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.

Just from the blurb, you know this is going to be intense,  Pearson has been on the fringes of each of the previous books and you just knew something major was going on with him.  Such a broken, tortured man. He has a great family and the Wests quickly jump in to help him out. 

Going into rehab brings him in touch with Rose.  He doesn't remember her but she knows him.  He is the source of her greatest pain.  I appreciated the honesty between these two.  The crux of the issue came out early and then they could work on helping each other heal.  The pleasant side affect of that was that although neither were looking, they found love with each other. 

Lots of humor mixed in with the angst. Some suspense near the end. An overwhelming since of love and forgiveness.  Best read of the series for me.
