Beneath the Scars

Beneath the Scars - Melanie Moreland "He said once I let myself feel something good, it would change me. It would change how I felt about the world."

Megan has come to the coast to heal and start over. Zachary has found solace in the waves to forget. Theirs is an unlikely friendship. One who keeps trying with the other trying not to. Once they both give into the pull, theirs is a unique love story. But not without a lot of angst. Megan has some hurdles to overcome but Zachary...whoa...his skeletons have skeletons. This beautiful broken man just has a hard time learning to trust and feel. Ms. Moreland has a way of writing male leads that you can see how their environment and nurture impacts their true nature. Side characters come in and add to the storyline. Karen and Zachary - loved every scene they were in together. There were a few different points in the storyline where I got frustrated with the characters. But that's maybe the true mettle of an author to get you to react.

If you are familiar with her debut book, Into the Storm, this is another complicated relationship journey and filled with angst. You root for the characters to find the connection they desperately need.
