A rather weak storyline has been dragged out to a trilogy.

The first book, to me, was ok. The second book was awful. And this concluding book was only ok, to me as well.

I didn't really enjoy the trilogy because I kept waiting to feel the suspense, and didn't. Olivia started off being a strong independent person in book one, yes she had issues but was strong in her own way. But by book 2 and 3, she turned into something very un-likeable.

As for Alexander, well I'm surprised he is still alive because he has got to be the least observant SEAL ever, and I wouldn't pay his security firm and staff!!

I found a lot of contradictions in the 3 books and found it all to be very unrealistic. Adding too many bullets and rapes and then people skipping into the sunset just doesn't do it for me I'm afraid.

Absolutely perfect conclusion to the Beautiful Mess Series!!!! Sigh...I love love Alex!



Gorgeous Chaos by T.K. Leigh was just absolutely F*CKING AMAZING conclusion to the Beautiful Mess series!!! I am in awe of Ms. Leigh’s writing. She did it once again, with her final installment of the Beautiful Mess series, she had me glued to my kindle and had me devouring this book in one sitting. I loved every moment in this final installment. From the first page to the very last page, I was hooked and could not put this book down. When I reached the last page in my kindle, I was literally a beautiful mess. I didn’t want to say goodbye to Olivia and Alexander and had tears streaming down my face. Seriously, I think Ms. Leigh should put warning labels in her books. I have never read a series that CONSUMED and made me FEEL. Gorgeous Chaos took me on one hell of an emotional roller-coaster ride that I felt every ounce of RAW emotions being poured out in each page.



Gorgeous Chaos picks off where it last left off in A Tragic Wreck, Olivia and Alexander are engaged and ready to tie the knot. But one secret has yet to be revealed, the TRUTH of Olivia’s real identity. For years, Sarah Olivia Adler has been told lies and thought she was alone. And the only person who knows the real Olivia is her love, Mr. Burnham. There is no doubt that Alex will move heaven and earth to protect his Olivia. His love for her is what others would be jealous to have. It’s pure, real and heartfelt.

When Olivia’s past and dreams begins to slowly creep back, Alex is torn in what to do. Should he tell her the truth? Or will the truth only expose the hidden dangers and threats facing Olivia? As he struggles to keep Olivia safe, his love for her is so STRONG. He lost Olivia once and he vows to never let that happen again even if it means hiding the truth and hurting Olivia. Will Olivia finally learn the truth of the green eyed boy in her dreams? And how far will Alex go to protect Olivia? He lost Olivia once...will she be strong enough once she learns the truth?



If there was a LOVE that was MEANT TO BE, it would have to be Olivia and Alexander. The love that these two had for each other radiates and are evoked in every word, looks, song and physical connection exchanged. The chemistry between Alex and Olivia is one of those connection that has no words. It was raw and heartfelt. After twenty years of having this empty void, it was like the heavens were finally blessing Alex and Olivia to finally get their chance at a happily ever after. They were each other’s missing piece and glue. Alex was the glue who finally could piece Olivia’s heart together. Furthermore, the sexual chemistry between Alex and Olivia were off the charts. I mean it was a blazing inferno!! It was steamy, sensual, and passionate.

Oh Mr. B.. I LOVE YOU!!! In my personal opinion, Mr. Burnham is PERFECTION. How can you not love a man who LOVES wholeheartedly. What truly amazes me of Mr. B is how strong and deep his LOVE for Olivia is.. No matter how many years has passed, there is only one person who holds his heart and that his OLIVIA!!! Sigh!!



Gorgeous Chaos was just one of those books that I absolutely LOVED the emotional roller-coaster Ms. Leigh took her readers on. Yes, this book had so many twist and turns and I didn’t know what surprises Ms. Leigh had in store for us but I loved every minute of it. I cried, swooned, had my heart broken, and ugly cried again. This series had everything that I loved from romance, sexual chemistry, angst, suspense and mystery. I loved everything in this series and could not find one thing I would change. Ms. Leigh did a brilliant job in captivating the readers in the beautiful journey of Alexander and Olivia. Their characters were portrayed so honest and raw that you were able to feel every emotions that they evoked from sadness, happiness, love, heartache, anger and bliss. Ms. Leigh took me on hell of emotional ride. So many tears were shed when it came to Olivia and Alexander. This couple literally gutted my heart. I felt every ounce of their pain, hurt, heartbreak, love and happiness. Each moment they were apart and together, you could feel how much they loved each other. Every song and words exchange were so heartfelt and meaningful.

