Only one word can describe this book....AMAZING!!!! I knew going into this book there might be parts that I struggled with emotionally, but I did not expect to become this attached to it. I have read Touching Scars four times and it keeps getting better. Never have I read a book that involved PTSD and have it handled/discussed it as well as Stacy has. This is a touching subject these days, and if it isn't handled correctly can go completely wrong. I have a personal connection with it and I will admit that I am extremely impressed. Stacy blew me out of the water! I have laughed, cried, gotten mad and cried some more through the book. If you haven't read it yet, go get it now.Timber Nelson just finished two tours in Iraq and suffers from PTSD. He watched his "band of brothers" dies and struggles with the guilt everyday of being the only survivor. (Rip my heart out). He doesn't think he deserves happiness, so when he sees Kat, a girl from HS, working at a bar of course he isn't sure what to do. He has to talk to her and find out what she has been up to.Kat is not without her own demons and struggles. When she sees Timber in the bar her first instinct is to run; he is/was friends with Adam and wants nothing to do with him. But she tries to blow it off as she doesn't know him. Timber of course isn't having that.Timber and Kat later find they not only need each other to breath and survive their pasts, but their lives will never be the same now that they have each other. Kat will be pushed to her limits to see just how much she cares for Timber when his PTSD strikes and Timber's tough guy act is put to the test with Kat as well. They are a perfect balance for each other. As with any relationship, life isn't perfect or without its struggles.This is one love story you don't want to miss out on. I have personally recommended Touching Scars to several people who like me, couldn't put it down. Touching Scars has everything you want in a romance. Lust, love, enemies, friendships put to the test, good times and bad. I don't think I will ever truly be able to put into words how great this book is and what it means to me.
