Title: Written in the Scars
Author: Adriana Locke
Genre: Contemporary Romantic Suspense
Release Date: October 20, 2016
Falling in love is easy.
Falling out of love is the hardest thing in the world.
And Elin and Ty Whitt are terrible at it.
The first time the local basketball star smiled at Elin, she was a goner. It was just so damn easy to fall for the dark-haired hometown hero with his charming smile and strong, athletic build.
Thousands of sleepy smiles, aimless drives down country roads, and squeaks of the backdoor after a swing shift later, reality hits. And it hits hard. Falling in love was definitely the easy part. Watching it break apart was impossible.
Through the tears, the second-guesses, the memories of a life built together, the world keeps spinning. With each turn comes clarity and hope—sometimes in the form of a pair of muddy boots by the back door or from the words of a wise friend.
When Ty shows back up with a new found determination to put his family back together, Elin's torn between the fights of the past and the possibility of a new start. This is the man that holds her heart, the man she loves beyond anything else. But this is also the one person in the world that can cause her the most pain.
Life’s not always easy. Love’s not for the faint of heart. But with life comes lessons and Ty and Elin have the scars to prove it. But it's their love written in those scars that will hold them together … or break them apart.
My Review:
*I received an advanced reader's copy of this story and it has in no way affected my opinion about this book*
I really enjoyed this book and the characters. At first, the hero and heroine were hard to get into. You get thrown right in the middle of the conflict and I didn't like all the wavering and fighting they did. But I stuck with it and I'm glad I did. As the story progresses, I saw the character growth and by the end, I loved all the characters. When they laughed or cried, so did I. Adriana Locke displayed a beautiful story were one is able to follow along on the characters' marred journey and see what it took to get them where they were. Because those scars they obtained are not just wounds brought on by suffering and conflict but insight into the fact that they have lived and they have loved.
