Fresh out of college, Ellison Edson has fallen through the cracks of rock bottom. While staying in her family’s vacation home in Colorado, her behavior has finally gained the attention of her parents—but not in the way she hoped. Cut off from the millions she’s always taken for granted, and left alone to fend for herself, Ellie spirals further out of control, making a mistake she can’t take back.
Like his twin brother Taylor, Tyler Maddox is a member of the Alpine Hotshots, fighting wildland fires on the frontline. As arrogant as he is charming, Tyler’s nomadic lifestyle makes it easy to contain his relationships to one night. When he meets Ellie at a local party during off-season, her extreme personality and dismissive attitude fascinates him at first, but as his feelings deepen, Tyler realizes that the crippling inner demons of the woman he loves might be the strongest enemy any Maddox has ever faced.



I will say this is probably my least favourite in the series i don't know why i couldn't connect to Ellie she is so different from characters i usually read, i did enjoy it though McGuire's writing as usually was on point so it wasn't all bad it was just Ellie's character i hated, and even some of the other characters we have seen and loved over the previous books seemed off i don't know if that was just my mood at the time. So in a couple of months i will re-read this book/Series and see if my opinion will change.

I did give this book a 4 Flag rating because if i took out Ellie's behaviour and attitude it would have been a 5 flag rating, the problems she goes through feel very real to the reader especially if you have seen someone go through it, its written in a way that is not glamorising it but like a cautionary tale instead and that was something i liked as well because sometimes New Adult books can blur the line between right and wrong.
also i will say there is a lot of repetition in the last 3 books of this series especially Beautiful Burn and Beautiful Sacrifice because they are set in the same time and the same place unlike Beautiful Redemption which is set in Californian. I really cant say much about the story line because it is so tied in with things i don't want to spoil. I will say if you love books about women trying to get their life on track and make amends for the past then this is definitely a book for. 

I will do a spoiler review sometime next month because I really couldn't say much about this book without spoiling it. 

Until Next Time
Happy Reading
