It was hate at first sight...
Affton
I hated Cable James McCaffrey.
He was entitled, spoiled, a user…and an addict.
He was out of control and didn’t bother trying to hide it.
He had everything anyone could want but still seemed miserable and lost.
Every move he made, every mistake he stumbled his way through, rubbed me the wrong way. However, I couldn’t stop myself from trying to save him from himself when no one else would. In the sweltering heat of the summer, Cable taught me that having it all means nothing if you can’t have the one thing you want more than anything else.
Cable
I was obsessed with Affton Reed.
She was rigid, uptight, and no fun. There was something about her innate goodness that called to me.
She acted like she was above all the normal faults and failures that clung to the rest of us like the scent of smoke after a fire.
I was infatuated with her, but that didn’t stop me from acting like she didn’t exist.
In the scorching heat of summer, Affton taught me that there is always a way back from the brink of despair. She showed me that the trick to having it all was realizing that it was already there, in my hands. All I had to do was hold onto it.
The road to recovery is full of twists and turns no matter who is in the driver’s seat.

Another Jay Crownover Winner
I started reading this book online as Jay released a few chapters a time with her email subscription. I loved it. Slightly different to any other books she has written it follows Cable James McCarthy as he suffers through drug addiction and rehab with the help of Affton Reed the only person to question his drug use, stand up to him and want to help him, all this before anyone else even realised that Cable had a problem with drugs. After events occurred that could not be ignored, Cable’s mother intervenes and makes an offer to Affton that she cannot refuse. Alone in a beachside mansion, do Affton and Cable have what it takes to make it through and beat his addiction? Cable doesn’t want a babysitter, Affton definitely does not want to babysit, but she is not in a position to turn down Cable’s mum. A wonderful story about finding yourself and learning to accept life, beautifully written in dual POV with some intense scenes. I completely fell in love with Cable and I must day I was rooting for this couple from the get-go. The fact that Cable and his story was based around real events with the author made this read much more compelling for me. Oh, and look at that cover, just perfect.
