I begin every Jamie McGuire thinking, "I know I'll love this book, but it won't top the last one." and every time I am proven wrong. It's the same with the Maddox Brothers Series. I think the next brother can't top the last one, the next book can't pull me in like the last, and every time I'm blown away. Jamie's writing pulls me in from the very beginning and keeps me hanging on every word, until the last line. It never fails, once I start one of her books, I'm reading it until it's done. I know that I can't start one unless I have the time to finish it, in one setting. When an author has the ability to make you feel like you are best friends/family with characters, you know you're reading true art.
Beautiful Sacrifice is about Taylor, one of the twin Maddox brothers, who is a hotshot firefighter. He's got the Maddox looks, bada**ness (yes that's a word when it comes to these boys), sweetness, and heart. You fall for Taylor just as quick as you have the rest of the boys. He's funny and gives back as good as he gets it. He has his past hurt, and seems to hold back a little. However, it took one meeting and one girl to turn him into a "heart on his sleeve" type of guy. He falls and he falls hard. He falls forever, like a Maddox man always does.
"I looked at Taylor. He was a little too sweet, somewhat courteous, and even thoughtful at times, all safely hidden away behind his smart mouth and his tough tattooed exterior."
Falyn Fairchild is a tough woman who has been through something that has left her hard, rigid, even cold to some people. She assumes the worst about men, and Taylor is no different. Her relationship with those she works with is heartwarming. She loves with all her heart, once she opens it up. She has something from her past that she needs to come to grips with in order for her to move on completely.
"It was grief, Falyn. I haven't felt it since I was a kid, but I remember the helpless feeling when you lose someone. No matter how much you love someone, you can't bring them back. No matter how much you scream or drink or beg or pray ... a hole was created when they left. It burns and rots you from the inside out until you stop crying for the pain to stop and start accepting it as the way life will be."
That line broke my heart. It is gut wrenchingly true. We all lose people we love, whether by choice, death, circumstance, etc. and it's the same horrible feeling all the way to your bones. These are the lines that Jamie uses in her books, they are words that will be used for time to come. I will remember that line and I will share many times. I know this because there are lines from all of her books that speak to my soul, and Beautiful Sacrifice was no different. When a Maddox man falls in love, it's forever. He will fight for that love and do whatever he can to make it work.
I'm not sure I'll ever love another series as much as this one. I look forward to every book, yet I almost dread them. I know there will be a time when it's going to be the last of this series and it's going to break my heart. However, we've been given such touching stories for the brothers (so far) and I feel lucky to have read them. If you've read any of Jamie McGuire's books, you know she has true talent, so what are you waiting for. Click that buy button, you won't regret it!
