Beautiful Exile by Catherine Cowles
5.0

I love Arden and Lincoln. I love finally knowing why Arden is the way she is. The suspense is great, and I did have a thought that the bad guy was the bad guy, but then I talked myself out of it and was like, know way I'm always wrong and can never get Catherine's bad guys right. I love the way Lincoln supports Arden in every way, and I love how Arden sees all the things he doesn't want others to see. 

"'It wasn't a storybook kind of love. It was a messy one, imperfect with jagged edges, just like my statue. Because that love had been through a war. But it was stronger because it had come out the other side.'"
