In this final installment of The Good Ol’ Boys Series, M. Robinson delivers a love story that is so heartbreakingly raw, poignant, devastating, beautiful and gripping. In the three previous books of the series, readers are given a glimpse of Austin, the youngest member of The Good Ol’ Boys but in this consuming installment, M. Robinson shows her readers the real Austin. The friend. The son. The lost one. The liar. The broken man. The lover. The drug addict.
Crave Me hands down has to be me my favorite book of the series. M. Robinson went beyond a typical love story. She showcased a love story between two broken individuals who had to endure the hardships, the ups and downs and everything in between in order to see what truly matters to them. This is a love story not meant to be easy. This is a love story that proves LOVE HEALS. A love between two imperfect individuals who loved every imperfection and saw beauty, hope, and trust within one another.
Addiction. That one word has already a stigma associated with it. Toss in drug addiction, then you are well aware of the downward spiral of destruction, devastation, and chaos this disease can affect the people you love and cherish the most. And for Austin, his drug addiction was his craving. His need. His demons. And most importantly, it was his salvation. So how can an addiction be a salvation? Well the answer is simple...Briggs.
They say love is beautiful. But LOVE has many different facets and sides. Love can also be consuming. Addicting. Blinding. And love can be destructive. And for Austin loving Briggs was all that and so much more. Their love was everything and yet it was their downfall. So how can a love so toxic be the one drug that is needed for Briggs and Austin to survive?
While I don’t want to rehash or spoil this book for the readers, I will just say one thing, M. Robinson wrote a story that was meant to be utterly addicting and consuming. This story was meant to put you to the ringer. To break your heart. But most importantly, this story was meant to piece every shattered piece of your heart and make you see the whole picture. Love is not meant to be easy. To love means to survive. To have hope. To fill in the missing void. And M. Robinson did that and so much more with this story. Crave Me is a story meant to be experienced since M.Robinson beautifully tackled a love story with the sensitive matter of addiction and loving someone who is addicted. Yes, this book is filled with angst, heartbreak, love, passion, and grit. But most importantly this book is filled with realistic elements of life.
As I try to wrap up my thoughts on Crave Me, I will just say this M. Robinson will douse her readers with all the FEELS. Yes, you will cry, get mad, and be screaming WTF but in the end, you will be left with a sense of peace and happiness. So if you are looking for a book that will hold you hostage with M. Robinson’s addicting prose and characters, then I urge you to read Crave Me and prepare yourself for one heartbreakingly profound love story. They say love is like a drug and so be prepared to get addicted to Austin and Briggs.
