Lindsay's Experience:
Christina Lauren’s BEAUTIFUL SECRET is a refreshing read for those
looking to wander a bit from the classic romance story. You might as well
forget the regular storyline of a damsel in distress overcoming her
emotional baggage with the help of a knight in shining armor. Instead,
this book tells the tale of a knight battling his own past with the help of a
young, quirky… intern? Did I mention this knight is British?
"There was
something about Niall Stella that made you want to watch him. Not because he
was boisterous or loud, but because he wasn't. there was a quiet confidence
about him, a way he carried himself that demanded attention and respect, and a
feeling that while he wasn't talking, he was watching everything, noticing
everyone."
Ruby Miller has spent the last six months marveling over the
enigma that is Niall Stella. A man of high status, he holds one of the top
positions in the office for which she is currently interning. Her dreams of
Niall knowing her name soon become reality as the two travel to New York
together for a business venture. Over the course of a few days, Niall strays a
bit from his usual straight-laced demeanor as he gets to know Ruby. Even with a
crude vocabulary and rather graceless poise, Niall surprisingly finds her
charming. Ultimately, Ruby forces him to reconsider those pompous
predispositions he has toward people who are a little more disheveld than he
prefers.
"I wanted to
trust this tumbling sensation I had near her not because the feeling was
familiar, but because it wasn't."
Their constant giddiness with one another, combined with their
adorable back-and-forth, made for a much-needed escape. I'm not usually one for
far-fetched storylines in romance novels, but the vastly different personalities
in BEAUTIFUL SECRETS may have won me over. This entire story is a
rollercoaster of emotions as Ruby constantly tries to stop herself from
vocalizing every thought and Niall tries to figure out how to respond. If
you're looking for a true romantic comedy full of character quirks and awkward
(but adorable) laughs, BEAUTIFUL SECRETS is the way to go.