If you haven’t read The Beautiful Mess Series, I highly suggest you do. This series is in my top favorites for it will capture any readers attention since it truly shows the love of a man who never stopped loving his first love and a woman whose tragic past continues to haunt her from truly loving and being loved. Ms. Leigh writes such an emotional tale of true love that it will capture any hearts. She will grip you in this heart wrenching, touching and beautiful tale of first love, second chances, friendship and family.



All of the best love stories have one thing in common, you have to go against the odds to get there. And Alex and Olivia showcased that their LOVE story is FATED and MEANT TO BE. Though their love may be described as a Beautiful Mess, a Tragic Wreck and a Gorgeous Chaos, Alex and Olivia proved true love exists. Overall, all I can say is that this series took my heart, twisted it around, tore it to pieces, and slowly taped it back together. So if you haven’t read A Beautiful Mess and A Tragic Wreck, I highly recommend you do. You do not want to miss an epic, heartbreaking, beautiful fated romance that will have you yearning for more. What I truly love about Ms. Leigh is that she writes beautiful, captivating, heartbreaking, and touching stories that grips you, touches you and stays with you. And The Beautiful Mess Series was a perfect example of this. The story-line is original, the characters were genuine and honest and the emotions were raw.

I finally got to the end of this book but it was very hard going. The storyline was a good one but for me it was far too long winded and slow moving. There was so much pointless dialogue and eventually I ended up skimming, particularly the "sex scenes", I found them very weak and unbelievable. By the time I reached the end of the series the only characters that I liked were Cam and Mo, I had well and truly got pissed off with the main characters and had lost interest in them long before the end. The only reason I kept reading was that I wanted to know who was behind the "plot" but even that was a disappointment because I'd already guessed who it was and why! I really liked Cam and I believe the author is writing his story but I'm not even sure that would make me read her again.

[Sue Czarnomski · Rating 2 out of 5]

Somewhat disappointed, and definitely shocked. While the author added a disclaimer in the beginning of the book regarding graphic violence, these scenes were most definitely not necessary to the integrity of this book and actually ruined it for me. I had been a supporter of this series and was anxiously awaiting its conclusion in book #3. The whole feeling of the story shifted in this book; the love scenes seemed unbelievable, too often and poorly written. I also felt that Olivia was out of character in this book. She was a terrible friend to those closest to her. For example, her best friend gets raped and shot 3 times and her character chooses to go home and demand sex instead of staying at the hospital with her and family. Cam, who loves her and has been nothing but a good friend and strong support system for her, is discarded, not once, but twice in this book. Lastly, if you're going to be brazen enough to write 2 rapes into a book, you have to be prepared to address the aftermath, and sadly the author didn't. They were both passed over and forgotten. While I'm glad that Cam is getting his own book, I'm hoping for a better story for him.

[Pamela · Rating 1 out of 5]

I went from absolutely loving book 1, “A Beautiful Mess,” to liking book 2, “A Tragic Wreck,” to not liking book 3, “A Gorgeous Chaos” . I had a really hard time getting through this last one as it was so long-winded it dragged on unnecessarily. Part of me wanted to honestly just give up, but I trudged on taking several breaks throughout. Hell, it’s taken me weeks to finally get around to writing a review. At first I’d given this novel three stars, then later two, but now as I sit back and ponder about it, one star is all I can give it. By the end of the last installment I honestly not only hated the story, I hated both Alex and Olivia. What an irritating couple.

Drama, drama, drama. This reads like a never-ending soap opera with all the drama going on. The once-strong, never demanding or controlling alpha-male is now overly jealous, over-the-top demanding and controlling, and a boorish ass. The once-strong female is now selfish, self-centered, whiny, pathetic, childish, and a bitch. Why every man wants to be with her or why she has so many friends is beyond me.

Gone is the abundance of sexual chemistry these two once had. Instead, it’s never-ending erotic sexcapades that become ridiculously tedious and boring as it never changes. Instead of dealing with what’s going on, they fill the void with constant sex. Let’s not forget the constant break-up, make-up, break-up, make-up along with all the lies and secrets they both withheld from each other. If not for all the sex and all the break-ups and make-ups, this would be one short story.

