“A gripping, sensual and darkly romantic masterpiece."-- Frolic

Pretty Scars, Carrie Drazen’s long awaited love story from New York Times bestselling author CD Reiss, is available now!

In Carrie Drazen’s diamond-studded world, beauty is everything: a blessing, a commodity, and a curse. Her beauty got her past the velvet ropes and into New York’s high society, but it ripped her away from the man she loved and chained her to an unbearable life.

Then, in a single night, a song played by a mysterious and secretive musician carries her back to a past ripe with possibilities, when love could open any door.

Who is this anonymous performer?

How can a man she’s never met tell the story of a boy she loved with such precision?

She needs to know. But sometimes masks exist for a reason, and this unveiling could scar them both.

About CD Reiss

CD Reiss is a New York Times bestseller. She still has to chop wood and carry water, which was buried in the fine print. Her lawyer is working it out with God but in the meantime, if you call and she doesn't pick up she's at the well hauling buckets. Born in New York City, she moved to Hollywood, California to get her master's degree in screenwriting from USC. In case you want to know, that went nowhere but it did give her a big enough ego to write novels. She's frequently referred to as the Shakespeare of Smut which is flattering but hasn't ever gotten her out of chopping that cord of wood. If you meet her in person, you should call her Christine.

Standing ovation for CD for creating the Dreaded Dramatic Drazens

This family just keeps on giving. Princess is locked away in a castle and the fire breathing, all burning Dragon Drazen is playing Godfather.
"Having access to as much money as I wanted granted me just enough freedom to blind me to the fact that I was a captive to it. Legally, I was a grown woman. Realistically, I was a ward of the Drazen family. In particular, my father, who couldn’t have planned a more perfect way to delay the onset of mature self-determination."

Frustrating and tenacious, this story just wants to jump hurdles and bypass blockages in this thing called life..manages to get some respite too. But the puppet master destroys everything
Carrie is Princess Drazen, a family asset suffering from a Pretty Girl Syndrome
Only her Knight is violin playing Gabriel Marlowe.

But for every Prince to save the Princess he has to run through a gauntlet of fire...sometimes the Prince wins...sometimes the Dragon!.
“The truth is a weapon. It neutralizes whatever’s being held against you. Some people… a certain kind of person… they get vicious when disarmed. There’s no harm in protecting yourself.”
Reading a CD book is always a joy. She's a nuanced writer, acutely detailed storyteller. Unapologetic in narration and plot, she manages to engross readers with her mesmerising words, regardless of tropes. Gabriel and Carrie became mine from page one and I wasn't letting them go of them so easily. So I persisted and persevered with them...for them.
One particular scene was outstanding.
The Library scene!

Her fingers playing on spines of books very aptly titled, his looking at door to escape. Three big steps and outstretched arms and the kiss.....omg the kiss!! And then he plays her like an instrument **le sigh**😍
It flows smoothly like a violin melody, touches heart like a cello tune.
Intoxicating tale of love set amongst dreadful violence and fiefdom politics it's jaw dropping good!
4.5 stars for Denunciations and Promises
