It was hate at first sight...AfftonI hated Cable James McCaffrey.He was entitled, spoiled, a user…and an addict.He was out of control and didn’t bother trying to hide it.He had everything anyone could want but still seemed miserable and lost.Every move he made, every mistake he stumbled his way through, rubbed me the wrong way. However, I couldn’t stop myself from trying to save him from himself when no one else would. In the sweltering heat of the summer, Cable taught me that having it all means nothing if you can’t have the one thing you want more than anything else.CableI was obsessed with Affton Reed.She was rigid, uptight, and no fun. There was something about her innate goodness that called to me.She acted like she was above all the normal faults and failures that clung to the rest of us like the scent of smoke after a fire.I was infatuated with her, but that didn’t stop me from acting like she didn’t exist.In the scorching heat of summer, Affton taught me that there is always a way back from the brink of despair. She showed me that the trick to having it all was realizing that it was already there, in my hands. All I had to do was hold onto it.The road to recovery is full of twists and turns no matter who is in the driver’s seat.

Jay Crownover is a new(ish) to me author. I have read 2 other books by this author and I have loved each ones so far so I couldn't wait to read Rocevered. This story gave me all the feels. It was raw, real, steamy and relatable. Recovered isn't an easy read but it is a good one so if you are looking for a book that will I can't wait to read Jay Crownover's next book. I give Recovered a 4 out of 5.
