Six months after their world fell apart, Walsh hangs on to his sobriety by a thread and Tammy will do anything to get the man she has loved most of her life to forgive her and start again, but love is complicated and it may not be enough to fix their broken lives.Honestly, I was only going to read a chapter of this book to get a feel for it then start the series from the beginning, But after I started, I just couldn't put it down which is somewhat ironic given the plot is surrounded by addiction.Selena Laurence does a phenomenal job of opening the minds of readers to show that past mistakes that seem unforgivable may be more about loss than selfishness and pulls them into the raw emotion of what pushed these characters to their limit in the first place.The intimacy between Walsh and Tammy is heartbreakingly beautiful and the connection they share can never be erased no matter how much they keep their distance.The writing of the inner voice of both these characters is flawless.The dialogue is realistic and the pace of this love story is not rushed. This is not just about the isolation of recovery and finding self-worth, but also about repairing the bond of friendship and family because no one heals a damaged soul alone.For the Love of a Lush is a sexy, intense, a little painful and heartwarming story that I recommend highly.
