what can I say?? I'm obsessed!!

Could've been great, but it was horrible
Could've been great, but it was horrible
Why in the world would T.K. Leigh make her hero an ex navy seal, who's totally incompetent? This author needs to read some Suzanne Brockmann before even going into the navy seal world.
Honestly, I've never understood what bloggers meant when they say they felt like they were told the story. That the author didn't let them feel and discover the story on their own. I understand completely now!!!
I had no emotional attachment to this story, or stories (I read the trilogy). I never even pictured the characters in my head. The way the author writes, skipping all over with the point of view, I often didn't know who was taking or thinking.
It's obvious this author is Indy. It's sad really because it makes me not want to try other Indy authors. My favorite all time series was from an Indy author and this author tarnished those out there who are trying to make a mark.
There was far too much going on in these books, but all that could've made this story great was skipped over, all the suspense was thrown out for repetitive sex scenes. Everything about the love story became repetitive and I really didn't care to read the ending. I did, but stl felt nothing for it. There was no racing heart, gripping book, turning pages for me AT ALL.
I guess I'm one of the few to say these books left me with no emotion. I feel like I was told a cheap version of a terrible story.

This book reminder me a lot of 5⃣0⃣ shades of grey ... If you enjoyed that series, you will enjoy this one;)
I love the concept of the books ....Sexy , second chance at love- thriller book.
It had many parts that made me laugh and made me cry.....even my heart had a lot of small heart attacks to get through!
Definitely a series worth reading ... But over 18 only!!!!

One book would've been enough. Series was repetitive. Annoying. Very hard to get through THREE books. Took me almost a month to read all 3. That is very unlike me...I read 3 books a week as long as I'm enthralled.

You will remember and recommend these books for years to come! I can't say enough how much i loved each one of them.
A Beautiful Mess had me from page 1. Olivia's tragic past hurt my heart. The love that Alex had/has for Olivia is once in a lifetime. I am anxiously awaiting the conclusion of their story!
I couldn't stop reading A Tragic Wreck! I have spent the past few hours huffing and sniffing at my iPad. So much emotion in this book! I wanted to hate Cam, but I couldn't. He was there to help Olivia heal. Alex had me screaming in my head and wanting to pull my hair. What was he thinking hooking up with Chelsea! So glad Olivia and Alex got their heads out of their rears. I don't know if my emotions can take much more. I'm ready for Gorgeous Chaos now!! I must have my HEA!
This book was beyond amazing! Gorgeous Chaos is the final book in the Beautiful Mess trilogy. It gave me everything I was looking for to end Olivia and Alexander's story. There was drama, suspense, angst, trauma, friendship and love. You will laugh, cry, scream and have heart palpations when you read this, but it is so worth it!

So, I have rated each book by themselves and now am doing a review as a whole. This book/series was part of a book club I am in. It took me a little bit to get into but once I did I was hooked. This is by far one of my most favorite and most I dont even know the word I need to use. While I LOVED it I also didn't. The raw emotion and the events that unfolded throughout the series at time were hard to handle. I wondered why it had to go in certain directions. BUT then, it is a fictional and I think if you read books thinking in the back of your mind compairing it to real life you may not like it. I like that I felt helpless at times and that in book 2 I ugly cried because I could feel Alexander and Olivia's pain. Book 1 was a slow start, Book 2 had a lot of raw emotion and Book 3 was painful at times and made me mad but I really did FLOVE it. This is not only a romance series it also have much more. The mystery and the ending I think while hard to get through at times was amazing. Yes, I know this is an all over the place review but that is exactly what you'll feel when reading.

Gah!!!
Ok, the first book in this series was interesting enough to pull me in. I HATE when people review a book and tell everything that happens, so I won't be doing that, BUT the second book drove me effing nuts. I couldn't they get behind the lead characters in this one, and in fact, pretty much disliked them-same mistakes over and over and over-how clueless can you be?? By the last one, I wanted to stop reading several times but felt invested in finishing the series. I think this could have been a fabulous series, had the lead characters hadn't been sooo hard to like toward the end. T. K. Leigh is a talented author, but the second book and conclusion fell short of what this story could have been.

With Every Page Turn I Lost IQ Points
I said after reading book 1 and hating that book I had no interest in reading the last 2 books. When I went to delete this book from my amazon page to my utter shock, I had already purchased books 2&3. But it gets worse...I also bought the Boxed Set...I got screwed twice. So I read on. Here’s what I wish...I wish Alex had married Chelsea, Kiera had a worthy best friend, Mo asked everyone to call him Just Jack and poor Cam..I wish a shark bit him when he was surfing...it would have been less painless than meeting Olivia. And Olivia I just wished she died in the car crash.

