By: Elin Peer

Narrated by: Noelle Bridges, John Masterson

Twenty-one-year-old Black is a homeless "Goth rebel" who has broken laws to survive ever since she ran away from home seven years ago. When she is arrested for shoplifting, she's forced to reach out to the father who never wanted anything to do with her. 

Gabriel is a decorated war hero who just returned from duty in Afghanistan. When he overhears his stepbrother having a phone conversation with a secret daughter that the family never knew about, he is shocked to hear the hard rejection she gets. Since his stepbrother won't do the right thing, Gabriel steps up, committed to help his new step-niece get back on her feet. 

But what happens when Black is forced to go into drug rehab with an unorthodox therapist whose methods are bat-shit crazy and require a parent to come along? Gabriel and Black hardly know each other, but when Gabriel offers to step up and replace his stepbrother, things quickly get intense between them. 

Contains mature themes.

Very different

You will not be disappointed. It is a bit strange… but so well written, you will love the characters! I really needed this sweet cute read! Enjoyyyy

Amazing

This book was awesome! And the narration was outstanding. I had to get used to the male narrator but the female narrator is spot "on". I listened to book 2 first (which was also outstanding) and my recommendation is to read these books in order. Some of the characters in book 1 are mentioned and play a role in book 2. Book 1 is a drama with a touch of "hot stuff". If your looking for something to light your "fires", then this one might not be for you. But the writing is outstanding and there is some great humor that made me laugh out loud. Happy Listening

Absolutely beautiful story

1st of all I have to say I 100% recommend this recommend this book.

Uneven main characters, fun supporting characters

3.5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️✨

I liked the backstory of Black and how she and G first met. From there it got pretty weird and I won’t spoil that fun for anyone.

After their getaway the relationship is growing, but I got whiplash with the hard turns both MCs made. At one point I just didn’t like either of them. I can’t see this relationship lasting, and I think it’s meant to be HEA.

The supporting characters are interesting and very funny. Darren, Violet and Granny add some real color and hilarious commentary.

Narration was good overall, though I thought the male narrator could get a bit flat here and there. Female narrator nailed it.

I don’t know…

I’m not sure how to feel about this. I’m currently still listening. I’m not sure I’ll continue. Too many cringy moments. Love the support that is shown but idk how to like this fully
