About this listen
Listeners will wipe their eyes and hold their breath in this heartfelt and stellar standalone romance from USA Today bestselling author Adriana Locke.
Falling in love is easy. Falling out of love is the hardest thing in the world. And Elin and Ty Whitt are terrible at it.
The first time the local basketball star smiled at Elin, she was a goner. It was just so damn easy to fall for the dark-haired hometown hero with his charming smile and strong, athletic build. Thousands of sleepy smiles, aimless drives down country roads, and squeaks of the backdoor after a swing shift later, reality hits.
And it hits hard.
Falling in love was definitely the easy part. Watching it break apart was impossible.
Through the tears, the second-guesses, the memories of a life built together, the world keeps spinning. With each turn comes clarity and hope—sometimes in the form of a pair of muddy boots by the back door or from the words of a wise friend.
When Ty shows back up with a new found determination to put his family back together, Elin's torn between the fights of the past and the possibility of a new start. This is the man that holds her heart, the man she loves beyond anything else. But this is also the one person in the world that can cause her the most pain.
Life’s not always easy. Love’s not for the faint of heart. But with life comes lessons and Ty and Elin have the scars to prove it. But it's their love written in those scars that will hold them together … or break them apart.

Story
After losing her husband in a tragic accident, Julia Gentry is barely surviving. Raising her young daughter alone takes everything she has—and that’s not enough. She’s barely making ends meet. And then tragedy strikes again. Julia’s only hope lies in the last place she wants to look—in Crew Gentry. Her husband’s brother is broody. Irresponsible. He’s broken her heart more than once and let her down every time she’s needed him.

Story
If Renn Brewer would’ve asked me to marry him, I would’ve said no. Why? One, his reputation precedes him. His name is in the headlines at least once a month. Two, he’s not just my brother’s best friend. They’re teammates. And three, I’m in my self-care era. Unfortunately, a version of me equates self-care with bad choices.

Story
From New York Times & USA Today Bestseller, Vi Keeland, comes a steamy new romance novel. The rules: No dating. No sex outside of the game. No disclosing the terms of the contract. Rules were made to be broken, right? Eight weeks ago I signed a contract. One that seemed like a good idea at the time. A handsome bachelor, luxury accommodations, and a chance to win a prize my family desperately needed. There were some rules though. Lots of them actually. Follow the script, no dating, sex, or disclosing the terms of the deal.

Story
When Gabrielle Solomon falls, she falls hard. Even if that means literally toppling over a porch railing in nothing but a flimsy towel—right in front of her sexy new neighbor. Jay Stetson is 100 percent hero material with those arms, that chest, and his deliciously oh-so-sexy smirk. The chiseled hunk in flannel has an irresistible off-limits attitude while plucking Gabrielle out of the bushes and saving her from a snake. Unfortunately, he’s not indulging in what Gabrielle is offering—not with his emotional train wreck of a past.

Story
The first time I met Dawson Reed, we wound up in bed. The problem was, neither of us knew the other were there. When I woke up in the middle of the night and found a stranger next to me, instinct kicked in and I attacked the intruder. Only it turned out, the man wasn’t an intruder at all. Dawson had rented this cabin, too. Apparently, a system glitch allowed a duplicate booking. We’d soon find out we were in town for the same wedding, and Dawson was the groomsman I’d been warned about. He was as tall, dark and jaw-droppingly gorgeous as my best friend had described.

I’ve always been the person that does whatever someone tells me I can’t. Can’t graduate with a four-point-oh? Check. Can’t win a modeling contract without trying? Did it. Check. Can’t make it in the pro football league? Triple check with an MVP Award on top. When my best friend told me to stay away from his little sister, Layla, it didn’t sound like a challenge. Then again, I’d never seen her before. He obviously wasn’t thinking about who he was talking to if he believed I could ignore her.

Foolish women fall in love with the bad boy. Cane Alexander was bad boy personified. Confident, he entered a room with his piercing blue eyes wearing a smug grin. He was the proverbial red flag wrapped up in a ridiculous set of abs. I tried to resist him. After all, I was done being a fool. Maybe it was his charm, or perhaps it was his persistence. Maybe it was how he entered my life and refused to leave. Whatever the reason, I fell for the one man I should’ve resisted.