Wanted to like it
I really liked the Inferno series. I had high hopes for this one too, but boy was I let down. The POV wasn’t consistent from one paragraph to the next.
The characters were immature. I hate it when they say one thing, come to a earth shattering conclusion,or make a decision, and then a scene or two later they are debating it again. I also didn’t think their “love” was all that epic, given how easily/quickly they hoped into bed with other people.
Although I did guess who the villain was, it was a great twist. The suspense, clues, and reveal were well done.

OMG, what a roller coater of a series. How Olivia didn't end up in a mental institution with everything that went on I don't know. I felt so sorry for her, she never had any luck. Although, Alex had the patience of a saint, I don't know if many men could have put up with Olivia leaving all the time regardless of the reasons, but then he has loved her all his life! It's a brilliant story line, I never saw the twists coming at all. So glad I read it!!

I had to!
Why did I read it? 1. I bought the series for $.99 so I read the first book. 2. I got sick and was bored. 3. Again I was bored and I wanted to know what happened.
Ok, Olivia got on my f-ing nerves! She's a runner.... from her life, her friends, her responsibilities, from everything throughout this entire series! Storyline: 2 Heat 2 Overall: 2 Recommend: Nope but that is just me.

I am having a hard time grasping that I read the same thing that the 5star reviewers did. If I type a bad review, it is because there was just too many things wrong about it. I try not to be critical, I am not a writer... but seriously. WHAT THE HELL WAS THIS!!!
NO. I do not recommend this series.....Even if it is free!

Read this series non stop. The only reason it got a 4 star instead of a 5 star is because I feel that it was a little drawn out Don't get me wrong. I loved it but at times almost stopped reading it because one of the characters completely frustrated me. No spoilers. Overall though it was a great story and loved it.

Amazing
This is one of the best books I have ever read. It will have you laughing and crying. There is so much that goes o. You will not be able to put it down. The obstacles they go through to finally be together is very well written. I would recommend this book to everyone.

The storyline was drug out through three books and could have been condensed down in to two. I did like the characters and am waiting to find out if Cam finds the women that is meant for him.

A mess.....
Storyline had potential but there was a lot of back and forth drama. Honestly Olivia was incredibly immature and down right annoying at times.

Can't put it down
So, I originally started reading this because I wasn't able to shut my brain down one night and needed to try and sleep. Boy, was this a mistake/ not?! I wasn't able to put it down, and now life isn't the same because I'm done and feel like I just ended a great series. I had binge, and it ended! This trilogy was amazing! From the very first page, I wasn't able to stop! I was waking up early in the morning so I could start my days reading this book! It's one of those books you can literally watch play before your eyes! Seriously, you need to read this book!!! You won't regret it! I immediately downloaded the remainder 4 of this series!!!

Evidentemente ho sbagliato ad acquistarlo avendo sentito che a molta gente era piaciuto. Non dico che sia scritto male, ma non è proprio il mio genere. Tutta questa componente erotica è a dir poco squallida, lasciando perdere tutte le scene di violenza e di morte che si susseguono nel libro. Non sembra assolutamente un romanzo rosa o d’amore. Qualche aspetto è carino, ma nulla di che. L’unico personaggio positivo assieme agli amici di Olivia è Cam... Magari il romanzo su Cam sarà meglio , ma ne dubito

A beautifully written story about Olivia and Alex from early childhood being best of friends and first loves to being torn apart from one another to finally being together again. These 3 stories are full of happiness, first love, losing each other then finally coming together again under lies then trying to find their happily ever after. You will smile, laugh, cry, have rage and dislike. T.K is such a talented writer and author and with her words make you become part of her stories and characters. This will be a series I will definitely read over again and again.

punto primo: la protagonista è antipatica da morire. e non perchè è una donna che ha le idee chiare e non vuole una relazione, ma per il suo atteggiamento respingente in generale.
punto secondo: un uomo in completo grigio blocca uno stupratore armato di coltello che insegue la protagonista. dopo averlo malmenato gli applica delle fascette di plastica ai polsi. perchè tutti i nottambuli che non riescono a dormire si mettono il completo e vanno in ufficio a rivedere delle pratiche ARMATI DI FASCETTE DI PLASTICA IN TASCA NO?
ciao tkl o come caspita ti chiami.

Awesome Debut!
Reading the trilogy in one box has the advantage of avoiding the cliffhangers and knowing all the characters intimately. A thrilling story about secrets, whether or not hanging on to them, enormous emotional pain, that will change a person’s behavior, fights between head and heart, loving and letting go and a betrayal that is the worst of all. Many, many hours of enjoyable reading, some irritation, some laughs, some tears and a satisfying HEA. And it doesn’t end here! Highly recommended.

