Description from the publisher:
Ethan Richards has fought depression and a host of other demons all his
adult life, and it’s caused him to lose everything—his wife, his son, his
friends, and he almost loses the one thing that means the most to him—his band.
He hits rock bottom and believes there is no way out.
Enter Jenna McCormick, a feisty drug and alcohol counselor, a woman with her
own share of troubles. She finds Ethan intriguing but keeps him at a distance
while trying to help him face life without crutches. She feels a spark but denies
it, knowing that a relationship with unstable Ethan could be dangerous for both
of them.
Ethan knows what he wants, though, and isn’t used to being told no. Jenna isn’t willing to risk Ethan losing his tenuous grip on sobriety, however, and is prepared to deny her deeper feelings to help Ethan climb out of his hole, but he learns how to let go of his pain when he finds that someone is prepared to walk with him through the shadows. Can he convince Jenna that they should take a chance on love or will they forever deny their feelings in an effort to keep Ethan on the straight and narrow? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This is book two in the Bullet
series. These books need to be read in
order. Spoilers ahead for BULLET. Please do not read this review unless you
have read BULLET.
Ethan Richards thinks he has already
hit rock bottom when Val leaves him.
When he realizes that he is to blame, that's when rock bottom is real
and he is ready to begin the fight for his future. After several months in rehab, he has a
psychiatrist, a psychologist, and a substance abuse counselor supporting his
decision to remain sober. His counselor,
Jenna, has her own abuse issues to exercise and fears the relationship that
seems inevitable with Ethan. Charming
Ethan pursues, but with gentleness and persistence. Can these two damaged souls create a
beautiful new beginning for themselves?
I know in BULLET a lot of people
decided that Ethan was just a d-bag and didn't deserve a happily ever
after. Cheer for Brad and Val,
right? Yes, cheer for Brad and Val, but
everyone deserves to be loved. In this
book, Ms. Jamison tackles substance abuse, clinical depression, and domestic
violence in a no-nonsense, realistic format that will leave you reeling and
then cheering. I think she nailed
it! At times, I was on the edge of my
seat and holding my breath to see what would happen next, but always wishing
for the best. Stay tuned for my review
of FEVERISH.
