I knew this book was going to be a hard one emotionally to read. The good ones usually are, but this book. Sigh. This book gets the emotions just right. Walsh and Tammy have a lot of history and I don’t think there is a single character who hasn’t been a pivotal part of that history. Lush, the band, is no more and the members who were once a family are all at different crossroads in healing and finding their new paths. Tammy and Walsh have been especially effected by the events leading to Lush’s downfall and finding their way back to each other is not an easy road. My heart broke for both of them and I understood their pain. Alcoholism and the demons that come with it are NEVER cured. But it all comes down to how you choose to live with the disease and/or a loved one effected by it.Selena handled Walsh and Tammy’s story with just the right amount of drama and angst. And the love scenes (even the flashbacks) were sexy and powerful. They weren’t gratuitous but they were more pieces of insight into how much Tammy and Walsh fit and work together. And their journey back to each other was paced beautifully. Depression and alcoholism are never easily handled or talked about, but I think Walsh and Tammy have the love to sustain them through the hard times. They’ve already been through so much and seeing them get their happy was an immensely enjoyable read!And I got more of my Mike. I’m thinking his happy is around the corner with the little school teacher, Jenny, and I CANNOT wait to see him fall. His rock star image and bad boy ways with women will need some overhauling to make things work with her and after the first two books in the Lush series have blown me away, I have no doubt Mike’s story will too!
