SPOILERS AHEAD***

This is part two of the SCARRED HEARTS series. If you have not read book number one please be warned that this review may contain spoilers

Daphne has a one night stand with Zander. She gives him a bogus name and it is purely a hook up between strangers with unprotected sex.

You can probably imagine what happens next. :-) Daphne finds out she is pregnant. She has no idea how to track down the father and doesn't particularly care to.

Francesca, Daphne's best friend is getting married, Daphne tries to be a supportive best friend, helping with the details for the big day. During the wedding planning, Daphne, her best friend & fiancée meet up with some others. Lo and behold, there is Zander.

Enjoy the ride...

Chris Martinez is a solid performer, good.

The books in the SCARRED HEARTS series seem geared toward more toward young adults, except for the intimate scenes. I think that they would be better classified and appeal to a much younger audience as some of the scenarios just do not fit into a more mature audience. This is not a bad thing. These would appeal to a younger audience, as so much of the series is made up of a much younger, teen fantasy. If asked, this is what I would recommend. Cut the explicit sex scenes for innuendo and more innocent scenarios.

I am not an author and admire any & every author who has the bravery it takes to put their hard work out there to be enjoyed and judged-which I have done both as *I was given a copy of this book in exchange for my review.

I liked this one even better than book one...I found Daphne's story to be so relatable...I felt so bad for her, that she just thought she had no self worth to others..yet she was actually a really strong woman....I liked the twist here with Zander and her...2 people that really needed each other, accidentally found each other and it results in something so wonderful....This was an excellent listen..and I am on to book 2.5....

Thanks Felicia....I LOVED IT!!!
