4.5 Damaged Yet Beautiful stars! 
 My Beautifully Damaged Review ... 
 FINALLY a book where the heroine is strong throughout and not an ounce of whiny insecure. THANK YOU!! 
 This book has been on my queue forever and I am so happy that I finally read this book. This book had deep seated personal demons, forever type of love, suspense, intrigue, jealousy, family, loyalty and holy shit moments. 
 Ember has had a lot of loss in her life and finds it easier to hide behind books and her friend then be in the spotlight, which is why she is friends with a real bitch named Lena who likes to keep Ember in the shadows. One night Lena drags Ember out but only to leave her two seconds later. Normally for Ember this would be her weakness but this is the moment that changes her. As Ember is left to deal with a persistent male who won't take no for an answer she finds her self taking charge protecting her self to only meet eyes with an avenging angel. 
 This avenging angel named Trace wants to help this stunning creature but 
 quickly learns she is strong enough to handle it on her own. As they 
 look at each other they both feel the other is out of their leagues for 
 different reasons, but by chance, every where Ember turns her new angel 
 happens to be. As Trace and Ember keep running into each other it is harder and harder to stay away. 
 "He isn't out of your league, Ember, he's playing an entirely different 
 game. Please make sure you know the rules before you start to play." 
 With Trace, Ember's strength just gets stronger and stronger. With this and the help of her other friend Kyle and her dad she quickly learns what a dead wait her supposedly BFF aka the bitch actually is. With this she needs a new place to stay so the logical place would be Trace's. ;) 
 "I've never been brought home to meet the family, so it's a bit 
 stressful when the first time I do is with the only one who matters." 
 The closer Trace and Ember get the closer Trace's personal demons come to 
 the surface causing him to push Ember as far away as possible to the point 
 that she is forced to walk away. The pain of separation nearly breaks the two and this is where the suspense comes to the forefront and the beauty of their love takes hold. 
 I really did love this story and all that came with it. Trace's demons were deep and strong but Ember's love was strong enough for both of them. This was my first L.A. Fiore book and definitely will not be my last.
