Recovered
Jay Crownover
It was hate at first sight...
Affton
I hated Cable James McCaffrey.
He was entitled, spoiled, a user…and an addict.
He was out of control and didn’t bother trying to hide it.
He had everything anyone could want but still seemed miserable and lost.
Every move he made, every mistake he stumbled his way through, rubbed me the wrong way. However, I couldn’t stop myself from trying to save him from himself when no one else would. In the sweltering heat of the summer, Cable taught me that having it all means nothing if you can’t have the one thing you want more than anything else.
Cable
I was obsessed with Affton Reed.
She was rigid, uptight, and no fun. There was something about her innate goodness that called to me.
She acted like she was above all the normal faults and failures that clung to the rest of us like the scent of smoke after a fire.
I was infatuated with her, but that didn’t stop me from acting like she didn’t exist.
In the scorching heat of summer, Affton taught me that there is always a way back from the brink of despair. She showed me that the trick to having it all was realizing that it was already there, in my hands. All I had to do was hold onto it.
The road to recovery is full of twists and turns no matter who is in the driver’s seat.

“I’m pretty sure when I get the hand of all these feelings, when I learn what to do with them, I could learn to love you, Affton Reed.”

No one loves writing about the bad boys with good hearts more than Jay Crownover and wow does
she make you fall for them. Cable is no different. His character reminds me so much of Rule but his
edges are sharp. There is no softness to this man and his shadows are the darkest of night. Affton
always looked forward and stayed on her path; she, also, had her own shadows in her life.

These two are as opposite as you can me. It is light to day and soft to hard but when they finally let
their shadows blend together it is beautiful. This is a story of mistakes, regrets, and finding your way
by your own motivation. Some people know what they want in life, Affton, and some just need to find
that place that they are suppose to be, Cable. Not all roads are easy though and those experiences are
what makes someone.

Ultimately, this book is about recovering (ta-da title reverence!) and finding where you were meant to
be. Like Cable, sometimes you have to learn to believe in yourself and know that you can make it
without stepping backwards. Also, you need that person to make yourself better for, Affton.

I loved this story just as I have loved everything from Jay Crownover. If you are a fan of her, you will
love this just as much as the rest. Cable and Affton are a bridge between the roughness of the Point
and the loyalty of the Marked Men.

“I did love her in my own broken way and always had. I just had to make sure that was enough to keep her.”
