From New York Times Bestselling Author Ryan Winfield, a sexy and shocking literary debut.
What would you do if you weren't afraid? That's the question facing young Trevor Roberts as he's being discharged from drug rehab, sure that he's hit rock bottom with nowhere to go but up.
With more twists than California's Highway 1, the intimate narrative follows a young man on a wild month-long ride to the dizzying, drunken heights of Napa Valley excess where he falls fast for his new boss's intoxicating wife and becomes entangled in a strange threesome affair. But things soon begin to unravel as Trevor is drawn into a secret world of sex and scandal, only to have his lust for success drag him down again through a phantasmagoria of hedonistic hell.
"Shocking and unapologetic", South of Bixby Bridge barrels along with the "frenetic pace of a Hollywood blockbuster," delivering" poetic prose loaded with images". With gripping drama, witty dialogue, and sexy, jaw-dropping glimpses into the nouveau-riche underworld of California's wealthy elite, you won't be able to put this riveting new novel down. Buckle up and enjoy the read!

This is a Kindle book by a brand new writer that is a bargain at its $3.99 price. When I was making up my mind whether to order it or not, I looked at the reviews. Out of 117 reviews, 107 people gave it the highest possible rating. Naturally I was intrigued. And now that I've finished the book in just two days, I can understand what all the praise was about.The main character is a young man who has trouble with drugs and alcohol. He's lost his house and his girlfriend, , has no money and has just gotten out of rehab. He copes the best way he can, resisting drugs, sleeping in his car and looking for a job. But soon, his life changes. He is given a job in a upscale investment firm by a very wealthy man and his life then takes on what seems to be in a positive direction. He is wined and dined and soon is earning an outrageous amount of big bucks and starts to live a lifestyle that is pure fantasyland. He is back on drugs and alcohol though and is even romancing the rich man's wife. Soon though, things start to fall apart.
The book is extremely fast paced. Something new happens almost every page. Once I started reading I was absolutely hooked. The young man's world became my own and I wallowed in the details of the over-the-top and decadent lifestyles of the characters. There is plenty of glitz and glamour and lots of titillation and the writing is so good that the reader cannot help but identify with the main character. There are twists and turns and lots of turmoil but in the end, things turn out for the best and the book ends on a positive and satisfactory note.
It's rare that a book captures my attention and holds so well. I literally could just not put it down. I am therefore happy to give it one of my highest recommendations.

South of Bixby Bridge (Audible Audio Edition) Ryan Winfield Birch Paper Press Books Reviews
After reading Jane's Melody I had to put all of Ryan Winfield's books on my TBR. I bought South of Bixby Bridge when I was half way through Jane's Melody, yes, I loved Jane's Melody so much, I was buying another book of his before I was even finished. You know how it is when you start a series (ie Black Dagger Brotherhood or Dark Hunters) and you have to quickly scoop up every single book in that series because you love it that much? That's how it is for me with Ryan's book. I honestly don't know how he flew under my radar for so long with how I love the kind of books he writes.
I was nervous when I went into this book. Here is my very fast confession, I was a meth addict (I know, once an addict always an addict, so color me a recovering crank addict with a lot of years behind me). I am at 11 years clean, in February it will be 12. It's not something I am proud of, there are a lot of bad memories that I don't like to think about ever, and it's not something I am ready to share more about other than saying, it happened, I fell, I recovered after another fall, and I've been clean for a very long time. I was nervous going into this book because of that. I wasn't worried because it would bring me back cravings by reading about someone else's addiction, I was worried because like I said, there are some bad bad memories that I don't enjoy revisiting. Repression, not always healthy, but sometimes necessary.
I started this book and just like Jane's Melody, I was completely absorbed in the first couple of pages. At 115 that first night, I didn't want to put it down to go to bed, I think I finally went to sleep after 2 that morning. It took me a couple more days to get back into it, because life happens, but I read the rest of it the same night I was able to pick my iPad back up.
Many people who have not dealt with addiction would look at Trevor and say WTH? How could he be so stupid??? For me, as someone who had a serious drug problem, I felt so much compassion, and I just kept hoping he would make the right choices for himself and his future. I cried a couple of times because I've been there, some sobriety time behind you, with your drug of choice dangling in front of you nose, literally in my case, I didn't make the right choice that first time. You think, I can do it once. I've gone this long. One time is not going to restart my addiction. I'll just do it socially. I have it all under control now. It doesn't work like that. You have to steer completely clear of those that participate in whatever vice it is you have and those who enable it. I had to literally cut every single friend I had out of my life to get clean. There's no looking back, no I can do this once. One line isn't going to kill me. That one line might be what leads to your death. As you read this book, if you haven't dealt with addiction in yourself or in someone you love, don't judge Trevor based on behavior, understand that addiction makes people act completely out of character when they are in the death grip of the drugs/alcohol/whatever it might be. Some of us are wired differently. We can't just do drugs recreationally (not that you should ever do that) or we can't have a drink socially. We get sucked right back into the madness. Have compassion and know that until that person hits rock bottom, until they reach out for help on their own, nobody can force them to change. No matter how much they love someone, no matter how much they don't want to disappoint someone, no matter how much they hate themselves when they are sober, they have to hit that point where they are crying out for help.
I felt literally hate for one character in this book. If you have read it, you know who I'm talking about. Hate. I don't feel hate for book characters often. Dislike, yes, hate, no. Maybe I shouldn't have. Maybe I should have had compassion like I did for Trevor, but I couldn't bring myself to feel that for this particular character.
Ryan has this incredible talent with the written word, with pulling these emotions out of you, happy, sad, fear, hate, hope, anger, chapter by chapter you go riding this roller coaster of feelings. Maybe it's because I've been there, but not a lot of books have tears streaming down my cheeks, some books will bring tears to my eyes (I'm a sentimental fool), this book, they fell. Normally I jump up and write a review as soon as I finish a book so that it's fresh in my mind. I needed a full day to think through my review of Bixby Bridge before I could write it. I needed to figure how much of myself I felt comfortable putting in to it.
Ryan, it was another incredible ride. Thank you. Now, on to the Park Service Trilogy.
Ryan Winfield you can tell a wonderful story I absolutely loved this book, it was as no other book that I had read and it was SHOCKING!!!! I am a little late with my review I read this book about 2 yrs ago and should have gave this review then but I admit I had not been doing any author justice due to them by writing a review when its a great book and this is one I should have done a long time ago...Its one of the few books I have read written in today's time by a man but boy oh boy can he write a great steamy hot read, it blew my mind! This book about Trevor is so real you actually feel like you are in the story and what a story is spun....Trevor gets out of drug rehab a scared young man with no place to go no job anymore he lost everything to drugs. he goes on a job interview and gets tangled up into a web of complete craziness! He wants his bosses wife he wants it all but at what costs?
This is a wonderful read....please do not miss it! It has mystery, danger, sex, drugs and finally realization of what life can hand you when you take it or what if you give it back? We do not always know about the dark dirty story of drugs and sex, this will show you a lot of that unknown or at least it did for me! I thank you for that Ryan Winfield!
Read it, love it, read it again that is what I did as I had to it was just blown away!!!! I love Trevor for many different reasons, find out what your favorite reason is!
