Beautiful Burn: A Novel (The Maddox Brothers Book 4)
Fresh out of college, Ellison Edson has fallen through the cracks of rock bottom. While staying in her family's vacation home in Colorado, her behavior has finally gained the attention of her parents-but not in the way she hoped. Cut off from the millions she's always taken for granted, and left alone to fend for herself, Ellie spirals further out of control, making a mistake she can't take back.Like his twin brother Taylor, Tyler Maddox is a member of the Alpine Hotshots, fighting wildland fires on the frontline. As arrogant as he is charming, Tyler's nomadic lifestyle makes it easy to contain his relationships to one night. When he meets Ellie at a local party during off-season, her extreme personality and dismissive attitude fascinates him at first, but as his feelings deepen, Tyler realizes that the crippling inner demons of the woman he loves might be the strongest enemy any Maddox has ever faced.

I wish i could do half stars.. this isnt't truley 3 star book for me. I want to start off by saying that this was a VERY DIFFERENT book slash story line. It came out of left field. The main character is Elli Edson, she is also a strong female, strong in the sense that she isn't easily intimidated by men, and doesn't back down quickly. I love love reading about woman like this. But without givng spoilers on this character, I will say she has baggage or a very very dark side. This is what threw me off the most, I was not expecting this at all. I had a moment where I am sure i looked like the surprised emoji face as I set the book down to soak in what I just read. And after finishing the book I'm still feeling quite scandalized. But at the end of the day I can only admire Jaime for going there, I haven't read a book with a female lead like this. It wasn't my usual, I was uncomfortable at first, thinking this would ruin my experience with her story. But with patience I did enjoy seeing Ellie grow emotionally, evolve in mind and spirit. I will admit, damn it took a while, but her journey was hers, singularly personalized and customated to this woman. I have no idea how it is to be with someone like her, it cannot be easy for Taylor Maddox. Which brings me to my next point, wow Taylor.... just wow. If anything my awkward reaction to Ellie's story only made me fall for Taylor even more... and even though i just finished Tyler's story a little while before, it refreshed my obession of "When a Maddox falls in love...." sigh.. yes... corny... I know.
So overall once I got to the end I did enjoy the journey of figuring Ellie out.. she is not to be placed in one box only though.. give it time if you are reading the story.. give it time.. It's worth it.
