One month, I fell for him.Two, I was a goner.Three, I was a daydreamer.But by the fourth, it was a nightmare.Everything came in beats.Beat one—fantasy.Beat two—admission.Beat three—love.But it’s the fourth beat that completely ruined me.Beat.Beat.Beat.With a shattered heart. He was my nightmare.
Intense, dark and full of intrigue Love Drunk kept me guessing and had my feelings all twisted up the whole book through. Gunner and Everly’s initial fiery attraction lead to quite an explosive and complicated relationship. I was so torn between who I wanted to root for or who I wanted to smack a few times. I enjoyed how a few twists kept me on my toes and caught me completely off guard. After this gripping and intense beginning to this duet I’m curious to see how the rest of their story plays out.
I love a dark read and this is definitely a good one. Gunner and Everly definitely take you for a ride and the ending!!! I am the weirdo that LIVES for good cliffhangers and T.L. Smith definitely gave us a good one. Must read!!
Love drunk indeed!! Wow. What did I just read!??? The beautifully twisted writing TL Smith gives us never disappoints. This story is fast paced, dark, sexy, twisted, gritty. I need book 2 now!!!
Omg gunner was an omg character. I devoured this story and already want to devour it again. I highly enjoyed this story and can’t wait for the second book in this duet.
I really enjoyed reading Love Drunk. This is a new series in which the author did not disappoint with her characters and story about 2 characters that will pull you in. Love Drunk was very entertaining and a wicked good time weekend read
Holy heck what a story!! I wouldn’t expect anything less from this author, she definitely knows how to keep readers on their toes. Gunner and Everly’s relationship is explosive to say the least, Gunner’s preferences makes 50 shades look tame. He is a man you hate to love, but you also love to hate him! Everly is one feisty independent lady but around Gunner she is powerless to resist his magnetic pull and she succumbs to him like a moth to a flame. The twists and turns in this book will keep you guessing even after the last word you read… I’m eagerly awaiting the conclusion to this intense duet.
What has TL done to me?!?!
We have all had that love drunk feeling where you are completely enthralled with someone, that you love them so much even though they aren’t that good for you? The highs and lows you feel throughout the relationship really have you spinning and TL has done an amazing job captivating that in this book.
I am completely torn as to whether I am rooting for Gunner or not. At the moment I want to junk punch him so much but I have a feeling in the next part of the duet that feeling may change. He may be deliciously dark and appealing but his stand off demeanour and how he treats Everly is quite the turn off.
TL has done a brilliant job with these characters. She drew me in from the very beginning, which after the week I have had at work, was quite a feat as my concentration was shot but TL managed it. I never knew which way this book was going to go and the last half of the book had a lot of jaw dropping moments.
I am super excited for book 2 Hate Sober as I really want to see what happens next
Loved it! Didn’t see any of the twists and turns coming. The chemistry was to die for. The ending killed me. I can’t wait for the next book. Definitely recommend this novel
This book omg!!! I wanted to hate it but I loved it. The story hooked me from the beginning and I couldn’t put it down. Everly falls for Gunner and his dark ways fast. There are some twists in the story which I love and the ending will get you good! I cannot wait for the second book in this duet. Be warned this is a darker read that some may not be into.
3.5 stars
I’m always looking forward to anything by the author and this is a new duet with new characters that I need more of them , of their time to get a better idea of the whole love story. That’s the problem with duets for me, I need both books so I can binge read them but luckily I won’t have to wait long for the next one. Let’s see where this story takes us next.
Everly goes out to club with her best friend and meets Gunner. Everly just wants to run her business and find someone to love one day. She’s attracted to Gunner but will she act on it? Gunner has never been with a woman for more than sex but Everly is different. Can he be different for her?
What did I just read?!
I am shocked, speechless, go smacked and every other possible adjective you can use to describe how a book has destroyed you.
‘Love Drunk’ by TL Smith is book one is a duet that has the power to destroy your souls from the get-go.
I seriously have no idea what to think of this book, just like the characters in it, I have a very strong love-hate relationship with this story and it couldn’t fit more perfectly.
I have laughed and loved alongside these characters, scoffed at my kindle, screamed in shock, hated the feeling I had towards these characters and most importantly questioned my sanity!
This amazing and crazy story will destroy your mind and soul, leaving you a panting and confused mess with one of the strongest cravings for book two.
Everly is our beautiful heroine, she is shy and yet confident, she is a strong businesswoman who has worked hard to get where she is now and will work even harder to keep it that way. She is funny and beautiful, inside and out, she is smart and fierce, she is a believer of women who can achieve anything and a lover ready to sacrifice to make keep her loved ones happy.
Her future has been planned for her since before she was born, but she will not accept it nor agree with it. No, she is a fighter and fight is what she will do, even though sometimes it might be a little harder than others.
