[Cocktails and Books]

When I started reading this book, I felt like I was missing an important piece of the puzzle. Then I realize there was a book prior to this one and I was indeed missing some information. However, after I started piecing things together, the story flowed for me.

Lance and Samantha, reunited and married four years ago, have a solid family life. They treasure the time they have together and with their 3 year old daughter. Lance's band is going on tour and for the first time, Samantha won't be going with Lance, due to pending deadlines and her pregnancy. Life on the road is a lot harder for Lance without his family and lifeline there with him and he soon's falls into old habits, which threatens to tear what he has with Samantha apart.

I think this story would have benefitted from being a bit longer. Just as the tension between Lance and Samantha started to build because they kept missing each other or couldn't talk as often as they wanted and Lance depending on alcohol, the story forced Lance home, Samantha to tell him he needed help, and they were HEA. I needed more of a breakdown, more angst, an addict fighting rehab and then the forced intervention for Lance to see he needed help and go in order to save himself and his family.
