******** Received an ARC of this book from the author in exchange for an HONEST review***********Phoenix: The Beauty in Between (Beautiful#2.5)was Flipping Awesome!!! It follows the story of Paige, whom we met in a Beautiful Forever, prior to meeting Elliot. We find out in Beautiful Forever that Paige had a dark past and experienced much pain and loss. Even though she poured her heart out to Elliot in Beautiful Forever, it is nothing compared to what her story tells us in Phoenix. From the first page, I was drawn to Paige's life and her beginnings. This chick truly hit rock bottom. As a matter of fact she was already pretty low when the book starts out and it gets worse from there. I hated her mother even more for walking out on her and not fighting for Paige!! There was a lot of drug use, some phyiscal abuse, and sex. Even though the story is dark and dreary there were still some hot sex scenes. Some more awkward than others but still hot as fire!!!With each book that I read from Lilliana Anderson, I get more and more impressed with her writing skills. They just keep getting better and better! She knows how to pull the readers in and make you fall for characters you didnt think you would like. I would love to find out what happens to Braden and if he has a HEA.
