Until one night when a beautiful stranger came to his rescue during one of the darkest points in his life.

Caught between his guilt and his love for his family, architect Kai Lobo left Hawaii in search of a fresh start and a new place to call home. What he didn’t expect was to meet a mysterious stranger that will change the course of his quest for a new beginning.

What will Wyatt do when the only man that can save him is the same person who will drive him over the edge?

All The Cuts and Scars We Hide is a story about healing, redemption, and love.

Lovely heartwarming story

Garry Michael is a new to me author. I really enjoyed reading the book earlier this year when I learned about the series. The story involves two men who each suffered great loss and are dealing it with it in their own way. I would categorize it as low to moderate angst. But you definitely get a HEA. Highly recommended.

All the feels ❤️

This is my first time listening to a Garry Michael’s book and I’m quite impressed!

This story contains deeply serious topics like dealing and coping with PTSD, survivor’s guilt and anxiety. Garry managed to tell us a story full of hope, of overcoming adversities, big or small. It’s not based on an easily-obtained HEA. The main characters, Wyatt and Kai are deeply flawed. But their resilience, their fight to make life better and be better person, it’s what’s this story so good.

It’s all about hope, all about not giving up on people we love the most, all about forgiveness and moving forward. It’s also about family, not just by blood, but by choice and by heart.

I love that the HEA wasn’t tied up in a perfect bow, it’s a work in progress and life should be.

If you’re looking for a beautiful hurt/comfort, sunshine and grumpy, found family, marine & surfer, with a nod to Filipino Hawaiian culture, then this audiobook is for you.

Huge bonus: Michael Dean’s narration is on point, per usual. 👏🏼

What an amazing story!

What a roller coaster of emotions and I would do it all over again for sure. This book has it all. Romance. Steam. Emotion. HEA! Highly recommended.

definitely many emotions here ❤️

Wow! Definitely the author keeps getting better. All the Cuts and Scars We Hide has an amazing story for us. Kai and Wyatt are spectacular together! The romance is so beautiful and intense. The emotions are powerful, I cried, I laughed and I fall in love with them.

The quality of this audiobook is amazing. The performance spectacular. Great job!!!

A Beautifully Written Love Story

Garry Michael writes a beautiful story of wounded and vulnerable characters and the deep love Wyatt and Kai found with each other. It is a very emotive story and heartbreaking when we discover how damaged Wyatt is with his PTSD, which was written and handled sensitively. His pain and despair was palpable.

Kai is the sunshine to Wyatt’s despair and a beautiful soul but he was also hiding painful secrets. They become the perfect match for each other but they have to hit rock bottom before the healing process can begin.

I loved this book and listening to the story on audible brought it to life. This authors writing is very descriptive and listening to Michael Dean’s voice reading his words made it that much more … just more!
