Bishop and Callie were everything!!! I absolutely loved them together. Tara Lee has this way with her writing that literally keeps you on the Edge of your seat. Beautifully Mine was no exception the emotions were of the charts and the mystery kept my interest and kept me guessing. Everything Bishop and Callie were feeling I felt right along with them. Let’s not forget about their heat! They are off the charts! This was a fantastic read and I highly recommend. I can’t wait for my next read from Tara Lee!!!
The growth of this author even from the beginning of the book to the end was heart warming to see. Love seeing authors succeed so to say I was gutted to dislike book 1 was an understatement. But this, this book after a while started to grab my attention and refused to let go. Both characters and plot were much more thought out and given the chance to truly shine. Leaving my review here, but just know I'm glad I took a chance on this book, it will captivate you the further you go in. Both characters go through so much, you'll be on the edge of your seat, wondering what on earth could happen next.
Well what can i say MY GIRL nailed Bishop and Callie's story. I am very lucky to be a alpha/beta Reader.
Beautifully mine is much darker and mafia like then what your use to reading from Tara. But i must say this book is by far my most Favourite out of all her books so far. CAN NOT WAIT FOR MY MAN BRANTLEY 😍😍😍😍
Bishop and Callie's story had so much action, love and hate.
Callie was promised to Bishop from a young age but didnt even know it.
There are twists and turns in this book that had you not wanting to put book down.
Bishop is one hot alpha that def had your skin burning up and wanting more.
The Catty fire that Callie had after all that she went through is what had me love her.
The bonus epilogues that introduced you to the next generation had me way excited for whats to come.
Amazing, exactly what I wanted for Bishop and Callie. I was intrigued by Callie and Bish is Beautifully Broken and Tara did not disappoint when it came to their story. The mystery and guessing kept me on the edge of my seat and the connection between them was just as hot hot hot, if not more so than it was in Beautifully Broken. This story is one hell of a rollercoaster of emotions that packs a punch.
The second story in this series really packs a punch. I knew Bishop and Callie’s story was going to be exciting but it is so much more with its intensity and explosive storyline.
Callie and Bishop are a great match. They both get along with a similar sense of humor and, of course, are extremely compatible in the bedroom. Bishop is very protective of Callie, this is shown in many ways like how prepared he is to drop everything and save her. They certainly had their ups and downs, a little too much of the yo-yo aspect to start with I felt, but then once things settled their pitfalls were exciting and terrifying at the same time.
The action and drama in this story keeps you on your toes that’s for sure, I loved it. With lots of unexpected additions thrown into the storyline, nothing became predictable. There’s nothing better than good twists and turns to make things interesting in a story.

Dark, twisted, steamy, suspenseful and with so many twist and turns. This book has all of these and so much more.
From the very first page this story had me hooked, Bishop and Callie's story is not your normal romance story. This mafia darker romance takes you though a ride that has so many ups and downs, situations where my heart was shuttered but later was rebuilt form some of the beautiful moments where love was above all.
So many revelations were made in this book that took me by surprise and I can wait for what's to come out next on this series.
Bravo Tara, this story was simply amazing and I completely loved the characters and plot.
Title: Beautifully Mine ( The Beautiful Series #2) Author: Tara Lee Reviewer: Lorraine Leatham - Rainey Day Book Reviews Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Super hot, yes! This is most definitely not your typical mafia romance. Bishop & Callie are going to take you on a wild ride. I gasped, I cried for Callie and I chuckled as well. This book has twists and turns, my heart raced during a couple of scenes. Callie is your typical spoiled brat who had been kept sheltered to a certain extent. You see her go through so much from beginning to end and she doesn’t come out the same on the other side. Bishop is the man every woman wants when things get tough. He is a man of action and he gets things done. This couple is amazing. Kudos to the author!
This is mafia insta attraction age gap romance. It has all the feels and I felt every emotion the author had written. I laughed, fanned myself, swooned, cried and was left with a huge smile. The book kept me wanting more and I didn’t want to stop. There is a continuous push and pull between bishop and Callie which I welcomed but the tension was off the charts and I felt it to the core. There are triggers but It didn’t make me want to stop but to find out what was to happen to Callie. There are a lot of twists and turns I didn’t see coming and I was left in utter shock. I look forward to more of the series especially the way it ends.
