eArc received for review
Synopsis:
He's addicted to
booze. She's addicted to sex...staying sober is only half the battle.
No. More. Sex.
Those are the three words Lily Calloway fears the most. But Loren Hale is determined to be with Lily without enabling her dangerous compulsions. With their new living situation—sleeping in the same bed, for real, together—Lily has new battles. Like not jumping Lo’s bones every night. Not being consumed by sex and his body.
Loren plans to stay sober, to right all of his wrongs. So when someone threatens to expose Lily’s secret to her family and the public, he promises that he’ll do anything to protect her. But with old enemies surfacing, Lo has more at stake than his sobriety.
They will torment Lily until Lo breaks.
And his worst fear isn’t relapsing. He hears the end. He sees it. The one thing that could change everything. Just three words.
No. More. Us.
No. More. Sex.

Addicted Series
My Review:
Addicted For Now by Krista & Becca Ritchie was intense, emotional and eye-opening! Krista & Becca Ritchie did a phenomenal job with this series! The writing style was so amazing that I could feel Lo & Lily's emotions in every single chapter. It was a captivating story and I could not put this book down! If you have not read Addicted to you (Addicted, #1) and Ricochet (Addicted, #1.5) I suggest that you read them before reading Addicted For Now (Addicted, #2). In Addicted For Now we get to read from two different POV. I love reading from different POV! This is an amazing gift that authors are giving us readers. This is a long read (about 490 pages) I enjoyed every single chapter and I felt like all the events that took place needed to be included in the story. I became a bit *Ahem* addicted to these characters and I honestly wanted to know everything about them!
The story picks up where Ricochet left off. Lo has been in rehab for three months and he's finally coming back home. Lily has been waiting for Lo, but she never expected that his return would be so hard on her. She's been doing well for the past three months, but her real test starts when Lo is near her. We follow Lily and Lo's journey, which is filled with many obstacles. They will stand together through thick and thin to fight against their demons and the people who want to hurt them. They will do everything in their power to overcome their fears and find that happiness that they deserve.
The characters in this series are FANTASTIC! I really connected with Lily, Lo, Rose, Connor, Daisy and Ryke. They are strong, funny and lovable characters. I loved the way that every character had a role to play in this story and all of them brought this read to a different level. It's very important for me to connect to the characters and not only the main ones. Lily & Lo are an amazing couple! I learned so much with their story. The way Lo loves Lily ... Awwww!!! It's breathtaking! He never gives up on her, he puts her back on the road to recovery when she slips and most of all he shows her she's his EVERYTHING! I want to give a special mention to Ryke. He was one of my favorite characters in the story. He was exactly what Lo needed to overcome this addiction. His support and determination to see him battle his addiction and help Lily with hers was OUTSTANDING! I'm so happy that Rose & Connor and Daisy & Ryke will get their own book :)
My Rating:
I give Addicted For Now by Krista & Becca Ritchie 4.5 intense, passionate, addictive, seductive, wonderful stars! This series is a must on your TBR list!
