Blurb:
I am not okay.
Fifteen months ago, my life was turned upside down when the plane I was piloting went down. Injured and trapped in the wreckage, I had to watch my fiancée die a painfully slow death, which is something that can really mess with your head.
Since that day, I’ve had little desire to do much of anything. Except play hockey, that is. Because that is the one place where the bad memories are banished and I can escape my pain.
But off the ice, I’m spiraling out of control. Losing the grip on my life and putting myself and my career in danger. Now, thanks to a string of bad decisions, I’ve been ordered to complete therapy in order to stay on the team.
The problem? Nora Wayne, my beautiful and somewhat unconventional therapist. I can’t buy into the brand of happy clappy crap this woman is feeding me. What could she possibly understand about the type of loss that I’ve suffered? How does she know anything about finding happiness after losing the most important person in your life?
Turns out, I’ve got a lot to learn, and she’s just the person I need to break through those walls I’ve erected.
I am not okay.
But for the first time in a long time, I know that I will be.

Review:
My heart broke on the first three pages of Tacker's story. Tacker is broken, lost and on a downward spiral. There is blame, regret and love all wrapped in one.
Tacker's love of the ice is what is needs in order to take the stream that is pounding to be released. The ice is his go to but he is still lacking. He needs another out and that is where Nora comes in. Nora is this strong, head on her shoulders, strong woman who has gone through life in several different ways but still has the energy, patience and drive to make it better for everyone around her.
Tackers and Nora were meant to be. Their stories were so life changing in many ways their destiny was already written. The strength each of them had to overcome the worst things imaginable and then to be able to use the "family' each of them separately but combined was amazing in its own.
Stephen Dexter and Lucy Rivers did an amazing job bringing these characters to life and pulling you in more and more after each character.