More attractive than ever and sporting a sinful smirk that tells me he hears “Yes” too much. Figures. He offers me the divorce I want, but on one condition . . . Two nights together, for old times' sake.

When my stepbrother, Elec, came to live with us my senior year, I wasn’t prepared for how much of a jerk he’d be. I hated that he took it out on me because he didn’t want to be here. I hated that he brought girls from our high school back to his room. But what I hated the most was the unwanted way my body reacted to him. At first, I thought all he had going for him were his rock-hard tattooed abs and chiseled face. But things started changing between us, and it all came to a head one night.

The job was simple. Always answer the phone—no exceptions—then solve the caller’s catastrophe as efficiently as possible. The rules were simpler. They contact you, not the other way around. Never give them your real name, number, or any personal information not required to help a newly single dad keep his head above water. And never, ever get involved with a caller.

The contract is only for three months, but if I keep my head down, work hard, and prove myself, maybe I could stay longer. Maybe I could make Black Mountain Lodge my home. As I pull down the gravel drive, surrounded by the forest and mountains and bright blue skies, I feel something I haven’t felt in a while. I feel hope.

Except....It turns out, he’s Denver Gilchrist, lead singer of the Road Kings, the legendary band that broke up five years ago. How was I supposed to know I was sleeping with a genius rock god? I’m just a piano teacher who plays jazz on Thursday nights. I have a happy, single life with my cat. I don’t need Denver’s brand of chaos. But now, I’m addicted. And so is he.

Two, he’s not just my brother’s best friend. They’re teammates. And three, I’m in my self-care era. Unfortunately, a version of me equates self-care with bad choices.

Story
When Gabrielle Solomon falls, she falls hard. Even if that means literally toppling over a porch railing in nothing but a flimsy towel—right in front of her sexy new neighbor. Jay Stetson is 100 percent hero material with those arms, that chest, and his deliciously oh-so-sexy smirk. The chiseled hunk in flannel has an irresistible off-limits attitude while plucking Gabrielle out of the bushes and saving her from a snake. Unfortunately, he’s not indulging in what Gabrielle is offering—not with his emotional train wreck of a past.

An emotional read
This book had me emotional at every turn. I don't cry often when I read books, and this one got me good. I fell in love with all of the characters. Marriage in trouble books are some of my favorite. I love seeing the couple going through this change and trying to figure out how to handle what life throws at them. Ty and Elin had a lot going on. From Ty's accident in the mine to their struggles with having children. I felt their pain when they held back their feelings. I connected with it.
Adriana made each character feel so real. It was like I knew them and they were my friends too. Even the side characters I felt connected to. I love that about her writing, and this book was no different. There were times I wanted to sit down with both Ty and Elin and smack some sense into them! Which is something I love in books. It really shows you their flaws as real people have, and these characters have so many, but its what makes the book so good.
This was the first time I've listened to Emma Wilder and Lance Greenfield. Emma stole the show for me. When things went wrong, she took the emotion to a whole new level, and I felt Elin's pain through her voice. I liked Lance as well, especially towards the end. I felt like he really brought the fear of what was happening to life.
If you love a book, that will make you smile and cry all at the same time. This one is perfect.

“It’s the scars that make us who we are."
Written In the Scars was a highly emotional and heartbreaking story of a marriage in trouble that touched my heart deeply. Ty and Elin were two people who were desperately in love with each other but life and circumstances had beaten them down and had them turning against each other. This realistic and heartwrenching story will have you feeling EVERYTHING as you watch these two navigate their feelings.
Emma Wilder and Lance Greenfield voiced this emotional title and I enjoyed their narration. Emma’s was great as Elin as she dealt with all her fears, insecurities, grief and conflicting feelings surrounding her marriage. Lance was perfection as Ty as he dealt with the pain he had caused and his fight to put his marriage back together again. They helped me get lost in this story and made me feel every emotion.
Both Ty and Elin were struggling with their feelings and had trouble communicating with each other. They had been broken down so completely that they had trouble seeing the light and they just made my heart hurt for them. When they were finally putting the pieces back together, a tragic event rocks their foundation even more. This gripping, compelling and emotional story will tug at your heartstrings and make you realize that you have to fight for love every day in order to keep it.

