review 1: 4 stars!This is a new author for me. Picked this up as a 'freebie' on Amazon..one of the better freebies I've read!This book is packed with a little bit of everything: Zander is a senior in college, interning at an architectural firm, in a band, close relationship with his mom, best friend that is a girl who causes drama, hasn't really had a long-term relationship. Riley is a junior in college, grew up being the only girl in the family/four brothers, crazy POS ex, best friend/roommate who has it bad for her brother. There's a lot of the common themes from YA books, but this works well. I love their compatibility. Great book, would recommend! Still free, so snag it!
review 2: Scarred by Love is the opening book in C.A Harms new series, and holy crap does t
... morehis series start with a bang. This book was amazaballs!! I loved every minute of it and it had me from the first page. We are introduced to the Parks family and their close group of friends. This book centralises around Riley the only girl out of 5 kids. She is a wonderfully well rounded character that can be soft and girly or rough and tough. And Zander, the only question I have about him is where the hell can I find a Zander?? I loved the writing style in this book, Miss.Harms gives us both points of views throughout the entire book, which gives us the chance to see how each are dealing with life.Riley is introduced to us in one of the worst scenarios you can imagine, she is in an abusive relationship and is in the middle of one of a beating from her drunken boyfriend Parker. After he stops she makes the courageous choice to leave. She runs to her brothers and they all surround her with support and love, along with one brother laying a beat down on Parker. Riley hides away ashamed that she let the destructive relationship go as long as she did. But months later she decides to own her life again. She moves in with her best friend Kate, who by the way I loved her too. She is the friend we all have or are to someone. One night they go out with Riley’s brothers to a party and that is where she meets Zander. Zander is instantly intrigued by Riley, he goes to make the moves on her and can’t believe when she brushes him off. Then with some serious misunderstanding about his friendship with his best friend Beth, Riley writes him right off. But then Beth comes to the rescue and explains that she and Zander are just friends.When Riley is invited to the bar to watch Zander’s band preform, it is fireworks from the word go. Holy hell these two are hot together. But Zander is also trying to heal from his own loss. He lost his mom to cancer and is still carrying the burden of being the product of an affair. I love Zander so much he is an amazing man. Even though he has his moments of stupidity, he more than makes up for it with the way he loves Riley wholly and without question.Riley and Zander’s relationship is put through many tests and angry words. They had me crying and yelling at my kindle over and over again. But the love and uber heat these to bring was totally worth the emotional rollercoaster I went through.Along the way we are introduced to all Riley’s brothers and Kate even begins to date one of them Carson. Their story is in the next book of this series and holy crap if I thought I was emotionally drained from Riley and Zander, Kate and Carson took me to a whole new level of a thrill ride. less
