Review
3.5 stars
The third and final book in the Beautiful trilogy, this is the final part of Harrison and Reagan’s story – a sexy and swoony second-chance-romance that is full of intensity.
This book is set eight months after the ending of Beautiful Sins. Harrison and Reagan have been apart that whole time, since Harrison’s dream blew up in his face and he chose vengeance over love. In that time, Reagan has found the success she’s always dreamed of, and when she is given the opportunity to play her dream club, she returns once again to Ibiza. Though he’s been preoccupied with his business, Harrison has kept a close eye on Reagan, and when he learns that she’s on his island – and has been seen with his brother – he drops everything to go to her, determined to win her back.
We never should have been, and that only makes me cling more determinedly to what we were. What we are.
One of my favourite things about a second-chance-romance is watching a smitten hero fighting hard to get his girl. Harrison has a lot to make up for, he knows he did wrong, and he wastes no time in finding Reagan, telling her what he wants, and grovelling like a champ to prove he’s a changed man. It’s a fantastic switch from his arrogance in the first book, as we get to see his vulnerable side, and I loved seeing him as the heartbroken but determined man bringing the swoon (and his mad sex appeal) and pouring his heart out to the girl he loves.
“Love me again.” He leans his forehead against mine … “Until you do, I’ll love enough for both of us.”
Reagan is understandably wary, but she can’t deny her feelings, and the chemistry is sizzling as these two find their way back to each other.
“I love you. I loved you first. And no matter what happens, dammit, I’ll love you later.”
But Harrison hasn’t forgotten about his mission of revenge, and Reagan soon finds herself caught up in the battle between Harrison and his enemy. It’s exciting with a touch of suspense, but mostly it shows the strength of Reagan and Harrison as a newly-reunited couple, which was great to see.
I enjoyed this book. I’m a sucker for a second-chance-romance, I liked seeing how much both Harrison and Reagan have grown, and they truly seemed to be in the right place to finally get their HEA, and I loved seeing that happen for them. The characters from earlier books all appear, and I especially loved seeing so much of Harrison’s brother, Ash – I suspect he’ll be getting his own book/series at some point, and that’s sure to be a good one!
This was a really strong finish for the series.
3.5 stars.
