Beautiful Sacrifice
This is the first of the twin's story - Taylor. Taylor is not someone we get much of in this book, as it is told from Falyn's perspective, but he is definitely all Maddox.
Falyn Fairchild is running from her past. She is running from a life of being controlled. She is running for a chance to be free. For a chance to be herself.
With her life calming down as she waits tables at a local cafe in a touristy area, and gets to live in the small apartment upstairs, she slowly works towards her goal of getting closure. If you can call it that. Scars like this never heal completely, but they can get better.
In walks Taylor Maddox one day, with a few local firefighter buddies to grab some lunch. Falyn has spent much too long throwing up walls to let her defences drop over some cute dimples and gorgeous eyes though.
Unfortunately for those defences, Maddox boys do not give up when they know what they want.
and what Taylor wants, even though she drives him crazy, is Falyn.
Being pushed and pulled in every which way, these two are so not right for each other, that they are perfect together.
Falyn needs to be sure though. Once Taylor knows her secrets, she needs to know if he still can love her. If he still can need her. Doing what she thinks is best for him might be the thing that ends up burning both of them. Sacrifices will be made. Some sacrifices are worth it though.
This story is going 8 different ways to Sunday. There is a lot going on, a lot is revealed, and I was surprised at how McGuire took their story (and kind of ticked off). Life is messy though, and messes come in all shapes and sizes. People make mistakes but mistakes are subjective. Falyn is sharp and just as much of a smart ass as any Maddox boy needs, but she's less intense than the others. There was a different feel to this one that I can't describe - not to say it's bad compared to the others by any means, but their story (and her story) reads differently than the rest. We don't see as much Taylor as I'd have liked, but that's circumstantial. Their story teaches us how love can survive over distance. If you want something, you work for it. You jump, or hop, and you hold on to it. You make the sacrifices you need to make.
and even some you don't want to.
