I'm feeling a tad torn about how to rate this book. The writing was good, and I liked Rhys. Unfortunately, Cory was the headliner here, and well, I'm sorry but I wasn't a fan. Sure, I understand that the guy had the sort of childhood that guaranteed a whole slew of emotional scars, but he was a major asshat for nearly all of the book. While I can sympathize with what he may have gone through, his experiences also do not excuse his bad behavior. To be perfectly honest, I didn't get what Rhys saw in Cory and why he seemed to have this decade and a half-long crush on him. Yeah, Cory was nice to him, but the fact that Cory couldn't remember ever even meeting Rhys and then proceeded to take advantage of Rhys's being such a nice guy didn't really sit well with me. By the time the book ends, he does begin to turn over a new leaf, so the happy ending is a bit more believable. S.C. Wynne had a promising story, enough that I was entertained for the duration, but my dislike of Cory did affect my overall experience. Damaged Heart receives three stars. ♥
