I received a free copy of this book to read and review for Wicked Reads.

This is a story I've been waiting for. Ms. Rivers has done an excellent job of taking a character who was portrayed as villianious and morphed her into someone the reader roots for.

Mending Scars brings resolution for both Dacia and Preston as well a few others living in Edenton.

I can't wait to find out what's next for the residents of this otherwordly friendly town.

Mending Scars had been a book that I had been waiting for featuring two of the most prominent characters from Edenton – Preston and Dacia. To be honest, I didn’t see them working out because Preston was the fun loving playboy type who didn’t really do long term and we know that he had his heart broken a couple of books back by Amethyst and Jamie. Dacia was the resident psycho b***h who thought she could have any man she desired an 4.5*s

Mending Scars had been a book that I had been waiting for featuring two of the most prominent characters from Edenton – Preston and Dacia. To be honest, I didn’t see them working out because Preston was the fun loving playboy type who didn’t really do long term and we know that he had his heart broken a couple of books back by Amethyst and Jamie. Dacia was the resident psycho b***h who thought she could have any man she desired and woe betide any woman who would stand in her way, she’s spoilt, she’s selfish, she’s manipulative …..oh and she nearly killed him…. Great start! So you can imagine my surprise at this latest coupling. However, I may have been too quick to judge both of them as their scars are laid open for all too see as they help each other mend.
So, we learn a lot about these two throughout the book that really changes the way I viewed them – Dacia especially. Throughout the series we have seen some her displays towards the women she feels threatened by but we also saw glimpses of the real Dacia shine through now and again in her willingness to help in a bad situation or try to do the right thing - but with her history, people find it hard to believe in her and also she has a tendency to mess things up or be in the place where everything goes down. What we don’t know is that most of it is a façade, people constantly want to use her, abuse her and generally treat her like crap – including a self centred mother and a monstrous father – she was brought up not to feel, told that she was worthless so that now, she feels unlovable. It’s hard for her to believe that Preston wants anything more than a fling with her because let’s face it – his reputation precedes him too. When they both realise that they share a bond that is much deeper, they are willing to explore it but both of their pasts will get in the way.
I ended up really liking these two as a couple and it was a pleasant surprise, they did have a connection and they did have chemistry – so much in fact that they couldn’t keep their hands of each other. I loved how Dacia’s vulnerability shone through, I thought she came across as very genuine and definitely scarred by others. I also didn’t realise that Preston had issues too, he comes across as very cocky and confident but we get to see a total different side to him as well. They steamed the pages up with their sexytimes as they tried to identify what they had and they did a good job of showing each other their feelings rather than saying it.
The storyline was great – as always! It crosses over from the Others of Seattle series and connects them both well. Remus (Dacia’s father) is the enemy and most wanted for what they uncovered about him and if you thought his depravity was shown in previous books then you’re in for an eye opener when they start revealing more about him. A lot of the story is devoted to the search for him, there are a lot of near misses and scheming which brings a few of our favourite characters together in the mission to find him which was so good to read and keeps in with the family/community feel of the series. Preston also has ‘Daddy’ issues too as it’s finally revealed who his father actually is and we also find out how and why it was a secret – I have to say, I loved this part! I love a secret child plotline and would really like to follow that thread more now that things are out in the open. I was really satisfied with where the story went overall, there are a couple of bad guys that popped up in this that I would like to know more about too but as usual this book was full of everything you need for a good paranormal romance/UF, continuing the quality of the series that are so easy to read and what better way to pass a few hours than with the ‘Others of Edenton’……. I wonder who’s next? ...more

Dacia was a total nut case in the stories leading up to this one, we got a few brief glimpses that maybe there was a decent person hiding inside her in, but then her inner bitch would come out and screw things up again. Preston was moping the last time we saw him because he couldn’t have who wanted because he didn’t want her when he could have her, make sense? I sort of felt like he saw everyone else pairing up and he was upset because he was alone.

This is the fifth in a series, and only if you have read the previous books will you realise how huge this story is. Dacia's behaviour in the past has been beyond belief at times, and yet there have been hints, so this was a very welcome book.

