Series: Living Heartwood #2

Genre: NA Contemporary Romance

Published: October 15th 2014

Sometimes you have to lose your way before finding the right track.

The roar of a bike engine. The vibration between her thighs. The feel of cool darkness kissing her skin as she coasts along twisty back roads at night—Melody Lachlan lives for these things. Ever since Mel and her best friend Darla escaped their small, backwoods town, they’ve traveled the countryside in search of fast rides, tatted bikers, and good times.

A self-proclaimed poet and lover of all things free, Mel views her life as one long bike ride—with pit stops along the way to numb the pain. But she never saw herself as a junkie. Party as hard as you ride. That’s her motto…until a tragic night steals her soul. Then she’s forced to delve below the surface, to where her demons rage.

When she meets recovered drug addict Boone Randall, she’s more likely to deck him than kiss his dimple-adorable face. She doesn’t want his help; doesn’t want to own up to her part in that night. She just wants to do her time and keep her promise to her friend. Yet Boone challenges Mel, and soon she doesn’t mind sharing the road. Only when Boone’s own secret demons threaten their newfound, fragile security, Mel’s course becomes rocky, and she must decide if letting her well-worn track marks fade is worth finding a new path.

Told from Dual point of view from Melody and Boone, this is a New Adult Contemporary Romance intended for readers seventeen years of age and older.

I thoroughly enjoyed The Darkest Part, the first book in this emotionally charged series by Trisha Wolfe, and when I saw that Losing Track was going to be Melody’s book, I was super excited to get into her head. She and her friend Dar were a couple of fun gal’s in the first book and I thought this would be an entertaining ride.

When I started reading it, I don’t think I was totally prepared for the emotional turmoil that it would put me through. I had tears in my eyes right from the beginning. Melody is hit with difficult situations, one after another, right from the beginning. Her world is not just shattered, it was blown apart and she finds it hard to cope. She is forced into rehab and it’s while she’s there that she begins to build herself up again, with the unexpected help of Boone.

Boone has his own secrets and I did not see the twist coming at all!! It literally made me cry, knowing the loss and heartache he has to endure. Both of these characters are quite broken and lean on each other to heal. But it is hard to do when you cannot forgive yourself.

I loved how these two slowly opened up to one another. They gradually told each other about their pasts and built a connection only those in their situation can understand. It’s a very difficult time for both of them and their addictions are always in the back of their minds.

When reading Losing Track, I could feel the emotion that Trisha had put into this story. There are many difficult situations that she wrote throughout this book and my heart would break each and every time. There are some sweet moments too and although it takes time, they do find some comfort with one another. The ending, well it had my bawling my eyes out, so be prepared when you pick this beauty up!!
