***4 ‘You’re the Tide’ Stars***
I must admit that Belmont and Sage have been the two characters that intrigued me the most throughout the series because their relationship is so tense and...unique. With each book I made note of anything that could give me a clue into what was going on with them, but no solid answers were given. So, yes, I was all kinds of excited to get my hands on Too Beautiful to Break to FINALLY get some answers, and for them to FINALLY get their HEA, and what a ride it was. I wasn’t prepared for what was revealed, but it totally worked, especially when you look at just who Sage and Belmont are, and I loved experiencing each step in the evolution of not only their relationship, but themselves as individuals.
I’ve really liked Belmont and Sage throughout the series, but it was more in the context of their unique relationship rather than as individuals, so finally learning about who they are separately from each other was an enjoyable, though heartbreaking, journey. They’ve both experienced darkness and have done what they deemed was best for themselves and those around them to pretend it never existed. So when they have no choice but to face it, things get very interesting. It was absolutely fascinating to watch as they confronted their issues and how it brought out their real selves and transformed them into the people they were always meant to be. The process was sweet, smexy, frustrating and pulled out all the feels and I really liked where they were at in the end.
If you haven’t read any of these books, I highly recommend that you read all of the books in order ~ you don’t have to, they can be read as standalones, but it would definitely be worth your while since this series isn’t just about the romance, but about the growth and evolution of the relationships between the Clarkson siblings. This was a fun and smexy series, with well written and unique character. I enjoyed being apart of each of their journies and really liked where they were all at in the end.

Tessa Bailey is originally from Carlsbad, California. The day after high school graduation, she packed her yearbook, ripped jeans, and laptop, and drove cross-country to New York City in under four days. Her most valuable life experiences were learned thereafter while waitressing at K-Dees, a Manhattan pub owned by her uncle. Inside those four walls, she met her husband, best friend, and discovered the magic of classic rock, managing to put herself through Kingsborough Community College and the English program at Pace University at the same time. Several stunted attempts to enter the work force as a journalist followed, but romance writing continued to demand her attention.
She now lives in Long Island, New York with her husband and daughter. Although she is severely sleep-deprived, she is incredibly happy to be living her dream of writing about people falling in love.
