REVIEWS
This is a remarkable novel, with a fascinating hero and heroine who meet in the most unusual manner, and light up the pages of this stunning historical romance.
The setting becomes a vivid character all of its own thanks to this talented author, as Elizabeth Eltham, one of the Rakehell set, tries to save Ireland and the home she loves from Napoleon's invading troops.
The hero Will is physically and emotionally scarred, and we eagerly follow him along on his path to true love and redemption. The secondary characters are fascinating in their own right, and make us eager for a sequel as soon as possible to this magical novel.
-Evelyn Trimborn
An incredible book, with compelling characters, mystery, suspense, and some of the hottest love scenes I've ever read. I loved scarred hero Will and how he wins his true love Elizabeth, only to have her nearly snatched from him in a bizarre twist of fate. The author certainly knows how to keep the pages turning. I hated for it to come to an end, and all I can say is, I can't wait for the next books in the series. Pure magic from start to finish.
-Jacinta Carey
A beautiful historical romance, firmly set in the Napoleonic War and Regency period, with two unforgettable characters. This was a real page-turner I devoured in one sitting. One thing is for sure, the Rakehell characters are totally fascinating. I love the way Elizabeth develops in the Rakehell series, and Will, the complex and wounded hero last seen in Scars Upon Her Heart, is able to sort through the clues of their past to build toward their happy if hard-won future.
The romance was very sensual, and the setting breathtaking and magical. Sexy and scintillating alternates with heart-rending and profoundly moving in this marvelous roller-coaster of love. The Scarred Heart is the kind of novel you continue thinking about long after you've finished, and one you will put on your keeper pile and look forward to reading again.
