Scars Kindle Edition
I’m no longer the teenager who had everything at his fingertips. All it took was one moment to turn the world as we knew it into a painful memory.
I deserve the nightmares plaguing me.
Then there’s her, Riley Parker—the woman I left behind, my bleeding heart still in her hands. The hurt and anger in her doe eyes is justified. But I’m determined to prove to her that deep down, I’m still the same Cooper Graham she once loved.
Will I be able to get off this path of destruction, or am I doomed to live with the scars branded on my soul forever?
Trigger Warning: Scars is an angsty and emotional second chance romance. There is discussion of self harm in the past in this book.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 12, 2023Format: KindleVerified PurchasePlease note: This book contains subjects that may be triggering for some readers. Please be kind to yourself and read the TW before embarking on Cooper and Riley's journey.
Stefanie Jenkins never fails to hit me with all the feels.
Her writing is emotional terrorism at its finest.
Once again, I find myself sitting at my computer, eyes blurry, heart hurting—yet, overflowing with happiness—due to the emotional maelstrom I have just endured.
Riley and Cooper had a LOT of trauma to deal with.
Not only as individuals but also between them.
Understandably, there was A LOT of hurt and damage that needed to be addressed before they can co-exist in their small town.
After the emotionally charged beginning of the book, the steps that Cooper took to make progress in his recovery, and the discoveries he made regarding Riley, I thought we had turned a corner. We were granted heartwarming memories, sweet words, and moments of levity and laughter.
Boy, was I lulled into a false sense of security.
Because, just as the tension and drama exploded between two individuals, Mrs Jenkins pulled the proverbial rug out from underneath me—again.
Honestly, I'm still reeling from this beautifully tragic story.
Loss, love, hope, forgiveness and second chances collided in a hauntingly beautiful glimpse of how grief and guilt can flip your world upside down.
But that final chapter? Pure magic.

- Reviewed in the United States on April 14, 2023Format: KindleVerified PurchaseCooper, Riley and Tanner are graduating high school and embarking on their futures. Cooper and Tanner have been best friends since they were little. Cooper has found the love of his life in Riley. The three of them have their futures all figured out until one moment changes everything.
Stefanie Jenkins writes a beautiful story about forgiveness and second chances. It's a story about going home, facing your biggest regret, believing in yourself and fighting for what you want.
Cooper needs to learn to love himself and who he has become Scars and all.
- Reviewed in the United States on April 10, 2023Format: PaperbackI warn you, this book wastes very little time and sets right to doing its best to inflict some new scars on your own heart and trust me it succeeds. Cooper and Riley's story has a raw, painful genuineness to it that makes it easy to connect with and for some readers this could make this a challenging book to read. At its heart this book is an extremely angsty emotional romance that will definitely have you up in your feels, but it is also a very powerful read that deals with much deeper subjects like loss, grief, guilt, and self-harm. If you are looking for light and fluffy, you need to keep looking, but if you want meaty and moving, this book is just what you are looking for. This is my unbiased, unsolicited review.
- Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2024Format: KindleThis is a baseball themed, small-town, second chance romance takes you on a journey of love, loss, redemption, forgiveness & hope. This had my heart within the first few paragraphs. I cried, I laughed, I loved this book! Absolutely must read book! Perfect!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 23, 2024Format: KindleI read a lot of books a week, about 3-4, and I usually give them 4-5 star ratings because they are really good books that I'm glad I read. Every so often a book comes along though that is just above and beyond amazing... this book falls into that category. I got this as part of the Reveal Book Box and I am so glad I did as it is not one I would have read otherwise.
This book brought out all the feels.. the tears, the love.. I'm tearing up just writing this review thinking about the book. What Cooper went through.. What Riley went through... I so badly want Austin to have his happily ever after now. What an amazing best friend (and little brother). The journey Stefanie took us on fighting the demons they faced and overcoming them... what a book!!!
- Reviewed in the United States on April 13, 2023Format: KindleThis is Cooper and Riley’s story and I loved it! I just cannot get enough of these second chance romances! Be prepared for some tears and some difficult to read scenes. But it all comes together in a great love story. This story is about loss and forgiveness. Cooper carries so much guilt and it weighs him down. It caused him to leave everyone he knew behind and never look back. This story was beautifully written but prepared because the heavy emotional stuff doesn’t let up from beginning to end. Second chance is my favorite trope and this one by Stefanie Jenkins is a can’t miss!
- Reviewed in the United States on March 5, 2024Format: PaperbackI knew from the prologue that I was going to be in for a ride of emotions. This is a second chance romance - they were each other's first loves. There was a horrific accident that caused Cooper to just leave town and leave Riley behind. Six years later, he is back. This is a journey of forgiveness and healing after heartbreak, trauma and grief. I loved these characters and I loved Riley & Austin's friendship too. Stefanie is a great writer and cannot wait to read more of her work. Check your triggers!

5.0 out of 5 stars Wow! This book is sooo good
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseI can’t believe that it has taken so long to read this book that has been sitting on my Kindles for ages! Why I waited so long I don’t know but OMG! I love, love, loved Cooper and Riley’s story. Soo emotional, it has all the feelings and tragedy and I shed some tears. This angsty second chance romance is both emotional and beautiful as it plays out after 6 years apart. Cooper had left them without a goodbye to Riley. There is great character development in both the main leads and as they overcome their grief, trauma, heal their hearts and forgiveness. There are some trigger warnings about death and injury due to a car accident and some self harm, but overall the story is amazing. I have read all of Stefanie’s books and cannot recommend them highly enough. Read Scars today and you will be so pleased you did. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️+

4.0 out of 5 stars An Enjoyable Read
Format: KindleVerified PurchaseOoh, I actually teared up a few times reading this. Quite emotional but never quite heartbreaking. It was a good story.
