Healing Scars
After her marriage unravels, Tyler Thomas returns home to Georgia with her young daughter. Defeated and disillusioned from years with a heavy drinking and unstable husband, she begins to pick up the pieces of her life and tries to heal from the abuse. Home feels safe to her. Especially after her ex, embittered by his shattered dreams of being a professional football player, spewed threats for years and placed the blame of not making the NFL draft squarely on the shoulders of his high school sweetheart, Tyler, and her pregnancy during their college years. Zac Jacobson, the local veterinarian has carried a torch for Tyler since moving to her high school as a junior. Now the beauty he remembers has moved back with her young daughter. He’s fighting demons of his own, suffering from PTSD after an injury forced him to medically retire from the Army. Tyler gives him an unexpected glimpse of hope to heal his inner demons. Just when it seems the two may heal and blossom together, Tyler’s vindictive ex-husband allows his shattered dreams to twist his logic, he unfolds a plot to take Tyler away from her new beginnings. Zac sets out to save her, pulling his resources to find Tyler, who have become his salvation. A story of broken dreams, and the healing power of love, Healing Scars will draw you into the complex lives and the imperfect souls trying to hold on to the best parts of themselves as they struggle with what life has dealt them.

Healing Scars is a sweet slow burn, military romance with tons of feels! I’m quickly learning that Audrey Ravine can pack so much emotion into her novels and it makes for a great read.
Healing Scars dead with PTDS and isn’t my
typical read since it didn’t something I’m super familiar with, but was such a fantastic read and Audrey Ravine’s writing makes it so easy to relate to the subject matter or at the very least understand it and connect with it. Zac was amazeballs. He’s just such a great guy and wanted to wrap him up in goodness and never let anything bad hurt him. Tyler was equally as fantastic. The girl has been through hell and back and has such strength and I couldn’t feel anything except for admiration for her. I loved these two together. Both people who have been through hellish experiences in their life and come out stronger on the other side even if they can’t see it sometimes. Their chemistry was sizzling and I just needed them to freaking be together or once again I was going to riot.
Emotional, beautiful, and wonderful story. If you like a tons of feelings in your romance and characters you can’t help but cheer for and love, then get Healing Scars immediately. 5 stars.

Sigh… Zac is SUCH a swoon worthy sexy god of a man complete with endless patience and a hot AF bod! Tyler is such a lucky girl! This story was perfection! Chef’s kiss for the slow burn, the epic moment of caving into desire, the suspenseful drama of douchebag Kent and the very satisfying HEA. One of my top romances I read this year!

OH MY WOW!!!! I didn't think I'd like this book as much as I loved it!! The reason being, is I'm not too much into the military and PTSD books, gives me too much anxiety thinking about it. But that's what this book was all about, and it didn't focus on that.
Audrey, GIRL, you are an amazing author, and please keep writing!
Tyler and Zac meet in high school, and have always had a pull towards each other from the beginning.
Ty couldn't act on it as she had always been with Kent. Zac couldn't do anything cause she had always been with Kent.
Years and a lifetime go by for them, and one thing led to another for Ty for her to move back home with Wyatt, her daughter. Kent no Longer in the picture as the abusive husband and father.
GUESS WHO LIVES RIGHT NEXT DOOR TO TYLER? YEP, ZAC!!!
Zac can't believe it and he's been through a lot in his life as well. Not just emotional scars, but physical scars, and he's soooo not ready to talk about it.
Their attraction to one another NEVER waned, and now what will they be able to do about it now that Kent is out of the picture, or so they thought? And what about Wyatt? Will Ty still be able to achieve her dream of opening a bakery?
The storyline was amazing, I loved everything that happened. The PTSD wasn't OTT, and neither was the flashbacks, and neither was the abuse from the ex for Ty. Which was good. Cause sometimes that'll put the book OTT.
I LOVED IT!!
Fave quotes from the book:
1. After two hours of moving in the southern heat, I know I smell like the backside of a rhino and probably look a lot worse. - LOL!!! Zac didn't see it that way, that's for sure!

Healing Scars was absolutely fantastic.
Tyler and Zac old friends from high school reunite when Tyler moves back to town with her daughter, Wyatt.
Zac, former army ranger never forgot that girl he fell for in high school and his love for her carried him through his deployment. Now, fate has given him a second chance to make Tyler is girl, once and for all.
Tyler is a great heroine. She’s stronger than she gives herself credit for, feisty and a wonderful mother. I've been that single mom, coming from an abusive relationship, and falling for a new man. I related to her on such a deep, personal level. Audrey did such a fantastic job in nailing the emotions and character spot on.
“My attraction to Zac, Kent’s unruliness, and Wyatt’s all circling around me—threatening to blow my life to shreds with the slightest change of the wind.”
Zac is such a swoon-worthy hero, and going in my book-boyfriend dungeon. He showed strength and masculinity when called for, but was soft, respectful and caring at all the right moments. When he called Wyatt “peanut” my heart absolutely melted.
Oh and Wyatt, can we just talk about that little “bug” and “peanut” here for a bit. She’s such a great kid and stole the show in every page she appeared on.
This is a wonderful story at how two broken people come together and help heal the scars from their broken past. Bravo Ms. Ravine on a job well done.

