I wasn\u2019t really feeling the love story in the first book, it was more chemistry and lusty attraction than romance, and it felt like a bit of a mess. But the potential was definitely there for more, and in this book, that\u2019s exactly what we get &#8211; <i>more<\/i>.<\/p>\n<p>Harrison is a driven man who is used to getting what he wants. Up until this point it\u2019s been business, but now, it\u2019s Reagan, and he\u2019s holding nothing back from her anymore.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>\u201cYou came into my club, my house, my island, and turned them upside down.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Harrison\u2019s pursuit of Reagan is absolutely gorgeous. He makes it clear that he is there for her, he makes her his priority, and he is opening himself up in a way he never has before. Reagan has held Harrison at a distance up until now, but when he shows up in LA set on claiming her heart, she is powerless to resist. It\u2019s not instant, and the build-up brings this great sense of anticipation, and it\u2019s sweet, romantic, and sizzlingly sexy, as Reagan\u2019s own walls come tumbling down when she finally starts to let Harrison in.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><i>\u201cI understand why you don\u2019t let people in. I can\u2019t promise to make up for all of them, Raegan. But I\u2019ll fucking die trying.\u201d<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Everything changes as they commit to an actual relationship, and I loved seeing them all \u2018coupley\u2019 and becoming a part of each other\u2019s lives, especially when Harrison\u2019s protective side comes out! They are both dedicated to their careers, but they are by each other\u2019s side through it all \u2013 Harrison supporting Reagan in her bid to win a prestigious DJ gig, and Reagan is a big part of Harrison\u2019s new project as he works to build a huge, new club in LA. At the same time, Harrison continues his plans to buy the Ibiza club to honor the memory of his parents, and he\u2019s still searching for answers to his family\u2019s past.<\/p>\n<p>But there are still secrets there, and the dramas of the past haven\u2019t let go just yet. The ending comes with a bit of a surprise, and I\u2019m really keen to see how it\u2019s all going to end up. I\u2019ll be eagerly awaiting the release of <em>Beautiful Ruin<\/em> in August.<\/p>\n<p>3 stars.<\/p>\n<p><i>An Advanced Reader Copy of this book was provided by the author in exchange for an honest
