Leave A Mark written by Stephanie Fournet (330 pgs) – finished reading 5/26/16 – 5 stars - Contemporary Romance

I really was so consumed by this couple’s story. A doctor and a tattoo artist meet during an unfortunate medical emergency, and he wants to get to know her better while she’s hellbent on continuously turning him down. Lee is totally intrigued by Wren, but she’s been hurt in the past and doesn’t think herself worthy of him. He’s so good and compassionate. He’s just so driven to make her see that she’s worth so much more than she thinks. With Lee’s kindness and understanding, Wren works towards healing. This book is so beautiful, but extremely emotional as well. With loyal friends and a sweet man, Wren may just be able to lift herself up from the past that has so often plagued her quest to just let go and live.

The author displays a real honesty for the abuse that was inflicted.  It was horrific and violating, but Wren was a survivor. And, as soon as she believes that, then she can get on with living.  And, that’s why Lee was such a vital part of her healing. The couple couldn’t be more different in their looks, but the chemistry was there and they seemed to really be smitten with each other.

You will definitely shed some tears with this one. It will make you angry at certain family members that let such a violent act occur. But, it’s the end result of the abuse that really had me surprised and heartbroken. The truth and honesty with Wren was powerfully enlightening. She was much stronger than she lead people to believe with that feisty and confident personality. Lee just couldn’t get enough of her even though his life was not absent from chaos either. With a father so domineering, Lee had to prove over and over that he was a very capable and resilient guy. Not a very easy task when your family member is a smart and well-known man.


You will not be disappointed with this one. The story is engagingly written. From the first page that is turned, you will be hooked. There’s humor, drama, and romance. And, the romance is very enticing. Intimate. Sweet. Lee and Wren just fit together perfectly. Can’t wait to read another of this author’s work!
