Hiding behind the anguish from my past, my coyness seeps off of me like an aroma. I have felt like a stranger in my own skin, trying to claw my way out for far too long, allowing very few people to see past my façade…until my eyes met with his. I felt a sudden rush of energy all the way to my core. It jolted me in ways I never thought possible.
Never in a million years would I have expected to be in the mess I am today. It all leads back to the night Parker Porter turned my world upside down. The night his hazel eyes undressed me, peeling away the layers of the woman I tried so hard to be. He awoke desires that burned deep within me and changed me in one quick glance, leaving me vulnerable and exposed, picking up the shattered pieces of my carefully constructed life…a life I should not be living…a life I was not born into, but placed into by the state of Maine.
Parker opened a door that I am far from closing until I have answers and am able to face the life I was destined to live. I just have to decide if his love is worth the mess.
“They say be careful of the quiet ones.” –Grace

I thoroughly enjoyed A Graceful Mess by Nacole Stayton. I was sucked in from the very beginning and loved all the little twists and turns that played out through the book. This is the first book I have read by Nacole Stayton and it will not be the last!! Grace was a bit of an enigma to me. I was dying to know all her secrets; even the secrets she didn’t seem to know her self. I found her to be likeable but I didn’t quite love her. Parker on the other hand, holy hotness!!! I absolutely loved him. I loved how strong yet sensitive he was. He could dominate one minute but completely show every emotion the next. He oozed that bad boy sex appeal and still made you want to take him home to your parents. I really did root for a happy ending for both characters and loved the wild ride I was taken on. If you are looking for a little agnsty, fast paced, hot read then A Graceful Mess will be perfect for you!
