How can you continue living when you're living a lie? How can you convince your body to stop feeling, your soul to stop caring, and your heart to stop beating?

Haunted by her past, Olivia Adler flees Boston for a beach in Florida, leaving everyone behind, trying to shut the world out. Remaining a relative recluse in her self-imposed prison, she tried to turn everything off, wanting to feel nothing. But a new acquaintance won't let that happen. After being away from Alexander for a month, his voice constantly running in her head, reminding her that her inability to confront her demons will not only destroy her, but also him, can she really be expected to want to feel again when it brings nothing but pain?

Back in Boston, everywhere he turns, Alexander Burnham is reminded of Olivia...His Olivia...He tries to dull the ache left in his heart the only way he knows how...in the bed of a beautiful woman. But Alexander isn't about to lose his Olivia. After a clue comes to light regarding Olivia's whereabouts, can he convince her to return to Boston with him?

When a force that has laid dormant for months resurfaces, can Alexander still protect her from the unknown danger? And when Alexander comes face to face with a shadow of both his and Olivia's past, will he be able to tell her the secret that is threatening to treat them apart?

MY REVIEW:

I was given an ARC from the author in exchange for an honest review.

5 stars!!!

T.K. Leigh you have just blown my mind. I don't know where to begin. After reading "A Beautiful Mess" I was dying to read " A Tragic Wreck" and find out what was going to happen with Alexander and Olivia; hoping that I would not be let down or disappointed. And let me tell you I was neither let down nor disappointed. I absolutely loved this book and can't wait for the third book. I could not put it down; I had to know what was going to happen next and get answers.

"A Tragic Wreck" picks right up where "A Beautiful Mess" ended. As we learned in "A Beautiful Mess" Alexander and Olivia are not together. Olivia has run to a beach in Florida wanting no-one finding her. Whereas, Alexander is in Boston, hurting and wanting to find Olivia. However, since the trail has gone cold Alexander is dealing with his pain and trying to move on the only way he knows how...reverting back to his old ways, no strings attached meaningless sex.

Olivia is trying to forget her life since meeting Alexander, stop all feelings and get back to her simple, uncomplicated life where she can't get hurt. However, she can't stop thinking of Alexander and then a sexy surfer refuses to allow her become a recluse or stop feeling. After months of having no clues to where Olivia had ran away to Alexander finally got a clue to where she may be hiding. Heading to Florida, Alexander is hoping he can convince Olivia to come home with him, remind her of good they are together, and how much she wants him.

Alexander still doesn't know the threat after Olivia, but he is determined to protect her no matter what, but will he be able to tell her the truth?

"A Tragic Wreck" will take you on emotional ride throughout the entire book. I laughed, got angry, was heartbroken, frustrated, stopped up with the romance, and drawn into the suspense. T.K. Leigh has an amazing way with words that make the characters seem so real and draw the reader into the story. It takes an amazing writer to be able to make a reader fall in love with the characters and feel like it is real and not fictional. I found myself getting so angry I wanted to yell at the characters because of their decisions, but then also swoon and fall in love with them. I loved how they expressed their feelings and how deeply their feelings ran. I couldn't be helped bring sucked in to their story and wishing for everything to work out and wanting then to be together. I wasn't then to defeat all the people that are trying to keep them apart and destroy Olivia's life.

The suspense kept me biting my lip and stressing about what was going to happen next. I love that a book can bring out so much emotion in me. I can't wait until I am able to read the third book and find out what happens next for Alexander and Olivia. There is so much that "A Tragic Wreck" sets into motion and I can't wait to find out how everything works out for this couple and get all the answers that haven't been discovered yet.

T.K. Leigh did an amazing job writing a second story in a series that not only didn't let the reader down, but is able to suck the reader in even more than they were after reading the first book. This is a must read book and series. You will not be able to put this book down once you start and you will not be disappointed. There isn't anything I was disappointed in our can complain about so this book is definitely a 5 out of 5. I just wish I could give it now stars that's how much I love this book!
