REVIEW
This book is written in first person narration; Lily's point of view and is the second book in the "Beautiful Series" sequel to "Beautiful Chances". I love how book 2 picks right back up where book 1 left off. Lily and Kyle have the relationship every couple wants. Their families seem like ones you would see on a Hallmark card. In the second book you get to meet Lily's family and see where she was raised and you will be able to feel the love the family has for one another. You will laugh at some point, you may get sad and angry; I know I did. I see Lily continues to become more of old herself. Kyle is continuing to be handsome and seemingly perfect, protective and possessive. He starts to open up about his past little by little in this book. Just like the last book this one doesn't leave you will a real cliff hanger but the mystery continues on who is stalking Lily; and it def leaves you wanting more.
Alicia Rae has done it again. She has made a romance that is just AWESOME! She is able to make Kyle and Lily's romance continue for another book without it drying out and feeling dull and boring. Instead you are wondering what is going to happen next. What else is Kyle NOT telling Lily about his past? Who is the stalker? and gosh dang-it why isn't book 3 out yet? lol all in all Alicia is fantastic at writing and if any of her other books are half as book as this one holy grail this woman is a romance genius!
After losing her parents and sister in a tragic car accident, Lily distances herself from those still around her. As she solely focuses on her work, she refuses to form any emotional attachments in fear of struggling through another unbearable loss.
…until Kyle enters her life with his possessive and overbearing personality. Instead of running, Lily finds herself drawn to him. Helping her on a path to healing, Kyle stands by her side and lends her his strength.
A bond is formed, but it is tested when the unthinkable happens.
Can taking a chance on love conquer all?

“Come here.” Kyle reached and gathered me in his arms as my legs circled around his waist.
I wrapped my arms around his neck, digging my fingers into his wet, soft hair. I could not wait one more second to kiss him. His thoughts mirrored mine, and he took my mouth delicately at first. Our kiss quickly deepened, like we couldn’t get enough of one another. As his tongue embraced with mine, my heart pulled him inside. I knew I would always want more of Kyle—one more kiss, one more touch, one more playful laugh. I never wanted to let him go.
He broke our kiss, his eyes piercing mine. “You are so beautiful, Lily, inside and out. I could stare at you for days. Every day I ask myself, ‘How I did I get so lucky to have you in my life?’” he said softly, his voice full of sincerity and gentleness, as he caressed my cheek with the backs of his fingers.
“I feel the same way too,” I whispered. I blinked back tears as his last words tore through me, fusing him into my heart and soul. “Except I’m the lucky one.”
Written in first person narration from Lily's point of view. I adore this book. First off the main character; Lily Tidsdale; is a book writer so she's already awesome. The main male character; Kyle Madison; is GORGEOUS AND TATTED! YUMMY!! Kyle is THE PERFECT MAN. He is sweet, sexy, has a great sense of humor and so damn attentive and protective you will wish he was real. Lily is amazing. She has a dark shadow in her past and has the book goes on you will learn more about it; however she doesn't let it stop her from finding joy in every day life. In this book you meet Kyle's family and they're also great people even though their parts aren't major you still get to know them without it being long and drawn out.Lily and Kyle's love story will keep you turning pages and yes while its ultimately predictable it is a great book that will have you smiling when you are done reading it. There's also a mystery in the book and it is a bit of a cliff hanger.
Alicia Rae is a great writer. She has a way with words that makes you feel what the characters are feeling. This is a book you will not want it to end & the sex scenes will make you flush. :P I love the whole average book writer writer meets handsome; seemingly perfect business man :) I enjoyed that she started it off as a simple romance but introduces a bit of drama and the major mystery as the book goes on. She know has to conclude the book but still has you begging for more.
