Recovery

De: Nicole Dykes

Narrado por: Lacy Laurel, Tor Thom

Mya

My entire world has been rocked with a loss, and I need to escape.

With nothing left to lose, I leave behind the place I grew up and the memories haunting me there.

I trust no one. Then I meet him. And he won’t stay out of my way.

Jase

I trust few. I work hard and mind my own business.

But when a friend of a friend needs help, unfortunately, I can’t seem to do that. On the outside, she seems utterly broken. But I see that fire in her flickering under the surface.

She’s been through hell, but I’m insanely desperate to bring her back. I know plenty about recovery, after all.

Enjoyable listen

I enjoyed getting to know these two. Mya just needs to get away-anywhere. But when she arrives she doesn't expect Jase. These two take me on a trip filled with ups and some downs. There are surprising events that happen and its difficult to figure out which way the characters will go. Jase is a good guy with a past he keeps quiet about. Mya just wants to change her stars with no man involved. Life has other plans for them.

I loved getting to see Logan and Quinn! I wondered how they were doing once they moved and this really filled in the blanks. We meet some new wonderful characters with tragic pasts as well.

I did listen to this on audio. Tor Thom and Lucy Laurel are the narrators. They both do a good job.

WOW!

When I first saw the title, I automatically thought this book was about recovery from addiction. While their are discussions of addiction throughout the story, Recovery is really about mending lives and all that destroyed Maya and Jase’s heart along the way. When Maya loses her little brother Trey, she turns to some old friends to help here escape. Rhys helps get her to Nashville with Quinn and Logan, little does she know that her escape is really her beginning. The pill between Jase and Maya the moment they meet is undeniable. They both trust each in a way they can’t explain. Jase decided to tell Maya his truths but his truths are her demon. Only Time can help Maya overcome this but she learns quickly that she not only has new friends in Nashville but a family. Maya and Jase are an incredible love story of strength snd obstacles but their love is what leads them to recover from their pasts.

Amazing

Tor Thom is one of my favorite narrators hands done. He does an amazIng job with this book as well. Swoon. Lacey Laurel did a great job portraying Mya in this book. I can’t say enough good things about Tor Thom. 🖤


Mya and Jase are raw and emotional characters. Nicole Dykes always done such an amazing job of making her characters real and relatable and this book is no different. I felt for Mya and her need to escape and not become attached so she could keep moving forward. Her story is a painful one. This book does pick up where Clarity left off and while not necessary I do recommend starting with Clarity.

I can’t say enough good things about Nicole’s writing style as she has a way of grabbing my attention and holding it the entire time.

Loved Maya & Jase!!

I listened to Recovery and it was a wonderful short story. Jase and Maya were raw and real and show two sides of how addiction affects your life. Jase was a healer and even though he went through something tragic that turned his life upside down, he didn’t let that be his down fall. He found a way to cope and give back to other’s in his position. Maya was strong, reserved, and tentative to let people in. She didn’t want to be vulnerable and was afraid to lose the people she cared about. After spending time with Jase, she slowly let her walks down and let love in. Nicole’s stories are always so gripping and angsty , it tugs at the heart all the while reading it, you feel gutted by the emotional roller coaster. This story was definitely an insta love, steamy, emotional beautiful story. I definitely wanted more Maya and Jase. As for the narration, Lacy Laurel and Tor Thom were the perfect pick for Maya and Jase. They did a wonderful job bringing the story to life.

Loved this story!!

Mya has lost the most import person in the world to her. And she just needs to get away and blend in. She doesn’t want anyone in her life... everyone leaves.

Jase is a tattoo artist and ends up being one of Myas roommates. He’s wildly attracted to her from the beginning. He needs to help her but she doesn’t want it.

I won’t give anything away here, but this is Ana excellent story of live and loss that you’ll love!

Tor Thom and Lacy Laurel are wonderful and did such a great job with the narration.
