Once upon a time, a girl saved my life. I was p*ss-drunk, high as a kite, and about to jump from a bridge. She stopped me. I told her to f*ck off. Exactly how all great love stories start. A year later, I met her again. Sober this time, after yet another stint in rehab. She's still pretty, still a spitfire, still lights up a room when she walks in. And she doesn't realize I'm the guy from the bridge. Frankie doesn't know anything about me or my past. She doesn't know I'm a former rock star or an ex-junkie. She doesn't know that two years ago, someone died and it was my fault. She doesn't need to know. She's got problems of her own, and they're what keep her coming back to see me time and again, even when we both know she shouldn't. I should be staying far, far away from this girl, but it's like telling water to flow uphill. Can't be done. Frankie and I may be going down in flames, but we'll be going down together. Ever After is a full-length, standalone novel.… (meer)

A dead sexy, very steamy and deliciously romantic end to the Dirtshine series. (It must however be said that "Dirtshine" is a terrible name for a rock band.) I did not think Roxie could reform Liam, a smack addict who nearly broke up the band when he turned himself over to being a full time addict who played some music on the side. Along the way he procured heroin that killed a roadie and left him and his lifelong best friend/bandmate in comas. He maliciously destroyed property and relationships and ended up completely broke living in a coldwater shack in the wilds of Northern England. We witnessed all of this in the last two books, and though addiction is heartbreaking I at least ended up really pissed at him, and also quite certain that while relapse is part of the disease there is a certain moment in a junkie's life, enough relapses or the simple refusal to even meaningfully pursue treatment, where the chances of recovery are next to nothing. Me of little faith. Liam ends up better for his pain and it is not hokey in the least.
For the first 1/3 of this book I felt a strong Room with a View vibe (RIP Julian Sands.) Cecil and George were in da house though the delightful Frankie was more interesting than Lucy Honeychurch. But once (view spoiler), things definitely shifted and it became a loving and sexy redemption song. I am so glad Roxie Noir and I found each other! Also, the narrators of the audiobook, Mia Madison and Dustin Brash, killed it! They were both a ton of fun, and Brash's voice, a sort of low gravelly Geordie rasp, is sex on a stick, which is a real plus. ( )
