I literally fell in love with this story!! I have never read anything like it before and I was hooked after a few chapters!Lydia is lost in a world of sex and booze.  My first thought was not in good taste of Lydia.  Just because it was so easy to sleep with these men and go on about her daily life as if she was just changing her underwear on a daily basis.  I will be the first to admit..... I was judging her and ever so harshly.  As time went on it was obvious that Lydia had a drinking problem and wanted to forget and let it all be washed away by one night stands.That is until one day the every so sexy Aiden moves in next door.  Is it by coincidence or purpose?  This part through me for the greatest loop ever!! I didn't even see it coming. I will not spoil it for the next reader.Lydia goes through some very provoking and heart breaking abuse at the hands of her so called husband.  They married when she was young and she just can't seem to shake his wants and needs.  Desmond is remarried to a very wealthy woman and he takes care of Lydia from a far.  She still sleeps with him and he claims he loves her...... this is NOT love!  It is easy to understand the connection she feels to him, but you can't help but wait for that moment when she realizes he is a bad antidote for her.Aiden is strong and so loving.  He has demons of his own and if Lydia can come to grips with her drinking problem then Aiden is ready to help her get on with a life without alcohol.Can these two get past what stops Lydia from really living?  And if so will their LOVE survive the test of all time?This book hit home!  I have dealt with addiction first hand and when it has a hold of you..... it doesn't let go.  The characters and story line left me breathless and rooting for these two.  It was REAL & very RAW!I am now a definite fan of Misty Provencher.  She brought these two souls to life and you root for them until the very end.
