A review by noellelovesbooks
Scarred by Emily McIntire
3.5
Content Warnings: Sexual content, violence, gun violence, blood, torture, death, confinement, sexual harassment, sexual assault, sexism, classism, war themes, and suicide.
Mention of: death of parent[s], grief, pregnancy, death of a child, child abuse, and child neglect.
I went into this not realizing that this book wouldn't be connected to Hooked so realizing it's set in the early 1900s really through me for a loop at first. Since I'm so used to reading fantasy and historical romance with royalty...my brain kept trying to thing this was much earlier in time than it was so when they'd mention guns/cameras/etc it took me a minute to remember when it was set.
There is just something about a man, who had a rough childhood, that believes he's this hard carefree person when in reality he does so many things that shows he cares...thats just *chefs kiss*
We also love a leading lady who takes no bullshit and is willing to do whatever it takes to avenge a wrong.
A fun read though doesn't feel like a book I'll reread over and over.
