Recovery
Maxim and his band are on their way to stardom, but he’s a mess. The cocaine he deems necessary to achieve musical genius has ripped his relationship with his long time love, Oceane Dubois, to shreds warping his thinking. Precariously balanced on a razor sharp edge, he’s one stumble away from the world he’s built crashing down around him. Oceane believes true love endures all things, but Maxim’s spiral out of control forces her to contemplate life without the man she knows is her soul mate.
Determined to win Oceane back Maxim begins the grueling task of getting his head on straight and cuts himself off from Oceane to do it. Frantic over his disappearing act Oceane turns to her sister, and begins to rediscover the woman she’s forgotten. Her life’s a lot less complicated without Maxim around, but the real question she needs to answer is, if its better?

This story is the heart wrenching tale of a drug addict fighting his habit, and the woman who loves him. I've never been with a drug addict, but I was right there with Oceane as she rode the roller coaster of distrust. My heart clenched as I cheered Max on, hoping he would fight for his love.
I have it on good authority that there will be a second book coming, featuring Oceane's sister. I'm truly looking forward to reading that and watching Shyla's talent continue to grow and flourish with her writing. The emotional passion that puts you on the edge of your seat, wondering how things could possibly resolve with a Happily Ever After is what makes this a MUST READ!

I appreciate that O makes Maxim agree to no drugs, less alcohol, couples counseling and a twelve-step program when she takes him back. I also liked that they both had a part to play in their co-dependence rather than it all being Maxim's fault. I'm not sure that there shouldn't have been even more angst in the making up process, though. It was almost too easy for her to take him back. On the way to recovery, Oceane was sometimes suspicious for no reason, which also felt realistic. Of course, being surrounded by nosy family and friends was sometimes more hurt than help as well.

I really enjoyed this story, I love how love conquers all, even an addiction. A funny, romantic drama, I felt like I was watching a movie in my mind. Beautiful work, Shyla.
