Beauty Series Review

They agreed on three months...but their love knew no boundaries.

Jack McLachlan is a winemaking magnate and easily one of Australia’s most eligible bachelors. His success and wealth make him no stranger to the complications of romantic relationships and that’s why he goes to extreme measures to avoid the hassle. He prefers simplicity in the form of a beautiful female companion with no strings attached. He arranges relationships like business deals and they’re always the same. No long term relationships. No real names.

It’s his game and his rules. He’s content to play as usual, but when Laurelyn Prescott enters his life, his strategy must change because this player is like none he's ever encountered. His world is turned on its head after he begins a three month affair with the beautiful American musician. Nothing goes according to plan and as he breaks more and more of his own rules for her, she’s exceptionally close to becoming something he never thought possible. His ultimate game changer.

Not recommended for younger readers due to sexual content and language.

This is book one of the beauty series.  READ THEM IN ORDER!!  Otherwise, you will have spoilers and will be very upset!  Jack McLachlan prefers exclusivity with a beautiful woman with no commitment, nothing long term, no real names.  These relationships are like business arrangements.  “I’m a very wealthy man.  The three months we spend together would be the best of your life.  You’d never be able to top what you’d experience with me.”  “I’d make your fantasies a reality.”  My first question was where do I sign up? 

This is his game, he makes the regulations.  He is up for usual game, until Laurelyn Prescott shows up and he has to rethink his strategy.  He has gone against so much he has tried to hide in the past and prevent from happening.  Will she end up being the ultimate game changer? 

Laurelyn has just come out of a bad relationship.  Is what Jack is offering just what she needs to take her mind away and start her 3 month vacation off right?  Or will she accept his proposal to spend 3 months with Jack?

I loved this book because of the sexual content and language that is not recommended for younger readers.  I thought Jack was a real jerk, and who does he think he is?  Everyone compares every billionaire book they read to Fifty Shades of Grey because it has forever set precedence, but this is not the same story line.  You may think you know what is going to happen, but you don’t.  Yes, Jack is rich, and he wants to dominate Laurelyn, but is she submissive?  I only gave this book 4 stars because I was left with a cliffhanger, those really make me mad.  I was given the opportunity to read the entire series together.  So I highly recommend getting all three books at once so once you finish one, you can immediately start the next one so you aren’t mad for long.  My theory on cliffhangers is, why give them?  If you love a story that much, you are going to get the next book regardless.  Why leave me hanging to get to the next one?  I promise you still intrigued throughout the entire book.  

How do you move on when he’s every song you sing?

After Laurelyn Prescott walks away from the love of her life, she returns to Nashville to pursue the only dream she has left. Determined to find a distraction from the pain of losing Jack Henry, she immerses herself in her music. But with her old life comes old acquaintances and new expectations. When Laurelyn refuses her record producer’s outrageous demands, she finds herself without a career—until an unforeseen opportunity presents itself. From there it’s a rocket ride straight to the top where Laurelyn finds the success she’s always dreamed of. Will it be enough to bring her the happiness she so deserves, or will the absence of Jack Henry leave her wanting more?

Jack Henry McLachlan never expected to fall in love with Laurelyn Prescott—but he did. After he foolishly let her slip through his fingers, he spends three months searching for her, but their reunion doesn’t come easy. The woman he finds isn’t the same one who drifted away without a goodbye. No longer an insecure girl on an Australian adventure, this Laurelyn is a successful musician with a promising career. Her dreams are becoming a reality, and Jack is terrified his American girl won’t have a place for him in her new life. With only a month to convince her otherwise, will it be enough time to make her visualize a life beyond the glitz and glamour, a life that includes him?

This is book 2 in the Beauty Series and I highly recommend reading them in order to avoid spoilers. Laurelyn returns home, walking away from the love of her life. She is set on finding something to take her mind of Jack Henry. She occupies her time with her music. Old relationships bring in new expectations. She refuses an opportunity she had always dreamed about, only to find a new door open with an even better prospect for the future. Will her career take precedence to her heart desires? Or will wanting Jack Henry supersede her career?  "How do you move on, when he's every song that you sing?"

Jack Henry McLachlan never expected to fall in love. But he let her slip away. After searching for her for 3 months, their reunion is not what he expected. She is a top musician with a skyrocketing career. Will he be able to convince her to come home to him or is her home on the road with the band? He has one month to influence her decision on what he thinks is best for her and what he wants. But do they both want the same thing?

Again I gave this book 4 stars. I was left with another cliffhanger on what decision she was going to make. Will she choose her career or her heart’s desires? Make up sex is the best, whether you are making up for time apart, or attempting to get back together. Jack Henry is a marathon man. Everyone woman desires to have half of what Jack Henry has to offer. This was another awesome read. I highly recommend proceeding to book three to get an end to these two cliffhangers.

The epic romance between an all-American beauty and her Aussie continues in this final installment of The Beauty Series.

Jack McLachlan is fulfilled by more than he dared to dream possible. He finds everything he never knew he wanted—or needed—in Laurelyn Prescott, his last and final companion. Life is beautiful with his beloved by his side but their post-wedded bliss is cut short when his dark past springs into their present happiness. He wants to shelter Laurelyn but keeping her untainted by his previous life proves impossible when yesterday’s sins insist on returning to haunt him. Will it be possible for them to find happiness in their forever with a past like his?

Beauty From Love is an adult contemporary novel and is not intended for younger readers due to mature content.

This is book 3 of the beauty series and the conclusion to Jack Henry & Laurelyn Prescott’s story.  Jack Henry had no idea that his last arrangement would be his final one.  Will a three month promise turn into forever?  Everyone has skeletons in their closet, but Jack Henry’s knows no boundaries and seem to keep appearing.  Will their love trump all of their past events?  Who will prove themselves stronger in the relationship? 

There is a lot of drama, happiness, and sadness in this story.  Your emotions will be all over the place.  Will having the one you love by your side be enough?  Will Laurelyn still want to pursue her music career?  I gave this book 5 stars for giving me a finale to my cliffhangers and all the hot honeymoon sex.  Laurelyn and Jack Henry are an amazing couple and their story is definitely not Christian and Anastasia.  So indulge in this series, IN ORDER, and see for yourself. 

“You were once my beauty from pain, before you became by beauty from surrender. Now you've adapted into something different again."
"And what is that?"
"My beauty from love... Forever.”
