Mention of: death of parent[s], grief, pregnancy, death of a child, child abuse, and child neglect.

I went into this not realizing that this book wouldn't be connected to Hooked so realizing it's set in the early 1900s really through me for a loop at first. Since I'm so used to reading fantasy and historical romance with royalty...my brain kept trying to thing this was much earlier in time than it was so when they'd mention guns/cameras/etc it took me a minute to remember when it was set.

There is just something about a man, who had a rough childhood, that believes he's this hard carefree person when in reality he does so many things that shows he cares...thats just *chefs kiss*

We also love a leading lady who takes no bullshit and is willing to do whatever it takes to avenge a wrong.

A fun read though doesn't feel like a book I'll reread over and over.

I swear, There is crack in here ! 
It's best to go in blind but if you have any triggers check them. Even not reading back and jumping in this beauty would be best . So I won't give a summary . While this is second in series it can be read as a standalone . 
What I will share is ..
I loved this book ! The plot amazing , the smut perfection. Definitely a wild ride. I loved this . The angst . The villain and the main female character's chemistry is swoon worthy . Definitely recommend .

Better than hooked when it comes to the romance. He is DEVOTED to her. I eat it up. Sex is worse though. Plot is solid but the setting was odd. Why is she wearing a corset in the 1920’s?

This has easily already made it's way to my top books of the year. I finished this last night but was too busy silently screaming about so I wouldn't wake anyone up lol.  I went feral for this book. The tension, the angst, the chemistry, the slow burn, the enemies to lovers, the forbidden love, the drama, the action... 10/10. This is a million times better than the last book. Everything about this was perfect. 

This is a reimagining (idk if that's the right word) of the lion king but it's "scar's story". I loved the little references to the movie and I recognized a bit of Hamlet in there too. Tristian is great. He's smart, powerful, witty, sarcastic but also kinda soft?? Sara is a bad bitch. She's strong, a leader, intelligent, definitely one of the more stronger fmc's. Them together was amazing. The way he literally killed people for her was just... and the way she fought for him omg. Their banter was also great. The actual plot of the book was really good too not just the romance. I feel like if I say anything about that I might accidentally spoil something so I won't.  There was a lot of theories I had while I was reading and some I was right about and with some I was wrong but that's okay.  I can see myself re reading my annotations in the future lol. Overall I loved this one so much and would highly recommend reading.

I loved this book sooooo much Tristan aka the scarred prince was my literal favorite character in the whole book as much as you get to love the characters in the book you end up loving the story just as much if not more i was a little irritated of how slow it took for Tristan and Sara to get together but when they did omg was it worth it so far i honestly think scarred is my favorite book in the never after series i haven't read wretched or twisted yet only hooked and scarred i loved hooked but scarred was a perfect mix of character and story line it will forever be in my top 10 favorite books it is most certainly a five star from meπŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ’–πŸ’–πŸ’–β­οΈβ­οΈβ­οΈβ­οΈβ­οΈ
