But as people start to infiltrate the walls they have put up around them, they find hiding liquor and random guys that pass through their apartment is harder than they thought. Even as they cling to their addictions, they also find themselves clinging on to their relationship. They both want to try and give their relationship a real shot, but they question if they can give up their addictions…but for each other, they are willing to try.  

The second series in the big three is the Magnolia Parks Universe series by Jessa Hastings. The first book in the series is a wild ride that Laurier Brantford’s Books It Up has written about before. The second book in the series is Daisy Haites and follows the story of a 20-year-old girl, Daisy, being raised by her gang lord brother Julian. Her life is beyond complicated, it only gets more twisted when she finds herself falling for Christian Hemmes. Christian is happy to use Daisy as a distraction from lusting after his best friend’s girlfriend. As things progress, Daisy and Christian realize their relationship might run deeper than they thought, but in their world, things don’t come that easy.  

The third series in the big three is the Boys of Tommen series by Chloe Walsh. The first book in the series is Binding 13 and follows Shannon Lynch, a girl whose life is crashing down around her. Shannon has been badly bullied at her old school and halfway through the year, she transfers to a private school in Cork, Ireland. Johnny Kavanagh is the school’s star rugby player who is determined to claim his future as a professional rugby player for his country. What happens when their two worlds collide on the pitch on Shannon’s first day at school? She wanted to keep a low profile, but her growing relationship with the popular boy at school is making that impossible.
