Purchase options and add-ons

A grumpy/sunshine MM romance from New York Times bestselling author, J. Daniels.

They say the best way to get over someone is to get under someone else.
They say the best way to stay sober is to love yourself.

I’m great at making bad decisions.
Addict? Check. Poor impulse control? Check. Obsessed with the guy I’m sponsoring? Check Check Check.
There is no one worse for me to want in my bed than Jake Tully. He’s hot and grumpy and literally a terrible idea. Terrible. Worse, no one has ever made me feel the way he does — valued. But here I am - thinking about him again.
Falling for my sponsor is not my worst idea yet, but it’s damn close.

Felix Fields is everything good. He’s thoughtful and kind. I can’t help but think about every bad thing we could do between these sheets.
But we can’t be together. I’m not willing to risk my recovery for anyone – even if he might be perfect for me.

Finding a love like this is nothing short of a tragedy.

Includes a Felix bonus scene!

**Author's Note:
This book ends in a Happily Ever After, but getting there isn't easy.

By turns heart-breaking, life-affirming, and sexy as all get out, The Tragedy of Felix and Jake is a must-read that you'll want a box of tissues on hand to survive. You'll love it, even if it breaks you before it's over. - Beth C, Goodreads Review

Felix is the best friend you never knew you needed in your life. Jake is the grumpy guy you need to watch succeed. Together their story is filled with amazing highs and tragic lows.

J. Daniels is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Alabama Summer, Dirty Deeds and Sweet Addiction series, as well as her MM romance: The Tragedy of Felix and Jake.

Best known for her sexy, small-town romances, her debut novel, Sweet Addiction, was first published in 2014 and went on to become an international bestseller. Since then, she has published more than fifteen novels, including the Dirty Deeds series with Forever Romance.

Daniels grew up in Baltimore and currently lives in Maryland with her husband and three kids. A former full-time Radiologic Technologist, she began writing romance after college and quickly discovered a passion for it. You'll still catch her in scrubs every now and then, but most of her time is spent writing these days—a career she is eternally grateful for.

Always an avid reader, Daniels enjoys books of all kinds, but favors Romance (of course) and Fantasy. She loves hiking, traveling, going to the mountains for the weekend, and spending time with her family.

    One of my favorite books with a beautiful cover
  • Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2025
    The Tragedy of Felix by J. Daniels is one of those rare books that grabs your heart from the first page and doesn’t let go. I read this along with the audiobook, and I have to say—Iggy Toma and Tristan Josiah delivered phenomenal performances. Their voices brought every emotion to life, from laughter to heartbreak, and they captured the soul of the story perfectly.

    This book had me laughing out loud but it also made me cry more than once. At its core, this is the deeply emotional journey of two addicts, both fighting to stay sober while unexpectedly finding love in the process. Their story is messy, raw, tender, and so incredibly human.

    J. Daniels has written something truly special here. It’s not just a romance—it’s a story about healing, forgiveness, and hope. One of the most beautifully written and emotionally impactful reads I’ve experienced in a long time.

    But the story is definitely heartbreakingly FANTASTIC!!! Parts of their lovestory are very hard to read without a visceral reaction.....Watching the two of them navigate both differing degrees sobriety, self-loathing, and then co-dependency before a HFN ending was at times wrenchingly beautiful and head-banging anger. Totally worth reading though do read the trigger warnings.

    The hype is real. I loved pretty much everything about this book 💜. The angst scared me at first, but turns out there are so many funny and cute moments that even the really dark moments were easier to digest.

    I fell for these men, CJ included cause what a great brother he is ! 🥰

    I think Felix and Jake deserve the best kind of love, love from each other, love from their friends, families, they deserve happiness even if their addiction is painful sometimes 🥺.

    I knew that this book wasn’t going to be an easy read but this book broke me. I loved the story of Felix and Jake. It’s tragic and sometimes sad but they fight for each other. I love that this book really tells the ugly truth and not just the romantic aspects.
