Thanks to netgalley and Loveswept for sending me a copy in exchange for an honest review.

Matt Argento grew up in the foster system so he’s determined to now work to help kids going through the same thing as him. He meets Rhys Nyland and the pair go through a whirlwind romance ending in a marriage. The real test comes when Rhys has to go on tour and Matt is left alone with his demons

I really enjoyed the first novel in this series so I had to request this one as soon as I saw it on Netgalley. I liked the first book more personally but this one was still great.

The strength in this novel, and this series, is Parrish’s complete lack of fear when it comes to the discussion of addiction and mental illness.
