Publisher's summary

Fresh out of college, Ellison Edson has fallen through the cracks of rock bottom. While staying in her family's vacation home in Colorado, her behavior has finally gained the attention of her parents - but not in the way she hoped. Cut off from the millions she's always taken for granted and left alone to fend for herself, Ellie spirals further out of control, making a mistake she can't take back.

Like his twin brother, Taylor, Tyler Maddox is a member of the Alpine Hotshots, fighting wildland fires on the front line. As arrogant as he is charming, Tyler's nomadic lifestyle makes it easy to contain his relationships to one night. When he meets Ellie at a local party during the off-season, her extreme personality and dismissive attitude fascinate him at first, but as his feelings deepen, Tyler realizes that the crippling inner demons of the woman he loves might be the strongest enemy any Maddox has ever faced.

Loved it all!

Just as incredible as her other novels! Couldn't stop listening. Loved the depth of the characters and the storyline. Narration was great. Some of the pronunciations of the "s" sounds were very loud and sharp. Couldn't listen with headphones...first time I've ever noticed this being a problem but the audiobook is still worth every penny!

I love this author

Such a great read, keeps you wanting more, exciting and intriguing! all of her books are amazing!

Maddox family novel

Great narration Brittany Presley. You read the parts of the multiple characters quite well!! Congratulations on a successful narration!!

Good.

Hard to listen to such a anti-heroine. Hated the beginning. Almost DNF. But the story improved and I appreciate tackling a story with such an unlikeable character.

it is not my favorite.

Jamie seems more confident to describe sex scenes; however, this is the darkest story of all. Ali is too depressed and depressing.

Enjoyed

Yet another book I enjoyed it was very similar to Taylor story. Also, more erotic than any other that I didn’t feel was necessary. However, I love learning about every Maddox brother. Still an enjoyable book.

wonderful

what a burning 🔥 book that I couldn't put down. it shows things aren't always easy but love is true ❤

Beautiful story and fantastic audio

Ms. McGuire knocked it out of the park with this one. Loved the back and forth between Ellie and Tyler. The way she portrayed Ellie's character and the things she went through in her downward spiral to hit rock bottom was very realistic. I enjoyed every up and down, every laughable moment - and there were a LOT - and the seriousness tone taken just at the right moment. This book was everything I expected and more.
I also listened to the audio book version. The chosen Narrator was the perfect choice. if you are new to audio books or a a frequent listener, you will absolutely, thoroughly delight in listening to this one.

Great story!

Awesome story and great narration. Can’t wait to listen to the rest of the series.

Okay, but not as good as other Beautifuls

Beautiful disaster is in my top ten romance novels. This selection would not make my top 200. The heroine was a bitch, and I don't use that word loosely. She was selfish, difficult, crass, rude and several other negatives. You wonder what desirable about her. The hero was one dimensional, and wooden. Not Ms. McGuire's best. but readible.
