Loving him was never the problem. Living with the addiction was.
- This story packs a powerful punch. It's not your normal friends to more romance. Instead, the author has woven into the romance truths that are painful and real, gritty and even uncomfortable at times. That being said, everything comes together to leave you with belief that the title is true. Even if bad things come, there is hope even after. If you're looking for something more in your romance, this is definitely one for you. I received an ARC of this story, but all opinions are my own and free given. - Goodreads Review

Full Description
Daisy Taylor has loved her best friend since high school, but renewing their relationship won’t happen. Loss led Luke away from faith and into alcohol addiction. One of these issues alone would relegate him to the friend zone. With both, harboring love for Luke is pointless.
When Pops died, Luke Masters learned faith was false hope for weak people. His only relief from the hurt is in a bottle. People claim he has a problem. They’re wrong. Luke is in complete control. If only Daisy understood that.
When Luke pushes Daisy too far, his journey of recovery finally begins. Daisy’s hope grows. So does her need to help without enabling and without allowing love for him to blossom once more. Their happily ever died years ago. Will the struggles of recovery also wither Daisy’s hope or will it grow into something more beautiful than she ever imagined?