TK Leigh, you have renewed my faith in writers! I have not been that captivated by a story in a VERY long time! You literally have my mind and emotions in a complete uproar. I was going to sleep on this review but I am reeling and have to get my thoughts off my chest in hopes of curing the massive book hangover you left me with. I simply can not say say enough about this book. TK Leigh's words brought so many emotions off the pages and into my heart. She painted such a vivid picture, leaving no detail out. The plotting was spectacular. This is one of those books that would make a GREAT movie. From start to finish you could tell she poured her heart and soul into every single line.
Olivia was exactly what the title reads, a Beautiful Mess. She was strong as she survived something no child should ever have to survive, losing her parents, but at the same time she never really learned to move past it. She put up walls to protect her heart but she didn't see that she was really hurting herself. Olivia made no attempt to hide the fact that casual sex was as far as a relationship would ever go and she even kept her closest friends at an arms length. She was ready to pack up and leave the minute things became too real. Oh my, was she absolutely frustrating at some points. I seriously wish I could have reached through my Kindle screen, grabbed her and given her a good shake. She was her own worst enemy. No matter how content she felt she always let her fears get in her way.
Alexander may be one of my favorite male characters, ever. He was not only completely sexy but his heart was amazing. His love undying love for Olivia was breathtaking. Even as a boy, Alex knew that Olivia was the only girl for him and once he had her back he did whatever he had to to ensure he would never lose her again. I am not saying I completely agree with all of his actions, but he went above and beyond to show her how much she meant to him. It didn't matter what she threw at him, he was always right there to show her he wasn't going anywhere. His alpha male personality combined with his dominance in the bedroom made him so much fun to read! It was refreshing to see a man who would basically walk through fire for the woman he loved.
Olivia and Alex's relationship was a constant tug of war battle. And while reading it, your emotional state was in limbo. Their story was so complex; a story of love, loss, fear, trust and growth. The pain and love they both felt through out the story was almost tangible to me as the reader. And every time you thought they had finally reached a point of comfort TK Leigh rips your heart out and dose a little dance on it. You see, through the entire series Olivia seems to be in danger but with no real threat made against her. There are unanswered questions about her childhood and the person who held the answers was killed 5 years before Alex found Olivia. As the story escalates and more details surface I found not only my emotions in a fluster by my mind was a complete wreck. I just could not believe the things I was reading. The plot twists were undeniably earth shattering, not only to Olivia and Alex but to the readers as well. TK's writing style was so masterful. She gave every little thing such detail, it was like watching a movie through words. There was never a time that I felt like she left out something or could have explained the situation better.
She wrote amazing secondary characters that added so much to the story of Olivia and Alex. Olivia's best friends, Keira and Mo, are the kinds of friends that everyone should have. They understood Olivia's fear and while they never pushed her had no problem calling her out when they thought she was out of control. In the second book, TK introduces us to Cam, someone Olivia meets while once again trying to run from her feelings. He is absolutely smitten with Olivia but cares so much about her he puts her own needs before his. His addition was a breath of fresh air in a very intense story.
Every character played such an important roll in making the story what it was, even Adele. (rotten witch!!).
Again, I want to say this series was by far one of the best I have read. It is long and entirely worth the money. This was my first series by TK Leigh and I am totally sold. I have recommended this series to everyone I have come across in the past couple days. It has a bit of everything (including super hot sex scenes:)) so there is something for everyone but be warned, the deeper you dive into this book the darker and scarier it gets. There are some trigger points but she does give a bit of a warning in the beginning so proceed with caution. Anyway, I said it once and I will totally say it again, TK Leigh you completely destroyed my life during this book and I loved every single second!! Thank you for being such an amazing writer and THANK YOU for Mr. Burnham!!

Not worth it
I thought this book would be worth it with it being a series and all but it dragged on forever! I put it down several times and finally finished it and I think I just wasted time reading it all.

Too much sex
The story was wonderful but the drinking and sex was a bit too much. Will read more of this author but please clean it up a bit.

A must read a story.
This story had me feeling every emotion imaginable, laughter, joy, fear, suspicion, anger. I found it hard to put down and read all 3 books within a week.

I bought the series some time ago but when I started reading I had 6990 pages and a few days later I have only 5043 pages left. Probably some update but I lost nearly 2000 pages. WTF

I really enjoyed this series, I have had it on my kindle forever and only just got around to reading it, I should have read it sooner!!
