Becoming withdrew from the world and hiding from the chance of loving again. Having four older brothers and a determined best friend she had no choice but to stand strong.
Over time Riley was able to open up once again. She had no idea that the one person she needed was right under her nose.

They struggle through hard times and learn to trust again. But will the love that grows be enough to hold them together or will the heartache they suffer drive a wedge between them forever.
They could be toxic to one another or they could heal the wounds that run deep within their souls.

***MY REVIEW***
*I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review*
*I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review*
I
am going to keep this review a little simple and sweet just like Scarred by love.
I
really enjoyed this story. It drew me in from the first couple of
pages and I even finished the book in one day which is rare for me.
C.A.
Harms does a great job with writing the story and helped you to fall in
love with her characters, both main and supporting.
The story starts off with Riley. A college student who was in an abusive relationship
but chose to put an end to it after her ex-boyfriend took his rage to
another level one night. She ran to the only place that she knew that was safe; her brother's house. We see as Riley tries to get over this
traumatic experience that was done to her and also effected her family. Even though she was closed off for a little while, I really liked when she decided to stop feeling sorry for herself and get her life back.
I
really liked Riley's character. She was strong, caring, witty, loving
but also had a lot of insecurities. When she falls for the bad boy from the party she didn't expect the kind and sweet person he turned out to be.
Zander
knew that there was something special about Riley the first time he
saw her at a party one night.
I
loved that he came across funny, loving, a bad-ass at times and boy
was this one sexy!!!!! He also had a lot of secrets and sometimes I
felt like he doubted himself when it came to Riley as a result of his
childhood family dysfunctions. Zander looked like a badboy but he was
the sweetest thing ever. It was great to see a change for a man to be
concern about the pace of the relationship and not focused on the undeniable attraction.
The story also showed the relationship Zander and his best friend Beth shared. I thought they were too close for comfort. I wanted to punch Zander for not seeing everything his best friend was doing to his relationship with Riley.
Overall,
I enjoyed this story. I loved the ride it took me on. Zander's and
Riley's relationship was tested by family members and even friends. Did they make it together? or did they let all the outside factors get to their relationship? You will have to grab this one to find out and trust me when I say you will not be disappointed.
