ARC received for an honest review

Rock Bottom was a surprising little story from debut author Josephine Traynor. I wasn't sure what to expect at all, but she had me at Rock Star.

Reece Ashton - just wanna give the guy a hug. When the rug is pulled from under his feet and his world as he knows it comes tumbling down, he was like a little boy lost.

Hidden away in a small town until the fallout of his band breakup settles down, the last thing he expects is Madelyn.

Madelyn has had her fair share of attention and doesn't want it again. My heart broke for her as we learn more about her past. But Reece, she might just be willing to give it ago, even with the consequences she may face.

Watching Reece deal with the every day, OMG had me in stitches at times. But more so, watching him become a better man than he has been in the past.

There was just so much to this story. Reece's heartbreak over things that have happened, what will happen with his career, finding true friendship, and falling in love when least expected.

It was also a case of what you see is not necessarily what you get. There were some things that I had a gut feeling weren't what I thought, but when things played out I was all Wow! Was not expecting that.

Rock Bottom is a wonderful debut novel from Ms Traynor. Her writing drew me into the story, I had visceral reactions as events unfolded. I laughed, I cried, I wanted to throw my kindle across the room in anger. And it takes a good book to get those reactions out of me!

Thank you Ms Traynor for giving us Reece, and I can't wait to read what you bring us in the future.
