Cut Wide Open by Abby McCarthyMy rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars
Cut Wide Open
by Abby McCarthy is book one in the Bleeding Scars MC series and boy is it an
emotional read! It tells the story of Charlie ‘Mouse’ and Gunner. Mouse lives
on the periphery, being a young girl in foster care, she has no voice and
spends her days watching the formidable Gunner. We see through her young eyes as
she sees Gunner’s life change, their relationship develops into something more
and then ultimately Gunner’s disappearance when Mouse needs him the most. Fast
forward years later when Mouse is a young mother trying to make ends meet, only
to catch the eye of a sadistic man who will do anything to keep her as his pet!
This was
quite an emotional story to read, especially when we see what Mouse has gone
through, both in her young life and as an adult. She has had to endure the
worst that humanity has to offer. I think what made it a little bit harder was
the fact that Gunner made an assumption about her to begin with which kind of
spiralled what happened to Mouse. I did enjoy how Gunner always said that Mouse
belonged to him and how he looked after their son when Mouse couldn’t.
This is a
story about enduring, and boy does the main female character endure a lot at
the hands of someone who was purely sadistic. At times the story was hard to
read due to Mouse’s trauma, but it was also filled with love and an MC that
would do anything for Mouse. Gunner was at times really intense but as we heard
more of his story, we found out why he was that way and how he was betrayed by
someone he called ‘family’.
Overall, a really good, heart wrenching MC story! Note: There are some dark elements in this book which may trigger some readers!
