Damien’s dark secrets from the scars hidden beneath his tattoos threaten to reveal themselves while Raelyn is faced with impossible decisions that need to be made.

Have ever read a  book that makes your breathe catch? You get caught up in the emotion, both good and bad, and you mentally fight alongside the characters, hoping for a happy ending to defy the reality of a situation. Tattooed Scars is a book that is intense. There is agony with a small tinge of hope, something you long to see to grow into something tangible to hold onto. When I finished Tattooed Emotions, the first in this series, I was stunned with the ending, frantic to see what happens. I was nervous about this book, knowing it was the follow up to what was revealed at the end and an uncertain future. Alicia Rae delivers a beautiful love story in which two characters, who are connected at the deepest level, must learn to fight for what they want and to chase their moments of happiness in light of an unforeseeable future.

Raelyn and Damien are so great in this story. The outside world ceases to exist in this book and you are swept away in their love story. There are moments of happiness so pure that you cannot help but smile like a fool. But there is also such heartache and utter tragedy at the unfairness of the world. When you read books like this, it can go either way.  The emotion is authentic. It is something you feel when you read. This book shows the good and the bad of situations like these. We see the intense mental battle Raelyn faces, attempting to determine what she wants to do. Watching her struggle with the choices she is forced to make are hard to grasp. The authenticity of the situation and struggle is something that hurts as you read it.

The love story between these two main characters is beautiful. At times it is messy, filled with intense reaction and emotions. Their young relationship develops into a partnership and soulmate like connection that goes deeper due to the uncertainties. I loved how they were connected on the deepest level. Daimen feels Raelyn’s pain. He mourns with her but also fights for her. Watching them clash and fight with each other and together is hard. The support and love between these two is real. There are moments of hurt and anger but also moments of hope and fight.

At the end of this book, I was not expecting more but I am so excited to keep reading. I felt drained in the best way after finishing this story. Alicia does a great job of connecting the readers to her characters and situations, allowing us to walk with Raelyn and Damien and experience everything they solider through. I cannot wait to see what Alicia Rae has planned for this series. I am nervous about what is to come but excited to see how this story unfolds!

Raelyn Jennings has survived the unthinkable. She’s been given a second chance to live, to breathe, to feel. Her ability to overcome such a traumatic hurdle has created armor around her heart. But beyond her shield is fear, a consuming deep one, of the unknown. Raelyn vows to herself that she’ll solely focus on the one constant in her life, her career as the CEO for a prestigious accounting firm.

Damien Heathman’s unrelenting determination has made him a powerful, respected man. He’s sexy and confident and utterly breathtaking. His dominance and strength is evident in every purposeful stride, every meaningful look, and every soft caress.
Raelyn has worked with Damien’s company, Heathman Enterprises, for many years, but they’ve never crossed paths—until now.

Damien’s presence fills a room. He steals Raelyn’s breath and sparks her broken heart back to life. Once Damien sets eyes on Raelyn, there is no turning back. He wants her, and he’ll stop at nothing to have her. Not even the dark secrets hidden behind his tattoos will stand in his way.

The chemistry is undeniable. The passion is palpable.

Can Damien convince Raelyn that he is worth the risk? Or will Raelyn allow her past to control her future, feeling the chance of another heartache is too great to bear?
