Book Review: Beautifully Wrecked (Lake Haven Series #3) by Trisha Madley

 

Blurb

Harlow Layne has her life mapped out. Graduate college, marry her football-star boyfriend, and find the perfect teaching job.

But when two pink lines flip her world upside down, she realizes perfection is just a pretty lie. Declan,the one who promised forever, chooses fame, parties, and his own ego over her and their baby. So, Harlow decides to take matters into her own hands by getting a job at a gritty dive bar, determined to stand on her own two feet.

Jake Rae, her boss, her best friend's brother, and the man who growls more than he talks, with tattoos that whisper danger and eyes that see too much. He’s everything she shouldn’t want but everything she can’t seem to stay away from.

Jake’s life revolves around his bar and his need for speed on the racetrack. Love was never in his plans until Harlow walked in, all sunshine and sharp edges, completely upending his world. She’s chaos wrapped in innocence, a temptation he can’t ignore. When he finds out she’s pregnant, his protective instincts kick in. He wants her and the baby. A family of his own.

As Declan fights to reclaim the life he once took for granted, Harlow must decide whether to chase the future she always dreamed of for her son or embrace the unexpected love that could give her everything she truly needs.

A steamy, emotional small-town romance full of tension, unexpected love, and the courage to rewrite your own story.

My Review - 4 of 5 stars - 

This was an interesting story. Harlow made her mistakes, had doubts about her boyfriend, but she was determined to be independent, work the job of her choice, and raise her child her way. Trouble kept popping up, pushing her toward Jake, then pulling apart, having her doubt Declan, and so much more. Thankfully, she had a great support system with friends. Jake kept his distance from Harlow, tried to avoid her, all because he was afraid of his feelings for her. Illegal racing, ice storms, and secrets added to the story.

I received a copy through Enticing Journey Book Promotions, and this is my unsolicited review.
