Painted Scars by Neva Altaj
- Plot- or character-driven? Character
- Diverse cast of characters? No
3.0
1st person, Dual POV
Standalone
Tropes/Plot details:
- MMC buying expensive thing to FMC
- Height difference (FMC is 5ft)
- Age Gap (FMC is 24, MMC is 35)
- 3rd act breakup
- Pregnancy at the ending
Steam: All the "smutty" scenes lasted less than a page.
I read this bc of an insta post that said sth like:
"When he orders his man to sit down when she enters a room bc it made her nervous/bc of trauma"
It was a scam, it was mentioned only once and it lasted a paragraph.
My opinion:
If not for the stupid 3rd act divorce I would even have said I liked this.
Overall: it was bad but I've read worse.
Also even with HEA their relationship probably wouldn't last long, by the end of the year they'll be divorced again lol

FMC even said once that their sex lasted one minute and it's pretty accurate. Lit every scene he pulled inside and both of them immediately came.I read this bc of an insta post that said sth like:
