A review by writtenechoes
Beautiful Chaos by Riley Hart, Devon McCormack

3.0

Riley is always hit or miss for me. Some of her novels are perfect 5 stars for me and some fall flat. This fell horribly flat. I understand what the authors were trying to say with this and appreciated the separation period for healing but them getting together in the first phase felt rushed to me. I do think it was well written in regards to how sometimes trauma does work into your kinks but … this just didn’t work for me personally.

It felt more like hurt/hurt with too much sex and not enough falling in love. But Riley seems to do that sometimes with writing by going “we sat and talked” okay well what did they talk about! Show them falling in love. Don’t just tell me they fell in love.

I made myself finish this. Never a great feeling.
