My Review: Wow, this was good. And so emotional! I might have teared up a little, I'll admit. Since we met Austin in the previous books, it was obvious he enjoyed drinking, but in his own story, it's so much deeper than just having a few too many now and again. K.A. Line does a fantastic job with Austin's addiction. It can be hard to write an addict, and possibly even harder to write a recovering one, but I have to admire how well it was done.Austin's addiction over shadows everything else in this book, leaving Julia's main suspense angle feeling rushed. I could definitely see the whole crazy-ex thing coming from a mile away. But I can't be angry about that, or feel let down, because I think the relationship woes between Austin and Julia were strong enough to carry the book on their own.
Each time I read one of the Wright books, I think it's the best one so far. When I started Landon's book, I was sure it wouldn't compare to Jensen, but then I was proved wrong. And once again, with this book, I didn't think Austin could surpass Landon.. but he did. This series just keeps getting better, but each Wright brother has a special place in my heart. But I will admit being very excited for the sisters to get their turn in the spotlight!
Cover Lovin': Fits wonderfully with the rest of the series.
Recommendation: Part of a series, but can work as a stand-alone.
Final Rating: FOUR out of FIVE stars (4/5)!! The suspense angle loses its punch when compared to Austin's addiction.. but overall, this book was a fantastic, one-sitting read!
Happy Reading!

A new stand alone enemies-to-lovers romance by USA Today bestselling author K.A. Linde...
I spent six weeks screwing Austin Wright’s brains out and all I got was this broken heart.
He can’t be trusted. Not with my body or my heart. Yet, two years have passed and I still crave him like an addict needing a fix.
The last time we tried this, it nearly ruined me. I know I should run and never look back. But his dark haunted eyes and razor blade smile speak to my soul. His touch sets my body on fire. And we all know what happens when you light gasoline. Someone is bound to get burned.
A second chance might destroy us both.
Because everyone knows two wrongs don’t make a Wright.
