Kissing Scars by Jim Shomos. I loved this book. It was a little different from the romantic comedies I usually read but it was so good. Once I started I couldn’t put it down. Its the story of Sanaya a computer games designer who moves to Australia in search of love and a family. Once she arrives she meets Leo and they fall in love. The only problem with that is, he is 20 years older than her and has 3 almost grown kids and he does not want anymore kids. Is Sanaya ready to give up her dream of having her own kids? Leo is at a point in his life where he wants to be a magazine writer and travel and doesn’t see anymore children in his future. Will Sanya and Leo be able to make it work? This book will rip your heart out and put it back together. Be prepared to read it from cover to cover once you begin!

I grabbed this book solely because I fell in love with the cover, I went in blind which is something I don’t normally do but because the cover was so inviting I decided to try something new. It took me just a couple kindle swipes to get into the flow and writing style of this author and then literally could not put it down! This story was so beautifully written and I completely fell in love with Sanaya and Leo. I felt like I was actually on their journey with them and their feelings were described so well I could actually feel every emotion. This whole story was different for me, it wasn’t your normal sappy love story (which dont get me wrong, I love sappy a whole lot) but there was a different feel to this. It’s listed as a rom com, and I see that but there was very subtle humor and most of it was the interaction between Sanaya and Leo, which makes sense because there was not a lot of other character involvement within the story.

There was one scene which literally tore my heart out and without realizing, I had tears running down my cheeks and my heart hurt. This was both my favorite scene and my least favorite in the story. If there is one downside to the book, it would have to be I wanted more, knowing what happened next would have been awesome, but my imagination handled the rest.

I can not wait to read more from this author, I loved this book and am so thankful judging it by its cover paid off in spades! I can’t recommend it highly enough.

Kissing scars by Jim Shomos is a quick, easy, and sweet read. It a Contemporary romance about finding love unexpectedly- written beautifully with emotion, humour, drama, angst, and obstacles to overcome.
Because this is such a short little read, I don’t want to give too much away- suffice to say that though this may be short, it packs the punch of a much bigger novel.
Sanaya is a computer games designer who has moved to Australia to better her career. She might have moved for her career, but Sanaya also dreams of one day starting a family. Then along comes Leo, who is two decades older than her, with three grown children of his own and no desire for anymore. But the heart wants what the heart wants- and so this story unfolds. What happens next makes for a emotive read.
Now that I have had a taste of what he can do I am looking forward to reading more of Mr Shomos’s work.

Thank you, Jim Shomos!

I enjoyed this romance comedy story. This is my first book by this author and I look forward to reading more from them in the future. This is a well written story that the author used attention to details to give the story a realistic feel. The characters bring the story to life and made the story easy to read. This story is full of emotion including a few laughs mixed into the romance. This is a story about Sanaya leaves India to start a new life and start a family one day. Then you have Leo who is a father of boys. When his son reaches 18 years old, Leo decides to pursue his dream of writing. What neither one of them expects is to find the other and what fate has in store for them. I enjoyed their chemistry and what they brought to the story. They are fun characters that just made the story for me. I highly recommend this book.

Kissing Scars tells the tragic love story of Sanaya and Leo. Unexpectedly falling in love with one another, Sanaya and Leo seem like the perfect match–until Leo tells Sanaya he has no desire to have more children. 48, divorced, and with 3 teenagers, Leo is looking forward to his new life. Sanaya, however, is young, looking for her future husband, and wants to be a mother. What will happen when their worlds collide? A well written, short romantic novella, Kissing Scars is a must read for romance fans. One of the best parts of the story is the raw, real dialogue between the characters. The author paints a vivid picture of both character and environment.

I absolutely fell for the characters and their love story EXCEPT their differences but somehow that didn’t stop them from winning love together. This book hit me on a deeper level than just being a love story though: It was one of true love, compromising and what relationships with others are really made of. From the way this author wrote to the way the cultures blurred together made this story much more beautiful to the reader in unexpected ways: in magical ways, this book is highly recommended!

Kissing Scars by Jim Shomos is a sweet, romantic novella. I am not going to mention much detail so that I do not give the entire story away. This was a fast read and I read from beginning to end in one sitting. Sanaya is moving on with her career but is ready for love, marriage, and babies. Leo is ready to enjoy his empty nest as his youngest child leaves home. What will happen when these two people meet? I enjoyed the realistic scenario and that the characters are not completely in sync with one another. Completely realistic! Will the two be able to compromise in order to be together is a huge question? I was rooting for them and understood their struggle. I liked the characters and the setting of Australia, makes me want to start traveling. This is my first book from this author but I look forward to reading more from him in the future.

What happens when two romantics fall in love…only to find that they want two different things for their future? That’s what Kissing Scars is about.

Sanaya moves to Australia to further her career. There, she falls in love with a divorced man that is twenty years older than her. Leo has raised his children and is ready to follow his dream of travelling the world and writing stories for a magazine when his youngest child moves out. When the two begin to fall in love, they realize that Leo does not want any more children and Sanaya is ready to become a mother. Can these two find common ground? Or are their future plans too at odds to make it work?

This is a novella so it isn’t very long and I don’t want to give anything away. I was invested in this story from the first page. Not only was I invested emotionally, but the descriptions made me want to visit Melbourne! Each of the characters is lovable on their own, and together they are fantastic. I found my heart soaring and breaking right alongside them. A wonderful story that I thoroughly enjoyed!
