About the Book
They say there’s a fine line between love and hate.
Ours was a mile wide.
To put it bluntly, my life sucked.
When I finally got up the courage to divorce
my jerk of a husband, never in a million years did I imagine his prick of an
attorney would gain him full custody of my daughter.
My scant two weekend visits per month killed
me.
And my ex made it as difficult as possible on
me every single time.
So imagine my shock when said attorney’s name
appeared at the top of the list at the in-patient substance abuse clinic where
I worked as a counselor.
My list.
The first thing that occurred was I completely
lost my Zen.
Then my blood boiled.
Then his chart flew across the room and
slammed into the wall.
How could this possibly be happening?
Karma couldn’t be this cruel.
How in the world could I be an empathetic
abuse counselor to the cocky Pearson West who destroyed my life?
I would rather become an addict myself, or
better yet, strangle him first.
One day on her way home from work as
a sales manager, USA Today bestselling author, A.M. Hargrove, realized her life
was on fast-forward. If she didn't do something soon, it would be too late to
write that novel she had dreamt of her whole life. She slammed on the brakes,
made a crazy decision, and quit her job. Then she reinvented herself as a
Naughty and Nice Romance Author.
She fancies herself all of the
following: Reader, Writer, Dark Chocolate Lover, Ice Cream Worshipper, Coffee
Drinker, Grey Goose Aficionado, and #WalterThePuppy Lover. If you’re around her
for more than five minutes, you’ll soon notice she has a tendency to talk your
ear off.

Some things to be pre-warned about incase they are a sensitive subject for you, Pearson is a drug addict at the start of this story and he hits the bottom before he gets help so if drug addiction is an issue for you, be warned. This story also features an abusive former spouse and he is very nasty in this story, he also has custody of the female lead, Rose's daughter so that's also something to beware of.
Pearson is our male lead and he is the brother of the other male leads in other books in this series. He is the baby and also a lawyer. He handles stress with drugs and he only gets help after he overdoses in the first chapter.
This leads him to a drug addiction program and Rose is assigned him as a patient as she is a drug counselor. SHE HATES him because he helped her abusive ex get FULL custody of her young daughter. And she hates him with a passion and I loved this aspect of the story.
Eventually Pearson and Rose come to ahead and they both realise they need help and each one can help the other. This was when the story got pretty great. It is a very slow burn story with them being there for the other and becoming good friends and even roomies.
Rose's ex is the devil and I don't say that lightly. I cannot spoil what happens but I HATED him so much and he gave me nightmares. How any judge could give him full custody I don't understand. That said this was an intense and wonderfully written with characters I fell in love with.