The one thing that really bugged the living shit out of me (which also took place in book 2) was how Olivia shared all her ongoing drama with a live audience every time she got up to sing which happened quite often. For a woman who wants her privacy, she’d get up on the stage and sing about how someone she loves hurt her, or how sorry she is that she hurt him and begs the man to take her back (this one took a few songs), to once again how hurt she is by the same man, etc. etc. etc. As she sings she cries, only to dramatically run off the stage, and yes this happened often as well. It’s not hard for the audience to guess who she’s singing about since she puts it all out there. One minute she’s having heated words with Alex, the next time she’s hugging him, and on and on. There is no way I’d be drinking at this bar.

I can’t believe how selfish and self-centered Olivia is. She has a friend in the hospital near death and she’s at home having sex and sleeping in till noon the next day. Way to support your friend. Everything has got to be about her. I got tired of her many tantrums of having security with her 24/7. You’d think that after what happened to her friend, who ended up in the hospital because of her, she’d relent, but hell no. Then we have the amazing Cam that we all came to know and love in book 2. During one of Olivia’s bouts of breaking up with Alex, she calls Cam to come to her in her time of need, and give her support all the while knowing how much he’s in love her. When she gets what she wants from him she politely tells him to leave. Of course Olivia makes sure that Alex knows Cam is with her. Did you think he wouldn’t find out? For two people supposedly so in love, kept breaking up because of secrets they withheld, you’d think they’d just come clean, but no. Throughout all the break-ups, make-ups, and bouts of sex, both still harboured secrets.

Thankfully their story came to an end with this novel. There's no way I was going to read a fourth installment had there been one. What a huge disappointment. I’m just glad it’s over. One last thing, “Heart of Light” is Cam’s story which is due out this year. I’m sure there are many readers anxious to read his story; however, as much as I loved his character, I think I’m going to wait for the reviews before I commit to reading it.

Epic summation of the whole series!
‎Love, hate, heartbreak, return to the roots, friends and enemies.

An unconventional story keeping its readers on their toes and on the edge of their seats.
Frustrating, blatant truth with outrageous details and even more angst.

The 'no-easy-way-out' approach bewilders and makes you question your choice and coaxes to check your masochistic tendencies.



Domineering, tough and relentless, Mr. Burnham doesn't disappoint - as always on guard of keeping us all safe and satisfied.

"Yes what?"
"Yes, Mr. Burnham!"





Villains and other black characters will give you the creeps and the final will not be able to come fast enough.


It should be sold with a warning: 'Addictive contents. Read it at your own risk'

This has been one of the best trilogies that I've read! From the very beginning it captures your attention. There are so many twist in this story you won't want to put the book down. I give this book 5 stars! Please, please read this book, you won't regret it! I know I will be reading it again! Can't wait to read more books from T.K. Leigh!

[Natalie · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved loved loved this book. T.K. Leigh has done it again. She has an amazing talent with words. The twists in the plot kept me engaged from beginning to end. Sad that Alex and Olivia's story has come to an end.

[Kimi · Rating 2 out of 5]

I felt like so many ridiculous things happened in this book.

At this point, I felt like all of Olivia's loved ones should have just given up on her and she should have checked into a mental facility. She ran away so many times and for the most ridiculous reasons. I know that she lost people she loved in the past but I don't feel like her entire life was absolutely horrible. Throughout this whole series I felt like Alexander should have just told her the truth about who he was. But no. Of course in book 3, someone else tells her which is so much worse. But still, that shouldn't have been cause for her to leave him again.

That fact that her dad was not dead and he was the villain all along was just too much. Alexander warned Olivia about protecting herself so many times yet she continued to not be aware of her surroundings, not take anything seriously and go out walking alone like a dumb ass.

In the end she ends up going out alone into a trap to save her friend even though she knew it was dangerous and that she was in danger. Of course her friend still ended up dying, Olivia was pregnant and gets raped, shot and then losses the baby. This was all so unnecessary.

Overall, I was disappointed in this series. I felt like it was Olivia running and coming back and wanting Alexander and pushing him away. It was an endless cycle.

[Laura · Rating 3 out of 5]

I really had to force my way through this last book. Not sure why such a huge difference between book 1 verses 2&3 but there is. Book one was magical, book 2 & 3 not so much. The felt forced and full of 'the same old romance book lines'. I loved Olivia in book one, she was strong and lost...towards the end just a whiner. Alexander's 'Alpha-ness' was so fake and forced at times it feels like 'sex talk' were thrown in last minute in attempts to make a scene hot and they were epic fails. So much promise and it ended in a dud for me sadly.

