♡♡♡He's going to give her a more Beautiful Life than she could have ever imagined!♡♡♡

    The audiobook for Beautiful Life by Brynne Asher is spectacular! I love the Carpinos so this is no surprise, but the narrator's are two of my favorites, Aiden Snow giving Tony Carpino that gruff, commanding quality I always imagined and Lauren Sweet lending a delicate, loving note to every syllable of Leigh Briggs. 

Leigh has been best friends with Gabrielle Carpino since they were little girls, and always felt adopted by her parents since Leigh's own Mom was less than steller, but Leigh has had to reach out in a way she never would have imagined when her soon to be ex husband damaged her in ways she never could have foreseen. 

I love Leigh's strength and bravery. Even though she can't see it, and has a hard time accepting love and kindness from other people because of all she's been through, she could have just laid down and given up. Instead she moves steadily forward, healing at small increments, even when others can't see it. I love her relationship with Gabby, Paige and Rosa, she's always so sweet, putting everyone else's needs before her own.

Tony is the perfect grumpy cinnamon roll, kind of grouchy on the outside but gooy on the inside. He has the best relationship with his sisters, even when they get on his last nerves, and making sure the guys they're with understand that they better treat them right.

Tony wanted his chance with Leigh a long time ago, but felt like the age difference was too much, and by the time he was ready she was... not. This time around he's not taking any chances, Tony's going to make sure his "Gem" knows exactly how he feels!

As always the side characters are a riot! I absolutely adore the Carpino family, they're big, loud and loving - just the kind of family I wish I had, all the noise and kids, they're just so much fun! 

Brynne Asher dealt with the very sensitive topics in this book in a kind and gentle way, ensuring that even readers with a history of this would not feel surprised with it.
