Hiding behind the anguish from my past, my coyness seeps off
of me like an aroma. I have felt like a stranger in my own skin, trying to claw
my way out for far too long, allowing very few people to see past my
façade…until my eyes met with his. I felt a sudden rush of energy all the way
to my core. It jolted me in ways I never thought possible.
Never in a million years would I have expected to be in the mess I am today. It all leads back to the night Parker Porter turned my world upside down. The night his hazel eyes undressed me, peeling away the layers of the woman I tried so hard to be. He awoke desires that burned deep within me and changed me in one quick glance, leaving me vulnerable and exposed, picking up the shattered pieces of my carefully constructed life…a life I should not be living…a life I was not born into, but placed into by the state of Maine.
Parker opened a door that I am far from closing until I have answers and am able to face the life I was destined to live. I just have to decide if his love is worth the mess.

Grace had suffered something tragic that made her hide her
true self, she only lets very few close and even fewer know her secret. When she meets Parker it is almost like he
holds the key to unlocking her true personality, but he keeps pushing her away
every time they get close. Watching her
come out of her shell when around Parker was a great thing. At times, Grace acted immature when she would
find information out or something would happen.
She gets mad at Parker at one point, and while she did have a good
reason to be upset, she took it to the extreme.
It took something serious to happen for her eyes to open and stop acting
like she was towards him.
Parker wanted Grace from the moment he first saw her, but he
knew he had to keep his distance for more than one reason. He was hired to keep
an eye on Grace, he is a private investigator. He has a job to do and doesn’t
want to screw it up. Once Parker finally
accepts his feelings for Grace, he refuses to let her go again. He really is this emotional guy and what he
feels for her is strong. He screwed up
in keeping secrets from Grace, but he will do anything to protect her.
I liked A Graceful Mess, it did start off slow but it’s
worth reading the entire thing through.
It gets very emotional, especially when you find out what happened to
Grace. Parker I just loved, he was sweet,
sexy, protective, slightly Dominate in the bedroom and overall a good guy and
would love to have him at my side any day of the week. The emotional roller coaster you go on is one
you won’t forget. Make sure you have
tissues close by cause you will need them.
