~ Excerpt ~
Olivia awoke from an afternoon nap, admiring the beautiful man sleeping peacefully next to her. She
glanced around the large bedroom, the duvet and several pillows thrown on the floor. A grin spread
across her face, thinking about the amazing sex she had with Alexander just a few hours earlier. She
pried herself out of his arms and went in search of a much-needed bathroom.
Grabbing her jeans and sweater, she threw them on before quietly walking over to the door, thankful
when it didn’t creak and wake up Alexander. After finding a bathroom, she went to see if his mother
needed any help getting things ready for that evening.
The house was eerily quiet as she walked down the stairs searching for Colleen. “They must all be
outside,” she said to herself. She headed in the direction of the back door, when a room off the hallway
caught her eye. She stopped dead in her tracks, a memory rushing back. Her fifth birthday. Her mama
had made her a cake in the shape of a Care Bear. She could have sworn she remembered her mama and
the green-eyed boy from the dream sitting beside her in that very room, singing to her as she blew out
the candles on that cake.
Turning, she headed toward the ornate dining room, the table and chairs all covered with sheets.
Walking around the room, she felt as if she had been there before, but that was impossible. She hadn’t
even known Alexander for a year and this was the first time he invited her home with him. Still, the
smell and sounds in that room were strangely familiar.
She scanned the walls and her eyes settled on a large picture frame covered with a white sheet. The
other portraits weren’t hidden. Curious, she slowly made her way to the center of the room where the
enormous frame hung. She gingerly began to raise the sheet, wondering what was underneath.
“Olivia, dear! There you are!” Colleen called out, startling her.
She jumped, placing her hand over her chest. “Colleen. I’m sorry. I came downstairs to see if you needed
any help, and I guess I got a little sidetracked.” She shrugged her shoulders, feeling guilty that she was
caught snooping around.
Colleen walked over to Olivia and placed her hands on her shoulders, trying to lead her out of the room
and away from the large family portrait of Alexander and Olivia as children. “I understand. It happens to
the best of us.”
“Colleen,” Olivia said, raising her voice. “Why is that portrait covered up?”
She stopped, turning to look at her. She hated having to lie to the poor girl, particularly when her
son should have simply told her the truth by now. He swore he would tell her, and she didn’t want to
interfere…not yet, anyway. “I’m sorry, Olivia. It’s just that whenever Alexander comes home, I try to rid
the house of any memories of…”
“Oh,” she said, understanding. “I should have known.” She turned to head back upstairs, her shoulders
slightly dropping.
“Olivia, dear!” Colleen called out.
She stopped and faced her.
“He loves you very much. I’ve never seen him so happy in all his life, even when he was a little boy.” She
smiled before retreating back outside, leaving Olivia alone with her thoughts about Alexander and why
the dining room in that house brought back memories of her fifth birthday.
Ramblings . . .
Wow...what a book! The whole series was just amazing, love each and one of them. Gorgeous Chaos was the last in the series but yet it did not disappoint at all, in fact i think it might be one of my favourite in the series. God, where do i start...IT WAS JUST AWESOMELY GREAT! It's got to be one of the most romantic, unbelievably love story i've read, every bit of the story was pouring with love and passion, not just with two couples but friends and family.
Alex Burnham, I didn't think it was possible to love him even more than from A Tragic Wreck, but i think i've fallen even more deeper...His love for Olivia, is just the sweetest thing and any girl will wish to find their own Mr Burnham that loves them that madly and crazily. A just a tragic fairytale but his you believe and listen to your heart everything will be on your side.
Alex and Oliver, are two couple that are truly meant to be together, after many twist and turns and bumps in the road they reunite but still tragic still follows them, with lots of uncertainty from Olivia with Alex because of her lack of memories of her past, she is yet to realise they both are bond to each other no matter how many years, distant or even danger is put between them, Alex will always be there to protect his Olivia even if Olivia doesn't quite agree with his rules and ways but he just cant' lose her again. They are each other's life.
The final instalment is even more thrilling, charming and nerve racking than the pervious two. I had such a emotional of a roller coaster, my heart sank a few times, and stomach as turning at lot the moment. The author really, bought out all the emotions and feelings really well, it feel like your right in the story, going through what they are. I loved it. you just can't help love each character no matter what.
The unexpected twist was a shocker in the end, i really didn't see this coming. I was so shocked and angry with the unexpected twist, which really took me surprised but it was good as you wouldn't see it coming at all. This book really does take you through all the emotions, loved every moments of it. I was a page turner from the beginning. You really have to read the first two to understand the story. Even though we waited awhile for this last instalment, once i start reading all the characters came rushing back to me, along with the story. Its a hard story to forget. I really is a must read series!
