Author: CA Harms
Series: Scarred by Love, Book 2
~ SYNOPSIS ~
Kate thought she and Carson had finally reached level ground. They had moved in together and were preparing for the arrival of their baby.She never thought they would only be driven further apart by his withdrawn and distant behavior.
Carson had always had his freedom, and for a moment, he thought he could still live that life.
Only Kate needs more. She can no longer pretend that what he’s willing to offer is enough.
By the time Carson finally realizes that Kate deserves a better life than he’s been giving her, it may be too late.
He may have finally pushed her away to the point of no return…
Okay. I started this book very early this morning and had it not been for all the work I had to get done today, I would've finished it in ONE SITTING. I am a slow reader, mind you, and in no time I passed the 50% mark! I simply could NOT put down the book. I was fully engrossed from page one, and I LOVED every second of it!!
We met Kate and Carson in book one and CA Harms wasted no time in creating emotional angst right off the bat for these two. At the end of Scarred by Love, we found out that Kate and Carson were expecting a baby. SURPRISE! Yep. Neither of them expected such a thing to happen or so soon, but they moved in together and Kate was very much excited to begin her life with Carson by her side. Lovely, right? Well, not so much.
You see, this book started 7 months into Kate's pregnancy and to say things between her and Carson were rocky would be quite the understatement. Carson wasn't ready to leave behind his freedom. Their "honeymoon stage" in the relationship was long gone and he was not handling things the right way. Now, how CA Harms wrote this book, it allowed me as a reader to fully understand the characters. So while Carson was being a dick on the outside, I saw -- and felt in my heart -- that he was, in all honesty, scared shit-less of what was to come. And that's understandable and very real. I mean, what new parents aren't scared? Yes, the way Carson was acting was far from honorable, but I got it. While my heart ached and broke for Kate, I never once hated Carson either. Call me a softy, fine, but that's the truth.
While it tore Kate apart inside to make the decision that she saw as inevitable, she left Carson and moved back in with Riley and Zander (main couple from book 1). We immediately saw how this opened Carson's eyes and made him begin to man up. He stopped at nothing to prove to Kate that he was truly sorry for screwing things up...royally. And again, I felt his remorse. I could genuinely tell he had changed.
NOTE: I am NOT DONE READING this amazing book. I am pretty much DYING to dive back in. I am at approximately 60% and things are good! GAH!! The plot is still most definitely interesting and I am loving how the story and other characters are developing. I will post a full review with star rating tomorrow!! Eeeekk!! I am seriously LOVING this book. :)
