    Ember Walsh is a trusting soul with the quiet beauty of her late mother, who perished in a mysterious car crash when Ember was three. A little tomboyish from being raised by her father, Ember packs a punch when a stranger gets pushy with her in a bar, catching the steely blue eyes of a tall, gorgeous tattooed man—Trace Montgomery. Still damaged from her last disastrous relationship and warned off the bad boy by friends, Ember fights the smoldering heat that Trace sparks in her when he begins shadowing her like a dark angel. Burdened by a lifetime of horror and heartbreak, amateur fighter Trace doesn’t want to want Ember. His deep self-loathing keeps him from having any meaningful relationships, but Ember is an itch he can’t scratch. The two push and pull, slowly crumbling their walls, seemingly brought together by fate, because the turmoil that haunts their pasts is interlinked in undeniable ways. But can these two fighters finally lay down their arms? In Beautifully Damaged, L.A. Fiore delves into deep scars and lets love and forgiveness uncover redemption.

    Beautifully Bad Story

    Eu sei que cada um tem opinoes diferentes sobre os livros, mas não entendo como Beautifully Damaged tem uma quantidade enorme de 5 estrelas, enquanto romances muitos melhores que esse estão quase na obscuridade, como Painted Faces, Escorted e muitos outros. Quase desisti de ler, mas fui até o final, porque gosto de terminar tudo que começo e porque queria saber o que era o "damaged" da estória. Trace, o nosso mocinho é praticamente uma cópia de varios personagens de outros romances famosos. Ember, a mocinha é uma virgem de 23 anos, garçonete, e divide um apartmento em Manhattan, com a melhor amiga Lena. Não posso deixar de comentar que Lena era a BFF da Ember há anos, mas depois de alguns desentendimentos, elas passam de BFF à quase inimigas. Claro, Ember é linda, simpática, faz amizades verdadeiras num piscar de olhos, uma querida etc, etc e todos os homens a querem. bleh! Como ela pode ser tão maravilhosa e nunca namorou? Ah! ela é quietinha e tímida, mas isso não a impede de seguir o mocinho pelas ruas da cidade. Nem um pouco contraditória, não é mesmo? Eu não leio ficção à procura de estórias verdadeiras, mas gosto de possibilidades; mas nesse caso, a estória é inconsistente, não há um desenvolvimento profundo na relacao deles, as interações dos personagens são ridículas e pouco realista. As cenas de sexo são blah, chatas e repetitivas. Humm.. tambem queria saber como a Ember e a amiga conseguiam pagar o aluguel de um apartamento, de dois quartos,na cara Manhattan... deve ter sido por isso que ela foi morar com o Trace.

    In elementary school, third grade I think, I wrote a book as part of a class assignment. It had a cardboard cover, the pages were typed and the illustrations were done in my seven-year-old hand. The title: The Case of the Missing Jewels. The main character was my stuff rabbit Whitey. I won an award through the school district for that book and it was then that I realized I could share what was in my head with others. Later, in University, I majored in Economics but that's pretty dry material, so I started writing daily tales that starred my friends. They were silly and fun and each ended in a moral, something profound like: Never eat a pickle in cowboy boots unless you're walking backwards. By the time I graduated, I had quite a following. My dream has always been to write: to lose myself in the world of my creating. After University, while working in Corporate America, I wrote novel after novel, many finished—far too many unfinished—and I tried to get them published the old-fashioned way: query letters to literary agents with no luck. My husband encouraged me to go the ebook route but it had always been a dream to get that box of books: the first off the presses. In 2012, I relented and published six of my books on Amazon as ebooks. It was really more a lesson for my kids to go after their dreams; to teach them by doing and not just saying. I really never thought any of my stories would take off and so I was taken completely by surprise at the success of Beautifully Damaged. In the Spring of 2013, I got the call I had been dreaming about getting since my first novel back in 1993: a publishing house was interested in Beautifully Damaged and the sequel. This past February, I got that box. I was really sick with the flu, but I watched as my husband opened the box and just seeing my book looking back at me, I'll never forget it. I can't even begin to tell you what it feels like to be living my dream. I wouldn't be here if not for the fans of Beautifully Damaged, so thank you for helping to make my dream come true.
