Beautiful Burn is a New York Times and USA Today Bestseller!

Fresh out of college, Ellison Edson has fallen through the cracks of rock bottom. While staying in her family’s vacation home in Colorado, her behavior has finally gained the attention of her parents—but not in the way she hoped. Cut off from the millions she’s always taken for granted, and left alone to fend for herself, Ellie spirals further out of control, making a mistake she can’t take back.

Like his twin brother Taylor, Tyler Maddox is a member of the Alpine Hotshots, fighting wildland fires on the frontline. As arrogant as he is charming, Tyler’s nomadic lifestyle makes it easy to contain his relationships to one night. When he meets Ellie at a local party during off-season, her extreme personality and dismissive attitude fascinates him at first, but as his feelings deepen, Tyler realizes that the crippling inner demons of the woman he loves might be the strongest enemy any Maddox has ever faced.

Something Missing In My Heart

Reviewed in the United States on March 13, 2016

Beautiful Burn is the fourth book in Jamie McGuire’s series of Maddox Brothers. This story is wrapped around Tyler Maddox who’s also a seasoned fighter and fiercely loves his family, but like the other’s he’s considered a man-whore since he’s such a ladies man.

Elle is a college student who’s life is spiraling out of control like a wild fire. Her parents finally take notice, but not what she’d expect.  When these two meet the chemistry is instantly there. Tyler wants what all his brother’s have, but will that be possible when the one girl is determined to destroy it?

I am sad to see this amazing series end, but I love this book even more knowing that this was the last of the Maddox brothers. I have to say that Ellie slowly grew on me the more I read about her, but in the beginning with her being so rude and down right spoiled I wasn’t sure I was able to read forward.

  Tyler..oh man. What to say about him other than he’s perfect? Tyler is everything his last name carries. Strong, sincere,, headstrong and a fierce lover to family and friends. I’m not sure I could ask more toward the character, but Jamie McGuire has certainly proved me wrong. Not only does he put up with Elle, but he can see that this woman is slowly drowning. He’s trying to help, but you can’t help with the person isn’t willing to lend a hand.   I loved that she also included Tyler’s family in the mix and seeing Elle interact with the rest of the Maddox’s.   

The only thing I had a problem with was the way the story ended. I felt it was a bit abrupt and lacked a certain depth considering how in depth the storyline was. A few more pages would have helped the story ending in my opinion. But overall I felt like the story was well done and certainly got my emotions spilling out.

It's a compelling and riveting page turner that will be pulling at your heart strings.
Let me start of by saying I am a complete and utter mess.
Nothing could have prepared me for the end of the Maddox brothers series.
This can't be the end.
I can't even begin to explain all the feelings I have.
Devastatingly, Distraught.
I tried to hold off on reading this book but I just couldn't. I had to read Tyler and Ellie's story.
I loved Ellie! Yes, she's hard to love with her hard attitude and drinking/drug problem but she never once denied she had a problem nor did she try put that blame on someone else. In my eyes she was a REAL person that anyone with addiction could relate to. Truth be told, you don't have to have addiction to relate to her. Everyone has had some type of crisis that they have had to over come in their life and they have either trumpet over it or had plenty of failed attempts at trying to overcome it until they come to that point in their life where they are either going to keep being stuck in the same cycle or they are going to make the change for the better where they can actually do something to better their life. Who can't relate to that?
It was hard to read Ellie's journey sometimes because you were wanting to scream at her to not do something or not to even put herself in the situation that she knows what predicament its going put her in but ever one has to hit rock bottom at some point and overall she's a good person but she's just lost and needing help.
Tyler.. He's is a Maddox so he's a swoon worthy, alpha, that's hot as sin with a heart of gold and I am completely in LOVE with him. How could you not be? Tyler was somewhat trying to help Ellie, but it got the point where he was enabling her. He was watching her defuse and was just waiting for her to erupt.
I really enjoyed how you were able to see all the other stories at different aspects. It was an eye opener and simply intriguing. It made me want to go back and read all the stories all over again.
I would have really like to have some of the story in Tyler's Point of view, I think that was all that was really missing from the story.
I can't say it's a perfect conclusion to the Maddox brother series because I never wanted to see the series come to an end but I can say it's pretty darn close!

It was well written and I liked it enough. Perhaps the deciding factor in rating this 4 stars vs 3, was the family aspect.

My Short Summary
Beautiful Burn is the fourth book in McGuire's Maddox Brothers series. Tyler is a Maddox brother through and through. He's a tall, handsome, tattooed lady's man and a local Alpine Hotshot manwhore. He's a fierce lover of his family and a seasoned fighter. Ellie is a recent college grad spiraling out of control. She's a self destructive trust fund baby whose only lack in life was not lacking in anything.

After meeting under the influence in a lustful collision, Ellie and Tyler can't seem to stop running into each other. Neither one can deny the connection between them, but Ellie is determined to destroy it. She's rapidly falling to rock bottom where not even Tyler can bring her back. Can she save herself before it's too late?

What Did I Think?
In all honesty, I had some trouble sympathizing with Ellie in the beginning on this story. Her obvious attempts to thwart her relationship with Tyler in order to save him annoyed me. I dislike that angst type theme in books. As the depth of her addiction manifests however, she grew on me. She reminds me of a toned down rated R version of CD Reiss's Fiona from Songs of Perdition. She's a hot mess and a prime example that addiction doesn't play favorites.

Tyler is everything you think a Maddox brother embodies. He loves hard and he can't stand to see Ellie destroying herself. He says sweet things and tries so hard to bring her around. Perhaps the deciding factor in rating this 4 stars versus 3, was the family aspect. Tyler and his love for his twin, Taylor, made my heart melt a few times. I'm a total sucker for brotherly love. Seriously, the love these brothers feel for each other over the pages of this series makes my face light up in huge smiles. And books that make you do that deserve some star love..

Aside from our leading couple, the story gives us a beautiful look at the work of the Alpine Hotshots from an interesting perspective. We also get privy to some Maddox family scenes that add on to the overall series story line. There is no lack for drama in Elle's side of the family. I don't believe you'll find yourself skimming through the pages of this book. Before I finish my thoughts, I will add one critical reaction. I found the conclusion of the book a bit reaching. For a book that centered on addiction, the wrap up was lacking depth. I realize it's contemporary romance, and things are supposed to be wrapped up with big red bows at the end, but it would have been nice to add a few more pages to the importance of it. I have to admit, it bothered me.

Overall, this is a solid story from Jamie McGuire. It's a quick, easy read. It is well written and I liked it well enough. This is the fourth book in the Maddox Brothers series. Please keep in mind that while this can be read as a standalone, it will enhance your reading experience if you read the series in order. I leave my rating at 4 stars.

Rating Legend:
5 star-loved it
4 star-liked it
3 star-it was okay
2 star-didn't like it
1 star-hated it