This is my first book by this author and I really really liked it. This is a slow burn, military romance. I found the story to be sweet, captivating and a little suspenseful. It’s about finding that one person who fits you, fits your life. That person who has the ability to heal your wounds and your scars. Two broken souls finding each other again, and that is just beautiful.
Zac has always had something for Tyler, every since he met her at 16. It wasn’t their time back then, they had a lot of things to go through before they could be together. Zac is ex military and has PTSD, the reason he had to leave is sad, but I know that these things truely happen in the life of the military. Zac is the sweetest guy when he is around Wyatt and Tyler.
Tyler is broken, she is scarred. Her past is something I know a lot of women live through, and I wish that no one ever had to again. Tyler is strong, she found the strength to walk away from that life and take her daughter with her.
I felt the connection between Zac and Ty right from the prologue. They were definitely connected in a way Kent and Ty never were. I loved them together. So much love, so much sweetness, so sizzling together. I would have liked to have known what happened to Kent. He got lost at the end. As well as Zac’s back pain. Other than that, I thought this story was great. I can’t wait to see more from this book world!

"You look like you need someone to help you live a little."
"I do live."
"No, you survive. I want to remind you how to live, if you'll let me."
You know the saying that timing is everything? It rang true for my husband and me. We had our first kiss in high school, and our second kiss 15 years later. And we're still together. Sometimes the stars just don't line up until the exact moment they're supposed to, and when they do, you can't deny the "meant to be's" in your life. The same rings true for Tyler and Zac.
Tyler Thomas had her life planned out. She'd been with Kent since her early teens. He was a safe choice. He'd get drafted in to the NFL, they'd get married, have a family and everything they ever dreamed of. Until, that dream turned in to a nightmare of fear, abuse, and degradation. She's heading home with her daughter, Wyatt, in tow -away from Kent. All she wants is some peace in her life for both she and her daughter. She doesn't expect that her new neighbor will turn her whole world upside down.
Zac Jacobson was the town bad-boy in his teens. The son of the town drunk, expelled from several schools, and pegged as the troublemaker. But that was then. Now, an Army veteran, discharged after a severe injury, and the local town veterinarian, his life is much different. But one thing never changed - his love for her. Tyler. He loved her from afar in high school, knowing he was no good for her and she was better off with someone like Kent. Her faded photo in his helmet helped him through his deployments and through his recovery. Now, she's his new neighbor and he's going to do everything he can to make her his this time. They're both broken in their own ways - maybe they've been brought together to heal each other. When Kent tries to destroy Tyler's happiness, will Zac be able to save her?
I loved this story! A bad-boy turns his life around and finally gets the girl of his dreams. A girl who was strong enough to leave a bad situation and start fresh, and finding the one she was truly meant to be with. A story of taking the pains and mistakes in your life, and letting them make you stronger, rather than letting them define you. I'd recommend this one to anyone!

Healing Scars will take you on an emotional journey of two people who think they are broken, and of two people who will heal each other in the best way possible. Wow. Audrey Ravine just blew me away. Talk about an emotional tailspin. One moment I'm laughing, the next I'm crying, and then the next I'm fanning myself.
Tyler is so strong. After suffering a hellacious marriage she finally gets away with her daughter and moves back to her hometown. When she bumps into Zac again, the man that's carried a torch for her since he was 16, she starts to learn to live again. Zac is all hotness with so much sweetness inside of him. The way he loves Tyler and her daughter, Wyatt, was breathtaking. Wyatt was a trip herself. After living through disappointment after disappointment she finally sees the way a man should love a woman and her daughter. I loved that Wyatt was as much a part of the story as Tyler and Zac.
These three have a beautiful love. A family love. Heartbreak, love, healing, and so much more. Healing Scars will whisk you away.

“Healing Scars” was an incredibly sweet story of two souls which were meant to be together from the beginning but ended up spending years apart before they could finally find their way back to each other. Tyler, a newly divorced mother of one, who finally had enough of her abusive ex’s behavior; and Zac, who still struggles to overcome the traumatic effects of his military service. I enjoyed the dynamics of their relationship tremendously. Tyler and Zac are one of those couples which you can tell were meant to be together, and both soon proved how one could help the other to heal the scars of the past. The ending was particularly charged with tension and I kept my fingers crossed for both of them. A great choice for all fans of the romance genre. Five stars!

What a amazing book filled with so many feels. A story of second chances and finding that person in life that can heal ones heart, mind and soul. When life knocks you down, you get back up and keep fighting because others are counting on you and the love surrounding you is so worth the battle. Zach and Ty have always had a bond and even after so many years it’s still there is full force. Along with them, Wyatt at 9 years old brings so much joy to this book. This group of three shows everyone what a family unit really looks like and just how powerful that’s can be. Such a fabulous book and I hope everyone takes the time to read it. Can’t wait for the next book!

