Worth the read
Took a little bit to get into this one, but once you do it, was a great read. Absolutely loved Lucas.

Well well well...this was one HELL of a book!
It’s been a long while since it took me 5 days to finish a boom but with this? I needed to take A LOT of seconds lol. I’m a no triggers kind of girl and Broken Scars definitely touches on hella triggers; rape, child pornography, child abuse, attempted murder, drug addiction, prostitution, alcoholism...you name it.
So this is Lucas & Lily’s story. I loved most everything about this books. I love the strength of Lily and her will to simply want to be better! She cleaned up her act, started living with her gma and dumped her sorry sack of a boyfriend and basically fell into Lucas’ lap.
Lucas Crane owns a tattoo shop and has had the worst childhood you can imagine. But through that and his PTSD he’s tried to live as normal of a life as possible and then Lily walks Into his shop.
These two addicts are hooked on each other from the start, I mean it’s truly a love story for the books. It’s got a great bad guy, a decent motive behind his bad-guy-ness and then a HUGE plot twist and amazing bonus scenes! I loved every word of said book. Ah and the sex! SHEESH! It’s steamy and sexy and dirty and...WHEW!
I will say, before this review gets super lengthy lol, my only hiccup was that I feel like the whole “hacker” thing fell to the waist side. And then also like their jobs...after the first maybe 15 chapters...they never go to work or talk about money or really anything regular life related. like..what? how are y’all surviving, how are y’all eating!!

Holy Amazing!
Talk about a rollercoaster ride! This book had me ecstatic, pissed off, tearing up, screaming, laughing and loving! Definitely one to read as long as you can handle some deep and dark issues. But it had an amazing HEA!

I have a real love hate relationship with this book and JM Walker. She teased us mercilessly but fuck, has she given us the book we prayed for. Lucas and Lily are so broken but their jagged edges fuse with the other. They are perfect for each other, broken pieces and all.
This book is huge, lots of ups and downs, steaming hot sex scenes, and sweet intimate moments. This may just been my favorite book of 2019 and it will definitely be read again.

I received a free ARC copy in exchange for my honest review. These are my opinions.
Wow! I feel totally wrung out after that book. This story is like riding a rollercoaster. It has highs and lows in that your emotions will soar and your heart will be crushed. This story is also full of surprises. I know I am gushing but I cannot recommend this story enough. Be Forewarned - it is raw, violent, intense and gritty. Take the trigger warnings seriously. It is not for the faint of heart. If you are strong enough to ride through with the characters, you will get to the heartwarming, happily ever after ending.
Lucas and Lily are broken people. His childhood was horrendous to the point he barely survived. She lost her parents in a fire that almost consumed her as well. Both turned to substance abuse to cope. They somehow found their strength and got help. Then they met each other. Nothing was the same for either after that. Nothing was easy but the end was worth every minute to get there.
This is the first book I have read by J.M. Walker. I can honestly say I laughed, held my breath and cried throughout Lucas' and Lily's story. The characters were so well developed I felt like I was there with them. The story moved slow enough that we become entrenched in their stories but it holds your interest. I will be actively seeking out other books by this author.
