Amazing and intriguing conclusion to "Beautiful Torture". This book continues our journey with Caleb and Henley. It answer questions and fills in the details to these characters story.
Yes we continue to get steamy interplay which was lovely (wink wink). It also continues to delve into issues revolving around maintaining a life free of substance abuse and the loss of one's self through a life altering experience.
I cannot describe the emotional journey this book took me on and how I really championed for this couple. So that this remains spoiler free I won't continue on but I will say this is a wonderful book and a beautiful conclusion to Caleb's and Henley's story.
I highly recommend this story and you won't be disappointed. Happy Reading!!!

Sweet and heart-warming story that will tug at your heart. It is so nice to read about Caleb's story! The hard and rough guy finding love with the sweet and feisty Henley.
This opposites attract story is just what you need to believe that fate has a way of bringing people together. And what a wonderful way it is.

Ahhh!! I absolutely adore Caleb and Henley!! I wish there were more chapters! Their story is just honest and real and no unnecessary drama to drama's sake. I can't believe how much I despised Caleb in Twisted Fate and now he's one of my fav book beaus ever! <3

A sweet and heart warming conclusion to Henley and Caleb’s story.
Still would have preferred one full length book rather than two novella’s but like I said in my review of the first book it is what it is and the story really was a nice one to read.

Oh how I have missed Caleb and Henley. I was looking forward to this one, and I was definitely not disappointed.
When one is consistently looking into their past and is still burden by it, it makes the present a lot harder. That's exactly what happens with Caleb. Having realized he has finally found someone that he could possibly love, he knows he has to bare his soul and tell his secrets. Knowing it won't be easy, he has to give it a shot. He is dealing with so many new emotions. Emotions he isn't used to. Especially fear. Fear that once Henley finds out about his past, she will run. The last thing he can handle is losing her. Losing another woman he loves.
Knowing that anyday, she can lose her sight completely, and because of that, lose the one man who has ever came close to tearing down her walls to her heart. Working things out with Caleb, she realizes, is the one thing she HAS to do. As time passes, she knows she can't live without him. But when certain obstacles cause her to have to leave New Orleans, she can't focus on him and her. Knowing she has to face so much more now, and knowing she has to tell Caleb everything, she has doubts. Doubts he will still want her. Want them.
I was so happy that they both FINALLY put aside their fear to find their other halves in each other. I love this couple so much. I am so glad things worked out the way they did. Even though they have had so many bumps along the way. I believe it made them stronger as individuals but also as a couple. Even though I'm happy, I'm sad this is the conclusion of their story. :(

You Must Read Beautiful Torture First! This is the second part to Caleb and Henley's story.
We actually first meet Caleb in Emery Jacob's first book Twisted Fate. He was the person that we all hated. I couldn't wait to see how he would redeem himself.
There is always two sides to a story. Caleb definitely wasn't who we thought he was.
He has a very tragic past and moves to New Orleans to start over.
Henley also has secrets. She moved to New Orleans to gain independence. She was raised with a very overbearing mother. Of course her mother had her reasons for being this way.
In this second part of the duet we get to find out more about Henley's past and we get to see her come to terms with her past. She has some huge obstacles in her way but she is one strong heroine!
I simply can't get enough of Emery Jacobs. Her writing is so addictive. She can make you hate a character and then fall madly in love with them. She is an automatic one click for me! I can't wait to see what she has in store for us next!

This is book two of the Beautiful Fate Duet. Beautiful Torture must be read first. A remarkably written and developed novel with no plot holes. With compelling characters that are realistic with real emotions and flaws. Anot enchanting writing style. Once Henley Mathews decided to take control of her life, everything changed. Caleb Bonelli never imagined a life that included love. Henley changed all of that. She gave him hope for a better tomorrow. One huge complaint it was way too short. I am so in love with Caleb & Henley & wish there was more. I was hooked right from the beginning & could not put it down.A sweet & sexy spicy decadently delicious read. Get out your tissue box for this compelling tear jerker. A happy & sad ending to a beautiful love story. I have read all of this authors books that are published & every single book is a 5 star & this is one of my favorite authors to read. I highly recommend reading this remarkable series as you will not be disappointed.

Henley is now 24 and wants her own life without her mom on her toes every minute so she moves to New Orleans and meets Celeb both are hiding there pasts from each other but when they both finally confide to each other will they stay together? Drama and secrets and plenty of romance in this book. When you walk away from someone you love and come back with your heart on your sleeve will they welcome you back? Perfect ending to Henley and Caleb's story! 5/5 beautiful stars ****Reviewed for Sweet & Spicy Read provided for a voluntarily Advanced Reader Copy of this book ****

This is the second part of Henley and Caleb's story. You need to read Beautiful Torture first to get the first part of their story. In this part of the story, we get more of Henley's past and what her condition is and why she is in New Orleans alone. Caleb knows he's in love with her and wants her to open up to him. She is finding it incredibly hard to let him in. This part of the story is about Caleb and Henley sharing their demons with each other and seeing if there is a future for them.
These are two short novellas. I enjoyed Caleb and Henley's story, but there is still so much I felt like I wanted to know. I felt like there could have been a little more character development. Their story was a good one though and I enjoyed it.

Beautiful Forever is the continuing story of Beautiful Torture, must read in order!! It has drama, secrets and sexiness. It was beautifully written that you could feel the emotions coming off the pages. Caleb and Henley were genuine and perfect for eachother. Wonderful read!

A sweet and happy ending to Henley and Caleb's story. I wished it was a bit longer because even though they got their HEA, I would have loved to known what they had in the end. If you read this novella you will know exactly what I'm referring to. Anyways, it was a short, sweet and enjoyable read.

Beautiful Forever totally describes this book. Caleb and Henley have issues but together they overcome them with the love they have for each other. Beautifully written.