I read this as a beta reader and the end result was so much more. Congratulations on this beautiful because this is my favourite of yours.
Ooh my god I couldn't put this down Bishop and Callie had me hooked yet again. Tara does not disappoint me.
The emotions and mystery of their story will keep you on the edge of your seats and guessing. The c0nnection between them is hot hot hot and the feelings you will get from this is off the charts.
so many different emotions and the feelings you get while reading is just wow.
And let me just say if you are like me and see and feel what the characters are going through and actually feel like you are there watching it all then you know what the greatness this story is.
Beautifully mine is a story of a girl growing up in wealth and perfection and a boy growing up in a harsh world. Bishop instantly knows Callie will be his and is obsessed with her. Their relationship builds to love. Callie grew up quite a bit in this book. The age gap is more apparent at the beginning. I really enjoyed this book. Their chemistry was hot and their love grew real. There was quite a bit of dark edges to this book. If you don’t like to read dark triggers, stay away. I enjoy reading the murky dark.
Tara Lee's writing is going from strength to strength, Beautifully Mine is by far her best work yet!!
A fantastic storyline that keeps you captivated by the words on the pages and fantastic set of characters the bring the story to life. I really enjoyed Bishop and Callies story, I was pulled in from the start and before I knew it I was finishing the book! This is a hot and delicious read that definitely kept me on the edge of my seat and kept my emotions busy, another definite recommendation.
Opposites attract This book is about Bishop and Callie. It’s a darker romance storyline than what I usually read, but it was a great book! It was emotional and suspenseful, and the characters’ strong connection and sizzling-hot chemistry were so endearing, pulling me into their story. And I loved the Italian glossary at the beginning. I have to admit, I’ve used many of the words and phrases! Everything sounds so hot! And oh to know how life would pan out for Nicco and Gabriella! I give this book four and a half stella stars. I received a free ARC of this book from the author, and am voluntarily leaving a review.
Absolutely loved Callie and Bishop. The mystery and intrigue along with hotness of Callie and Bishop draws you in that you never want their story to end. The epilogues at the end were a great bonus introducing us to some more characters who will hopefully get their own story. With so many intriguing characters this will definitely be a fantastic series.
If you like dark mafia reads, then Beautifully Mine By Tara Lee will be right up you alley. First off, this book is Bella dark and has triggers. Don not ignore the trigger warnings! Callie and Bishop's book was everything I could've hoped for and more. I really hope there are more books in this series because I'm excited to read them.
Beautifully Mine- Bishop and Callie.. wow is all I can say, lost for words how much Tara had me hooked on this book. It had me not wanting to put it down at all and i had to keep reading right until The very end. If you wanr a story filled with love, passion, sitting on the edge of your seat, and holding your breath at times trying to read faster to see what will happen next then this is yhe book for you. Thanks Tara cant wait for more
Bishop and callies story is one addictive, sexy, dark, twisted and emotional stories I have read. The dark turns it took had me on the edge if my seat. It was pretty brutal in parts but I couldn't stop reading. If your after a mafia romance that's got an alpha like no other and is deliciously twisted this is for you.
If you love a darker/mafia read then be sure to read this one! This book was amazing! This is a darker read so know that before starting. The storyline is great and you will fall in love with these characters! You can feel their chemistry. I can’t wait to see where the other characters in this book takes us.
O M G i couldn’t stop! I wanted to be taken into this book! Exactly how I envision being swept into the lifestyle, like the godfather meets 50 shades. I can’t wait for the next book! So many unexpected twists and turns. It was an amazing capturing read. LOVE it
I was so happy to be part of tara arc team .it took me a minute to read but when I did read it I couldn’t put it down ! The story has me intrigued from the start and that chemistry between them is wow. this was an amazing book to read will they be story about there kids if so I can't wait to read it and she is amazing author go and read her book
The story of Bishop & Callie will not disappoint. We already saw their sparks when they met in Book 1 but their love and lust for each other jumps off the page. Bishop needs Callie as much as he needs the air to breathe and the lengths he is willing to go shows in everything he does to keep her safe & loved. There are some rough scenes to get through but you will not be disappointed in the ending! Happy Reading!
Bishop and Callie's relationship in this book was amazing! Tara absolutely nailed this book. It was a perfect dark mafia romance, and I was in no way ready for it to end!
