See all formats and editions

In every way Elise is a survivor.

As a child, she was abused by the first man she trusted completely.

As a teenager, she was manipulated mentally and physically by a man, to the point that she could not see just how bad their relationship was. She ended up too scared to stay, but even more scared to leave.

Having suffered for years at the hands of men she trusted, she met Jensen. Finally, she felt that she had someone good in her life. Their relationship was all too brief, and when it ended she built a wall around her heart. How could she ever trust a man again?

Elise; a single, disabled mum. It was all too clear that men could not see past her disability. Forsaking the love of men, she concentrated on her son, Caleb. It was the one thing she knew she could do right. Her love for Caleb was beyond measure. He was her whole world. However, Elise’s best friend Sam had other ideas, and set her up on a blind date with an extremely hot paramedic.

With so much hurt in the past, she was not sure if she was strong enough to face rejection again. Could she truly open her heart again to another? Could Elise finally find her safe haven in his arms, or would he just add another scar to her soul?

First of The Jagged Scars Duet series.

I live in the UK and can usually be found with my eyes glued to my laptop or my nose in a good book.

I write contemporary romance and MM romance, published by Black Velvet Seductions.

Sometimes the past catches up to us in a good way.

Sometimes the past catches up to a person in a good way. With it comes a renewed sense of hope, trust, and happiness. Elise is a fine example of a strong and vibrant woman who learns to accept and love herself as she is, despite being labeled by others as “damaged goods.” Five stars.

A love worth reading about.

Won a copy during a giveaway. Voluntary Review:

Having been a disabled single parent myself I could completely relate to the trials and struggles that Elise went through all through the book. Trust and safety with others is a key factor people tend to take for granted unless you have been there done that. I will say that this book touches on some major subjects that aren't for just anyone. Child Abuse and domestic violence are the two things that some people can't handle reading about. I will say this though; the story is very well written and though it mentions situations it does not go into details of the child abuse but merely leaves suggestion of what occurred. You will smile at some things and feel heartbroken at others but definitely will hold this romance close for Drew and Elise's story is well worth reading.

Definitely look forward to reading more by this author.

Elise and Drew take us on a journey of the struggles of making a relationship work. If that's even possible. It also shows us the highs that make their efforts at love make sense. A wonderful romance that will make you ready to read the sequel.

Oh wow, when i started reading this I didn’t expect it to hurt my heart as much as it did.

Safe was a great read, I absolutely love how Keren put this story out there.

It’s raw, it’s real and it’s absolutely heartbreaking but there’s more than sadness, there’s happiness and love and so much more.

Drew and Elise are incredible people, both been hurt, they both know pain and they’re both scared to be hurt again, they have walls up surrounding their hearts and they feel like they’ll never be able to love someone again.

This book is a second chance romance, a romance with ups and downs, a romance filled with pain but for every pain there’s twice as much happiness.

The things Elise has had to go through is heart breaking. From such a young age she’s been wronged by the people who were supposed to protect her, the people she trusts to keep her safe. To go through all that she’s been through and still come out strong is pretty amazing, she’s amazing. I felt for her, my heart aches for her and my eyes watered for her. I’m so glad Karma came around to that POS.

Keren did an amazing job on this book, her main characters were loveable as were most of her secondary ones. She put so much into this book and you can see it through her words, amazing.

Won a copy for honest review:

Karen Hughes really took me through all the emotions with this book. I felt like I went through all the trials and tribulations with her. Being disabled later in life myself, I am so blessed that I had my husband beside me 100% This book made me stop and think about that (which I already do often) and I went and thanked him for his support. I don't want to get into what all the book is about b/c you can read all that in the description... I do want to tell you, this book makes you FEEL. One click! You won't regret it!!

Keren Hughes takes you on an emotional journey through this book. You will definitely laugh and cry but you'll also feel heartache and sorrow. Elise and Drew don't have a typical romance. There are ups and downs but true love really does win every time!! Elise and Drew will teach you that love isn't always easy but that it is worth fighting for. This is an amazing story told by a fabulous author. Safe is a must read as it just might save your life or your love.

Safe was kind of a second chance romance. The kind that warms your heart. Book had a great flow, characters well developed. It was a nice easy read I cant wait for book 2

Reviewed in the United States on December 9, 2018

Voluntarily read and reviewed an arc. It starts off sort of slow. I'll admit I was confused but at the same time I wanted to continue reading. This was my first book by this author and I plan to read more. As it neared the end it peaked my interest and I can't wait to read the second book in the series.
