I kept waiting for the OMG moment, but I never got it. It was a little anti-climactic for me.

This is a book that I should never have read. The result of a teaser in my inbox that lead me to think this would be about music, I finished it because of its very short length and the fact that I had bought the darn thing on an impulse—something I know better than to do—so felt obliged to read it, even if some of this book made me uncomfortable.
I therefor do not feel qualified to review this work other than to say it was well written, although the e-version had some small formatting and spelling/editing issues, and likely good if you are looking for a dominant/submissive title. I was not and apparently missed whatever clues were in the blurb to tell me this was such a book.
I chose to give this book three stars because as there is not really pass button on rating.

Marc has known Chaili since they were kids, and for the most time, he only saw her as his sister's best friend. Chaili on the other hand has loved him since she was a teenager, and finally, they find each other again.

Both of the main characters have flaws that get in the way. Shiloh Walker is very good at writing characters with flaws and you still fall in love with them.

This was a sweet contemporary romance. Marc is a rock star, Chaili is a web designer. They've known each other since childhood, but suddenly they are thrust together, but first they have to work through their stuff...

I’m a huge fan of Shiloh Walker’s books. I love her voice whether in a romantic suspense, contemporary romance, or erotic romance. I have to say she totally delivered a moving and super sexy story with Beautiful Scars.
Let me just say I really loved Chaili and Marc both as individuals and as a couple. I’m a huge fan of the friends to lovers story and thought this one was done well. Chaili has loved Marc pretty much her entire life, but never thought he would ever see her as more than a friend. When she steps in to be his date, Marc suddenly sees her in a whole new light. After one night of incredible passion, Marc wants so much more, but Chaili claims that is all she wants. I have to say Marc is such a fun character for me. He doesn’t always think before he opens his mouth, so he tends to come off as an ass at times. When he messes up, he messes up in a big way. He also has one of the biggest hearts and loves in a big way too. Chaili has been burned in the past by her ex-husband and others and has scars both on her body and her heart. I loved how Marc wanted to take care of her in every way. I especially loved how protective he was of Chaili anytime her ex-husband was around.
Both Marc and Chaili enjoy some kink in their sex lives. Not to the point of a D/s relationship, but Marc does like to be in control in bed and Chaili is fine with being submissive to a point. I loved the sexual chemistry between Marc and Chaili. I thought Walker did a great job exploring the relationship between Marc and Chaili, while showing how each of their past were coloring the future. I do wish Chaili would have let March beat the crap out of her ex-husband at least once.
I absolutely loved Beautiful Scars. Shiloh Walker gives her readers an emotion filled sexy ride with this story. I look forward to more stories like this one from Walker in the future. For more information about this book and others from Shiloh Walker, check out her website.
