I won this book in a first reads here on librarything...I was very interested in reading this book after reading the blurb...once I started it it took a bit to get into the book..it was cute ..,has some very sweet moments ...I liked the interactions between Dyson and Kayla ...but I was not as hooked into the characters...it was slow and short...overall the story was ok....good bones, it not quite there...I am not sure what it was but something was missing for me...so that's why the 3 stars.

. . . And they lived happily ever after . . . or did they?

The cover reads “A new Adult Romance Novel “ and that is exactly what this book is. Kayla comes from a horrible childhood, Dyson is sexy but has a questionable past, he comes to her rescue, and then they seem to run into each other wherever they go. Destined to be together, neither one is very good with commitment. Because of this, when he sees her being friendly with an unknown man, and she becomes scared after watching him as a semi professional cage fighter, can they overcome their personal monsters? Bring in a dog with a glass eye and a three legged cat, and then watch the magic happen. There is plenty of adult sexual activity – but it is not so much between the main characters, more so about them. Dyson feels that he needs Kayla to be 100% ready and comfortable before they take the next step. You will have to read the book to find out if it is a happy ending or not. If you find yourself longing for more of Kayla and Dyson, no problem – the author promises to bring them back in a sequel.… (mehr)

Battlescars is a sweet romance between two 20-something characters who have each suffered traumatizing events in their past. Dyson is an MMA fighter out of the military with what seems like at least a touch of PTSD. Kayla is a college student suffering from a horrible childhood dominated by an abusive, alcoholic father.

The two seem to instantly connect and then keep running into each other. The storyline is interesting, though it seemed to be lacking or too drawn out in some areas. More action or dialogue between the characters and less internal struggling would help.

I found the idea of Dyson waiting for Kayla to be ready in bed to be an extremely gentlemanly gesture. If you love someone enough to wait it doesn't feel unrealistic to me. However it did strike me as odd when the storyline sped up incredibly fast in other areas - milestones such as Kayla moving in with Dyson and Dyson proclaiming his love seemed rushed.

Interesting storyline about rising MMA star that falls in love with a victim of child abuse. This book was okay. Easy too read. Characters and story could have been developed better.