I was so excited for this one to finally be released. I have been waiting for Preston to get his HEA forever is seems like. You see he has been my favorite for a while and to see him go through the series and not have his HEA has been heartbreaking for me. I have to say when I found out that he had a thing for Dacia the “bad girl” I was not that excited. I was willing to give her a chance because of the small changes she was making but I wasn’t 100%.

Dacia has never been put first by anyone in her life not by her mother and defiantly not her Father. The only time her father even had time for her was when he need her for something that benefited him in some way otherwise she was useless to him. She felt like everyone in the town didn’t like her because of how she treated everyone in the past and because of whom her father was. Just to hear her back story and how her dad treated her broke my heart. How can a father treat their own daughter that way? When her father stirs up trouble in the town Dacia proves that she is not just the Prada wearing trouble maker the town has known in the past but she was just as strong as any of the other females in the series. I love that even though everything she went through it didn’t break her but made her stronger.

Preston was always the cocky and confident one but to see him pursue Dacia and pursue her hard was heartwarming. She never had anyone want her or fight for her before. Preston was determined to show her she was meant for him and she was his. I loved watching all the things he did for her to show her he loved her to put her first and to fight for her. I also enjoyed the conversations between Preston and Amethyst, Dacia and Fallon, Dacia and Dean, and Dacia and Amethyst when they were getting advice or just talking about the other. I also enjoyed Preston’s back story and learning his secrets. Man were those good ones too, never saw those coming.

This is one of my favorite paranormal series. There is so much going on in here I cannot even begin to know where to start. There is the love story with Preston and Dacia that is great. I mean really who do you know that can take a person that you don’t really care for and make her a favorite that you understand and have compassion for by the end. There were times when I was on the edge of my seat trying to figure out what was going to happen next. Oh my goodness and there was a time I was yelling, yes yelling, at my ereader “NO NO NO, this cannot be happening not now this is not how this is going to end IT CANNOT go this way!!” oh and trust me when you get here you will know this scene even had Robert on his knees. The fighting scenes once again in Brandy fashion are wonderfully written I felt like I was right there in the mix watching it as everything was happening. I am so ready for the next book already. I know who I hope it is but I’ll wait and see if it will be who I would like.

Some of my Favorites:

“I told you, and I’ll keep telling you, it’s you I want to get to know, you I want to please, only you.” He brushed his knuckle down the faint scar on her cheek. The line ran from just below the inner corner of her eye, down to the corner of her jaw. She flinched away, covering that side of her face. The hope died as her gaze went stony. “Because you feel sorry for me. I don’t need your pity.” “No, fuck not because of that! Yes, I’m sorry I put that mark there. But listen closely, that scar isn’t what I see when I close my eyes. What I see is the feisty woman who holds my interest for a laundry list of reasons. I want to learn everything about you.”

“Robert and I were instant friends, no matter how different we were. The first day of academy, we clicked. He’s the refined and reserved on, while I was the smartass and class clown. We balanced each other well.” ~Preston

“I’m not like Kurtis, or anyone you’re thinking about. I’m not. I’m not going to throw you away or take you for granted because you admit you feel something. So let’s make a pact.” He gave her a cheesy smile. “Until we’re sure what we feel, let’s not say it. We’ll prove our feelings with actions, not words. Maybe by the time you’re ready to define what’s between us, you’ll believe me.” ~ Preston
“This is why he makes a great partner. Funny, Liz is the same way. Makes me stop and look at things differently.” ~Robert

Dacia is a character that has grown through this series. In 'In Too Deep' she came across as needy, always chasing after men like Brody or Hayden, which made me feel sorry for her. However, as the story arc has progressed, I have found I like her a lot more. Her attitude has mellowed and she is not as catty towards the other characters. She is attracted to Preston but has been deeply scarred emotionally by her father, Remus or Aeremaius, as well as physically by Preston when she was possessed by Izackarus. Can Preston gain her trust long enough to win her heart?

