I didn’t want to put this book down however, life ya’ know. Anyhow, I became invested in it, there are crimes that our FMC is involved in, all in the effort to help her sister. She unalives people, she races and steals cars. There is a mafia presence. She is no damsel in distress that’s for sure. She falls in love…no spoilers. There are a few twists, also maybe a few tears along the way, so be prepared. 🖤🌶️🔪💀😢❤️

As much as I enjoyed this book, it does need a little proof reading there were a few errors that I know most of us skip over but still needs doing 😊

I don't like insta love and insta lust. Also this one girl between all the guys that all seem to be obsessed with her wasn't for me.

[Izzie Langford · Rating 5 out of 5]

At first I was annoyed with the way Brody's and Nina's relationship started but by the end I understood why it was how it was. The plot twist was absolutely amazing and unexpected. I'm giving 4.5, taking half star for it not having enough description, but overall a good forst book from the author.

Finally is here 🤩🤩 i've been waiting for this book for some time now.

Loved this book for 3 reasons and i will share this reasons with you:
1.Loved it because it is a fast read,it is very funny and it has fast cars soo..........yes 🚘.I like to read books that keep me hooked from the beginning and this met my needs.

2.I loved it because the FMC's name is Nina(same name as me) and she is a badass who does not accept easily to be betrayed and used.Her revenge was well planned and carried out.

3.Yall let me tell you about the plot twist this book has.I did not expect what happend and i'm so glad i didn't think about it and that it was written in such a way that you wouldn't expect it.

Like many new writers at the beginning of their careers,she still has some aspects to work on,but that doesn't mean it's not a good book and that it doesn't deserve a chance.

Overall,i'm glad i had the opportunity to read it and that i could enjoy it.

Congratulations and good luck further 🍀🤗

[haylie · Rating 5 out of 5]

This books was absolutely incredible. A tough as nails fmc and bone melting mmc's.
I absolutely devoured it.

[Rachel Burke · Rating 4 out of 5]

Wow!! I feel like I just read 4 books there was so much action and drama and plot twists! I truly didn’t see a lot coming and it was great! The FMC, Nina or Angel, was freaking bad*ss!! And the guys, well everyone had a role to play in her life. This story brought out so many true emotions. I don’t often find books that make me cry, but you got a few out of me. I’m curious to see if we get another book on Brody.

5 STARS for Perfect Scars by ( new for me ) author Anna-Kat Taylor

This read was a page turner from start to finish with a plot twist I did not see coming ! Nina was such a great character.

If you are a fan of mafia / dark romance you will enjoy this read !.

Loved it 🖤 I couldn't put it down, nina is a badass boss bish! Wasn't too sure of damiano at first but ended up loving him, I loved the racing vibes

[Ana-Maria Anica · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really liked this book. Easy to read and digest and the smut is on point, although not too many scenes. Just the right amount. You wait for the plot twist 😎😎

[Thrones Of Smut · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked the story. On the spicy meter, I give it a 1/2.

[Simplymetaramarie · Rating 2 out of 5]

I believe there are some really good parts as well as some really choppy sections in this book. I read a lot of spelling mistakes and how things are worded at times is awkward, which sometimes made it difficult to concentrate. Having to re-read sentences or re-word the sentences to have it make sense takes away from the storyline. Some events seemed to be rushed, or how they occurred were not believable. The sex scenes seemed to be what was awkward, and the story development was secondary. Editing errors and working on the story details will greatly improve this storymaking it what it was meant to be.

I loved this book from the very first chapter it was honestly perfection. The spice was perfect and the plot was there too unlike some other books. This book literally had me on the edge of my seat so much and at other parts I had a stupid smile on my face while reading. The plot twists in it kept the storyline alive and I loved it. I really would recommend this book to anyone and this won’t be the last book I read from this author.

[Deanna Bullivent · Rating 5 out of 5]

This has been on my TBR for years and honestly? I just didn’t feel drawn to it. Trying to cut down on my TBR pile and fuck me, I’m obsessed with it. I devoured it in a day which isn’t like me. I read 100 pages a day but this? It was like a drug. I loved Nina so much. The book had me crying, the smut was smutting and the plot twists? Had me on the edge of my bed screaming. 10/10 recommend!!

[Maria · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love reading Anna-Kat Taylor stories. I love the characters in this story. Very entertaining, spicy. intense. a page turner. Well written. I highly recommend. This author does not disappoint and can't wait to see what she writes next.

[Queeniefolden · Rating 5 out of 5]

Mild dark romance, 3 on the spice metter. Loved that it started strong as I can't stand slow burns and the plot twists were great. HEA and I hope there will be more books in this world because I loved the characters.

[Amy Lismore · Rating 5 out of 5]

I love the character development and the writing style of romance

[Mihaela]

In my opinion, this book focuses more on the action, rather than being a romance i would say is an action book. From an action book point of view, I liked it, you have everything, sex, action, and unexpected events and at some point, you will not be able to see the plot. From a romance point of view, not really because everything is happening too quickly, in a too short period. It bothers me that the characters are having a change of feelings in the span of just a few days.
But otherwise, it is a great book, considering Anna-Kat Taylot is a newbie author, that`s why my honest review, which I hope will help her.
PS: loved part two more, even if it did not make too much sense who she ended up with. Did not like Bruno too much, sorry not sorry.
