Book Review: Pretty In Lace

 

I am the fragments of a soul, shattered and worn. Once sold, once scarred, I was lost in a world where darkness was my only friend. My wounds run deep, and the scars will never fade. Escape was only the beginning, and I knew it the moment I ran. When our eyes met, I knew I was safe, but I refused to believe it. Even then, Gavin is a force that I simply cannot resist. He sees through the cracks and into the heart that still beats beneath the pain. His touch is dominant and unwavering, always pushing me to face what I fear the most. Will our love break through the walls I built, or will I only ever be pretty in lace?

This is a dark romance with HEAVY TRIGGERS. Reader's discretion is HIGHLY ADVISED!


My Review

If you have not read a book by Emily, you need to be aware that she writes with heavy themes. The FMC has usually gone through very traumatic events. They can be rough but just know that the FMCs come out of the situations stronger and survivors. 

In the case of Sofie, she did have to endure a lot. Yet, she had a great support system with her family and friends. They did not judge her but supported her. I loved the relationship between Sofie and Gavin. He fought so hard to rescue Sofie. 

The addition of Sawyer is nice. Both men love Sofie. I like that they did not push Sofie into anything that she was not comfortable doing. Readers of Emily will like this book.
