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.
Recovered is the latest book from one of my favorite writers. In this one, Cable and Affton have hated each other since high school. Affton has good reason, she lost her mother to addiction.. When she is blackmailed into being Cable's sober buddy for the summer before she starts college, she is not prepared to eventually fall in love.
One thing I have always said about Jay Crownover is that she has a knack for writing emotional and gut wrenching stories. Recovered is one such story. I will admit, this is one I didn't completely love. It's her amazing writing that kept me reading, but the story-line was hard to get through. BUt, that is all on me. I'm not saying it's a bad story, it's just not one that I loved reading. Affton is an amazing character who did so much right. I was rooting for her even though I wasn't always rooting to Cable. I definitely recommend giving it a try.

Enjoy this excerpt:
AFFTON
He looked like a surfer with his shaggy, dirty blond hair
and the careless scruff that darkened his chin and cheeks. He had on a light
gray t-shirt featuring the logo of his parents’ brewery and a pair of jeans
that were in far better shape than the ones he’d dipped in the Gulf last night.
He was wearing faded black Converse that were almost identical to mine. Looking
at him, it was impossible to tell he was the privileged son of a couple of
millionaires. He didn’t look like an ex-con or recovering addict. At least he didn’t
until you got to his eyes.
Those dark orbs were perfect for hiding secrets, but if you
looked hard enough, you could see the storm raging inside of Cable McCaffrey.
There were shadows in those dark eyes, and they were at war with him.
They were winning.
I stiffened as his hand landed on the small of my back where
my shirt was tied so it fit instead of handing down around my thighs. It was
one of my favorites. I stole it from my dad and refused to give it back even
though it was three sizes too big. The bare skin where his palm landed tingled,
and I quickly took a step forward to break the contact.
“Yeah, I can surf. We’ve had this house since I was little.
I learned how so I didn’t have to be stuck inside while my parents did their
best to eat each other alive. I never particularly looked forward to summer
vacation, but I always loved being on the water.” He took the car from me and
immediately put his feet on the bar and rode it like a scooter as we started
through the store. “I was into the girls in bikinis who liked surfers even
more.”
I bristled and was going to snap at him that he was into
anyone who had a willing vagina when I realized by the smirk on his face and
quirk in his gold-tinted eyebrows that he was baiting me. He knew it ruffled my
feathers when he brought up sex and his vast experience with the opposite sex.
He was purposely rattling my cage just to get a reaction.
