“TRAUMA HAS A WAY OF LEAVING ITS MARK.

It took years to do it, but I can finally look in a mirror and see more than just the scars. If only that were true for the rest of the world.

The whispers, the stares, the pity they’re familiar now. Except his eyes don’t linger, his demeanor never changes. Maybe that’s why I trust him and take the leap to move in with a virtual stranger. A stranger who might be more scarred than I am.

YET NOT ALL SCARS ARE LEFT ON THE SURFACE.

The day I got a spot at Sailor’s Grave Tattoo Parlor, I had everything.

A roof over my head, an honest living, a few friends. The times when I went without no longer factored.

Until she comes into my life. Until I offer her a place to stay. Until she draws me in with that blinding light inside her, and almost makes me forget to keep the past in the dark where it belongs.”

I loved this book!

This is the first book I’ve read from this author, and I am so disappointed that I haven’t read her before! The writing style is addictive, full of emotional turmoil, and allows you to fly through the story.

It is the third book in the series, but I feel like it could be read as a standalone.

The romance is on point, and I loved these characters. They’re lives are full of scars (both literally and emotionally), but they ultimately didn’t let it stop them from living the rest of their stories to the fullest. Their chemistry is instant, full of sparks and begs for more!

From the very first page, I was hooked! I gave this book 5 out of 5 stars and recommend it to anyone who loves damaged characters who finally fall in love in the right places.

This is definitely a book I plan on reading again!

How I Read It: eARC from Inkslinger

*Disclaimer: I requested a free copy of this book from Inkslinger in exchange for an honest review. All of my reviews contain my honest opinions only and are not influenced in any way.*

“Drew Elyse spends her days trying to convince the world that she is, in fact, a Disney Princess, and her nights writing tear-jerking and sexy romance novels.

When she isn’t writing, she can usually be found analyzing every line of a book, binge watching shows on Netflix, doing strange vocal warm ups before singing in a variety of musical styles, or screaming at the TV during Chicago Blackhawks games.

A graduate of Loyola University Chicago, she still lives outside Chicago, IL, where she was born and raised, with her boyfriend and her fur babies Lola and Duncan.”