Loved it
Written in the Scars is such a beautiful, heartbreaking and emotional story. This is a marriage in trouble, second chance and high school sweethearts romance. Elin and Ty have been having trouble in their marriage and after a work accident and some personal issues Ty picks up and leaves. To see the pain and hurt Ty and Elin were going through was truly heartbreaking. I loved how they slowly found their way back to each other. Ty does everything to make sure he gets his wife back and I loved every freaking moment of it.
I loved the side characters and I truly got the feeling of being in the presence of family and unconditional love. The last 20% omg was heartbreaking and very emotional.
The audio was AMAZING!! Emma Wilder and Lance Greenfield did such a wonderful job bringing these characters to life. I highly recommend listening.

Beautiful.
I really loved this story. It had me in all my emotions. I have never read a book before where the MMC is a coal miner. It made the story more interesting and made it seem real. As well as the struggles all the characters were going through in the book. Adriana, you've made me happy and heartbroken at the same time. I'll never forget this book. It will definitely be a top audio for me in 2024. Emma Wilder and Lance Greenfield narrated. They did a great job. Please go listen to this audiobook.

Emotional and amazing read!
Narration by Emma Wilder and Lance Greenfield
This book will rip you apart, put you back together, and then take you right back through the cycle. You will feel Elin’s love but also her anger, pain, and fear. Emma did an outstanding job narrating this book and making you feel every emotion the characters were feeling. I had a hard time at first with Lance as Ty. He did a great job portraying the characters and his intensity was perfect towards the end of the book. This book is worth reading and deserves way more than five stars.
Ty realizes the mistakes he’s made and his determination to correct them is unwavering. Ty and Elin’s story is of love, loss, strength, and redemption. Theirs is a relationship that gets tested more than once. Their love was never in question but the obstacles they faced can make or break a relationship.
Adriana Locke writes characters in a way that gets you invested in them whether they are the main characters, side characters, or cameos. This book in particular has one of the most amazing side characters that sticks with you and captures your heart. Have tissues nearby because you’ll need them!

Emotional roller coaster with wonderful narration
If you love emotional roller coasters that tear you apart and then put you back together again this is the listen for you. I cried my eyes out while listening to Emma Wilder and Lance Greenfield bringing this story and the characters to life but what made this a very special listen was that I couldn’t see how Written in Scars was going to end until I listened to the final few pages.
Ty and Elin Whitt thought they had the dream and that their marriage was forever but life and fate had other plans. Broken hearts and a broken relationship has this couple going their seperate ways until Ty comes back wanting to rebuild the life they once had. But will Elin give him another chance………
This is a heartbreaking journey, it’s beautifully written with wonderful characters, the narration is just perfect. I loved everything about this emotional roller coaster and I’m sure you will too. Adriana Locke has given me a book that has stayed with me long after the final page was listened too.

Emotional second chance!
4.5 out of 5 stars!
It has been 3 years since I first read this book and it is no less emotionally charged. Maybe even moreso with the narration by Emma Wilder and Lance Greenfield. Elin and Ty Whitt love each other, but sometimes love isn't enough. They were at their lowest of lows. Elin has had miscarriages that have dimmed the hope of having a family. Ty's injury has left him in pain. Ty thought going away would help things, but it only made matters worse. He is determined to win Elin back, but she isn't going to make it easy for him. Emma Wilder and Lance Greenfield brought Elin and Ty to life. I could feel their turmoil, their love, their frustrations. These narrators were the perfect fit for Elin and Ty.
I received an advance copy of the audiobook at my request and voluntarily left this review.

Heartbreaking and Beautiful!
Locke’s Best Book To-Date IMO
I…oh my…I feel like I’m speechless, and yet I have so much to say. Adriana Locke’s ”Written in the Scars” broke me. Like straight up, glued to my Kindle, ugly crying, used an entire box of tissues kind of broke me. Ty and Elin’s story is sweet, sultry, and absolutely heartbreaking, but the side plots grab you just as hard. Locke gives us an insanely good plot, relatable and beautifully flawed characters, and a whole lot of heat. Audio performances by Lance Greenfield and Emma Wilder only make it better. The raw emotion in their narration grabs you and simply won’t let go. Absolutely phenomenal story to read and to listen to!
