Eleanor & Grey, an all-new beautiful and emotional standalone from Brittainy C. Cherry is available now! Greyson East left his mark on me. As the young girl who first fell for him, I didn’t know much about life. I did know about his smiles, though, and his laughs, and the strange way my stomach flipped when he was near. Life was perfect…until it wasn’t, and when we were forced to go our separate ways, I held on to our memories, let go of my first crush, and wished for the day I’d find him again. When my wish came true, it was nothing like I imagined. I couldn’t have known when I took the nanny position that it would be his children I looked after, that my new boss would be that boy I used to know, that boy who was now a man—a cold, lonely, detached man. The smile and laugh I had loved so much were gone, now distant memories. Every part of him was covered in a fresh pain. When he realized who I was, he made me promise to do my job and my job only. He made me promise not to try to ge...

My review: Speaking of beautiful, just look at that cover! It's simple, yet striking! I think it's gorgeous.
Anyways, my first thoughts when I finished reading were, "What! But what about...!? Noooo!" Such a cliffhanger! (There better be a second one Ms. Cat Mann)
I finished this in about 3 days it was so good! I loved all the romance that dominated the book, but also loved how Greek mythology and action was peppered throughout the story as well.
Ava was such a bad ass! She had such a tender heart but also could kick the bad guy's butts!
Her supporting characters were hilarious too. Rory (Ari's cousin) was always making me laugh and I especially loved August (her tutor).
The descriptions of Ava being surrounded by Ari's family were some of my favorite scenes. I don't come from a huge family like Ari, but I still love being surrounded by laughing family members and good times with good food. The story made you want to be there; to experience everything right along with Ari and Ava. Not many novels can do that (you're more of in a by-stander approach) but A Beautiful Fate sucked you in as if you were in one of Ava's dreams yourself.
Like I said though I hope there will be a second one because A Beautiful Fate definitely left me hanging! What's going to happen!? If you love romance then you need to pick this up this summer!
See you soon,