Gunner, that motherf*cker who is so attractive and elusive you can’t help but gravitate towards him. He is hot and cold, calculating in everything he does and says, he is confusing and infuriating to the highest level. But he can also be kind and caring, in his own way, he can take care of what’s important and show a softer side to the cold facade he always has on. He is the devil incarnate but still manages to steal your heart and body, rendering you a useless mess and imposing an even messier fate for your body.
This book is intriguing and interesting.
It had drama and action intertwined with a lot of passion and steam, it will seriously mess with you.
This is a dark book that has scenes that could trigger some readers, scenes that could make readers uncomfortable in both the best and worst way possible, scenes that will make you second guess yourself and some that will make you go so crazy you will have to ask yourself is you are sane or not.
Your boundaries will be pushed to the limit and maybe even over it, so you need to be ready to lose yourself in this book and be okay with it
This book is a crazy and dark masterpiece that will own you, scare you, turn you on, shock you and maybe even terrify you with what’s to come.
Because this is a duet, there is a cliffhanger at the end of book one, but trust me when I say it truly is worth it.
You will love and hate this story, a story you can’t put down even if you try and you won’t stop thinking about it even after you’ve finished.
A very dark psychological romance with claws so sharp and long they will sink into your heart turning it the darkest form of black right from the very first chapter.

Reviews on goodreads. Amazon. BookBub. The book addicts. .
Holy hotness !!
There is a lot of goodness between these covers.
I can’t wait to see what happens in the next book !!
Bring it on.
Once again I’m blown away by T.L’s writing. She manages to twist you up and leave you just as it says, Drunk. At the same time I’m on the fence with all my feelings towards this book. I’d give it 3.5 stars right now. It’s almost like two stories in one book yet so much is still missing. But I’m hopeful it will come together for me in the next book.
I’ll admit there were lots of times where I disliked Everly. However, I think Gunner more than makes up for it. He’s a mastermind, with his well played, silent brooding and sweet as sin charisma you’ll find yourself lost in Gunner too.
TL Smith does edgy romance real good. Love Drunk is a story of first love that comes with a dark element. This story comes with the ups and downs of frustration and intrigue. This is what makes this love story a TL Smith book. The story of finding first love with a twist. Love Drunk is part of a duet. Hate Sober is the title of the next book and I’m so ready to learn what happens next.
If you’ve read TL Smith before, you know that her stories can consume and draw you in. Love Drunk is one of those stories. It’s dark, but you’ll enjoy this book. You become so engrossed in it that you don’t realize that there’s a cliffhanger til you get there. Book 2 – Hate Sober, can’t get here fast enough!
This story was the perfect rollercoaster. Everly and Gunner were so hot at times and then it was like a bucket of ice between them at others but she was so caught up in the hamster wheel of emotions he invoked she just didn’t care. This books characters drew me from the beginning and I can’t wait for the next one.
I voluntarily reviewed a advanced readers copy of this book
5 LOVE DRUNK STARS!! I could not read this book in fast enough, by the time I finished I felt drunk on this story. This author has consumed me with her words again…..I need book #2 now…I am dying inside. Gunner and Everly’s story will hit all your emotion buttons and take you on one heck of a ride. You definitely need to read this book, so download it now.

5 ++ Stars
T.L. Smith – omg! You have a total hit on your hands!! Marvelous job well done lady!
Oh my stars!! Absolutely devoured!! Loved it soooo hard!! What a very dark romance with all the emotions! Very addictive and quite dangerous but loved it alot!
“How I adore this man. With everything I am. Even when I know I shouldn’t.”
“I’m love-drunk on him, and I’m afraid I will never get sober.”
“I’m so drunk on him. I hate myself for it. As much as a drunk hates the drink. It’s unfair to love someone so fast and so hard and not get it back in return.”
I can not highly recommend this enough!
Can not wait for December when the next book in the duet is out!!
This is a tough one to review!!!! It sucked me in and I read it in a single sitting but parts of it really bothered me.
The heroine drove me bonkers. She was so blind by her lustful feelings towards the hero, that she basically became a shell of herself. By the end, she’d lost herself completely.
She knew she shouldn’t fall for the guy but she goes and does it anyway. So many red flags were waved in her face and she chose to ignore them.
I absolutely HATED the hero by the end. But maybe that was the point? Reel us in with his charm and then unmask the devil. I’m very interested to see what his M.O. is in the next book! I want to like him but I just don’t see how that’s possible.
Alec has completely intrigued me! I must know more!
I liked this book, don’t get me wrong. It was such a mess that I couldn’t look away from! I just didn’t enjoy some of the darker sexual parts of the storyline and how evil the hero truly was. Personal preference. But I’ll absolutely be reading book 2 because I have to know how this ends!
