Twelve Steps
Hitting rock bottom is only the beginning. Jacob's life is falling apart around him. No money, no job, and no hope for a better future... until he meets Craig. By introducing Jacob to the possibility of recovery, Craig gives Jacob a chance at a new life, and maybe more.
Set amidst the drama, romance, and furtive desires of the recovery community, Twelve Steps tracks the progress of a relationship through timid infatuation into something stronger, darker, and perhaps far more addictive than either man ever imagined. It's one thing to surrender to a Higher Power. It's another to give up your heart.

Twelve Steps is an interesting book, but there are some problems that kept me from really enjoying it. I found the transitions and ending to be quite abrupt. For instance, two of the characters have an argument, and we aren't shown the ending of the quarrel. It is just dropped, and the issue resurfaces later {and it is unclear if it is ever solved}. There are other times, too, when a chapter just ended without a resolution, and a new subject started with no preparation for the reader. Or there would be a jump in time with no warning and nothing to show us what happened during the missing time. The ending also seemed abrupt. It was unclear to me if I was supposed to consider it a HEA or not. The main couple was established, but it seemed like an HFN, to me as the couple had an issue that needed solved. It seems to be implied that the matter is solved, but one can't tell without more to the story. Other problems include little backstory to the characters.
The story is about a main couple and a secondary couple, and includes a BDSM Dom/sub relationship.

Interesting take on the 12 Step program.
Not sure if I like the example given on how a third step should be done, but it was interesting.
This story should have been titled Thirteen Steps.
