Recommendation
I’m a BIG fan of Kerry Heavens! If you haven’t read anything from her yet, you’re seriously missing out. Although most of her books inject quite a bit of humor, Lucky Scars is an emotional roller coaster reminiscent of the vibe of her Just Human duet. This is a fantastically unique and endearing story about several unique characters and their journey of finding and accepting their worthiness of love and happiness. It’s a bit of a love triangle with just enough angst and humor to keep you 100% engaged and invested in finding out how it will all turn out. Expect to be caught up in the feels with this one y’all. Tears are imminent!
Excerpts
Don't you find that some men are a sensory overload? The smell too good, they look too good, their skin is too good. It all comes at you hot and heavy like a sex fog, and you're thrown off your usually indifferent game.
"Hey! It's not the size of the ship, it's the motion of the ocean," I giggled, placing a protective hand over my nonexistent package. "Actually, it's whether the captain stays in port long enough for all the seamen to disembark," he countered straight faced.
"Maybe our scars kept us from moving on, so that we could find each other. Perhaps we should be grateful for them. Maybe they are our lucky scars."
Publisher synopsis
Not every love story begins with a fiery explosion of lust.
Some are tiny embers of hope that smoulder slowly until the stars align…
I’d been living in a bubble.
It was meant to protect me from the things in life that hurt.
I could live, I could laugh, but at least I didn’t have to love.
Loving was dangerous and I would never do it again.
It was working just fine, until the bubble burst.
It let in danger.
It let in light.
It let in…him.
Unknowingly I’d been living in the dark, feeling my way.
He filled my world with starlight.
He showed me how to move on to the next level.
He made me feel again.
I thought the wounds from the past would never fully heal,
But perhaps they only heal when the time is right.
Sometimes you just have to thank your lucky scars.