[Lynne Gallimore-ayling · Rating 5 out of 5]

A satisfying end to an incredible series! I enjoyed this series immensely! Wonderful characters, great writing, and an engaging plot make this one of the best trilogies I have ever read! Very highly recommended!!

[TC · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was one of the best series endings that I've ever read. It was explosive, shocking, unexpected and how it played out and the situations that occurred had me holding my breath and on the edge of my seat! I loved the mystery involved and how right until the end, you were guessing who the bad guy was and would hey catch him in time?

“I will never stop loving you. I’ve loved you since the day you were born, and I’ll love you until the day you die…”

There were some scenes where my heart broke for the characters involved and I was shocked at the twists and turns that they faced. There is heartbreak in this book, revelations and when you find out who the bad guy is.. I would have never guessed that it was them. You can help but follow the characters stories and emotions as the book went on and I literally devoured this book. After the first two, I needed to know what happened next. I was instantly drawn into the story and read the whole thing in one go.

Olivia and Alexander's relationship is tested in every way possible in Gorgeous Chaos and the secrets that Alexander has guarded are all beginning to unravel and Olivia becomes ever more entangled in these secrets and goings on. How will she cope with her whole life being uprooted and what will she think of Alexander when the truth comes out?

Overall a killer ending to one of my favourite series. The romance, mystery, suspense, second guessing yourself and so many twists and turns makes for one heck of a story. I was not disappointed and felt like I was holding my breathe the entire time. I just loved it! If you love mysteries and romance then I'd recommend this book a million times over. Alexander and Olivia's story is one that you will love and cherish long after finishing it. Cannot wait for the next work from T.K Leigh!

I rarely post negative reviews, because I strongly believe that each and every author deserves the benefit of the doubt and blah blah. But by God..this was the crappiest book of all times! (sorry Ms. Leigh). I mean, the girl is super duper model gorgeous, filthy rich of course, a talented musician with an angellic voice, a pillates instructor just for the fun of it, and very tamperamental. So much so, that she laughs, cries, screams, has steamy sex, runs away, in a period of five minutes. One would think that she could break it down in the three books, but whatever. Then you have her capture by the bad guys, where while pregnant, gets shot, beat at,raped, beat at again, slips in a coma, and after coming around and finding out that she lost the baby, goes home and has kinky sex. All in all, very believable and reallistic plot.

A woman being kept in the dark about her past, and the man whose love knows no bounds, will do ANYTHING to keep her safe, even if drives her further and further away.

I have such a bitter-sweet feeling while writing this review, because I have absolutely LOVED T.K. Leigh's Beautiful Mess series from the very beginning. Now, we have come to the end of Olivia Adler and Alexander Burnham's epic love story. When reading a series that you have grown to adore, you always worry when the final book comes about. Will the author do it justice? Will the characters get the happy ending they deserve? Will it leave you with questions unanswered? Well, I'm happy to announce that the conclusion will leave you not only satisfied, but completely and utterly content. T.K. Leigh's way with words totally mesmerize me and leave me breathless. Ms. Leigh is an Indie author that has made her way in this industry, and I know that even though this might be the end for Beautiful Mess, I believe that we will be seeing so much more of her work in the near future!

❝Olivia, I'll never give up on you. No matter what this life throws at us, no matter what obstacles we face, I will always stand by your side, looking out for you, protecting you. I love you.❞

Since this is ABSOLUTELY NOT a standalone, I will stay away from discussing the storyline in great detail. I wouldn't want to spoil this fabulous series at all for you. Alexander and Olivia have been through SO MUCH, and I feel like I have been there every step of the way with them. I have felt their lust, love, and adoration for each other. There has been secrets upon secrets, and lies upon lies, and it just adds so much to depth and realness to this story and the series itself. Entertaining and suspenseful, Gorgeous Chaos will immerse you in a world where you are so connected with these characters that your reality will blur, if only for a little while. Their problems become your problems, and their angst becomes your angst. Their tears become your tears, and so on. Nothing will pull you under quite like this book.

❝I can't lose you again.❞

❝I'm not sure I was ever yours to lose,❞

Tissues are a MUST with this Gorgeous Chaos. Even going back and re-reading quotes from the book has me tearing up. I just LOVE emotional reads. Nothing is better than curling up with a good book, and having a real good ugly cry when there is a turning point in a story. Be prepared for a couple in this book. You know those 'GASP' moments you sometimes come across, and it takes your breath away...it's exactly like that!

