The Beauty in Scars by M.L. Philpitt
5.0
Rafael & Isabelle: Such an Awesome Beauty and the Beast Retelling! - 5 Stars!
Another masterpiece from author M.L. Philpitt! This is one of the best retelling versions of Beauty and the Beast that I have ever read!
The story begins with promiscuous, bad-boy, sex club owner Rafael, the youngest Capo of the Corsetti family sons. After finding out that one of his murdered soldiers has a daughter the Family never knew about, Rafael is tasked with keeping her safe in order to track down her father's murderer. Thus, leading them to their nemesis, Stefan de Falco.
Rafael is instantly attracted and intrigued by the feisty, yet introverted Kindle-loving librarian, named Isabelle. Especially, the marked scars marring her beautiful face. Polar opposites, these two are drawn together as they try to unravel the mystery of Isabelle's origin and more secrets that her deceased father may have kept concerning her true identity.
I absolutely loved their story. Even though Isabelle was not as experienced as Rafael at life and interests, he never made fun of her or tried to change her. He encouraged and adored her individuality. Oy, I loved the way her referred to her as Ma Belle for the entire book! *swoon* Rafael is definitely my favorite of the Corsetti Brothers! He was so attentive to Belle and her needs... especially her comfort during her "first time". Every woman deserves the full "Rafael Experience" for her first time! The spicy between these two was everything!!!
Again... please check out the rest of the FRACTURED EVER AFTERS series! This author has a special gift with writing retellings. I can't wait to read the rest!
