Beauty from Pain by Georgia Cates

Book review of Beauty from Pain, by Georgia Cates.

Book synopsis:  They agreed on three months...but their love knew no boundaries.

Jack McLachlan is a winemaking magnate and easily one of Australia’s most eligible bachelors. His success and wealth make him no stranger to the complications of romantic relationships and that’s why he goes to extreme measures to avoid the hassle. He prefers simplicity in the form of a beautiful female companion with no strings attached. He arranges relationships like business deals and they’re always the same. No long term relationships. No real names.

It’s his game and his rules. He’s content to play as usual, but when Laurelyn Prescott enters his life, his strategy must change because this player is like none he's ever encountered. His world is turned on its head after he begins a three month affair with the beautiful American musician. Nothing goes according to plan and as he breaks more and more of his own rules for her, she’s exceptionally close to becoming something he never thought possible. His ultimate game changer.

My review:  5 stars!!

I loved this book.  I'm sure it has something to do with the fact that it starts with the girls (Laurelyn and Addison) leaving Nashville, TN and going to Australia.  I live in Nashville and any book that involves Nashville just draws me in.  Maybe it's the familiarity of it all.  But, I was drawn to this book.  And second, maybe it's because it involves Australia.  I've never been, but I know a few people from there.  I even dated an Australian for a short time and just thinking about the accent and imaging Jack McLachlan talking with that accent is like nothing else.  Women in general are suckers for accents, believe me, I am one of them and I witnessed its allure first hand.

The man is this story is so amazing, you can't help but fall in love him.  And the woman is just a young woman who is trying to have fun and have an adventure she will never forget.  Boy does she ever!!

I couldn't put this book down!!  It ends in a major cliffhanger, so I was glad to see the second book was already out and purchased it immediately upon finishing the first one.  I will write a blog about that book next (I actually just finished it).  

Thanks again.

P.S.:  Keep your eyes out for the first "Meet The Author" blog tomorrow, H.M. Ward is up.  And she  does not disappoint ....
