Shattered & Scarred by A.J. DowneyMy rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐ stars
Shattered
& Scarred is book one in The Sacred Hearts MC series by A.J. Downey. The
story focuses on the characters Ashton Granger and Ethan ‘Trigger’ Howard.
Ashton is a shell of her former self, having to be the ‘perfect’ wife to her
abusive husband or suffer the ramifications of being corrected. The night he
leaves her battered and abused on the side of the road is also the night that
she is saved by non-other than Sergeant at Arms and former Marine Crop Sniper,
Ethan who is instantly attracted and protective of the shattered Ashton.
The story
follows the development of the two characters relationship as they both come to
terms with their past as well as their future together. With Ashton trying to
heal from the abuse of her husband and Ethan trying to heal from his past and
what he has seen and done. I loved the introduction of other characters in the
story and how they embrace the healing Ashton into their mix and see how
special she is. The relationship that Ethan and Ashton have with Reaver was
also special and sexy.
This was
a well written book with not too much drama but more of a focus on two people healing
each other. I loved the development of Ashton’s character and how she became a
stronger woman with the help of the people around her. She was also just super
sweet! Ethan too was a great character with his own ghosts. I would have liked
to have known more about his past, but it didn’t take away from the story at
all!
If you like MC stories with a slow burn, then this is definitely a read for you!