For the erotic romance reader in you, Gorgeous Chaos definitely does not disappoint in this department. The passion and the chemistry between Olivia and Alex are incredibly palpable. The sensual heat flies off the pages with every turn. This read will wrap you up in a nice steamy blanket of ecstasy and devotion. When Mr. Burnham comes alive in the bedroom, YOUR OVARIES WILL COMBUST! It is THAT fucking hot! This will be worth the re-read just for that man, for sure.

Gorgeous Chaos is a TOP PICK for me because it is pretty much written to PERFECTION. I couldn't have asked for a better ending for these two characters that I have become invested in, heart and soul. The ending was unexpected. I didn't see any of it coming, and the surprise had me banging my head against the wall. The expectations I had for the conclusion of the Beautiful Mess series was INCREDIBLY HIGH, and Ms. Leigh did all she could to surpass those, and my god, did she ever! Bravo!

Holy cow, I felt like I was put through the ringer to get to the end of this book. As with A Beautiful Mess and a Tragic Wreck, we are knee deep in suspense while being entertained by the sex on stick Mr. Burnham and his bedroom exploits.

After getting back together with Alexander, Olivia is happy, yet sill concerned about her heavy protection detail assigned to her by her fiancee. She isn't dumb, she realizes that Alexander is keeping something from her and the more detail assigned, the madder she gets about the secrets being kept from her. She is still dreaming about her green eyed boy, however he now has a voice and that voice is Alexander's. She is just so close, but ends up so far from figuring out what in the hell is going on.

There is a wedding to plan and a mystery to solve. Things are getting uglier by the second for Olivia as Simon and that b-word Adele work together with Donavan to jog Olivia's memory and get her away from Alexander and his protection detail. Of course we know there is a mole in the group and she is constant trouble for Alex, leaving Olivia more vulnerable than ever this time around. Alexander knows he needs to tell Olivia about her past, but as things get thicker, he keeps putting it off, until finally it is too late. This is the most action packed book of the three and went places that I didn't see coming. There is a lot of tragedy in Olivia's life and you just wonder how she is ever going to make it through.

Although engaged, Alexander and Olivia are on very shaky ground still, constantly at each others throats, which made for some fantastic make up sex. Again we have a well written, action packed, sexy book on our hands. All of the characters work well around Alex and Olivia, especially Cam. This guy is a freaking saint and I think T.K. Leigh needs to tell his story, there is just something about sweet Cam that tugs at my heart strings. It is a fantastic ending to a fantastic series and the prologue at the end was crazy.

Gorgeous Chaos is one book I had been waiting for, I wanted the answers to all the questions I had and I got them… OH BOY did I get them!
T.K Leigh has done an exceptional job ending this series and even though it’s the end I’m still so much in love with this series but I am sad it’s the end. T.K. Leigh really knows how to pull her audience in and keep us all captivated with the words she writes. I love the characters and its hard saying goodbye to them but we will always have them and can keep re-reading their stories.
In Gorgeous Chaos there are secrets, wedding planning and lots of electricity between Olivia and Alexander… oh and of course steamy sexy scenes!! By the end I felt like I had received some emotional whiplash because of Olivia and Alex boy they drove me nuts sometimes and I wanted to jump in and tell people to “Snap Out of It!” but I still LOVED every minute of it!
Like I said you get the answers you want in this book and Oh My Gosh you are going to see some twists you do not see coming. I think I read it with my mouth hanging open in shock and I thought my crying wall was about to burst as I’m yet to find a book that makes me cry well Gorgeous Chaos came really close. The emotion you feel within this series is amazing and pulls at those heart strings.
I have loved every minute I put into reading this series and it won’t be the last time I will read it. I have these books on my shelf and plan to revisit them again and again. Best series by far! T.K Leigh you are an amazing woman and Author thank you for sharing these stories with us and I look forward to reading more from you. Love you and Love your work!

‘Gorgeous Chaos’ finds Oliver Adler facing her fears of being abandon. She is ready to move forward with the next phase of her life with Mr. Burnham. Alexander is still holding on to all the secrets from Olivia’s past, all in the name of her protection. Little does he know there are enemies in his ring of trust. Olivia is remembering more and more everyday. The more she remembers the more danger she is in.

