#Review of If You Leave (Beautifully Broken #2) by @Court_Writes #Published @ForeverRomance #Giveaway @NightOwlReviews

Ex-Army Ranger Gabriel Vincent is a badass hero. Or he used to be. Home from Afghanistan, Gabe can't stop thinking about that one horrible night on the battlefield, a night that changed his life forever. He knows he's messed up, but with the help of a little beer and a lot more women, he's keeping it together. Until he meets Madison Hill.

Madison is happily single-or so she thinks. After the tragic death of her parents, she took on the responsibility of running the family restaurant, and that's just about all she has time to worry about. Until she meets Gabriel Vincent.

Though they don't realize it at first, Gabe and Maddy will soon develop a weakness: each other. But Gabe has a secret, a hidden monster that he's afraid Maddy could never overcome. And Maddy is dealing with issues she fears Gabe won't understand. They quickly realize they need each other to be whole, but they have demons to fight-and the problem with demons is that they never die quietly. Can they find a way to heal the past . . . before they lose each other?

Biography

Courtney Cole is a New York Times and USA Today Bestselling novelist who would rather write than eat chocolate. She holds a Bachelor's degree in Business, but no amount of working in the corporate world could quell her urge to write.

Courtney was born and raised in Kansas, home of incredibly friendly people and the most horrendous weather on the planet. Because summer days were so hot, she grew up reading stacks of books... and when she didn't like the ending, she wrote her own.

Courtney loves hot pink nail polish, Mitch Albom and thunderstorms (not necessarily in that order).

She currently lives near Chicago with her real life Prince Charming, two sons, one daughter and small domestic zoo. To learn more about her, visit wwww.courtneycoleauthor.com

The author sucks you in with tragedy and hurt to get through, personal demons to slay, and a love worth fighting for awaits the reader in this wonderful romance book.

The characters in this one ignite the story like no other.  They grow through the book and although they have a long way to go.  They are follow their hearts and ignite their passions.

I really loved Madison and Gabe.  And as I started to really understand their story and why they chose the things they did.  I realized why both characters hid their vulnerability and cover their real selves with a mask.  But they find strength in each other to uncover their true selves.

This book was very easy to read and was not unbelievable.  It was fast and never slow. And it was so worth the read.

I am so glad that I got to read this New Adult title before its release. I will deff be checking out book three.

Fans of Kenyon's series:  I think you would love this one to. Even though there is no paranormal aspects each book is about new characters finding their way.
