As a therapist, things in this book bothered me A LOT. ( )

This wasn't what I expected. I mean, when you are reading a book that involves a sex addict, you would expect a lot of... sex? Well, that isn't the case.
Knox is a badass. He gets what he wants from women. He has no shame in his lifestyle. He takes care of his three brothers. He works hard to keep a roof over their head. His life is just how he wants it. No complications. Then he walks into his sex addiction group and comes head to head with McKenna.
McKenna is on a journey to help heal people. It doesn't matter who... the homeless, troubled teens, or even sex addicts. She has devoted her life to helping those in need. Knox is just another one of those people. She knows getting close to one of the people in her group should not be on the agenda.
The relationship these two find themselves in is explosive and emotional. They don't want to fall for one another. They both have their lives figured out and falling into a relationship with one another.
This story is so many things. It is sweet. It is heart-breaking. It is refreshing. I adored this story. I am looking forward to the next book in the series to see where it takes us. ( )

McKenna's trying to make up for a past that is not her fault by throwing herself into her profession of helping people. Knox is running from the responsibilities of real life by taking as many lovers as he can. Each finds there way to each other where they will hopefully be able to help the other. ( )

4.5 stars. Damn cliffhangers! And to end on such an angsty moment... I love angst, but my heart is still aching for McKenna. I knew I should have held off reading this one until the next one was out, but I love Kendall Ryan's books, and this one was burning a hole in my kindle, so I decided to bite the bullet and read it. Now I'm dying cuz I have to wait for the next book. I know what I'm hoping for, but based on the description of the next book, I don't think I'm going to get it. ( )