I held my breath so many times while reading Healing Scars. My heart was rooting fro Tyler and Zac from the beginning. This book shows you should always go for what your heart wants not what everyone else wants.
Tyler and Zac..oh boy… they have some dirty thoughts!!
After both going through some sort of ordeal, it made them stronger.
Healing Scars deals with PTSD and Abuse.
I definitely enjoyed this book from Audrey Ravine. As soon as this book was done I wanted to flip to the first page and re read it all over again.
~make me forget him, Zac. Make me yours.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Audrey Ravine hits a home run with the feels in this book!!! Tyler is an abused mom who is trying to find herself. Zac, an old high school crush of Tyler's, is a Vet in the town they grew up together.
There is tension upon tension in this book! Audrey takes you feel every emotion from anger, to sadness, to joy. When they finally get together it was hot and dirty! Will definitely be reading book 2!

This ex-military/veteran friends-to-lovers romance is everything I needed right now. Tyler and Zac are the perfect couple then throw in Tyler's daughter, Wyatt, and it gets even better. Definitely a must read. It has the sweetness of romance and love between to people but also the darkness of PTSD and mental/emotional abuse that the love makes up for and fixes everything.

Friends to lovers
This was such a sweet romance. Tyler's dream of high school sweethearts living happily ever after did not work out the way she had planned. Instead she encounters an old friend and her life is changing into the way she had dreamed. Loved it!!

Great book by an author new to me. The editorial errors were bugging me, and something that I kept correcting as I read. I was expecting something to happen before it did (a few different times), but it just added to the suspense, knowing something would happen, but not when.
April 10, 2019
Love love loved it! Hot, spicy, sexy and intense. I plan to own all of Audrey's books!

Has it All
This story has it all. Renewing of a high school crush from years a go, mending a broken soul, and tension. The characters are believable and endearing.

Tyler's life didn't turn out the way she expected. She married her high school sweetheart and thought life would be great. That was until he didn't get picked for the NFL out of college and he had to become a cop. He blamed Tyler and their little girl, Wyatt. When things got really bad, Tyler left and moved back home. How was it possible that the bad boy she had feelings for would be living right next door? Zac can't believe his luck. The girl that got away, the perfect girl is back in his life and he is going to do whatever it takes to keep her. Will Tyler be able to trust in Zac and his love?
This was the first book by Audrey Ravine and she is going to be an author to watch. She has a solid style with developed characters. It was fun to see a couple that weren't together in high school get a chance to be together. Both have their baggage but want to work through it for each other. Wyatt, Tyler's daughter is so feisty and so adorable. I loved every moment she was on the page. This is the kind of romance that I love and I read it in a day! I am incredibly stoked that Zac's friend, the tattoo artist Trey is going to be the focus of the next book! Four stars for Healing Scars.

This was my very first book of Audrey’s that I have read. The entire series was amazing. The steamy romance and suspense in this book made it hard to put down. I love Zac and Tyler’s story!

Within the first few chapters of this book, it's easy to see the chemistry between Zac and Tyler from when they were in high school. Unfortunately, Tyler marries her high school sweetheart - which is not Zac - and things don't turn out the way she expected them to. Fast forward and Tyler is moving back to her home town and guess who her next door neighbor is? Yes, Zac! He's been through a lot while Tyler was gone and has some scars, but seeing her again is healing them. He's healing her as well! I loved how this was a friends to lovers story, neither of them rushing into a relationship they weren't ready for. I also loved Zac and Wyatt's relationship! The only thing that threw me off at times was that there seemed to be a time frame discrepancy. There were times I wasn't sure how much time had actually lapsed from one chapter to the next, whether it was weeks or months. Aside from that, I truly enjoyed this love story!

When things start to blossom between Zac and Tyler and they begin to heal from their traumatic pasts, her ex-husband threatens to tear them apart. If he can't have her then no-one can.
This book is BRILLIANT!!!! I loved it! I was interested from the beginning and was kept entertained from start to finish. I enjoyed how the characters stories were developed and how they interacted with each other. I don't think there was anything I didn't like about this book. I highly recommend you to read this, if you like a book with romance and drama with a twist.
My many thanks to the author for allowing me to review her book in exchange for a review.

I absolutely love second chance romance books. This is the first book i have read from Audrey and i am glad that i did. Well written intense book with a great story line and great characters who have amazing chemistry. I loved being able to see these two get a second chance at loving each other. But this book was so much more than that. This storyline was about both of them moving on from their past and finding the happiness they both deserve. I absolutely love the relationship Zach and Wyatt. Wyatt is just a little girl but she is so smart. And the relationship those to have is something special right from the start. I love how he know that no matter what Wyatt is first in her mom's life. This was a touching storyline from beginning to end. There was just something about it that will make your heart melt. A great book. I cant wait to read more from her.
