Publisher's Summary:
Jared Connor lost his innocence at the age of 10 when his father poured gasoline around the family home and left his two young sons to die in the flames. Now an adult, he's carefully crafted a pretend life where he can hide his scars and his death row father behind the disguise of a caretaker's pickup truck and a pair of gardening shears. But when a beautiful woman with scars of her own barges into his quiet, solitary life, Jared finds it increasingly difficult to hide from what he really wants.
Phlox Miller was never the pretty girl and no magic mascara or secret serum was ever going to change that - not even one manufactured by her own company. When an accident at her country home burns her face and body, she spares no expense on her recovery and plastic surgery. Now she turns heads on the street, but can't recognize herself in the mirror - and can't convince the man she loves that he's beautiful, too.
Can two people see beyond their physical and emotional scars to find true love and lasting acceptance?

3.5 stars.
I liked this book. I liked how the heroine could truly relate to some of the heroâs experiences. They were sweet together. It was a little odd having the heroine being the pursuer in the relationship, and the hero with the insecurities and running away when things got difficult, but it worked.
Not the usual Beauty and the Beast
I was given a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. When reading the description for this book you might just think, uh, another version of Beauty and the Beast. But it really isn't. Yes it has some of the same storyline, but it is so much better. The author gives you twists and turns, angst, and beauty in the written word. Give it a try.

I enjoyed this book even though it took a long time to read...I never just get to read a book all at once unfortunately, so have to remember the plot when I start reading again...
