"You challenge, rebel against me, and pushed me on every level. I wouldn't have it any other way."
Ahhh.... I finally read my first book from Meghan March and now I'm hooked. I've been hearing nothing but rave reviews and praises for her Beneath Series and so when I was able to get my hands on Beneath These Scars, I was instantly captivated right off the opening pages. It was more like I was addicted and couldn't get enough of her writing and story-telling. Literally, I was only halfway thru the Beneath These Scars and I knew I had to one-click the previous three books of the series.
Each and everyone of us has our personal scar whether it be physical or emotional. Our scars are our own personal story. It is a reminder of our past, our ups and down, and most importantly a reminder that we are living. For some, scars may be a reminder of guilt, remorse, and sadness. But for others, scars may be a reminder of survival. And in Beneath These Scars, Ms. March engrosses her readers as she introduces her readers to two broken characters who both have physical and emotional scars. And beneath their scars, is a story of two strangers finding comfort, healing and love within one another. Their scars didn't define them as they are able to share their burdens with one another and prove to the world that their scars didn't destroy them but made them stronger emotionally and physically.
"He consumed me. With every thrust and retreat he unraveled me."
Beneath These Scars was an amazing read!!! This book had it all from a gripping and well-written story line that was filled with so much raw emotions, passion, beauty and suspense to keep readers like myself engaged and captivated. I love reading books about broken heroes and heroines because it allows readers to see imperfections and vulnerabilities which makes them more real and relatable.
Lucas Titan was the guy you love to hate. He was arrogant, cocky, and a total alpha male who has no problems making enemies. In simple terms, this man doesn't have many friends. So when he meets Yva Santos, he was immediately drawn to this sassy and feisty woman who had no problems reminding Lucas of what she thinks of him. Lucas is intrigued by Yva and her strong personality. She doesn't care that he's a billionaire. And when Yva didn't fall for Lucas's charm,it enticed him and he couldn't stop thinking of her.
Yva Santos does not want to ever be a kept woman. She vowed to herself that she will never be a victim. The physical and emotional scars that her ex-husband left was a reminder that she will no longer be that woman who lives in fear. But when she learns that her ex-husband has been released from prison, she finds herself retreating and slowly fears for her life and safety. Fear that her ex will want retaliation. But what Yva didn't expect was that fate was a funny thing. As much as Yva wanted to avoid Lucas, their paths kept inter-crossing and soon she find herself trying to fight off her sexual attraction to Lucas. Well she tried, but the more Lucas engages with her, she couldn't hold him off any longer but submitted to her desires and lust. And it only took one taste of each other for them to be both addicted. Soon Lucas and Yva were involved in a sexual relationship. Yva makes it known to Lucas that she wants only sex but soon they find their feelings and attachment to each other beginning to intensify. So can Yva let Lucas into her heart and make herself once again vulnerable to a man? Can Lucas show Ysa that her scars are a reminder that she is a strong, resilient, beautiful woman who survived? Can she allow Lucas to shoulder her burden? Or will Ysa push him away and allow her ex and fears ruin her chance for a happily ever after?
"I might be a little ragged around the edges, but I no longer felt like I was going to shatter into tiny pieces."
I absolutely adored and loved this book. Who doesn't love an enemy to lover trope? Because I know I sure do. There is nothing like getting lost in a story of two people finding an unexpected love. And the best kind of a love story is the unexpected. It's the unexpected that changes our lives. And for Lucas and Yva, their unexpected encounter lead them to love. What started off just as a booty call turn into something meaningful. For Yva, Lucas came into her life where she expected nothing out of it but suddenly she found him to mean everything in her life. So if you are looking for a story that reminds us all that love heals scars then I highly recommend you to read Beneath These Scars.
