**JUST BOOKED received an ARC for an Honest Review**HEARTWARMING…EVERY GIRL SHOULD GET HER FAIRY-TALE, BUT SOME HAVE TO WAIT FOR THE RIGHT PRINCE TO COME ALONG!Scarred Beautiful is a follows Beth Michele’s debut novel, Love Love, where we are introduce to Fran Heller as Gabrielle “Gabby” Willis’ best friend. Scarred Beautiful could be read as a standalone novel, but I highly recommend reading Love Love too! Beth Michele has done a wonderful job introducing her characters in each of the novels and keeps them engage in the next.Scarred Beautiful is about Fran, Design Manager, who is a beautiful, a twenty-eight year business woman who works mostly in advertising and branding in New York City. She is leaving to Los Angeles to attend a design conference at The Ritz-Carlton that is if she can get on the plane. Fran has had a fear of planes since she was sixteen years old, so Fran’s friend, Peyton Vinsant, helps her with fear and gets her to the airport along with a little care package for the flight.“Desperate times call for desperate measures…Ambien…Just in case you freak-out. Now, for the good part…pulling out three mini bottles of Jack Daniels. In case you get thirsty.” - Peyton“Great, So you’re trying to get me drunk and high”. - FranFran’s fear of flying is minor in comparable to her scars of the emotional and physical abuse as a child, yet as an adult she is trying to find the person she once was before the abuse begun. Struggling to find happiness, she must try to overcome the scars of her past.“There’s no fairytale for me. It’s not in the cards.”  - FranEven though Fran is beautiful, she only sees the scars left behind making her feel unattractive to other men until she meets Matt Dixon, Brad’s brother who we meet in Love Love.“I’m pretty sure if we checked out the word Adonis in the dictionary that both of their names would be right beside it…” – PeytonMatt has also suffered loss by losing the two of the most important women in his life, but he copes by taking control of his life by making himself a bit of a control freak. Matt may be a little overly organized, but he is also very sweet, funny, and romantic. When Matt meets Fran at the conference, he cannot believe how gorgeous Fran is and furthermore how she makes him feel as she has ignited a spark in him."You make me want, Fran. You brought me hope...but most of all...you brought me back to life." - MattWill Matt be the person to mend the cracks in Fran’s heart, so she can be able to love again? Will Matt be able to help Fran find the light in her cloudy darkness, so she can see how she beams likes the sun when she is happy? Will Fran help Matt to open heart again so he could love again after losing two amazing women? Will Fran and Matt be able to take their two broken hearts and mend them together for a heart of golden happiness?“I don’t won’t you to be tainted and bitter…I don’t want you to be fearful. I want you to be hopeful. I want you to live your life…Someday you’ll find the other half of your heart.”Author Beth Michele’s romance novel, Scarred Beautiful, has done an AMAZING job writing an EMOTIONAL LOVE STORY capturing your HEART and SOUL immediately unable to put the book down. I am not very emotional, but reading Scarred Beautiful had my emotions on a roller coaster. You will feel LOVE, LOST, COMPASSION, SADNESS, ANGER, DISTRUST, FORGIVENESS, and FRIENDSHIP. Scarred Beautiful is A MUST READ and should be place on your TBR list, but also do not forget Beth’s debut novel, Love Love.I rate Beth Michele’s novel, Scarred Beautiful- 5 BEAUTIFUL STARS!
