Title: A Beautiful Kind of Love
Author: Ellie Wade
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Release Date: April 13, 2015
Every choice has a consequence.
I believe in soul mates. Why? Because I have one and his name is Jax Porter.
I have known Jax my whole life and I have loved him with every breath I’ve ever taken. The fact that we were born a mere month apart to mothers that are best friends has made us inseparable since birth.
What we have is so rare, one would think our story would be written, our fate sealed. But, unfortunately that’s not how life works. Life offers us many choices that can turn destiny into chance.
I now find myself heading toward a destination that I could have never imagined and I have to figure out where to go from here.
Will the choices that have been made change our path forever or will fate find its way?
Our entire life together has been perfect. We have had eighteen years of foreplay. I don’t need candles or flowers. I need you. Take me to bed and make me yours in the only way that I’m not. ~ A Beautiful Kind of Love
What we have is the absolute rightness of two souls born into this world to complement the other flawlessly. Everything that Jax is and everything that he does is always exactly what I need. ~ A Beautiful Kind of Love
I can’t compare what I’ve had with others to what I could have with you. You are my Lily. There is no comparison. ~ A Beautiful Kind of Love

This right here with Jax and me, our bodies and our souls acting on pure instinct and desire, is what I was made for. ~ A Beautiful Kind of Love
Rating: 3.5
I'm really not sure what I make of this one and I struggled long and hard with the rating.
Let me say this first: I loved Lily and Jax's story up to a point. It was a beautiful friendship to a being in love story. I liked how this played out and how they came together. They make sense as a couple.
The problem being you know that something will happen to test them or push them apart, which I would have been ok with if it was a good enough reason. It wasn't a good enough reason and that's when I started to become frustrated with the whole story. Jax was an idiot. Lily moved on too quickly. Jax gives up too quickly and so on.
It is well written and the majority of it is from Lily's point of view, with a just a couple of snap shots from Jax's. Maybe we needed more from Jax to balance the story more and to better understand his thinking.
I wanted to love it but came away just feeling ok about it and feeling like I'd missed something.
