Brutally Beautiful by Christine Zolendz

Brutally Beautiful  ★★★★★

A deadly game of hide and seek. With blood still on her hands, Samantha Matthews is on the run, running from dark secrets and a man she prays to God will never find her. Running and hiding, just to stay alive. She had no choice but to run, to leave, to hide and forget about her life before. When Samantha believes she's gained enough distance from her past and her demons, she stops running, hoping to find her future in the heavily wooded area of the Adirondack Mountains, a place she never expected to encounter a man with secrets as dark and as sordid as hers. Kade Grayson is hiding, not from the demons after him, but from himself and from the entire outside world, wishing every day he could have just died. Arrogant and domineering, he’s tormented and terrorized by his past, seeing nothing good for his future. With the ghosts of his past still haunting him, he has exiled himself to a life of solitude, only living for his words and through his stories. Until her. An undeniable attraction, turns into hate and then ultimately obsession, an obsession that grows into a powerful story of love and redemption. Will the bond they have begun to build between them grow stronger than the tragedies that have scarred both of their lives? Or will they allow their demons to consume them? 


When I started reading this book I wasnt really sure what to expect. But I can honestly say this book blew me away!! I have read countless books about someone running from there past in hopes of starting over. this book is nothing like the rest. within 15% of the book I was already on the edge of my seat and not able to read fast enough.
Kade Grayson.. OMG!!... is so dark and mysterious everyone stayed away from him but i wanted nothing more than to run to him, hold him and love him. And god does he give good love!!... yes im quoting Whitney Houston.  
Brutally Beautiful is full of suspense, is well written and highly recommend. 5 plus stars all around!
