When Beth offered up a copy of Lovely to me to read and review I was excited. I read Love, Love and fell in love with Ben and I knew that without a doubt I would fall in love with Ashton's story.One thing I know for sure with Beth is that she pours her heart and soul into her stories and that of her characters. She knows how to write a story, she knows how to get it to all flow together nicely and in the end you are left with a piece of her characters in your heart forever.This story has it all, heartbreak, angst, humor, steam, and the best characters. You will laugh, cry, you will get angry, but in the end I truly believe Ashton and Cara will hold a special place within your heart too."I was afraid, but I'm not anymore. I was unsure, but I'm more sure than ever. My world was dark, "her eyes meet mine, "but you've filled it with light. I was hiding from the world, but I don't want to hide from you."Cara has had a rough childhood, with a father who was always away on business she was left with her drunken mother who did nothing but verbally degrade her every chance she could get. This caused Cara to hide behind big dorky glasses and close herself off to everyone. When Ash saw this he knew she was different and in a good way and he knew that he had to find out more about her."I am a devoted son, responsible brother, trusted friend, excellent student, and a good f***. I've been told I'm talented. And I suppose things come easy to me. My life seems perfect."Ash is a player; he excels in all sports, and even with the chics. But there is one thing he does not have and that is everything going for him like everyone thinks. Ash is very lonely; he has been through a lot. After his father dies Ash devotes his time to helping his mom and taking care of his family. He is there for everyone, but he has no one there for him. Ash broke my heart honestly. Here is a young guy who has lost his dad ( who was also his hero) and he has had to step up and be the "man" of the house, but he has no one he can turn to himself to help him. Until he sees Cara in the library. Cara changes the way Ash has been with girls."I've felt like nothing for so long, Ash...You make me feel like I'm something...like I matter."Ash starts to pursue Cara daily to go on a date with him Cara finally decides to go. From here they build a great friendship which in turn turns to love. I love how Beth brought these two characters to life. Their relationship was a built up one. They learned about each other and then fell in love."You're the only one I've wanted, Cara, since the moment I first saw you... It's your eyes that invaded my dreams, your body that fulfills my fantasies, your beautiful spirit that's taken over my heart. It's you, Cara."This is a must read for everyone who loves a great story, that builds from the beginning into an amazing relationship with a HEA. Yes you will need tissues, yes you will get angry, your heart will break for these two throughout this book but in the end I truly think you will be happy for them."Don't ever look down. Someone so beautiful should always be looking up."As always Beth thank you for another amazing story, thank you for bringing Ashton and Cara into my world and my heart. They will forever be remembered by me.
