Beautifully Done (Beautifully Awake #2) by Riley Mackenzie

Beautifully Done (Beautifully Awake, #2)

Perfect title, because this book.....this book was "Beautifully Done".  I'm sitting here writing this review after finishing the book, searching for the words to explain how much I absolutely, freaking loved this story. I don't want to spoil any of the important parts, and there are so many important, beautiful parts in this book. First though, you need to know that you must read "Beautifully Awake", the first book in the series to feel the full effect of the story.  I have to admit the story starts out a little slow, both books actually did - but hang on because you have to give it a chance - you have to give Asher and all that he is, and Talia, and all her beauty and strength a chance - you need to experience their relationship with them.



I do want to tell you a little bit about Asher because he is..... there is no one word
to describe him.  Asher is hardworking, sexy, devoted, loving, puts everyone else first, takes care of his family, dotes on his 5 nieces, a great role-model, has a kick- ass sense of humor......and when need be, he will give a good smack down to protect the ones he loves.  Oh, and let me not forget, Asher is an ass.....really, he is, ask all his friends and family...but he's the best kind of loveable ass there is!  And trust me, if you don't totally fall head over heels in love with him yourself by the end of this book - well, there is something wrong with you!!


I want to spill it all so bad, tell you about certain parts of the book that got to me, just share with you....but I can't deprive you of reading, and going through this experience yourself. I just want to scream at you "Read this Book!!!!". The story and the wonderful people in it will stay with you for a very long time.


Absolutely, one my top favorite books of the year!!

Beautifully Awake by Riley Mackenzie

Beautifully Awake (Beautifully Awake, #1) Beautifully Awake (Beautifully Awake #1)
by: Riley Mackenzie

  My rating: 5 out of 5 Sizzling Stars


       
Lili Porter hates the rain. Bad things happen in the rain. As a small town social worker dedicated to protecting children, she is forced to start over to escape her rural disaster. Determined to follow her father’s advice—head up and chin high—Lili finds herself in a new city, taking on a new system, this time healthcare. In doing so, she gets something she never expected, an intimate behind-the-scenes look at life in the hospital.

Lili learns that a surgeon’s hands have the power to heal more than physical wounds. And a prescription for truth can cure three years of sleep running and leave you beautifully awake.




Truth:   I loved this love story!! It had everything I love in it:


#1 - Possessive Alpha Male (oh yeah, who just so happens to be a hot sexy doctor, with his own skeletons in his closet!) who also happens to be very caring and generous.

     #2 - A strong female, fighting to overcome past heartaches, not giving up.

     #3 - Awesome best friends - you will love the conversations between Lili
             and Sierra, not to mention Chase's best friend Asher and their
             brotherly relationship.

     #4 - Hot sex scenes (this should probably be #1!!)

     #5 - A couple who truly love each other struggling to survive the past,
             forgiving themselves and learning how to live for today.

 
You definitely don't want to miss reading this beautiful love story.  I can't wait to read the next book that's going to let us in to Asher's life!!
