Sequel to Bad Boys Make the Most Noise - if you haven't read the first book, I'd suggest going for it.
~
Aveline's a small town girl from the heart of Paris, working in a Café with repetitive customers though one thing that happened to always change was the color of her short hair.
When a rough-looking, gnarly man saunters in with a heavy demand for whisky, she's certain there's more of an underlying problem than mid-day drinking. But prying to figure it out would be nosy - and Aveline wasn't really a curious person - so she fixed up his drink, give or take a few more, and let him do his own thing.
Slash hasn't had sincere company since the tragedy of 1986, six years ago, and seeing as everything in his life had crumbled in the dragged out notion of time, the strange barrister with short, crazy hair, intrigues his lonely taste buds.
In some sort of unrealistic, alternate, universe; Slash would trade his alcoholism for the taste of this fresh air - named Aveline - and would return to normality. But that would be delusional and absurd.
Once an addict, always an addict.
False relationships, cheating, chemistry, heated arguments and temptation are only the blurred background noise to the beckoning of the bottle.
Sequel to Welcome To The Jungle, Sweetheart. Well, more of a part two than a sequel...
"I hate getting mad or upset with Slash, I know he doesn't deserve it. There's lots of things he doesn't deserve that he has to deal with because of me. A day or so ago I'd think that because of this he's better without me, but, I need him, and he loves me.
Nobody's ever loved me like he does. Nobody.
It still scares me how much he does, and how much I do...
But I can't just be in denial of it.
I do love him.
I do.
Even if it terrifies me."
Axl and Slash have been seeing each other for a little while, somewhat secretly of course. Erin, Axl's girlfriend, is clingy, and Axl's ready to rip her head off, but his and Slash's affair needed to be under the radar. Slash doesn't really care, he's just happy to be with him. Axl is too, all he wants is to be around him, he trusts him more than anyone else, but his anxiety and his fears always causes challenges. He doesn't want to lose him. Slash wants to help him, but what can he do at this point?
