Book Description:
Prudence Aldrich is a sex addict. Five weeks ago, she checked into the Serenity Hills rehab center to prevent that addiction from ruining every important relationship in her life. Now Prue must face the trail of destruction she left behind, including mending the broken bond with her teenage son, finalizing the divorce from her husband, Nick, and using a newly learned set of skills to ward off her insatiable cravings for male attention-a compulsion that puts her friendship with lifelong pal Lily to the test.
Adding ever further complications to the hurdles in her path is the arrival into town of Alistair Prescott, her in-rehab romantic obsession, and the one person in the world most capable of throwing Prue off her recovery. Meanwhile, Serenity Hills counselor Mike Sullivan is undergoing a crisis of his own-one that will drive him to the rediscovery of a lifelong passion . . . and causing him to cross paths again with Prue, his former patient.
A Dress the Color of the Moon tracks the rocky and sometimes disastrous path to recovery-a recovery that will require Prudence and her friends to face down the demons of their pasts while learning to accept the fearful uncertainty that comes with living life on your own two feet.

MY THOUGHTS ON THIS BOOK
I didn’t read the first book in this series, but I had no problem picking up Prue’s story. Just out of rehab, I’m sure it was hard for her to start her new life. She has a lot to prove to everyone, and regain their respect instead of people just waiting for her to mess up again. This was not an easy book to read. Jennifer Irwin does a fantastic job of dealing with addiction with its raw emotions flying everywhere. Pure has her work cut out for her to kick this addiction. Thankfully she has several people supporting her, like her son and best friend.
There are several other really troublesome issues going on in this book. I think Irwin does a really nice job writing all of these issues into the story with sex addiction bring the main one. She also does a great job of laying everything before a reader and then start weaving it all together with the care, love and thoughtfulness needed. This us a rough journey but I’m glad I was able to go along with this part of Prue’s story. If you are in any kind of addiction and want a second chance, this is a good book for you to read. This one is getting Four Stars from me.
