⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
From the moment we met this couple on the page together, I knew this love story was going to be something special. The TENSION snaps and crackles immediately, and it’s obvious that there is both a lot of love and HURT between them. This (anti)hero is perhaps the most “broken” man I’ve ever rooted for in a love story; he’s actively addicted, terrified of feeling his pain, and forced to confront the one woman who has always held his heart. It’s a treacherous road to happily ever after, with grit and depth that makes the story feel even richer. And I think this only could’ve been a second chance romance, because it’s their shared history that ties them together – even when this heroine would love nothing more than to run away. It’s not all heartache and angst though, there are some fiercely (bitter)sweet moments that showcase all of the reasons why this couple is perfect together. This is easily the heaviest book in the series, but it’s also the most powerful.
The story follows Cal, a man who has struggled with addiction for over a decade. While some would say that he has the kind of life most would envy, there always seem to be roadblocks in his path to happiness. And some of those roadblocks are Cal himself; he’s his own worst enemy. So when an inheritance requires Cal to spend the summer with the woman whose heart he shattered six years ago – then convince her to sell the place she calls home – it brings out the worst in him. Though Cal has loved Alana for years, she’s spent the time apart hardening her heart. Living together, even temporarily, tests their relationship in a way neither one could’ve anticipated. It will either be the end of them, permanently, or it will be the thing that finally gets Cal to expect more from himself.
It’s no secret throughout the series that Cal is an addict – he’s a functioning alcoholic who has also leaned on pills in the past. That’s what tore Cal and Alana apart the first time, and it’s also the thing that prevents them from having a future. I was surprised by just how “broken” Cal is, though I hate to use that word here. He’s simply a man fighting his demons, and they often get the best of him. It became obvious how emotionally invested I was in his love story when I was completely and utterly disappointed by some of his actions. I loved that Asher didn’t go with the “love heals all” path; Cal doesn’t instantly change his ways because Alana is back in his life. I also really respected Alana and her strength throughout the story. It’s clear that she loves Cal, but she also knows she deserves better. That brings about a ton of conflict and so much tension, giving this a raw and emotional edge. The moments that were good between them were GREAT, and I was aching for them to find their way together. And when they finally did? It felt incredible.

Rowan
I’m in the business of creating fairy tales.

Especially not us.
