However, her star is bound to shine even brighter as the years go by, especially when you account for the fact that she has won a RITA Award and those are not so easy to come by. Sarina Bowen isn’t exactly a household name today. She has written series like the Gravity Series and the Ivy Years Series. I also loved the romance and although most plot twists were predictable, Sarina Bowen’s fluid writing style, and her honesty made the book a whole lot more intriguing.Sarina Bowen is an award-winning author of contemporary romance novels. I’d let him get away with that behavior because I hadn’t wanted to acknowledge that side of Jude.
Or when he’d take me to a party and disappear, only to reappear with jumpy eyes. If I wanted to stay sane, I’d have to remember the bad times, too. And that’s why Sophie, who was also way to young to know what to do, tried to ignore that side of him. Jude managed to keep a solid front, never showing how far gone he was. It also shows, how difficult it can be for the people who love them to both acknowledge the loved one’s addiction, and help them. This book shows exactly what it means to recover from an addiction, and what it mean to be an addict. He used drugs for many years, and after being clean for six month, he’s coming to terms with it all, and it’s brutal. I was truly shocked to read how honest his recovery was. What an achiever! Until the night it all went wrong. Even when I was snorting an unsustainable quantity of oxy, I was still functional in the garage and still a good lover. I used to be so proud of the way I kept my two loves separate from one another-the drugs and the girlfriend. I think among Sarina Bowen’s books, this is the “darkest” one, at least considering that it deals with addictions. But as per usual, she did a great job of making it all understandable and hopeful. I’m so happy to have received this ARC! Since reading Bittersweet I’ve been waiting for Jude’s book, and thank goodness it wasn’t a long wait. No one wants to see Sophie and Jude back together, least of all Sophie’s police chief father. But the looks he sends her now speak volumes. She knows it’s foolish to yearn for the man who returned all the heartsick letters she wrote him in prison. And he’d never turn up volunteer in the church kitchen. The bad boy who used to love her didn’t have big biceps and sun-kissed hair. It’s hard not to stare at how much he’s changed. But an ex-con in recovery for his drug addiction can’t find a job just anywhere.įor Sophie Haines, coming face to face with the man who broke her heart is gut-wrenching. He’d steer clear of Colebury, Vermont forever if he could. A man is dead, and there’s no way he can ever right that wrong. Jude lost everything one spring day when he crashed his car into an apple tree on the side of the road. She’s the only one who ever loved him-and the only one he can never have.
