Beauty From Pain (Beauty #1) by Georgia Cates
They agreed on three months...but their love knew no boundaries.
Jack McLachlan is a winemaking magnate and easily one of Australia’s most eligible bachelors. His success and wealth make him no stranger to the complications of romantic relationships and that’s why he goes to extreme measures to avoid the hassle. He prefers simplicity in the form of a beautiful female companion with no strings attached. He arranges relationships like business deals and they’re always the same. No long term relationships. No real names.
It’s his game and his rules. He’s content to play as usual, but when Laurelyn Prescott enters his life, his strategy must change because this player is like none he's ever encountered. His world is turned on its head after he begins a three month affair with the beautiful American musician. Nothing goes according to plan and as he breaks more and more of his own rules for her, she’s exceptionally close to becoming something he never thought possible. His ultimate game changer.
Not recommended for younger readers due to sexual content and language.
4 out of 5 stars
I enjoyed myself while reading and loved the characters and the story. Great read!
Jack Henry and Laurelyn were fun and playful and I love their interactions and just how easy and fun they were with each other. They definitely had an unconventional relationship but I really enjoyed their development, together and as individuals. They've got great attraction and chemistry and a fun sexiness about them. I really liked their hot times! It was this really great, easy read.
I liked Laurelyn, she was spunky and had sass. I really liked Jack Henry as well, I liked his protectiveness, sweetness, and caveman ways. And hello sexy man! My feelings for him grew and grew and by the end I loved him! He made my heart melt. It was just this wonderful story with these great characters and their growing relationship that pulled me in.
I liked the other characters and their interactions, even the tension that it created. I enjoyed the animosity between Jack Henry and Ben a lot. This story was light on the drama, which always seemed to wrap up a bit to easily, until the end and then I was left so sad and wanting. There is a cliffhanger but I knew that going in so I was prepared. I am looking forward to continuing their story with book two, Beauty From Surrender.
The last paragraph was beautiful, bringing the title of the story into play. Just a great, enjoyable story.
