An accident happened early in their marriage that David blamed Emerson for. He and his parents made her life hell. Her only friend was the hired help, Andrew, who helped her out a lot with David when he was drunk and at his nastiest.

Oh, the emotions…This book was a rollercoaster, one that I was more than thrilled to be a part of! The storyline and characters made this book incredible.
Emerson is unhappily married to David who together with his parents treats her horrendously. Emerson is blames for absolutely everything that goes wrong in David’s world, and when he crashes his beloved car, it is arranged by a friend that she goes with the car to oversee the restoration. This does not go down well at first with the restorer, but as time goes by Emerson is accepted and liked for being herself. Will David let her go though? This is a beautifully written story which is filled with

BEAUTIFULLY RESTORED is a love story, but really it’s more about Emerson Dawson, and her own journey from an obedient, trapped, abused wife, to a flourishing, independent, self-confident person. When Emerson’s wealthy and abusive husband, David, crashes his expensive, luxury vehicle, he sends Emerson with the car to babysit it while it’s being repaired. I loved this original concept that placed Emerson in a new world—one of casual, small town race car drivers, and snarky sexy mechanics like Dono

Wow I really liked Beautifully Restored it was one of those stories that had me hooked from the very first page and stayed with me after I reached the end . This would be the first book thatI;ve read by Trisha Madley and it wont be my last I can't wait to explore more books by the author . I had mixed feelings about Emerson and Donovan they were so complex but as the story went on I understood their actions and why they were that why to one another from first meeting . Poor Emerson my heart real

Wow! This book was so much more than I had expected. It was an amazing story that is written very well.
Emerson is a woman who has lost herself to guilt and Donovan is a man who is willing to do anything to show her that she doesn’t deserve the way she lives.
Beautifully Restored is a heart wrenching, must read page-turner and I highly recommend it to all Romance lovers.

Pretty good read...needs more steam?
Pretty good read. There were a few grammar issues but the storyline was good. Could have been a little....steamer. At times I thought it was "going to get good" and then nothing. If it was meant to be semi-steamy then I guess it does that. ...more

When I first began reading this book, I thought it was going to be about a snobby rich girl, who always gets what she wants…. when she wants. I was completely wrong; this book was so much more… I found myself reading at all hours of the night unable to put this book down. I had so much disgust for Emerson’s husband David that all I wanted was for her to find happiness. She is forced to stay in a marriage where she is not respected or appreciated. Her husband who is still babied by his parents, b

My first book by Trisha and i love it.
This story was heartbreakingat times, the way Emerson is treated by her husband is disgusting. she's stuck with him and holds no hope for happiness in the future with him but a trip changes things, she finds safety, compassion and love in an unlikely place and with people she didnt think she would connect with.
I love Emerson and Van their interaction is funny at times and just so endearing. The secondary characters are brilliant, the story unfolds beautifull ...more

Loved the characters!
Without giving away too much, I like how Trisha weaves the story of a woman that survives emotional abuse because she feels it’s her fault!
However, this story moves forward with showing just how much strength someone can have when they have people that care, love and support the person!
A definitely much read!

I really liked this book! I will say, I started off mad in the beginning but that’s only because Emmy’s husband is a you know what. And She didn’t deserve to be treated like that at all. But later in the story, I was so glad that she met Van. They were complete opposites but opposites attract! I cannot wait to read more from this author and see what she has in store for us next.
I couldn't put this book done. It was so good...
The chemistry between Emerson and Van is intense..
There are a few funny moments.
This book is packed full of drama.
Poor Emerson has been taken on an emotional rollercoaster ride.
I. Really hoping there will be a book 2 I'd like to know more about the guys and girls of Bradley restorations... ...more

Emerson is treated badly by everyone who should love her. Then she meets Donovan, and her life changes. I really liked this book. At first I felt so bad for Emerson but, will she find true love? Read this book.
Wow! Beautifully written.
The book was amazing, not because of the arrogance of the rich and famous. it Just brings to life how we as women can forsake our feelings over quilt. Am happy Van did not give up on her because she was married.

Grammatical errors weren’t horrible but they were there. Unrealistic social encounters. And honestly I don’t get the whole I can’t think straight with his body so close<\i> thing... it’s just lazy writing

I'm an a romantic suspense author...wait, what? I hated to read. I wouldn't read unless forced by a teacher. I watched a popular vampire movie and wanted to see what happened next, so I bought a Nook. My obsession began. I read a book a day. I've read hundreds of books!
