My Review (May contain spoilers, fair warning upon reading this review)
Beautiful Nightmare is the conclusion to the "Dark Dream Duet" and this is the continuation of our story that is complex dealing with our leading hero and heroine "Tiernan and Bianca" I was really curious to see where this one would deal with especially with some of the reveals that the first book "Dangerous Temptation" dealt with. I honestly still don't know how I fully feel about this duet lol I have SO many mixed feelings. While I was sucked completely into this duet and everything, and I loved the plot, the PLOT totally made this story work. However, the romance was lacking in this duet. Because I am sorry if the only time you are together, you are just having sex, the relationship is not going to quite sing to me. I need much more being portrayed and I understand the circumstances, I just was hoping we would see much more happening between them but sex just doesn't fix issues and that is kinda how this relationship felt to me. Now maybe I am blowing it out of proportion, but that is the impression I got from this story.
Now as for the plot, that was so intriguing. All the secrets left and right that are blended in here, and not knowing who is the true villain or hero was quite deep and really left me entrenched and hooked all the way through the story. And seeing our hero just fall for Bianca's little brother was so charming. I will say that overall I found this duet to be quite fun to read, despite the issues I had for it. And looking forward to explaining the other duet that this author has written.
