His scarred hands are the gentlest I've ever known. If only life were a fairy tale where Beauty got to keep her Beast...Every morning I wake up and remind myself I am not my past, but beneath my drab clothing hides a secret—proof of the abuse I suffered at the hands of my possessive ex, tattooed on my skin in a lurid reminder of everything I've survived. I'm alone and in hiding, trying to rebuild some semblance of a normal life. I didn't expect healing to come in the form of a rough ex-con whose rage drives him in ways I'll never understand.Ivan's scars are on the inside—a wounded soul like me. But day by day, this gentle giant proves to me that there are second chances in life, and he deserves them as much as I do. And maybe finding each other will finally allow us to pick up our broken pieces and make something beautiful and new...This high-heat romance is an emotional tale of survival and contains strong themes of past domestic/sexual abuse.

"Under Her Skin is a poetry collection that delves into the raw and emotional experiences of women. I started reading it a long time ago when I received the ARC, but I didn't manage to finish it. Now, I thought I would give it another try. The poems have a dark and powerful tone that is sure to leave an impact, and while some of the poems may not be for everyone, the collection as a whole is a moving exploration of the female experience. While i appreciate the writers' works, I wasn't necessarily a big fan of this book and there is three main reasons why: <br/>1. I expected something more horror like, since the synopsis make it sound like that.<br/>2. Most of the works in the collection were free poems, which I am generally not a huge fan of, although I do recognise that it's a me problem and not the book's.<br/>3. Even though the poems were from different writers, it felt repetitive after a while.<br/><br/>Still, I would recommend this collection to anyone looking for a poignant read, since poetry is subjective and just because I didn't like it, doesn't mean that you wouldn't either."
