These chains that weigh me down, my guilt I wear like a crown, SHE is my Breath to Bear
Jack O’Donnell
I thought telling my story would purge my demons, but it didn’t. If anything, it brought them closer to the surface. Now, they’re threatening to drag me back into the darkness and stop me from moving on with the journalist who captured my story and my heart.
The guilt I bear is heavy, the road I’ve traveled long and littered with scars that run deep.
I’ve been down this road before, in love with two women at the same time.
It didn’t end well.
Erin’s running scared - for good reason - but I won’t let her get away that easy.
Am I strong enough to get rid of the ghosts from my past in order to have a future with Erin?
Erin Langford
Journalists are supposed to be objective, to look at a story as if you’re outside a window looking in.
That’s what I was taught.
That’s what I should have done.
Instead, I fell through the glass and right into Jack O’Donnell’s bed.
The memoire I was supposed to write turned into more than I bargained for.
I’m in too deep.
So far gone.
He’s like a bad drug, making his way through my veins, and stopping my heart.
Yet, I still want more.
There’s just one problem - he’s still in love with someone else. She’s the ghost in the room, the girl that ruined him for all others.
Am I strong enough to be the one to help him heal?

MY REVIEW
Jack left the ball in Erin's court at the end of Blood & Bone. In the beginning of Breath to Bear, she had already made her decision and they were a year deep into things. The memoir he had released was out And it was raw. Gritty. Brutal. Now the two, and his daughter, and his ex, and the rest of the people in his world, have to deal with the aftermath. Where do Erin and Jack stand now? She's not sure. Not sure where she stands in his world, in his heart. Can she deal with a relationship where the ghost of his ex will always be present? How does she fit with his daughter? Or even his ex wife? All these questions, and her own demons are fighting for space in her mind, which are scary especially when present with Jack's even more numerous demons.
Damn...Jack and Erin's story is crazy good. So beautiful, but so painful. Like Jack's memoir, this duet was raw, gritty and brutal. Through it all, Erin stood fast, even in the face of her demons and Jack's, in the face of the public eye, in the face of all of Jack's less than admirable actions that took their toll on everyone around him. I absolutely loved Erin for her strength, her giant heart, and her amazing stability. Such a contrast to Jack, on whose shoulders I place the blame for much of the pain and hurt everyone around him experienced. Not all of the pain, mind you, because most of the people in his orbit are adults and made their own decisions, but he was just so I don't know, self absorbed and reckless, that he caused so much pain for everyone. In case you couldn't tell, I don't love Jack, not at all. I know for sure, I am not as strong as Erin, nor as forgiving, because I'd have kicked his ass to the curb long ago if he had pulled the shit on me that he pulled on her. Sufficed to say, I loved this story because of Erin, and because it's the kind of rockstar story I love most, even if I don't love the rockstar himself - it's intense and raw, sexy as hell, and has the most amazing heroine at its center.

I'm a '90s girl but love discovering new bands, just as much as I love writing. So why not combine the two? That was how Blood and Bone, my debut novel, was born.
I am a sucker for a redeemable villain, bad boys and the tragically flawed.
My wardrobe consists of band T-shirts and leggings that are perpetually covered in pet hair.
Animals are my homies and I don't eat my homies.
Music inspires my storytelling.
