FOLLOW ME BACK continues where LEAD ME NOT left off.
Therefore, I do recommend reading LEAD ME NOT first. Maxx
Demelo checks himself into rehab after an overdose. He
knew
the two most important people in his life; his brother
Landon and Aubrey have cut him out of their lives. When he
overdosed, he had hit rock bottom. Now the only thing
keeping him going is his determination to make it right by
Landon and to win Aubrey back. Which isn't easy once he is
released from rehab, his patience is truly tested when he
now finds himself struggling to survive on the legal side
of
things.
When Maxx's lies and drug use get too bad to ignore, Aubrey
realizes that she can not save Maxx from himself and if she
continues down this road with Maxx, he will destroy her
too. When Aubrey has to
be the one to save Maxx from an
overdose, she finally reaches her breaking point. However
when days turn to weeks, Aubrey slowly begins to pick up
the
pieces of her broken heart. However, now her career is in
jeopardy. She has been put on academic suspension from the
counseling program for getting involved with a client.
However she finds that she is not as upset as she thought,
and now
begins to questions if a substance abuse counselor is the
right career for her or not. Just when she feels like she
is on the right path and things are looking up, Maxx
contacts her from rehab.
FOLLOW ME BACK is an intense read, told in both Maxx and
Aubrey's point of view, which will send the reader on a
roller
coaster of emotions. A. Meredith Walter's Twisted
Love
series is centered around addiction and the destruction it
can usually bring. I love how she also touches upon other
aspects of toxic relationships such as abusive
relationships. This is a series that is tough, brutal, and
honest and will stay with readers.
A. Meredith Walters is still a newer author for me, having
only read her Twisted Love series, but her writing
is
impeccable and will really draw the reader into the darker
side of this subject matter and not sugar coat it or
romanticize it. If you are looking for something a bit
different, then this is the series for you.
The sequel to Lead Me Not, this dangerously sexy
second installment in the Twisted Love series continues
Aubrey and Maxx’s love story, from New York Times
bestselling author A. Meredith Walters—who “writes the most
beautifully flawed characters that still have you swooning”
(Sawyer Bennett, USA TODAY bestselling author of the
Off series).
Aubrey Duncan has loved…and lost.
Should she follow a heart that’s betrayed her or a head that
tells her to let go?
Maxx Demelo’s addiction
almost destroyed him. It ruined his life and, most
importantly, his relationship with the only girl he ever
loved.
He has vowed to become the man Aubrey Duncan
deserves. Even if he has to tear himself apart to do it. So
he enters rehab, trying to fix the parts of him that are
shattered as he longs to be healthy and whole.
Aubrey lost everything because she chose to listen to
her heart. Now she has sworn to put herself first, to heal
in the only way that she can…far away from Maxx and his
demons.
But just as Aubrey is starting over, Maxx is
released from rehab and thrust back into her world,
determined to prove how much they still need each other. And
the chaos that had defined them threatens to unleash once
again…
But a heart, no matter how broken, is
impossible to ignore.
