ARC was given to me by author. My review is given voluntarily, all comments/thoughts are mine alone.
Invisible scars by Crystal Faye.
I gave this book 4 stars. This was a sweet and emotionally charged romance, about a second chance at love after a long 10 years.
Alex had built her own beauty/skin product from nothing all by herself. She did it as a way to hide her scars from her bad acne when she was just a teen.
Conner also built his manufacturing company from nothing, he was a very successful CEO. She needs help to fill a huge order that will propel her business to even higher level of success! Conner wasn’t to sure he wanted to invest in the beauty market, because it was completely saturated with hundreds of brands, and the so-called “all-natural” line had been played out.
Until he meets Alex!!! They both are in for a surprise of their lives when she walks into the boardroom for the meeting that will make or break her future success for her baby Terra Cosmetics’ product line.
Alex has been a victim of bullieng …..this is a serious subject that this story is about. Also is about overcoming adversity, and turning it in to positivity. They both overcome hardships growing up, to become very successful CEO’s of their companies. I enjoyed this book, it was a quick read with a HEA ending full of love and happiness!
It was great book from this author had just the right amount been hot and steamy togetherit took me a day and half to completely read it.

Some scars are visible but Alex wears her scars inside her heart. Growing up with difficult hair and extreme acne propelled her to develop her own line of natural cosmetics. She’s on the cusp of success but needs financial help for the last push. Unfortunately, the only company willing to take a chance on her is run by the man that crushed her heart when she was still a teen. Can she get beyond her hurt?
Connor doesn’t recognize Alex when he first sees her. What he doesn’t realize is that as teens, she heard him say some ugly things about her appearance. It pushed her to succeed. Will she be willing to listen to his explanation?
Crystal was best friends with Connor’s sister. She had feeling for him but he talked badly about her. Now years later she is trying to expand her business and needs help so she turns to Connor. He doesn’t seem to remember how he treated her all those years ago which upsets Crystal. When he agrees to help her they work long hours together and its not long before they give in to temptation. Will Connor be able to break down the walls Crystal has built? Can they have something real with their history?
This is a great story once I started it I couldn’t put it down. The chemistry between them is scorching hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

IMMEDIATELY CONFRONT MATTERS YOU ACCIDENTALLY OVERHEAR
Another great book by Anna Wineheart. She seems to be the author of the downtrodden and the steadfast lover. The conviction of love that Greg has for Dale made me want to experience that kind of devotion. I also wanted to grab hold of the people who had made Dale feel so unwanted and useless. I book to let your mind flow with the character interactions and beliefs.
Can a Second Chance Heal Hidden Scars?
“Invisible Scars ” by Crystal Faye had me hooked by the end of the first page.
Alex (Alexandra) had a serious crush on her older brother’s best friend Connor when she was 12 and he was 18, but he unknowingly stomped on her heart when she overheard a nasty, drunken conversation between him and his friends. Ten years later they both head their own successful companies but Alex is in need of an influx of money to expand quickly due to high demand for her cosmetic line. Connor’s board of directors for his company “Lexicon” want him to partner with Alex, but he is not really interested in getting involved in the cosmetics industry, that is, until they meet. Connor was expecting Alex to be a man, but he is blown away by the gorgeous woman standing before him, not realizing she is “Lexi” from his youth. Alex recognized Connor immediately but did not let on she knew him. Alex hates Connor and wants nothing to do with him, and Connor doesn’t know why, but partnering with Connor’s company is her last hope to save her company. Will they be able to work together and will Connor be able to uncover and help heal Alex’s hidden scars? Will they find their happily ever after?
This is a quick read but an enjoyable one. I read it in one sitting, not wanting to put it down until I was finished. The sex scenes are just right, hot enough but not over the top erotica. The story is well written for the most part. There are a few instances towards the end where first/second person and past/present tense are mixed up, and a couple of continuity issues but the story line and descriptions are so good that these few issues are easily overlooked and do not really detract from the story.
There are times you will feel frustrated with the characters, but the story will ultimately leave you feeling good.
I recommend this book.

I absolutely loved Alex and Connor. I was happy to read a story about a strong willed woman with her own company striving to.make her dreams come true no matter what. These two had such a cute story together and it is definitely a good, quick read. I would recommend this book to my family!
First time read for Ms. Crystal Faye and I’m completely hooked. Invisible Scars is a highly imaginative book, with a beautifully written & executed storyline.
These realistically written characters are so relatable, you will have no trouble in following along and envisioning the scenarios that they find themselves in. Who doesn’t love an ugly duckling story? Who doesn’t think that confidence is sexy?
This is an impeccable read that I was fortunate enough to have discovered and read for myself. I began recommending this book after the first few chapters and that’s saying something because I am an avid reader of romance and have read so many books, that it truly says something about an Author and her ability to craft a release that draws you into a world you don’t want to leave, and yet, at the same you need to keep reading because you just have/need to know what happens next. What a compelling & wonderful release. Invisible Scars follows Alexandra, aka Alex, and her childhood crush, Connor. Growing up around her Brothers best friend, Connor, was absolute torture at times for Alex. Whether it was because she obsessed over him or the way he dealt with it, either way… Emotional pain follows you throughout your life and you never forget. Years later, she needs his help and what she gets is one hell of an eye-opening experience from the man who never cared much about her. How would you deal with this? How do you think Connor will react when he sees Alex for the first time in years and realizes he might have made a mistake? I encourage you to read this impeccable release ASAP.
I was beyond fortunate to have requested an advanced reader’s copy of Invisible Scars in exchange for my honest/voluntarily given opinion and I strongly encourage all romance reader’s to pick up a copy.
What a great second-chance romance. It kept me interested from page one. It is very well written and the character development was well done. I really like this author and look forward to reading more from her. I received an advance copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving this review

This is such a good book. Alex is a very relatable character. Her background with the childhood hardships and bullying was so believable, it brings back your own memories from childhood. The way Connor believed in her, yet still had his own insecurities was heartwarming.
A definite must read.

ONE AMAZING READ!!!
Oh boy, what a ride! Talk about risky business. You can’t help but fall in love with these two well matched and relatable characters. With unpredictable circumstances and an incredible storyline these two pull you right into their heart consuming relationship. You’re caught in so deep you get lost in the comings and goings, twists and turns, along with a few glitches and their broken pasts. The characters and scenes are written with such realism it really pulls this remarkable read together beautifully. Crystal did an amazing job bringing this read to life flawlessly. Thanks Crystal for sharing this little gem with us.
