Darlene Tallman’s Scars of the Soul is a nice romance read about two people dealing with hand they’ve been dealt in a positive way. I would love to read about the rest of Rhett’s family.

A sweet quick romance that blossoms from friendship to so much more. Amy is making changes in her life, for herself and her own health, Rhett is part owner of the local gym and a returned vet with some minor PTSD issues. This is a stand alone novella that is great for an afternoon of escape
I received the paperback for attending an author event in March 2019. This was the first I had read the words of this author. It was a quick, evening read. I enjoyed the author’s wording that drew me in and had me chuckling a few times. I actually enjoyed the approximately first half of the book more, as it was the “getting to know you” stages, their interacting more in the setting in which they met, etc. It was definitely a cute read and I’m sure I’ll enjoy reading more from this author.
This quick, steamy read was originally published in an anthology. While it’s not very long, it is a complete story, and isn’t attached to any other stories the author has written to date. If you’ve not read anything by her before, this is a good way to jump in, and get a taste of her writing style.
Amy is a woman who has initiated a lifestyle change. A medical crisis has prompted her to change her entire life around, to try to get healthy, and reclaim her body. While at the gym, she meets Rhett, one of the siblings that own the gym. There is an immediate attraction, but she doesn’t seem to believe that it could be reciprocated on his side. Rhett, on the other hand, is former military, working his way through PTSD issues, and seems to be biding his time, until he feels that she is ready for him to reveal his affections!
To be as short as it is, this book is full of hot,steamy goodness! I loved how accepting Rhett was of all of Amy’s issues, and how they immediately seemed to just click with each other. This book is absolutely full of the love and support between the two of them that makes this author’s books so amazing. This was a great, short read, perfect for when you need a quick pick me up!