T.K. Leigh has done an excellent job of holding my interest throughout this entire series. In ‘A Beautiful Mess’ she made me fall in love with the characters. They are very well developed and very relatable. We started this interesting ride that took us deeper and deeper into a very great plot. Then in ‘A Tragic Wreck’ she pulled me further and further into this plot that kept me on the edge of my seat. I was biting my fingernails waiting to see how it all would end. Then I got my hands on ‘Gorgeous Chaos’ ...she blew me away! Excellent series!

This book and series is intended for mature audiences. It is filled with some sexy love scenes, some violence, and mature language. It is however a great series to read. ‘Gorgeous Chaos’ made my mouth drop open, made me want to throw my kindle, and made me say “What the What?! Outstanding! I had my suspicions but it was what I guessed but not to the extent as it was! GREAT BOOKS! I can’t wait for Cam’s Story! Excellent writing T.K. Leigh! Love it!

I don’t say this often, but the entire Beautiful Mess series is as close to perfection as a series can be. I was so conflicted between being happy and sad upon starting this book because I knew it would be the end of my time with Alexander and Olivia. There were so many questions to be answered and I wanted to know them, but I really didn’t want this adventure to end.

The conclusion to this series was AMAZING!!! I loved absolutely everything about Gorgeous Chaos. The passion and love between Olivia and Alexander is so powerful. There isn’t anything that he won’t do for her. And, while that is a good thing in most cases, we finally see what happens when Olivia finds out just how far Alexander has went to protect her.

There is so much action and revelations packed into this book, that it left me physically tired after reading. I wanted to devour each page, but I needed to take my time just so I could process everything that was happened. And, the BIG reveal…OMG, it was HUGE!!! We have a new gem in the literary community, and her name is T.K. Leigh!!!

Gorgeous Chaos is the final chapter in the story of Alexander and Olivia. I had high hopes for this book, being the last in a series of 3 and I was not disappointed. You know you are reading a really really good story when you find yourself yelling out loud, crying, laughing or rebuking something that is happening in the pages of your story with no concern for whomever is listening to you thinking "she must be crazy". You know it's a good book when your kindle tells you that you are 80% done and you yell "No No No!!" because you know that all too soon, you will be finished. There are twists right up to the end that you didn't think would happen. I loved how the story ended and am sated. Can't wait for Heart of Light to come out. The story continues for Cam. Thank you T.K.

Love this book. Where to begin. It's so hard. So many things happen and are going on. It was brutal getting to the end off this book. So many bad things happen to such good people I just didn't want to continue reading it. But it kept drawing me back. Olivia is as trusting as always and still never wants to listen to Alexander. This time there are horrible consequences for those actions. Alexander is as dominating as always, which I love. But his actions of not telling Olivia the truth cause even worse problems between them. Olivia has a lot of trust issues that Alex makes worse. I am so glad they get to have their HEA. They've loved each other their entire lives. True happiness is what they both deserve.

I had a difficult time finishing this book/series. The author could have significantly improved on this last story.
The issues that both characters had were a CONSTANT reminder. Many times I was scanning through sections in order to avoid reading the same thing over and over.
Then the horrific events that happened to Kierra, Melanie & Olivia were too much. I feel that the story did not need to be that gruesome.
And the story became ridiculous when Simon came back in the picture. How stupid can a girl be? Then there was poor Cameron. Olivia's dads involvement was certainly a shocker.

Sono qui a raccontarvi le difficoltà immense che ho trovato a leggere e terminare questo libro, ed è davvero un peccato perché all'inizio la storia di Alexander e Olivia mi era piaciuta, il primo libro è davvero bello, ma poi, già con il secondo capitolo il mio gradimento era sceso per arrivare in fondo con questo che, francamente, non sembra nemmeno scritto dalla stessa mano del primo.
Da dove comincio a spiegarvi il perché ho fatto una fatica immensa a finire Le ragioni del cuore? Potrei iniziare dalla trama troppo aggrovigliata, dall'infinita successione di lascia e prendi tra i due protagonisti, dall'antipatia insostenibile di Olivia, testona ed egoista, dall'assurdità dell'intreccio giallo talmente inverosimile da risultare a tratti comico, dall'inutile accanirsi dell'autrice contro i personaggi secondari che subiscono davvero ogni sorta di sciagura, considerato che abbiamo tra le mani un libro comunque romance e non un thriller.

