Falyn Fairchild can walk away from
anything. Having already left her car, her education, and even her parents, the
daughter of the next governor of Colorado is back in her hometown, broke and
waiting tables for the Bucksaw Café. After every shift, Falyn adds to her shoebox
of cash, hoping to one day save enough to buy her a plane ticket to the only
place she can find forgiveness: Eakins, Illinois.
The moment Taylor Maddox is seated
in Falyn’s section at the Bucksaw, she knows he’s trouble. Taylor is charming,
breaks promises, and gorgeous even when covered in filth—making him everything
Falyn believes a hotshot firefighter to be. Falyn isn’t interested in becoming
another statistic, and for a Maddox boy, a disinterested girl is the ultimate
challenge.
Once Falyn learns where Taylor
calls home, everything changes. In the end, Maddox persistence is met with
Falyn’s talent for leaving, and for the first time, Taylor may be the one to
get burned.
My Review
Another good addition to Jamie McGuire’s Maddox Brothers series. However, unlike
the other books, this one fizzled a little bit for me.
In this book we follow Taylor and Falyn. Falyn is a waitress
with a past and Taylor is the hot guy who visits the restaurant she works at. Of
course this plot has been overused so very much in all of the romance stories
out there, but I still enjoyed it. Maybe that’s why this arrangement is used so
often—it works. I really did like Falyn’s personality. She was independent and
strong, and I think Taylor was able to compliment her with his jokes and
loyalty.
Even though I loved the characters, I had some major
problems with the accusations and some of the plot points of the book.
Throughout this story blame was constantly thrown onto Falyn for having
reservations about the relationship. I despised this because 90% of the time
Taylor was at fault. If this hadn’t have happened so often, I would have given
the book four stars. Taylor would also “forgive” Falyn for doing these
supposedly wrong things and that just enraged me. However, I did like the book’s
overall plot. I felt that it was a somewhat unique story for Falyn and her
scenes had me very emotional. I also enjoyed the ending and epilogue, despite
some of it seeming a little too convenient.
All in all, Beautiful
Sacrifice would have been my favorite book if not for some anger-inducing
scenes. Will this stop me from reading the fourth book? Heck no.
*Note: I purchased
a copy of this book for myself. This in no way affected my opinion/review.
