Menace
Once upon a time, there was a guy who got so fed up with life that he resorted to murder and mayhem just to feel alive.
Lorenzo Gambini is bored. So f*cking bored. Most people either annoy him or avoid him, afraid to face him. Figuratively. Literally. With his face partially disfigured, scarred, he looks every bit the monster the stories make him out to be: the notorious Scar. They say he's a sociopath. Maybe he's a psychopath. Whatever path he's on, people tend to stay far away from it.
Until one day, a young woman bumps right into him—a woman just as fed up with life, but for much different reasons. With a Scarlet Letter inked on her wrist and secrets buried deep in her soul, Morgan Myers is running from something . . . or maybe somebody. Lorenzo isn't quite sure.
You can bet your ass he's going to figure it out, though.
Contains mature themes.

Lorenzo does not seem like he is 36, he acts much younger. The author is definitely going for humor sometimes, but it often misses the mark for me. We very slowly find out about Morgan's past and don't learn what her deal is until the end of the book. I did like how it was kept a mystery as to Morgan's relationship to Kassian was till the end. The story was a bit drawn out and boring at times. I wish the emotional connection between the couple felt stronger. Ends on a cliffhanger. “But what the hell does he need with grenades?” “He says it’s because he’s got terrible aim, but truthfully? He likes to be dramatic.” “Reason number thirteen, Scarlet: I may just be your only hope.”
