Never Enough

Loved this story! Gavin rock star and ex-junkie, Marisol 3rd year law student, a chance meeting at one of Gavin's concerts, and his management team deciding he needs a fake relationship to prove to the press he's staying clean. What can go wrong!

I didn't love the implication that when someone does you wrong it's the permission you need to fall back into old habits, but I suspect that is a truthful depiction of living with addiction or loving someone who is. (Thankfully I do not have first-hand experience of this.) I also was so annoyed at his management team for specifying date by date how intimate Gavin and Marisol needed to be for the cameras. Very ick.

V. v. steamy, great banter, real stakes, good boundaries for the most part, good communication for the most part.

TW: addiction, drinking, drugs, physical violence

Also P.S. if you go to Roxie Noir's website you can get a free digital Christmas novella and yes I already downloaded it, because I'mma need some stuff to read over the holiday break, assuming that I get a holiday break, which is seeming less and less likely since Matt came down with a fever yesterday and we're supposed to drive to his parents' tonight, and also I don't want to be a jerk but I NEED this, I CANNOT deal with a week straight of being the sole caretaker of a 3-year-old who does nothing but scream NO at me with no daycare and no grandparents to give me a break, I will go BANANAS, and yes I'm catastrophizing, he was up screaming at 4 a.m., but Matt promised he'd finally be healthy again in 20-30 years. So. Yes. Christmas novella.
