\"Beautiful<\/p>\n

\"synopsis\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We\u2019re told at a young age that words can never hurt us, but I\u2019ve learned over the years that it\u2019s not true. Some words can break us so badly that we never fully recover from them. Goodbye being the worst of all.<\/p>\n

As a young adult I was forced to say goodbye to my father. Losing him broke me in a way I never thought I\u2019d recover from\u2026 until I met Ryan.<\/p>\n

Ryan Mitchell was the balm my soul needed to heal. He filled my life with happiness, love, and affection. He made me want things I didn\u2019t think I ever would, and the dreams I\u2019d said goodbye to years before didn\u2019t seem so lost anymore. He taught me to live life to the fullest, and open myself to love. I didn\u2019t think anything could bring me down from the high he kept me on\u2026 but I was wrong.<\/p>\n

Life sometimes throws us curveballs that we can\u2019t explain. It tests us and pushes us harder than we can ever imagine. I didn\u2019t think I\u2019d survive the crash, but I did.
\nSometimes goodbye can be beautiful and it was\u2026with Ryan.<\/p>\n

I received this book from the author for an honest review.<\/p>\n

Oh man!!\u00a0 The first chapter had my eyes leaking!! \u00a0I mean WHAT!!\u00a0 Chapter 1!! So needless to admit, this is a bit of a tear jerker\u2026hello the title should give you some insight to that as well\u2026\u2026.<\/p>\n

Our girl Rachel is a mechanic who has lost everyone she has loved.\u00a0 She has her garage and her bestie Kasey but that is it. She is closed off to meeting anyone because everyone leaves her. She is struggling to make ends meet with her garage and can\u2019t stand the thought she might lose it because it\u2019s the last part of her family legacy.<\/p>\n

Ryan is a pediatric nurse who is hiding his own demons when he meets the hot tow truck driver.\u00a0 He knows she is way different than anyone he has ever met and can\u2019t wait to spend some time with her even if he has to kidnap her to do it\u2026LOL<\/p>\n

Ryan and Rach are two peas in the same pod.\u00a0 They both have tragedy to overcome and this helps to forge a bond together.\u00a0 When Rach finds out Ryan\u2019s big secret she is a mess.\u00a0 She can\u2019t handle it.\u00a0 She just can\u2019t deal with the possibility of losing someone she loves again.\u00a0 The couple go through a gambit of emotions dealing with the new struggle they have in front of them.\u00a0 When Rach goes outta her way to help the love of her life, she may end of causing more trouble than good for Ryan.<\/p>\n

Ok like I said\u2026TEARY EYES!!\u00a0 The first chapter I tried to read at work and quickly slammed my book shut.\u00a0 That is a no go\u2026\u2026The first chapter sucks you in to the heart of Rachel and her fear of abandonment completely.\u00a0 As the story progresses we can see the internal struggle Ryan has to keep his secrets from Rachel.\u00a0 There were several times in the book that my eyes were getting leaky because this couple\u2019s love for each other is very strong and their commitment is tight but sometimes even the strongest love can be broken!!<\/p>\n

I received a copy of this book for an honest review.<\/p>\n

Tissues are needed for this read the Prologue got me. I was so not prepared I had to hunt the tissues down and fast then they didn\u2019t leave my side.<\/p>\n

Rachel suffered a lot in her 22 years after losing her Mom when she was little and then to have to make the decision she did with her Dad heartbreaking I tell you. The only thing Rachel had to hold onto them was her Dad\u2019s garage. But with bills & mortgage on the building she was slowly losing the last thing she had connecting her to her Dad. She didn\u2019t have much to believe in to fight for until she met Ryan.<\/p>\n

Ryan was a nurse and had carried a heavy burden around that everyone in his home town knew about. He wanted to find friends that didn\u2019t know his past and would like him for him. He found Rachel and their connection was instant. Could Ryan let Rachel in all the way let her know everything in his life? Could Rachel handle falling for Ryan and losing someone else?<\/p>\n

My heart ached for these two for everything they went through, for everything they were going through and for everything they would go through. This is a heart breaker from the start with the decision that Rachel is faced with. To see Ryan deal with what he is going through and seeing his relationship with his patient Jamie was a tear jerker. Ryan\u2019s Parents are a piece of work I cannot imagine parents treating their child as they did Ryan.<\/p>\n

This is a great story that pulls at your heart strings. My heart hurt to see all the heartbreak. There were so many Goodbyes in this story some were heart wrenching and some choked me up, but in the end it was a Beautify Goodbye.<\/p>\n

My favorite quote:<\/p>\n

\u201cRach, things don\u2019t always go the way we want them to, but how you react to them sets the tone for your life. Don\u2019t let the bad things define you. Turn them into good ones. Always live, and have no regrets.\u201d<\/p>\n