Preston Emrys is a wonderful character, whom I have gotten to know in cameo's through the first few books of the series. I wasn't sure I liked him at first, but as I got to know him better in Falling Into Place through flash backs, I began to like him more. I am glad to now read his story. He is an enforcer with the Silver Council, the "police force" for the Others and has the ability to track the essence of the various supernatural beings. However, the mage is now determined to track and capture the heart of Dacia. As danger in the form of Dacia's father threatens to tear their relationship apart, he finds himself confronting new abilities and a father who had no idea he even existed.

I have been wanting to continue reading this series for quite some time. I started reading this story as soon as I could and was quickly hooked. I found myself thrust back into the lives of those living in Edenton. The story is told mostly through the eyes of Preston and Dacia, though other characters have a say too. This gave me the ability to see what they were thinking or feeling. It was wonderful to meet the residents of Edenton again, as well as Toryn and Isadora in Seattle, they felt like old friends. The characters themselves felt lifelike and likable, though I love to hate Remus. He may be a fae, but his sadistic tendencies turned my stomach. He has no concept of love or compassion.

The story is a mix of romance, magic and danger, and takes the reader on an emotional roller coaster ride from start to finish. There are some steamy bedroom scenes, which were very descriptive and explicit. There are several twists and turns in the plot that surprised me, though some scenes were slightly disappointing; I had hoped for a bit more action in the fight scenes for instance. Having said that, I love the description of a tattoo that Dacia has done. However, I'm too much of a chicken to go under the needle myself, even though the description made me want to even though there's no Fallon to make it come alive. I was, however, extremely disappointed to reach the end of the book. It felt like I'd only just started reading and then it finished! But, having said that, I raced through the pages as I was completely gripped by the story. Though this book does not finish on a cliffhanger, it left me looking forward to continuing the series with Light In Darkness to find out what happens next.

Brandy L. Rivers has written an entertaining paranormal romance series. I love her fast paced writing style, and the flow is wonderful. Her characters are lifelike and likable. With her ability to write in both the paranormal and contemporary romance genres, she is one of my go to authors when I'm in the mood for a sexy read.

Due to explicit scenes of a sexual nature, as well as use of bad language, I do not recommend this book to readers under the age of 18. However, I do recommend this book if you love hot erotic paranormal romances full of sexy men and determined women. - Lynn Worton ...more

Brandy quickly became one of my favorite authors and it’s safe to say that I will continue to read anything she writes, regardless of the genre – because yes, she not only writes amazing Paranormal Romances, but Contemporary Romances too (so far).

Mending Scars was yet another amazing installment in the Others of Edenton Series. While this was book 5 in the series, it can be read as a standalone. I always recommend reading books in order because you will always have a deeper connection to the characters and the storyline, but even if you haven’t read books .5 – 4, you will still be able to thoroughly enjoy this one. At least, I know I did and I’ve only read book 1: In Too Deep prior to this one. I will be going back and reading them all, though! I just LOVE these characters!

In Mending Scars, we got Dacia and Preston’s story. These two characters had a not-so-positive/friendly past. You can immediately tell (even if you haven’t read the prior books) that Preston and Dacia weren’t among the “most liked” characters in the series, especially Dacia. They had both done a few shady things in the past that well, yes, earned them their “I-don’t-like-you” statuses. And this is precisely the reason why I absolutely loved this book’s title: Mending Scars. It played into the storyline in more ways than one, both physically and emotionally.

There was SO much more to Dacia’s character, and Preston’s for that matter. Their back stories were intriguing; I felt for them and understood why they did the things they did. They both had their fair amount of issues that weren’t necessarily their fault – they didn’t know better. I mean, for starters, Dacia had one hell of an evil father that caused her so much emotional pain that it amazed me how good Dacia actually turned out to be! All she wanted was to be acknowledged, accepted, and loved by her dad, but nope. An evil being such as Remus wasn’t capable of those feelings.
Then on the other hand, we had Preston. He had this huge secret he’d kept all his life, one that could very well change his future, all while trying to bring down the most evil man of all, Remus. As fate would have it, Dacia and Preston ended up ‘bonding’ which of course made things even more interesting. After all, two broken souls completing each other? Heck YEAH.

