Title: Written in the Scars
Author: Adriana Locke
Genre: Contemporary Romantic Suspense
Release Date: October 20, 2016
Falling in love is easy.
Falling out of love is the hardest thing in the world.
And Elin and Ty Whitt are terrible at it.
The first time the local basketball star smiled at Elin, she was a goner. It was just so damn easy to fall for the dark-haired hometown hero with his charming smile and strong, athletic build.
Thousands of sleepy smiles, aimless drives down country roads, and squeaks of the backdoor after a swing shift later, reality hits. And it hits hard. Falling in love was definitely the easy part. Watching it break apart was impossible.
Through the tears, the second-guesses, the memories of a life built together, the world keeps spinning. With each turn comes clarity and hope—sometimes in the form of a pair of muddy boots by the back door or from the words of a wise friend.
When Ty shows back up with a new found determination to put his family back together, Elin's torn between the fights of the past and the possibility of a new start. This is the man that holds her heart, the man she loves beyond anything else. But this is also the one person in the world that can cause her the most pain.
Life’s not always easy. Love’s not for the faint of heart. But with life comes lessons and Ty and Elin have the scars to prove it. But it's their love written in those scars that will hold them together … or break them apart.

Adriana Locke does it again with Written In The Scars. We read her books, we breath her books, we cry, laugh and bleed for her books. This isn't just another romance read it's Real it's Raw it's Relatable.
"Scars stick around to prove you showed up in life. That you lived. That you fought. That you loved."
This book starts differently to most other reads our main couple are already married and like real life, Life, Love and Marriage is hard work throwing in it's twist's and turns. You've got to learn and adapt to take the rough with the smooth or it consumes you. You loose sight of where you are and what your about. With the heartbreaking hand Ty and Elin have been dealt you can understand why there heartbreak has consumed them and pulled them apart from each other. Even though the love is there when your hitting rock bottom it's hard to fight.
But when you have the type of love Ty and Elin have fight you must and that's what Ty sets out to do. But can Elin trust him again he broke her heart.
Could you risk it all again??
I could understand why El had her reservations but i was still clutching my kindle for them to get it together.
“If you take you away from me, you take everything."
The emotions we get throughout this read not just from the main characters but from the secondary characters will hold you captive till the very end. There is so much to this book it's not just a simple romance book and to go into everything and very emotion that this book gave me i would struggle to write and to be honest anything i have wrote or will say is nothing compared to you reading this and feeling this book.
Adriana this book truly has everything from love, friendship and loyalty and the letter from Cord well lets just say i was a blubbering mess but i thank you for it because i loved this book.

Excerpt
I pull her into me, trying to put her, me, our life back together with my embrace. Her arms find my waist, and I hold her in the middle of the driveway, swaying back and forth in a moment I’ll never, ever forget. The feeling of my world careening back into focus, into the places it should be, nearly drops me to my knees with my girl in my arms.
“I should go in,” she says, looking up at me.
“It’s cold in there.”
She shrugs and I see her start to slip away from me again. Frantic, I struggle to find a way to stop it.
“Let’s go for a drive,” I suggest.
She looks at me warily.
“It’s just a drive,” I promise. “The house can warm up and then I’ll drop you back off, if that’s what you want. What can it hurt?”
“You won’t try to make out with me or anything, right?” she teases. “Because I know that look in your eye, Tyler Whitt.”
“Only if you ask,” I wink, opening the door to my truck and watching her climb in. Before I shut it, I lean in and whisper into her ear. “Hey, E.”
“Yeah?”
“I should go in,” she says, looking up at me.
