Beauty From PainGeorgia Cates 
 UNEXPECTED 5 STAR READ 
 Very few books draw me in like Up in the Air, All In, Gabriel's Inferno, Bared To You, etc., but this book did. After reading This Man earlier in January, it was hard to find characters and a storyline that would keep me up all night, but thanks to Georgia Cates, I now have Laurelyn and Jack. This story had me riveted from the first page when Jack proposes an unusual arrangement to Laurelyn upon her arrival for a 3 month summer visit to Australia. She accepts and they embark on a HOT relationship. I won't call it a romance because neither one agrees to that, at least at first. 
 I loved the Australian setting but I will admit I had to look up a few slang words. 
 Sanger- sandwich 
 Oldies - parents 
 Coldie - beer 
 Brekkie - breakfast 
 Favorite quotes: 
 "You treat me like I'm somebody instead of a nobody." 
 "I've been wanting to devour this mouth since the first time I saw you." 
 "Jack, you don't always know the true worth of a woman's love until it becomes a memory." 
 There is a cliffhanger ending, of course, but the author treats us to a delicious Prologue. The sex between Jack and Laurelyn is super HOT but I really felt a connection between the two, thanks to Ms. Cates' writing. More Jack please! And make it quick!
