Welcome to the Blog + Review Blitz for SCARS by Linda K. Rodante, hosted by JustRead Publicity Tours!
ABOUT THE BOOK
He tried to leave the past behind, but it won’t leave him…
Ex-gang member Garrett Lovett is a new creature in Christ. At least, he’s trying to be. He’s got a wholesome routine, a place on the IronWorks football team, and a pretty woman he wants to know better. But when the old gang resurfaces with the ultimatum to re-up or face consequences, Garrett has tough decisions to make. These guys know how to get to him—his addictions, his fears. When things get life-threatening, Garrett must decide if this God he’s heard about is real or not.
And if so, can he rescue Garrett and those he loves before it’s too late?

Excerpt from Scars: Ryann stepped in front of him, glaring, and put a foot on the ladder. “Just get out of my
way.”
Garrett frowned. “What do you know about roofing?”
“I can nail a tarp down better than you. Most likely. Are you one of those guys who
thinks women can’t do anything?”
“You didn’t impress me as—”
“Just give it a little time. I think you’ll be impressed.”
“All right, Princess. Let’s see what you’ve got.”
Her jaw clenched, but she started up the ladder.
He grinned and set out after her. “I’m coming just to hand you some tools.”
“I bet.” She climbed onto the roof and disappeared.
The other men would scramble up in a minute. He hesitated right before climbing onto
the roof. Okay. He probably was sexist. Was that the term nowadays? His dad was. For sure the
gang was.
He thought about his mom as he swung a leg onto the roof then inspected the area. His
respect for her far outweighed that for his dad. He wasn’t a complete chauvinist then. Just
women thinking they could outdo him when it came to construction—well, he’d take that
challenge.
“I have this great construction joke, but I’m still working on it.”
Her head swung around. “What?”
“I need to hammer out a few kinks first and nail the delivery.”
“Don’t even start. That won’t let you off the hook.”
“Or off the roof?”
Two hours later, Garrett wiped the sweat from his eyes. It had soaked his headband and
dripped like a washcloth being rung out. Ground water stood everywhere, and the heat and
humidity clung to his body like he sat in a sauna. Ryann had her hair in a ponytail, but still her
face flushed. And, well, she did know what she was doing. They’d managed to get the tarp
spread and nailed down faster with four of them working it.
