Book Blurb:

A second chance romance. What happens when you fall for the boy next door? Bea Norwood had the market on normal. Drama free life? Check. A single-mother who doubled as her confidant and partner in crime? Check. A neighbor and best friend she trusted more than anyone? Check. But that was until the day her mother remarried. The day that changed everything. When her best friend's cousin, Liam Falcon, is sent to live with his aunt and uncle to clean up his act, Bea finds herself falling for the boy next door. With their hearts so infinitely entwined, Bea turns to Liam as her only escape from her new step-brother's daily torment at home. Bea thought their love could conquer anything. But she was wrong. Love was for fools, and she was the biggest fool of them all. When Liam left Lakeport, he took her heart with him, shattering the organ to pieces. Six years later, Liam takes a trip back to Lakeport to visit his family, and to see HER. His first love. The girl who holds his heart. The same girl who shattered it six years ago without looking back. Liam is hell-bent on seeing Bea again after six years, but what he finds tears his heart in half. Bea Norwood is a shell of the girl he fell in love with. Underneath the baggy clothes, and pale skin, he knows she's still in there somewhere, he just needs to find her. Liam will stop at nothing to win his girl back, but sometimes, ignorance is bliss, and Liam isn't prepared for Bea's truth.

Reviews:

Wow! Just wow! I had no idea what I was in for when I started reading this. I never read the blurb. I just saw that it was written by S.M. Soto and I was sold. She is such a masterful storyteller and I am never disappointed with anything that she writes. She is a must read author for me, but this book right here completely shattered my heart. It absolutely broke me. It's gut-wrenching, but yet also a beautiful and intoxicating love story. At times I was smiling with a full heart and other times I was sobbing like a baby. 

The abuse scenes in this were so real, raw, intense and graphic. The violence and humiliation that Bea endured was enough to completely destroy a person, but she was strong. Her spirit may have been broken, but she fought hard to protect those that she loved. She was a survivor and after all of those years of suffering she finally got her HEA with her soulmate. 

All in all, Ache is a powerful story of hope, strength, friendship and love. For those of you who can handle the triggers, this is definitely one read that you will not want to miss. 5 Hauntingly Beautiful Stars! 

I read this in literally 4 hours last night. This story is so heartbreaking, yet it is a HEA so there is that to look forward to. Warning this is not for the faint of heart.This story is graphic in its abuse, in the need to rise above, in the rising spirit of the human soul.
There is lots of back and forth between past and present, and it's heartbreaking, but necessary. The pace is perfect, it does lag a bit in the middle, however it's all part of the authors wicked ways of making you feel for her characters, oh and you will. The story is told in dual pov.

Blurb:
Briggs,

Remember when we parted ways in Germany? It was the day I broke your heart. What you didn't know was that I was breaking mine too.

I thought they’d be enough–my husband and my son. That I’d get home and everything would go back to the way it was . . .

Before the war.
Before the ambush.
Before you.

But, no matter how hard I try, I can’t erase the trauma we shared. I can’t seem to forget the way my heart beat in time with yours.

The truth is I’m lost without you.

I thought the nightmare was over when they pulled us from that hole in the ground, but nothing could have prepared me for the war I’d face at home.
I know it’s selfish of me to ask, but, please, I have to see you one last time. . .

All my love,
Scottie

Review:

My heart hurts. This book is to blame. This book at times was so painful to read, I was in tears and had to put it down. Half of me wanted to keep reading the other half was begging to stop. The writing is flawless, The emotions are so raw, real, gritty, and you feel EVERY emotion in your soul. I have never read a book so emotionally driven before.
There is angst, then there is this book. Scottie, Briggs, Gavin, and the rest just grab you and don't let go. I love how it was written with the alternating pov, it really helped you delve into the characters hearts, and souls, and I really don't think this book would have worked any other way, other than how it was written.
The subject matter was intense, the feelings are intense. There is hopelessness, hate, anger, fear, loathing, hope, survival, lust, and love all rolled in this book, and you bet that these two authors tackled this and made it into this amazing book. The roller coaster of emotions is so worth it. All I can think about is this book. To me, these are real people, living their lives. Well done authors, well done.
