This was my first experience reading this author’s work but it definitely won’t be the last — I enjoyed this book so much! I read it in less than 2 days because I couldn’t put it down. It’s a beautiful, emotional second-chance romance that could also be considered romantic suspense because of the secondary storyline which really added to the whole experience of this read. I loved Peyton and Jackson’s characters so much — these two were heartbreakingly in love with one another and true soulmates. The introduction of their friends and family members just added to their journey–I’m hoping we get Elle & Maverick’s story next!! If you’re looking for angst, suspense, emotional feels and an intense, interesting plot, I highly suggest Beautifully Damaged. 5-star read! I voluntarily read and reviewed an ARC for NetGalley.