However, falling for Dacia made Preston’s job a tad more complicated. Not only did he have his hands full with putting Remus away, but he had to do so all while keeping Dacia safe and protecting her not just from any physical harm, but from any and all emotional repercussions as well. I mean, he was trying to capture her DAD, nonetheless.

“You are my heart, Preston.”
“And you’re mine.”

Overall, this was yet another fantastic book by Ms. Rivers. The paranormal side of it kept me on my toes, fully captivated, while the romantic aspect kept me swooning nonstop (and blushing – talk about hot scenes!). She has truly done it again! Rivers delivered one more must read!! Five stars to Mending Scars!! I absolutely loved Preston and Dacia’s story!

While reading Brandy L Rivers’ newest Others of Edenton story, I openly admitted to her that I had never really liked either of the main characters and was hesitant to believe that she could make me care about them. But, to quote myself in a conversation with Brandy, “I'm only 41% through but absolutely love Preston and Dacia ... I was on the fence about Preston for a while but you've really made him into someone pretty awesome.”

But, to quote myself in a conversation with Brandy, “I'm only 41% through but absolutely love Preston and Dacia ... I was on the fence about Preston for a while but you've really made him into someone pretty awesome.”

It takes a talented writer to be able to completely turn around a reader’s opinion about characters. After seven books of not liking either Preston or Dacia, I can honestly say that I didn’t care if either of them ever got a happy ending. I now see how wrong I was. It’s like our parents, teachers, etcetera are always telling us: don’t judge a book by its cover. In Mending Scars - the eighth installment of the Others of Edenton – Rivers makes her readers re-think everything they thought they knew about the cavalier mage and haughty half-fey.

Never expecting to settle down, Preston has finally figured out just want he wants, but what he wants is Dacia. Dacia – hurt countless times in the past - doesn’t trust easily, so when Preston comes knocking, her instinct is to run from him.

Rivers bands these two unlikely allies together in the quest to capture a Fae fugitive who has been terrorizing both the others of Edenton and Seattle. The fact that he’s Dacia’s father only further complicates the story. Torn between how she feels for Preston and how she has long viewed herself and the world, Dacia is forced to make a choice between embracing who her father expects her to be and who she wants to be.

It’s in the quiet moments of the story that Rivers was able to completely transform this reader’s opinion of Preston and Dacia. Action sequences can teach you a lot about a character’s loyalties and skills, but it’s when their defenses are down that you really learn who they are. It’s these quiet moments that Rivers excels at. So many times just one or two lines between characters said more about where Preston and Dacia were mentally than could have been grasped in an entire chapter of action.

Now that I look back on the scenes in previous novels that made me dislike these two, I see more than their actions, I see the motivation behind those actions. It takes a writer with true skill and forethought to plan actions and consequences so far in advance and have those plans come to such amazing fruition.

Brandy Rivers never fails to provide outstanding stories and Mending Scars is awesome. I love the fact that some of my favorite characters returned. The characters are great, both the good and the absolutely evil.

I enjoyed watching Dacis gradually change into the person she was finally to become. She had so many personal demons that she had to confront and that wasn't easy for her. Preston has always been one of my favorite characters and he was especially wonderful in this book. His personal l ...more

This series just keeps getting better and better. We have met Preston and Dacia before but this book packs a punch bring a lot of history into the mix that we have not been privy to in the previous books.

Preston has always been a fun character in this series, bringing ...more

Slowly she is starting to change but even with these changes of heart she cannot seem to overcome the fear that she is unlovable and who can blame her? Preston has been a player for a very long time.

I loved this book!
Dacia has been seen as a bitch in the previous books of this series. That is exactly the way she's wanted it. She has never let a man close to her well guarded heart due to her father, Remus. The men she had in her past were never the real thing, even when she wanted them to be.
Preston has secrets and a heart full of love. Waiting for the right woman seems to be a never ending journey for him.
Preston wants to keep his fated Minx. While Dacia keeps pushing her destined Ember a ...more

I'm a stay at home mother with a wonderful husband who lets me write and write to my hearts content.