Posso continuare, se volete, con le scene di sesso ripetute più o meno tutte uguali fino alla noia, con il finto moralismo dell'autrice che prima avverte che nel libro ci saranno scene di violenza pesanti che potrebbero infastidire i lettori e poi in realtà non ha il coraggio di scriverle e descriverle come andrebbe fatto, lasciandole solo intuire, con l'effetto di renderle incomprensibili e rovinare completamente il libro. Per farvi capire meglio come l'ho vissuta io vi spiego come la vedo: se decidi di scrivere un erotic suspense realistico, o anche un dark romance, che provochi shock e scuota i lettori devi avere il coraggio di raccontare con dovizia di particolari le scene più crude, soprattutto se le inserisci nella trama con il chiaro intento di provocare in chi ti legge la reazione da "pugno nello stomaco" che chiaramente stai cercando. La Leigh invece si è fatta prendere dalla paura e ha solo fatto intuire i passaggi più crudi, con il risultato di rendere la storia quasi incomprensibile, al limite del ridicolo, mostrando un pudore inutile e falsamente moralistico. In alcuni passaggi sono dovuta tornare indietro e rileggere perché non avevo capito quando era successo quello che poi in seguito veniva accennato. Inoltre mi ha infastidito l'accanimento sistematico contro i personaggi secondari, la cattiveria con cui ha trattato alcuni di loro, in particolare con Cam, lo psicologo innamorato di Olivia e con il fratello di Alexander, Taylor. L'unica cosa di questo libro che mi sento di salvare è proprio Alexander, che rimane il magnifico personaggio che già avevamo apprezzato nei precedenti capitoli, premuroso, apprensivo, innamorato e paziente, un personaggio chiaramente sprecato, in particolare con una delle protagoniste femminili peggiori che mi sia capitato di leggere. Ho infatti odiato Olivia e le sue fastidiosissime insicurezze fin dal primo libro, è troppo testarda, ha una visione esasperante e egoistica delle proprie priorità e tratta malissimo il povero Alex, che deve amarla davvero tanto se sopporta tutto quello che gli fa passare lei, a volte forse con un po' poco polso.

Let's take a moment of silence here people because this book stole my damn heart. Writing this review will help me lick my wounds and come to terms with the end ... Olivia and Alex's beautifully crazy love story has ended. I hope I am not the only reader that feels emotionally invested and depressed when I finish something magical and this my friends ... this is magical.

For those new to the series, Gorgeous Chaos is book 3 and final installment of Alexander and Olivia's story. Please read the books in order starting with A Beautiful Mess, A Tragic Wreck and finally dive deep into Gorgeous Chaos :)

Kept in a veil of secrecy over her past, Olivia is feeling nervous. Is there a reason she can't remember and what exactly do her dreams mean? Falling in love was never in her five year plan and marriage, umm no. Who can resist Mr. B though? From the moment their eyes met there was vivid recognition and extreme passion. Not just physical chemistry, but emotional need for each other. Moments apart were difficult for both of them, but reuniting was beautiful.
Confidentiality and secrecy were part of Alexanders world. His work required it, his life expected it, but Olivia, did she deserve it? Internal conflict ran heavy in these stories and I loved that. I loved that even when Alex thought he was doing something right, he questioned himself. And I loved that Olivia had a smart mouth and would demand her needs to him.
Have you ever seen an accident? Watched it happen in slow motion and just yelled nooooooooooooo, but knew you could do nothing? That is how I started reading this book ... knowing that the volcano of emotions were about to overflow and all I could do was watch. Gorgeous Chaos kept me on the edge of my seat and I honestly could not put it down. I was so desperate to find out Olivia and Alex's fate. The twists and turns made me gasp with shock. I love how just as I was thinking about a character, blam, the character appeared and had their own closure. The conclusion of this story was amazing. It was exactly what I expected; dirty, delicious, amazing, emotional, frantic, cosmic, the stars aligned with a perfect ending.

This book hits you with a 1-2 punch combo straight to the gut. It is steamy and sexy and sensitive. It is beautiful, and tragic and certainly gorgeous. If you are looking for something amazing to lose yourself in, grab these books. You will not be disappointed!!

T. K. you crazy good author. Every detail was thought out .. I could feel that. The play list was fantastic. The details in this book were on point excellent ... from describing the weather to describing the wardrobes of these characters, I could see it, I could feel it. That is art my friend. If there was a writing museum, this work of ART would be on the wall for us all to see and touch. Thank you, for this and for everything I know is to come.

