Review: Beautiful Oblivion by Addison Moore

Tuesday, November 19, 2013

Synopsis
From the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author, Addison Moore:

Some people just don’t belong together, or at least that’s the world would have them believe.

It was supposed to be just for the summer…

Reese Westfield comes from a world of old money, country clubs, cotillions, and expensive cars. She’s tired of dating Warren McCarthy just to make her father happy. Reese has long since had her eye on someone else, and this summer she’s determined to make it happen.

Growing up in Lake Loveless there has always been a strict monetary divide—there was the rest of the Lake and then there were the Waterman’s. Ace Waterman has worked for everything he has, and he doesn’t have a lot. He breaks his back doing grunt work while putting himself through college. He’s used to life passing him by.

Reese has loved Ace from afar for as long as she can remember. The summer of her freshman year she comes home with plans to land Ace in her bed at least for a few short weeks, and, if she’s lucky, forever.

Ace has loved Reese for as long as he can remember, but their friendship has never graduated beyond platonic, so when Reese comes home from her first year away and proposes the two of them have a summer fling, Ace is quick to comply. The rules: no strings, no expectations, just something hotter than the sun to set the sheets on fire.

But when their worlds collide, and neither of them is willing to admit to having true feelings, it becomes clear to Ace he’s nothing more than a dirty little secret—that the summer fling was just something meaningless to pass the time.

Reese wonders if she can ever stop trying to please her father, and it’s only through her mother’s letters that she finds the answers she truly seeks, but will they be the ones she wants to hear?

As summer draws to a close, Ace and Reese are still very much enraptured even though the time has come to douse the flame and move on—but neither one of them is prepared to leave this BEAUTIFUL OBLIVION.

Teaser
“Heads, we play Monopoly. Tails, we skinny dip,” Ace gives a dirty grin that I wish I could bury the most intimate part of me in. He’s been grazing over my body all night with those navy eyes, the exact shade of the deepest end of the ocean, and my insides have long since melted to cinder.
Skinny dip? I try to hide the smile threatening to bloom on my face. 
I’m addicted to Ace. No really, I am. In fact I think they should have rehab and group therapy for girls like me who have spent far too long worshiping from afar. Of course then I’d be forced to confess the constant pornographic reel I have streaming 24-7 about his rock hard body and that dimpled grin that steals a piece of my soul each time it ignites.


Tabby's Review 
Reese Westfield comes from money, she has the life everyone  wants. Clothes, shoes, cars anything her little heart could desire, except she is stuck in a relationship with Warren McCarthy. She feels obligated to be with him, since her father and her father are partners in business, but her heart has long belonged to Ace Waterman the boy people associated with money would consider unworthy or low class, but not to Reese... he is everything she could ever want and more.

Finally the summer after her freshman year Reese decides to take her life into her own hands and decides to have a summer fling with Ace, no strings, no obligations, no guarantees at a future with him, but that is not how things are supposed to be. Both Reese and Ace are determined to make the most out of their time together, both secretly hoping that the other feels the same way and wants to make this a forever deal and not just summer.

Things with Reese and Ace's summer don't always go as planned. Between Warren continuously trying to stake his claim over Reese, Reese's father and stepmother basically forcing her to be with Warren and both Ace and Reese being afraid to admit their feeling that are beyond obvious to everyone but each other.

When does obligation and social standing win over the heart? Can Reese and Ace finally open their hearts to each other before they are faced to live without each other? You must read Beautiful Oblivion to find out the answers to those questions!

If you know me you know that I love Addison Moore and her books. She was one of the first books I read on my Kindle application on my phone and since then I was hooked. On to Beautiful Oblivion. I beyond loved this book. The chemistry between Ace and Reese. No matter what is thrown at them they both continue to fight for the other. With the guidance of Reese's mother ( you will have to read to find out) two hearts that long to be together actually have a chance. I was in tears during the "letter" scenes, and bawled like a baby when Beautiful Oblivion ended. No Cliffhanger and a Happily Ever After what more could you want.
