A review by literaryinspired
The Beauty in Scars by M.L. Philpitt

4.0

This was a thrilling ride from start to finish! The story follows Isabelle Dupont, a scarred and sheltered young woman whose only escape is through the world of fiction. But when she finds herself trapped in the dangerous world of the mafia, she realizes that there is more to her life than she ever imagined.

I loved the chemistry between Isabelle and Rafael Corsetti, who becomes her protector and finds himself drawn to her despite their differences. Rafael is a strong and loyal male lead who is willing to do anything to protect the people he loves, while Isabelle is a relatable and inspiring female character who experiences significant growth throughout the book.

The plot is fast-paced and full of action and drama, with plenty of notable references to the "Beauty and the Beast" fairytale that add an interesting twist to the story. The big twist towards the end of the book was unexpected but incredibly well done, and I found myself on the edge of my seat throughout the story.

I thoroughly enjoyed reading "Beauty in Scars" and would highly recommend it to fans of dark romance and mafia romance novels. ML Philpitt's writing is engaging and captivating, and I can't wait to read more from this author. If you're looking for a thrilling and well-written romance novel, this is definitely a book you won't want to miss!