It was truly an honor to have been chosen to beta-read Gorgeous Chaos. It took me quite some time to finally put my feelings about this book into words, as I just didn’t know how and where to begin and frankly, I didn’t want to acknowledge that this was the end of an outstanding series. To say that T.K. Leigh did a phenomenal job at concluding Alexander and Olivia’s story would be an understatement. Her exquisite writing truly pulls you in; you feel such an emotional connection to the characters and you just can’t fathom the thought of saying good-bye to characters you’ve grown to LOVE.

With every book in the series, you grow a stronger connection to both Alexander and Olivia and although these two will frustrate the hell out of you, you begin to understand why they do the crazy sh-tuff that they do, and although you may not agree with some of their actions/decisions, I believe that it was paramount for T.K. to have them take the path they’ve taken, in order to develop and solidify their characters.

The Alexander and Olivia saga will definitely make you feel like you’re caught in an inescapable rip-tide that you won’t want to be rescued from. They take you on a powerful, emotional journey filled with heartache, courage, hope and love that will leave your heart pounding and gasping for air.

“With everything going on, he was her constant…the one person she could depend on. The one person who had loved her throughout her entire life.”

“I can’t survive without you, Olivia. You’re my heart, and I’ll die without you.”

“Tears fell from his eyes as he buried his head against Olivi’s still body, not wanting to come to terms with the idea of losing her all over again.” “Please…Don’t leave me…”

Gorgeous Chaos is without a doubt, the most intense book in the series. ALL the mysteries and unanswered questions established in “A Beautiful Mess” and “A Tragic Wreck” will definitely be revealed. Have several boxes of Kleenex handy because it’s definitely not going to be a walk in the park.
The plot is certainly raw and gritty, and the suspense is incredibly palpable. Let’s just say, Gorgeous Chaos will smack you with the most jaw dropping, shocking revelation that will completely blow your mind!

THANK YOU to T.K. Leigh for sharing her wonderful masterpiece and allowing us to fall in-love with Alexander and Olivia. I’m utterly torn and heartbroken that we have to say good-bye, but I’m certainly looking forward to more of T.K.’s work and especially that sexy surfer Cam! Alexander and Olivia will always have a special place in my heart.

Gosh, where do I start? Olivia and Alex, they are one of my most favorite book couples ever. After all the drama in A Tragic Wreck, I really thought they would move past that and that this book would be tamer in terms of the highs and lows with their relationship. Nope, not at all. As a matter of fact, A Gorgeous Chaos had surprises at every turn cloaked with danger, up until the very end. Perhaps the only thing that was a constant throughout the whole book was how solidified Olivia and Alex's love for each other was, which is not to say that they didn't have conflict. However, there was definitely going to be an issue between them when the truth comes out about Olivia's past and she finds out that Alex knew all along and didn't tell her. It hurt to see them both so upset, Olivia distrusting Alex and Alex trying to protect her from danger by withholding the full truth. It was also incredibly frustrating because Alex wanted to fight for Olivia, so he did a lot of waiting and watching because anything more would push Olivia further away if he didn't come clean. Olivia, although more mature in acknowledging her feelings, still has the tendency to run away or escape from the issue at hand as much as possible, always needing her space. The silver lining of the book included appearances by Cam. He was that friend who could be there at a moment's notice and would put his personal interests aside because he cared for Olivia that much. Olivia's life is in jeopardy, which in turn, puts her friends' lives in jeopardy too. Really, really awful things happen to not only Olivia, but other people as well, the kind of awful that can be hard for any person to overcome even with survival because survival is not guaranteed. Alex does everything he can to protect Olivia but when the final bit of truth comes out, something even Alex didn't know, that is perhaps the hardest blow to the both of them. I loved all the old memories and tidbits about Alex and Olivia as children. Given their history and everything they went through, it seems like they can handle anything, but trust me, they go through even worse than what they experienced in the previous books that I started to wonder if they would ever recover. Well, it is Alex and Olivia after all and needless to say, if they were meant for each other, because it's obvious that they are, then they will stick together no matter what, through all the good and the bad and provide the other one with the strength to carry through. Although there is definitely an ending to the book, TK Leigh does something clever and includes a final scene between Alex and Olivia that is both significant and insignificant.
