Book: Silent Scars

Release Date: November 28, 2015
Rating: 3.5 (I was offered an ARC in exchange for my honest opinion)
Her Man. Their Hero. His Pain.
What happens when you
pray for death and you’re ignored?
You have to live.
You have to survive.
But what if the last
thing you want is to take your next breath?
To the world, Ryan is
a hero, an ex-marine, brother, son and protector. He has devoted his life to
keeping others safe. He will do anything and everything to ensure his loved
ones are protected, even if that means destroying his very own soul. After an
explosion on the battlefield ends his career in the Marine’s, Ryan is sent home
with an honorable discharge. But the war hasn’t ended for him.
He is home, he is
free and he’s breathing, but he’s dead inside.
He wants nothing more
than peace, but the nightmares in his mind will not grant him that. They taunt
him, tease him and torture his waking moments. The darkness within him is
slowly consuming him, blackness has seeped into his veins and is rotting his
core. Ryan is a man on the edge of destruction. For once he is the one in need
of saving. He needs a saviour.
He needs her.
Ryan is commissioned
as a bodyguard to Aloura Cavendish. When he initially meets her, he believes
her to be a spoiled rich brat, wasting his time. But the fire inside her
astounds him. When he pushes, he never expects her to push back. When he runs,
she chases. For the first time in his life, Ryan has a protector willing to
fight his demons. The only problem – he is too afraid to release them.
The Review
I was recently introduced to Ada Frost’s books and I am glad
I got a chance to check her out. So far, I am definitely enjoying her books.
Her characters are certainly interesting! I did like
Silent Scars and I am glad I got a
chance to check it out. At first, I had a hard time connecting with the story
but after a few chapters I got into it. The overall plot was interesting. I
liked Ryan and Aloura a lot. She kind of reminded me of myself and I admired
her dedication to be there for Ryan and not losing herself in the process. They
even had great chemistry! There were some things I did not like. The
stalker plot did not appeal to me. Honestly, once she started planting little
seeds about who it could be, I knew who it was instantly. And when it came to
the final scene, it was really just a blah moment for me. Also, so much
instalove. It was annoying. One thing I did appreciate was the fact that she
drove home the fact that Ryan needed more help with his issues than Aloura
could provide. I really dislike books that have a main character facing serious
issues and the person they fall in love with is the cure all. It doesn’t work
that way which is why I am glad Ada Frost did not go in that direction. Overall,
I give it 3.5 stars! The book is being released today so go check it out! The
links will be posted down below!
