Beautiful Redemption By Jamie McGuire





If A Maddox boy falls in love, he loves forever. But what if he didn't love you, first? 

No-nonsense Liis Lindy is an agent of the FBI. Deciding she is married only to her job, she breaks off her engagement and transfers from Chicago to the field office in San Diego. She loves her desk. She is committed to her laptop. She dreams of promotions and shaking hands with the director after cracking an impossible case. 

Special Agent in Charge Thomas Maddox is arrogant, unforgiving, and ruthless. He is tasked with putting away some of the world’s toughest criminals, and he is one of the best the Bureau has to offer. Though, as many lives as he’s saved, there is one that is beyond his reach. Younger brother Travis is faced with prison time for his involvement in a basement fire that killed dozens of college students, and the media want a conviction. Travis’s only savior is his unusual tie to the mob. In a deal that will spare his brother, Thomas has agreed to recruit Travis into the FBI. 

Liis is stubborn, defiant, and yet somehow softens Thomas’s rough edges, making her the perfect agent to accompany him to the ceremony. Posing as a couple, they must travel to Travis & Abby’s beach vow renewal and give him the news, but when the pretending ends, she finds herself wondering if they were pretending at all. 

In the second installment of the Maddox Brothers books, experience firsthand the mysterious world of the elusive Thomas Maddox, and how good love can be when you’re not the first, but the last. 



Book two in the Maddox brother series and have to say, I'm soooooo disappointed. I felt like it dragged and Liis repeated herself far too much. 
I'd had to do a little catch up with the book before because of the books been published so far apart, or because of the fact I've read a billion in between LOL 

Anyway.... 
She's the new agent who moves to a new town far away from her ex fiance who she didn't even love. She's not your typical girl. She's stubborn, feisty and funny at times. She's also naive when it comes to certain things. 
Liis and Thomas end up in bed with each other twenty minutes after meeting each other. The they have a surprise on Liis's second day of starting in her new office..... Thomas is her boss. 

As the story involved Travis I had hoped he would have been in it more. He wasn't. I felt like the story dragged trying to get him to stay out of prison and to work undercover for the ending to be over so fast. We don't get to see the takedown, get a full story or anything. It felt completely rushed. 

One minute Liis didn't want anything to do with Thomas because he still loved his ex, even though he had told her that he loved her numerous of times. Which kind of annoyed me. Neither were listening and the other thing is where the hell did the love come from?????????????? 
They barely spoke to each other unless it was at work. I understood they had sexual chemistry but LOVE?? Nope, didn't feel that between um. So was kind of annoyed about it. 
I love the Maddox brothers and to me Thomas had always been a mystery. 

2.5* I'm hoping the next one will be better. xxx
