ARC kindly provided by the author in exchange for a fair and honest review. Release date:  September 26th. Stand alone.  No cliffhanger. Spoiler-free review.  4.5 - 5.0 stars!Ash Taylor is a player...on and off the field.  He excels in whatever he does...baseball, football, school and being a chick magnet.  He looks like he has everything going for him.  In reality, Mr. Perfect doesn't feel so perfect...and he is actually lonely...but never really alone.  Ash becomes the man of the house after his dad died of cancer.  He forgoes a prestigious baseball scholarship to remain close to home to be with his mother, sister and brother. While attending a local university he meets Cara, a beautiful student and librarian.  Cara appears very reserved, studious and seemly sweet (not Ash's usual type).  Ash asks Cara out almost a dozen times until she finally agrees to go out with him.  Cara believes that no man (especially someone as perfect as Ash) will want to be with her if her secret is uncovered. Can this unlikely pair trust enough to let love in? Will their emotional obstacles be too much to deal with? Are things as lovely as they seem?Beth Michele did a fantastic job developing Ash's character. I loved getting into his head and heart as his cocky exterior cracked open to show such a beautiful soul. I also liked Cara and wished there was more back story after learning her secret. Lovely wasn't overly dramatic or trying too hard to be steamy. I have to say that I had to bust out the tissues a few times. This story seemed so real. Beth Michele's writing style sucked in from page one. I can't wait to see what she is working on next.  Whatever it is I will beg for an ARC or happily download. This book was refreshing (especially after I just read something dark) and just Lovely.This review appears on [...] [...] Goodreads, Amazon and Twitter.
