Publisher Description
Ethan Kelly lost his best friend and bandmate to an overdose, but staying clean is proving harder than he thought it would be. His only safety net during his first weeks of sobriety is his sponsor, Becca. As she guides him through the darkness, he begins to trust her not only with his secrets, but also his heart.
After years of trying to be the daughter her socialite parents wanted her to be (and failing miserably), Rebecca Shore finally has her life on track. Sure, she’s interning at Moderne magazine when she’d rather be pursuing more serious journalism, but it’s a foot in the door. She’s just waiting for the scoop of a lifetime that will take her to the next level. But when she’s asked to be the sponsor of the reclusive and enigmatic rock star, her heart is torn between the career she’s always wanted and the man who bares his soul to her.
PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In McHugh's fifth Kelly Brothers contemporary (after The Heart's Game), Ethan Kelly, lead singer of a popular band, shaves his famous hair and flees public life to fight his heroin addiction after his best friend overdoses. The last thing he seeks is romance, but in a Narcotics Anonymous meeting in a Manhattan church basement, he catches the eye of "Ms. Park Avenue." Over coffee she reveals herself to be Rebecca Shore, former celebrity party girl who cut ties with her hypercritical father and his money in hopes of maintaining sobriety. Now a struggling journalist, she offers Ethan sympathy and help before realizing "the man was a rock god she'd worshipped since she was a teenager." McHugh creates sympathetic characters with strong support systems: Rebecca's friends and faith, and Ethan's solicitous family. Some contrived plot developments detract, however, and soft BDSM elements and purple prose do little to enhance an otherwise satisfying romance. (BookLife)
Customer Reviews
Tackles a Tough Topic with Love
McHugh writes about love while tackling the tough topic of addiction. The writing captures the emotions eloquently.
Typos interferes with the flow of the story but overall I thoroughly enjoyed the writing. Her writing only improves as the series progresses.
