Beth Michele really knows how to write a beautiful romance story. She did it with Love Love and Lovely and now again with Scarred Beautiful. Her books are perfect for readers who love stories about second chances, opening yourself up and overcoming obstacles. They are well written and wont  weigh you down with heavy angst or crazy drama. The perfect quick read when you want something on the lighter side of love.We first met Fran in Love Love as the pushy and loyal best friend who would do anything to help her BFF find love again after loss. We also learn that Fran has had a difficult past that she works hard at keeping hidden. I was thrilled when Beth decided to write a book about Fran because I saw so much potential in character while reading Love Love. (On a side note, you don’t need to read Love Love to understand and enjoy Scarred Beautiful)In Scarred Beautiful Fran held up to my expectations for the most part. You get a clear understanding of her past and her fears about finding love. With scars so deep both on the outside and the inside she is hesitant and doesn think any man will find her beautiful or worthy of love. My heart did break a little for Fran, I wanted her to find that love to end all loves so badly.  My only wish was for more grit, a closer look into her past and pain, a more detailed visualization of her scars and what she went through as a child. I wanted to feel her pain deep in my soul, I wanted my heart to ache and then swell with happiness when she found her own happiness. Don’t get me wrong, I did like Fran and I thought she had a great story but I just wanted a little more out of her.Matt, is the brother of Frans best friends fiance. He had met Fran before but they are only acquaintances until they run into each other again at a work conference. Matt is also in pain and lonely having suffered a great loss. Losing the two women he loved deeply he feels that love just isn’t in the cards for him. He doesn’t want to go through the pain of losing someone else he loves so he resigns himself to enjoy the short time he has with Fran while at  conference and then its time to move on. But can he continue to resist love and walk away when someone as special as Fran is the one you want?Together with Matt and Fran you are in for some great flirting, fun steamy and sexy moments, a bit of drama and of course love. Swoon <3 For any fan of Beth Michele you will truly enjoy this book.
