Romance and recovery in conflict

Felix’s attraction to Jake is complicated by their roles in one another’s recovery: Felix is Jake’s sponsor, and both are trying to stay sober. The book brings a contemporary romance setup—gruff-and-kindhearted contrasts, friendship turning toward love, and a small-town backdrop—into contact with questions of boundaries and the risks of pursuing a relationship during recovery. Addiction and found family are also part of the story’s stated focus, giving the romantic conflict a wider context than attraction alone.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Readers interested in contemporary MM romance with a friends-to-lovers premise.
  • Readers seeking romance that includes addiction and sobriety as central subject matter.
  • Readers who enjoy grumpy-and-sunshine dynamics and small-town settings.

Book overview

A Grumpy Sunshine MM romance from New York Times bestselling author, J. Daniels.

 

Kindhearted Felix longs for gruff, sexy Jake - but a relationship seems out of the question as the two fight to stay on the road to sobriety.

 

They say the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else.

They say the best way to stay sober is to love yourself.

 

I'm great at making bad decisions.

Addict? Check. Poor impulse control? Check. Obsessed with the guy I'm sponsoring? Check Check Check.

There is no one worse for me to want in my bed than Jake Tully. He's hot and grumpy and literally a terrible idea. Terrible. Worse, no one has ever made me feel the way he does - valued. But here I am - thinking about him again.

Falling for my sponsor is not my worst idea yet, but it's damn close.

 

Felix Fields is everything good. He's thoughtful and kind. I can't help but think about every bad thing we could do between these sheets.

But we can't be together. I'm not willing to risk my recovery for anyone - even if he might be perfect for me.

 

Finding a love like this is nothing short of a tragedy.
