Description from the publisher:

Some people claim to have their hearts ripped out of their chests.  To feel the world shift under their feet.  To feel intoxicated by love.
Miles Wittman, the bassist for the rock band Trained in Black, felt those things until the shift became a hole and dragged him into darkness.

His mind clouded by years of alcohol abuse, the man remembers very little of the last two years of his life.

Until her.
A woman from his past.
Julia Nulty, the band's manager sister, the sexy, exotic plus-sized model.

Bits and pieces of his memory start to surface after the two of them are caught up in an unexpected photo shoot.
She’s rocked his world.  He feels the shift.  The intoxication.
But Miles, he has no recollection of the night they spent together.  If he finds out the truth of what happened, it could possibly lead him back to the darkness.

And Julia, she holds the secret.
A secret that could send Miles back into the dark or straight to his grave.

ALL THIS TIME is the third book in the Sweet Sin series.  Each will stand on their own, but I highly recommend enjoying the whole band.



Starting from the beginning pages, the story is emotionally gut wrenching, especially for a person who has lived through the loss of a child. 



Then there is Julia.  I identified with her:  her pain and her optimism; her strength that is easily undermined even as she rebuilds herself.  Her mother, no doubt, will find her own bedeviled roommate one day in the afterlife.  I won’t say too much more, because I really do think you should read this story for yourself. 



My only suggestion is that you read it, not listen on audiobook.



Narration – 2 crowns:  Nicole Blessing has a pretty voice, but a monotone delivery.  There would be no difference between her reading, “Fire!” in a crowded theater or “I had oatmeal for breakfast.”  (Neither of these sentences is in the book.)



This is not the first book I have listened to that Ms. Blessing has narrated, but to tell you the truth, after one chapter, I went looking through the rest of the books I have.  I found that I have three more books narrated by Ms. Blessing.  Once I have listened to them, unless I hear dramatic (no pun intended) improvement I will not download another book with her name on it.
