Relation In Favor Of Books If You Stay (Beautifully Broken #1)

24-year old Pax Tate is an asshole.
Seriously.

He’s a tattooed, rock-hard bad-boy with a bad attitude to match.

But he’s got his reasons.

His mother died when Pax was seven, leaving a hole in his heart filled with guilt although he doesn’t understand why. What he does know is that he and his dad are left alone and with more issues than they can count.

As Pax grew up, he tried to be the kid his father always wanted; the perfect golden boy, but it didn’t work. His dad couldn’t overcome his grief long enough to notice and Pax couldn’t keep up the impossible perfect façade.
So he slipped far, far from it.

Now, he uses drugs and women to cope with the ugliness, the black void that he doesn’t want to deal with. If he pretends that the emptiness isn’t there, then it isn’t, right?
Wrong.

And it’s never more apparent than when he meets Mila.
Sweet, beautiful Mila Hill is the fresh air to his hardened frown, the beauty to his ugly heart. He doesn’t know how to not hurt her, but he quickly realizes that he’s got to figure it out because he needs her to breathe.

When memories of his mother’s death resurface from where he’s repressed them for so long, Mila is there to catch him when the guilt starts making sense. Mila is the one…the one who can save him from his broken troubled heart; from his issues, from the emptiness.

But only if he can stop being an asshole long enough to allow it.

He knows that. And he’s working on it.

But is that enough to make her stay?

Weigh Up Epithetical Books If You Stay (Beautifully Broken #1)

Reviewed jointly on: http://totallybookedblog.com/2013/02/...Gitte: 4 StarsJenny: 3.5 StarsGitte: If You Stay is the raw, dark and beautiful story of Pax and Mila. I thought it was a real emotional ride that had me in tears one minute, laughing and feeling hopeful the next. Oh and I have to mention how I dont think I have ever read a book that starts the way in which this one does. Kudos to Courtney Cole, this Author sure knows how to grab a readers attention and hook you from page one!We have

I have a thing for bad boys. Omg do I have a thing for bad boys. And I like Courtney Coles new bad boy, Pax. Hes a bad boy for a reason. Pax is all hard and dark and broody and tattooed with a taste for drugs and alcohol to dull the pain of his guilt over his mothers death. He couldnt tell you why he feels guilty over his mom dying, because he cant remember much about her death, but he definitely feels guilty. And his less than present dad definitely doesnt help improve Paxs outlook on life.

Four Stars Shes like a breath of fresh air.I may be the Big Bad Wolf, but even wolves need to breathe. Meet Pax (the Big Bad Wolf) This was just the kind of book I needed. It was one of those cant-put-it-down ones that I often crave on my day off. Though this was a short read, it packed quite a punch. On the surface, its a story of opposites attracting. The sweet and beautiful Mila paired with Pax, the bad boy with an awful reputation. They first meet under the direst of circumstances, with Pax

4 starsTo say this book had my attention from the opening page would be an understatement (um, wow). More importantly, I am extremely happy to report that it held my attention all the way through to the very last page of the book. I started this book last night and stayed up into the wee hours of the morning because I had to see it through to the end. I needed to know. I have been in a bit of a reading slump as of late so I was very hopeful this book would break my meh streak. I was not

DNF!!! The summary seems very promising giving us hope of a angst hot tattooed bastard and even the first chapter gives you a lot of hope that the book is going to rockBut after that it just goes downhill.. Its not dragged I'd say, but its very DRY! Like nothing compelling.. very boring.. I couldn't connect to the book or anything about it.. It was pretty blah for my liking so hence I dumped it.I went ahead and saw that the whole drama was about, like the main story and stuff but even that

A little spoilery but no plot twists given away.So much promise from that first chapter... Actually, it wasn't just the first chapter, Pax Tate was beautifully written it was painful to watch him go down in flames. THIS is how you write a douchebag. Because I've been reading a lot of tortured, tatted and damaged heroes who are trying so very hard to be assholes. With Pax, it was just so organic and I have to commend the writer on this. It's not easy to write something from a guy's POV and make

This book is BRILLIANT!! I was lucky enough to receive an ARC from the author, and I can't wait for everyone else to read this. I will post a full review closer to release day.
