When an unexpected challenge tests Addison Wilde and Tucker Philips's bond, they must decide if they have the strength to face it together or let it stand between them and shatter their burgeoning relationship. Brittle Scars is perfect for fans of Jennifer Hartmann, Paige Toon, Rebecca Yarros, and Mia Sheridan.
But when Addison flees, unable to confront her true feelings and the new reality life thrusts upon them, Tucker is left heartbroken. Determined to win the love of his life back, he refuses to accept defeat and devises a plan to sweep her off her feet once and for all.
As life tosses them yet another curveball, Addison can no longer hide from her feelings and the truth—she needs Tucker by her side more than ever. But she also needs time to wrap her head around everything.
Now under the same roof, they navigate the complexities of friendship, love, desire, and ambition. As they explore their relationship and dreams, they discover a new level of trust and connection they never thought possible, and their bond transforms from friendship to a soul-stirring love story. When an unforeseen setback leaves their hearts broken and their souls bleeding, their love is tested in ways they never imagined, bringing them close together in the face of adversity.
Will their love endure the trials ahead, or will their unplanned reality tear them apart?
Brittle Scars is book two in the BreathLess duet. This is the conclusion to Tucker and Addison’s wild and heartbreaking love story.
Customer Reviews
Formerly second half of Wild & Country - extremely emotional!
Formerly Wild & Country - Brittle Scars is now part 2 of the Breathless Duet
I’m so invested in The Carter Hills Band series - and most of these books have chewed me up and barely put the pieces back together after finishing them (especially all of Dahlia’s stories)…. Even saying that, I wasn’t prepared at all this time. The blurb mentions nothing about where it goes, how it turns on it’s axis - there’s a huge plot twist. I’m pretty sure tears were streaming down my face from about 52% until “The End”! Wild is a tame title for Addi and Tuck’s tale.
Be prepared and forewarned - while the first half is fun, flirty, and lighthearted, and the story could come to a close at that point (the halfway mark), Snow writes beyond where the fling might normally conclude and both parties go on their merry ways, and she really digs into the deep issues, feelings and harsh reality of coupled-up life. About what happens when they decide to stick together and truly try to have a relationship after discovering the little accident that happened the night of Dahlia and Nick’s engagement party (when they got black-out drunk…. After betting each other who’d be the first to get a girl back to their room. You know). Even when it comes out not to be the case. Or maybe?
The story continues all the months later as relationships and friendships are truly tested, ups and downs and highs and lows… when the family history of mental illness comes out to haunt and sometimes it’s just too hard to get out of bed and function and do life as an adult and - (here’s the trigger warnings not mentioned anywhere; depression with a family history, parents leaving kids behind, post-partum depression, it all makes for a heck of tear-jerker story). They have to figure out if they can all carry on and stay and try to make it work as a family, after fighting so hard in the beginning. Watch out for your tears with their tears, your low mood and feeling everything they are (mark of great writing to feel all their emotions fully)!
I definitely do recommend this read, especially if you’re a fan of the series. But! make sure you’re in the right mental head space to read this second half about a big struggle with depression before getting into that, first! This is my trigger warning for this second half! First half, fun and light, second half, heavy and gets you in the “feels”!
I received an advance copy from the author and all feedback and review is my honest opinion. Thank you, Emmanuelle!
