. She's the damaged one while he has pined away for the young love of his puberty. Screw up meets screw-job, then we finish with an abrupt departure. Now, I just want to know the rest of the back story so I might get the second one just to satisfy my curiosity.

Loved it Loved it Loved it ..........

Any additional comments?

I can't wait for the next book to find out what happens to Olivia. The situations with the other woman trying to get Alex/s attention aren't really explained well, but it was good to hear Olivia punched the girl for trying to cause trouble, This is a story of long lost loves, just one of them doesn't know it.

Everything in darkness, will come to the light.

This book started out well, but then got bogged down with lies. Alexander should have told Olivia the truth when he realized who she was, instead of having sex with her and not telling her everything he knew about her. I gave this book 3-stars, because Alexander was selfish and controlling. The narrator, should've had a male partner, when she took on Alexander role, it was too much for her, saying the male role was hard to hear, she didn't sound manly at all, it was irritating to hear. I won't be listening to book 2 & 3, I hope it gets better not worse.

Good listen

I was a little torn on whether to get this book but I am glad so far that I did. It has all the elements I enjoy romance, mystery, adventure, and steam! Worth the credit so far, can't wait to see where it goes in book 2.

Great book,...

what an emotional ride,about a woman with a screwed up life,but with nothing but her dreams tying her to it and the man that has loved her since her childhood even if she doesn't remember it,just a boy with green eyes that haunts her dreams. I'm sitting here in tears at the way this story has ended and will definitely have to read the next book in this series, my only wish is that this story can have a hea, even as I sit here crying all I can say is its a must read if you want more out of a book than just an organism. well on to the next book for me.

A must listen

Never realized I never left a review for this book. I read many years ago it's one of my favorites. It's one of the first indie books I read, and what made me love T.K Leigh's writing. I absolutely love Olivia and Alexander's story. Anadelle really brings it to life.
