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.
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.

Disclaimer: I received an Advance Reader Copy at no cost from the publisher/author. All opinions in my review are my own.
I was very impressed with this story. It is amazing how the author is able to capture so much raw emotion and direct it in so many different ways.
The main characters were extremely well developed. I was able to connect with both of them easily. Both Park and Gwen have their owns demons and their character development was fantastic. We get to see them help each other heal their wounds as the story progresses. The two of them are such a great match for each other and we get to see them develop that undeniable connection that they have.
Overall, I couldn't have been more pleased with this story! It captured my attention immediately and locked it in with complex characters and an intriguing plot. If you love raw and gritty stories with a lot of heart then you should give this one a shot. I haven't read any books by this author previously but I will be going back to read the other books in this series. I definitely recommend this one!

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.
