Beautiful Redemption (The Maddox Brothers #2) by Jamie McGuire (Review)

   The second instalment of the Maddox Brothers Series, Beautiful Redemption introduces you to another Maddox boy. His name is Thomas Maddox, and he is one of the best and most powerful agents in the FBI. When agent Liis Lindy comes into his life it's changed forever. Liis is a business first women who will not put up with Thomas's crap and attitude.
   I found Beautiful Redemption to be a little disappointing. There was not enough tension in the romance, or in the plot itself. I found Liis to be overly obsessed with her job, and yet she still managed not to get much work done in the novel. She didn't solve one mystery, or do much at all besides translate two things and obsesses over her love life with her boss, Thomas. Now, I don't think that the whole thing was all bad. Thomas was an adorable character with many positive aspects. He was very protective and loving to his family. Liis is a very independent and strong female character, which I liked. Past that, ultimately, I didn't love Beautiful Redemption and I give it the rating of TWO OUT OF FIVE STARS!

Beautiful Oblivion by Jamie McGuire (Review)

     I was so excited about this book, being a huge fan of Beautiful Disaster by Jamie McGuire... but after reading it I was really confused. This.This book gives me so many mixed emotions. I believe as a stand-alone book it could be a very good book, but in the shadow of beautiful disaster, it falls short. So reading it, I was expecting plot twists left and right, what I got was maybe one plot twist in all. And again, unlike Beautiful Disaster, there was little to none action in the story. In addition, the main conflict is not very well defined or presented. Needless to say I was more than a little disappointed. On the flipside, the book hade very lovable and three dimensional characters like Camille and Trenton (the main romantic characters). I also enjoy the interesting backdrop with the romance of Travis and Abby from Beautiful Disaster. Very well tied in if I do say so myself. So all in all, I give this book three stars.
