It is the 1st book in the Counting series.

'Counting Daisies' is tagged as m-m, abuse, dark, friends to lovers, angst, erotica, new adult, contemporary. And I didn't want Dylan and Cameron's story to end. I loved every deep,dark hole that this story took us. There was nothing I could fault with Counting Daisies. When they reconnect I hoped that they could become that again, that the could overcome all the hurdles placed before them. They dreamt of their future, of success, marriagehappiness. By the age of fourteen they were more than best friends they were in love. Growing up together, they shared everything. It is love at its best and worst.īest friends as teenagers, separated for years, but never forgetting each other. Adult Romance (Market) Dylan Roberts and Cameron O’Neil were good kids. I swear I was reading through tears for so much of this story.Ĭameron and Dylan's story is not a pretty one. I have never been an addict (unless you count books and chocolate) but the way she gets into the psyche of Dylan and his addiction, you just know that she has researched addiction well. She has dealt with issues like mental illness in the past, and with Counting Daisies she deals with addiction. It is a gutwrenching, but heartbreakingly beautiful story of love and loss, second chances. She has blown me away with Counting Daisies. With every one of her books I tell myself that there is no way she can outdo her last book, but each and every time she proves me wrong. What can I say about Counting Daisies other than to say that Nicola Haken has done it again.
