Scarred is an unusual and engaging story surprisingly full of humor, considering how badly life has treated each of these men. I know little about the damage abduction and abuse cause, so I can't speak to the realism, but I teared up more than once as Matt and Vedie unlock and reveal, mess up and heal and grow. The epilogue was...nice, rather than great.

Minor quibble: As with many pets in stories, the cats were frequently apparently invisible. It is, I suspect, a word-count problem. Sadly.

Regardless, I'm happy to have read this and I'll likely be reading more by Mia Kerick. ( )
