Blood and Bone
Author: Paula Dombrowiak
Release Date: October 30, 2020
Genre: Contemporary Romance/Fiction
Jack and Mia, everyone else was just collateral damage. Love is complicated, messy, and sometimes painful but oh so worth it. A heartbreaking journey through love, friendship, and family. Music brought them together, addiction tore them apart, loyalty saved them.
Jack O’Donnell’s life was teetering on the edge. Forced, as a teenager, to make a decision that would change his life forever, he left his hometown to pursue a music career with collaborator Mia Stone. Living in a van by the beach was not the glamorous Los Angeles lifestyle they had envisioned but sparked the most creative time of their lives. Making it big was all they ever wanted but when it happened, friendships were tested, hearts were broken, and lives were changed forever.
Erin Langford is a seasoned journalist tasked with writing a feature on Jack O’Donnell. Being at the right place at the right moment puts Erin in a unique position to get the story, but at what cost? Having preconceived notions about Jack’s rock star image, she learns there is more to a story than just the headlines. The two embark on a journey through Jack’s past where he recounts the rise and fall of his band Mogo and the irreplaceable bond between himself and collaborator Mia Stone. The feature she thought she was going to write, turns into so much more.
Blood and Bone is an evocative story told in alternating time periods, from the early ‘90s to the present day about deep bonds between flawed people whose only outlet of self-expression is through their music.

Between the pages of this one readers will meet an rock start with a story to tell and the woman who gives it a voice. Erin had a big task in front of her, knowing it wasn't going to be easy to get Jack to talk about the good and bad moments of his career. But as they began to reminisce, the memories ttook them on quite the heartbreaking journey. There are many ups and downs in the story and moments that will really make you think about the lives celebrities lead and what they give up when they sign on the dotted line to be a star. The ugly places stardom can take them and the damage it can have on their lives, as well as, the good it can do too. This was a very eye-opening and engaging story, I really enjoyed following these two on their journey, it was quite the heartstring- tugging adventure!
