If You Leave by Courtney Cole
(Beautifully Broken seres, Book #2)
Book Synopsis: 26-year old Gabriel Vincent is a badass hero. Or he used to be, anyway. As an ex-Army Ranger, Gabe never thought he needed anyone. But after one horrible night in Afghanistan scars him in a way that he can't get past, he needs someone who can help him heal...even if he doesn't realize it.
25-year old Madison Hill doesn't need anybody...or so she thinks. She grew up watching her parents' messed-up abusive relationship and she knows there's no way in hell that she's ever letting that happen to her.They don't know it in the beginning, but Gabriel and Madison will soon develop a weakness: Each other.
But Gabriel's got a secret, a hidden monster that he's afraid Maddy could never overcome... And Maddy's got issues that she's afraid Gabe will never understand. They quickly realize that they need each other to be whole, but at the same time they know that they've got demons to fight.
And the problem with demons is that they never die quietly.

My review: 4 stars!!
As you read this book, remember there is a book before this one. It's called If you Stay (Amazon link). The books can be read as standalones, if you must. But the characters from this book appear in the first book, well, most of them. So, if I were you, I would read the first book and then read this one.
Okay, so we learned about Madison's family in the first book of this series. So, we understand the drama her family put her through and how her dad was and what happened to them. I really liked Madison immediately. She's the older sister and reminds me of myself. She was very easy to relate to and just wants to take care of her sister and her families dreams. She's always serious, hardly ever lets her hair down and has a good time. She does this time though, at least at first. She knows almost immediately that something is wrong with Gabe, she just doesn't know what.
Gabe is a military hero, although for him, it is his greatest failure. He has issues he needs to work on, but he doesn't know how. I want to warn you ... I was actually crying in this book. It has a couple of really sad parts, just a warning, bring tissues!!
I loved this book. I was very happy with the way it ended and I can't wait to read the next book in the series ... Before We Fall.
Happy reading!!
