My life had been no fairy tale. Actually, growing up, it had been something more like a nightmare, which is why I ended up so hard. When you don’t want to hurt having the ability to be numb is your best defense mechanism. And for a long time all I was doing was existing.
Jag Steele, the lead singer of the international rock band Pandemic Sorrow, was the epitome of everything I despised: arrogant, entitled, but the thing I hated most about him was that he was an addict. Drugs had been the demon that had ruined everything in my life, and anyone who had a love affair with them pretty much made my stomach turn. It brought up memories I wanted to stay buried. Needless to say, I wasn’t exactly a fan of Jag.
Funny thing is, people aren’t always who you expect them to be. Never in a million years would I have thought the night I meet Jag would have any significance on the rest of my life, but it did.
I found out that sometimes something that screams utter destruction might actually be your saving grace.
Some people may say our story is too screwed up to be a romance, but for two broken people, we made the pieces fit together perfectly.
Lita Thomas’s Review:
Roxy by Stevie J. Cole is the story of Roxanne Slade. She has led a hard life. He mother was killed in a car accident which her father was the driver. As a result her father was left a single father of 3 small children plus has to live with the guilt that he was the cause of his wife’s death. To cope with his wife’s death, him being the cause and raising 3 small children he turns to alcohol and eventually becoming a meth addict. The life Roxy has had to endure has been one of loss, emotional, physical and sexual abuse. Her life has left her very guarded and closed off especially after her older brother Sean dies from a heroin overdose after 3 years of being sober. Roxy begins her story by explaining to the reader that do not judge her, she want the reader to read her story so they may understand how she can fall for a guy who represents a life that destroyed hers.Taking her younger sister Lacy to see her favorite band for her 21stbirthday Roxy meets Jagger Steele. He is the lead singer of the famous band, a rock god, man whore and drug addict. Roxy does everything she can to stay away but fate has other things in store for her. This was their story.
I think the author did a really good job telling Roxy’s story. The ups and down and highs and lows were shown what life is like with a drug addict and their struggles. I give this story 4.5 O’s

I grew up in the southern United States, and am still stuck here. The basics: I’m eccentric, I’m slightly obsessive, and I’ve been called a pervert. I love writing because it is nothing short of a magic trick. It pulls someone else into your mind and holds them there. Fair warning: my mind is pretty twisted, so watch out.
