Imperfectly Beautiful (La Flor Series #2) Blog Tour +Giveaway +Review
Book Title: Imperfectly Beautiful
Author: ML Rodriguez
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: January 26, 2016
Hosted by: Book Enthusiast Promotions
One woman.
Her rise, her fall, and her will to continue on...
At eighteen, I met him; a handsome young man with amber colored eyes, and with one look, he claimed my heart.
The world was at our feet, and we had our futures planned. But even the best-laid plans go awry when you’re blessed with a most beautiful surprise.
In a matter of minutes, our lives changed.
The years that followed were filled with change and adventure. Our life wasn’t perfect, but we were happy, or so I thought.
As I was living my dream, our life was slowly unraveling. The moment I stepped off that plane, my worst nightmare became a reality.
Now, I’m empty and lifeless.
I live in my own personal hell, drowning in my guilt and trying to forget the memories.
That is until a knock on my door changes everything, and I’m forced to face my past.
This is the second book in this series and they need to be
read in order to fully understand what is going on. This book is Julia and Andre’s story. It is beautiful, sad, haunting, and so much
more. Julia has wanted to play
professional soccer her whole life. She
and her family have worked very hard and finally succeed. She is at college to play soccer on a
scholarship. This is how she meets Faith
and Andre. Andre and Julia have an
instant connection. Their relationship
starts out a bit unconventionally but they truly love each other. Andre is in the Army and hopes his career
with go a certain way. Julia has big
soccer hopes and dreams. They are living
the dream or so they think. Things often
don’t go the way we want or wish they would.
Julia and Andre are about to find out just how wrong things can go. Will they be able to find a way to work
things out? I love Julia and Andre. This story is an emotional
rollercoaster. I felt so bad for what
Julia went through. There were some
twists and turns that I didn’t see coming at all. I was glad to get to read more about Faith,
Zane and the guys again. If you are a
crier I recommend you have tissues nearby.
The story is about overcoming things and not giving up. The characters in this series are fantastic
and I can’t wait to read more about them in future in this series. I kinda hope the next book is about Jax. ML Rodriguez is a great author. She writes a story that pulls you in and
makes you wish you could really be in the book with these people as your
friends. I am afraid to say any more
about the book and give away spoilers. I
highly recommend this series.
ML is stationed overseas with her husband and two children. Her obsessions include Luke Bryan, Brantley Gilbert, her mother's cooking (especially her breakfast tacos), wild berry skittles, coffee, dark chocolate, the color purple, and romance novels--the happily ever after kind, of course.
After years of comments from her husband to write and a chance meeting by the city pool where she met one of her favorite authors, ML decided to take a leap of faith into the amazing and exciting world of writing. Terrified, nervous, and with a stomach full of butterflies, she published her debut novel, Leap of Faith, and her second novel, Imperfectly Beautiful will release 26 January 2016.
To all the wonderful people who will read her work, thank you. Thank you for taking a chance on her. ♥

Excerpt
“Why are you here?” Breezy asked, searching their faces for
any clue. “Did something else happen?”
Connor swallowed, his tongue darting out, leaving a
glistening path over his bottom lip as he took her in. “You could say that.” He
propped his hands on his hips.
He knows. Regret
sluiced over her like a bucket of ice. “Connor, I’m sorry,” she rushed to
explain. “It’s not Carson’s fault. I kissed him—”
“It’s okay,” Connor said. He crossed the space between them
and stood in front of her, his hands cupping her face. She held her breath as
he leaned down and pressed his lips to hers, his mouth moving in a sensual
tease that started her pulse to racing again. “I want to see him kiss you
again.”
She opened her eyes and found him staring down at her, nose
to nose, his lips still so close they tickled hers as he smiled. “I—you do?”
Connor nodded, the tip of his nose brushing against hers. He
tilted his head, and leaned closer to her ear, the movement revealing Carson’s
position behind him. His eyes were dark, swirling with the same desire she’d
seen earlier that evening. “I want that very much,” Connor whispered in her
ear, the seductive hum of his voice sending delicious shivers racing along her
arms.
Connor sucked her earlobe between his teeth and lightning
jolted her from his hypnotic spell. She turned away and shook her head, her
eyes blinking away the sensual images his words conjured.
“Car doesn’t want this.” She raised her hand to clasp her
towel and… she looked down. She was still only wearing a towel! “Oh God.” She
turned in a rush for the bathroom.
“Wait,” Carson stepped around Connor and snagged her wrist.
“I have to get dressed.”
“No you don’t,” Carson said, stepping around her and heading
off her retreat. “Please don’t.”
She tried to step around him, but he moved with her, his
large frame blocking her. All she could see and smell was him, a spicy
concoction of male and muscle. “You said—”
“I take it all back.” Carson hooked his finger under her
chin and tipped her head back. She raised her eyes to meet his gaze and her
heart leapt. His eyes glistened with remorse as he lowered his head and placed
a gentle kiss to her lips. “I was a fool, Breezy. I regret every damn horrible
thing I’ve said to you, but if you never believe anything else, believe that I
want this. I want you, with every cell in my body.”
Connor slid his arms around her waist, his naked chest
pressing against her back. The heat of their bodies surrounded her, blanketed
her in a sensual cloud. “I want this, Breezy. We both want you,” Connor
whispered, his lips grazing the outer shell of her ear. His hand slipped
between the overlapped edges of her towel, his fingers skimming along the first
bit of her skin he could touch, teasing her with the promise of more. “Please
tell us you want this, too.”

My Review
This book was a great read.
I haven’t read the MC Sinners series but I wasn’t confused at all. Ava has grown up with the club and knows no
others life. She has her own place and a
job. Her boss is a creeper but all jobs
come with some down side. Life is going
good then one day leaving work she is taken.
She wakes up and learns she and another girl have been taken to teach
their father’s a lesson. Only one girl
will be allowed to live and that girl turns out to be Ava. She is found on a sidewalk by Lucas. Lucas is a detective and he takes her back to
his precinct to help her and get her statement.
Of course Ava can’t tell him what really happen and why she was really
taken. She gives him the closest thing
to the truth she can. Then she goes on
to pretend like she is fine when she isn’t.
She is sinking deeper into depression and knows she can’t continue like this. She is afraid to tell her father what
happened and how she is feeling because of how he will react. She doesn’t want him to feel guilty. Through this she finds a connection with
Lucas who is also broken. Will Lucas be
the one to really help her? How will her
family react when they learn what happened?
How will her father, the president of the MC react to his daughter being
with a detective? This book was so
emotional. Bella made what Ava was going
through so real. I almost cried at one
point and I AM NOT A CRIER. I was
completely sucked into the story and loved it.
Lucas is amazing. He has been
through so much himself and is broken as well.
At the beginning he fights anything with Ava, even just being there for
her to call or text. I think he felt
something for Ava from the very beginning.
Ava and Lucas manage to bring each other back. I plan to go back and read the MC Sinners
series. The club members and those
around Ava’s age are all great. I
laughed at some points and was wrung out at others. I look forward to reading the next book in
this series.
