Blog Tour: A Beautiful Mess by TK Leigh

What happens when you lose everyone that promised they would always be there for you? How can you protect the few pieces of your shattered heart that remain? Olivia Adler is a woman with a troubled past. After losing her parents at the young age of six and being raised by an uncle who she lost years later, she refuses to get attached to anyone, including friends. For the past decade, she has been able to remain unattached to any man, too worried about losing someone to get too close. Until Alexander Burnham walks into her life one night and changes everything. But he has issues of his own. And he’s keeping a secret that could change everything. Will Olivia let Alexander in enough for him to get close and protect her from a force threatening her very existence, or will she push him away, scared of letting Alexander in, in order to protect her heart? A Beautiful Mess is the first installment of a three part series sure to captivate the heart with a story of secrets, courage, and love.

My review

Olivia and Alexander have more in common than it initially seemed.
Meet the duo in a story full of lust, love and intrigue, a story that leaves you just that, all beatifully messed up.

A Beatiful Mess by T.K. Leigh, the first book in a series with just the right mix of romance and suspense.

It was a rollercoaster ride from the very beginning to the very end.
I knew I'll ride the wave where it takes me - the story of living a life without closure, without the who and the why, drowning in doubt and uncertainty.
Nevertheless and most of all it was a beautiful love story.

Imagine a lifelong affection harbored and nursed in spite of all reason, outliving the inescapable trap of our existence, the death.
I can't be easy...
When push comes to the shove, will you be ready to unveil the secret you guared to keep the person you love save?

Thank you, T.K. Leigh for writing such a touching, disarming story. It made my day and will stay with me for much longer.

T. K. Leigh, otherwise known as Tracy Leigh Kellam, is a producer / attorney by trade. Born and raised in New England, she now lives in Southern California with her husband, dog and three cats, all of which she has rescued (including the husband). When she’s not planted in front of her computer, writing away, she can be found running and training for her next marathon (of which she’s run over 15 fulls and too many halfs to count), or trying to convince her husband that it’s time to give yoga another try. Unlike Olivia, the main character from her debut novel, "A Beautiful Mess," she has yet to qualify for the Boston Marathon.
