Customer Reviews
Complex and Suspenseful!
This is the fifth book in the Scarred Hearts Series, an interconnected standalone series by S.M. West. Zero and Morgan's story is emotional, complex, and captivating. Zero is enigmatic, handsome, and protective. I loved his determination. Morgan is such a wonderful character, and a strong survivor. They are both damaged, and they a perfect together. The supporting characters are intriguing. I liked Elvis. There is a lot going on in this story, and the storyline is suspenseful, filled with mystery, and twists and turns. I highly recommend this series.
4 1/2 Stars for these two broken souls!
After reading Griffin, I couldn't wait for Zero's story. I loved Zero and Morgan! They were broken in different ways, but they could relate to one another. I loved that Zero was so attracted to Morgan and didn't know what to do about it. And Morgan tried to take control of her life ... "tried" being the operative word. I found the banter and situations to be very realistic. Then there's the chemistry between Morgan and Zero ... off the charts! Not only do I recommend this book, I recommend the series!
Zero is a computer hacker who uses his skills to help the FBI lock up human traffickers, but he will look into other cases that pique his interest. When he hears Morgan's 911 call, there is something in her voice that draws him in. Morgan was out on a blind date when her date was killed by a thief who was robbing a convenience store. Even though she's back at work, she is having trouble coping with the memories. When Zero approaches Morgan at the bar where she works, she thinks he's a stalker. Zero isn't good with people ... that's why he hides behind a computer. But he has to convince Morgan that he can help her even though he's giving off all the wrong vibes.
