A Tragic Wreck by T.K. Leigh

5.0

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?

What an amazing follow up to Beautiful Mess! As soon as this arrived on my kindle I had to drop everything and read this book! Oh how I missed you Mr. Burnham! In the last novel, T.K. Leigh left us with a serious cliffhanger and major book hangover, this book will clear up some of the questions left behind, but not all because guess what? This isn’t the last of Olivia and Alexander so be plenty prepared for another cliffhanger, but not near as severe as the first. Let us state the obvious here; I wanted to slap Olivia several times in this book. Seriously girl, he flies out to win you back and you slam the door in his face, grrrr….. but had she fallen back into her old ways that would make a boring book, and this was far from it. This book is filled with drama, so before starting it, be prepared to stay up way too late in order to finish it. Also, be ready for some pretty steamy scenes, because this book trumps the last in that department!!
My only complaint is a minor one, what the heck happens to Olivia’s friend from Florida? Seriously, Cam just gets left behind? Not a phone call, email, or even a text to him? Pretty sure he earned that much. Or is this just an opening for Cam to have his own spin off later?
This book is recommended for anyone 18 and over due to strong sexual content and some minor violence. I can’t say it enough grab this book as soon as you can. It will have you captivated from page one and you will fall in love all over again with Olivia and Alex. A huge thank you to T.K. Leigh for the opportunity to read and review a novel that I loved so much!
