End of Year Addicted Series Giveaway!

To help celebrate the end of 2013, welcome the New Year, and to help promote the Addicted series, I'm holding a giveaway!  This giveaway will be open through 1/4/2014.

I started this fan page in November, shortly after reading Addicted to You and Ricochet.  I immediately fell in love with this series and haven't really been able to explain all the reasons why.  One of these days, I will sit down and write all about it; but for now, I can tell you that the main reason is the unconditional love that Lily and Lo have for each other.  Especially, how much Lo loves Lily.  I mean, Lily has done some pretty disturbing things in her past (major cringe-worthy things that make my skin crawl) and yet Lo's undying love remains.  If you've read the books, you know that Lily has always loved Lo, but was just too afraid to lose what they have and was too selfish (actually, they were both too selfish) and didn't want anything to get in the way of her addiction.

As you may know, Addicted for Now was just released on paperback and the authors have decided to release Ricochet on paperback as well (it was initially going to be available on ebook only), which will be available for purchase soon.  The first of two spinoffs, Kiss the Sky, will be released on January 24, 2014.  The second spinoff, Hothouse Flower, will be released sometime in February 2014.

I've been trying to spread the word about these books and I thought, what better way than to have a giveaway?

So, on to the fun part!  The winner will receive a paperback copy of Addicted to You, Ricochet, and Addicted for Now.  This giveaway is open Internationally so that everyone has a chance to win.  All you have to do is enter the Rafflecopter below.  Feel free to Share this Giveaway!  Good luck everyone!

Jason Behr as Lo

Have any of you ever seen or watched Roswell? It was a TV series that ran for 3 seasons from 1999 - 2002. I was (still kinda am) an avid fan of that show. Anyway, I was just thinking about how I could totally picture Jason Behr as Lo. What do you think?

Light brown hair, short on either side, full on top...Cheekbones that cut like ice and eyes like liquid scotch.

All Books in Paperback!

All books in the series, including the spinoffs, will be available in paperback. Ricochet will be available in paperback in January. And Addicted for Now will be available in paperback sometime soon (maybe by Friday, 12/20/2013).

Imperial Beach Teen Blog: New Adult November: THE VERY BEST NEW ADULT SERIES- Ever.

Review: Addicted for Now by Krista & Becca Ritchie

Addicted for Now by Krista & Becca Ritchie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Noooooooo!!!! I literally screamed that out loud when I reached the last page of this book. One word: EPIC. I did not want this story to end!! I even took my time reading it so that I didn’t breeze through it in one day. It’s going to be a loooooong wait for Kiss the Sky and Hothouse Flower.

I am completely obsessed with this series! I've been trying to get others to read this because it's unlike any of the other NAs I've read...no typical bad boy meets virgin and falls instantly in love with her. I love best friends turned lovers...and the love in this one is deep-seated. No insta-love here. I've seen a lot of people hate it because there's a lot of focus on their addictions and the authors don't sugar coat any of it or scale it back to make it more appealing. It's honest, raw, intense, and gut-wrenching. I like that it's real. I mean...people actually do suffer these addictions and nothing about it is pretty. But in the midst of all that dark and ugly world, out comes these two who are totally drowning and can't realize that they actually love each other so much more than their vice.

I’m a huge fan of Krista & Becca Ritchie. They are geniuses! This story is wonderfully written. They make you want to know more about the other characters. The dynamic between all 6 characters, the way they interact with each other and play off each other...I think the authors did an amazing job at writing such a complex story. Shit, I would religiously tune into this show every night if it were a TV series. I feel so much like a part of their life.

Before reading the first book, Addicted to You, I had different expectations based on the synopsis. There are some misconceptions about this series and I think the major one is that this is erotica because of the whole sex addiction issue. Addicted to You and Ricochet do not have explicit sex scenes. However, it does get progressively more explicit in Addicted for Now as Lily becomes more open and less ashamed of the subject.

Another misconception (that I am guilty of) is that this is a romance novel about 2 people who are addicts. Well, Krista & Becca put that one to rest in one of their interviews. In Krista's words, "This is a book about addiction with a romance. What I mean is that we didn’t throw addiction into the book as an afterthought or a ploy to sell more books. It’s a book about addiction and there just so happens to be a love story involved." --> Whole interview can be found here

It's very real and doesn't downplay their addiction at all. In fact, it takes you inside their mind and lets you see how it completely consumes their life. Female sex addiction is not something you hear about everyday (hell, I don't really even hear about male sex addicts), so this series brings something out of the ordinary to the table.

What really drew me into the story and what drives me crazy (yep, totally playing Britney Spears' song in my head right now) about this series is Lil and Lo's deep-seated, unconditional love for one another. They've been best friends since childhood, they're each other's confidants, they know each other's dirtiest secrets and yet they still have this undying love for one another… it all just makes my heart ache and beat so hard that it feels like it's going to pump right out of my chest. I love how this story just captures me whole. Lil and Lo's most intimate moments make me cry. Intense! I want a love like that.

They don’t catch any breaks in Addicted for Now. Talk about dysfunctional families…geez. That’s probably an understatement. You can see how broken everyone is; not just Lil and Lo. There was a point in the story that my heart was just torn out of my chest for Lo. OMG talk about heart-wrenching pain.

And I just love all the supporting characters!

Rose and Connor....

"They belong together the way books fit in a library."

Seriously. So cannot wait for Kiss the Sky! I desperately need to know what's going on inside Rose's and Connor's head! I’m also looking forward to what’s in store for Daisy and Ryke. Guess I'll just have to wait 2-3 more months to find out!

And gosh the way Ryke and Lo fight. That’s some brotherly love.

When I heard that this book was going to be over 400 pages long, I thought “YES! It will probably leave me completely satisfied.” But nope. It just left me wanting more. Seriously! What the hell!? This book is JUST THAT GOOD! I am completely consumed by the Addicted Series. If there was any way I could give this 7 stars, I would!



There are some totally unexpected events that happen in this story. The new therapist…wow. Totally way beyond effed up!!!!! And the leak…OMFG.



I’ve learned that there are 3 phases to this story line. So, if you’re one of those people who like to wait until all the books in the series are out before you start reading it, Addicted for Now completes the first phase in the story line. There are no cliffhangers at the end of Addicted for Now. The second phase contains the 2 spin offs: Kiss the Sky and Hothouse Flower, which are due to be released in January and February 2014, respectively. Then, the third phase ends with Thrive and Addicted After All, which are both due to be released sometime in 2014.

So what are you waiting for? Start reading the series if you haven’t yet! :)

Review: Ricochet by Krista & Becca Ritchie

Ricochet by Krista & Becca Ritchie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This series is climbing the charts...it's worked it's way up to one of my top favorites. So this book starts right where book 1 left off and it deals with the time that Lil and Lo spend apart. From what the authors have said, you shouldn't feel lost if you decide not to read this one and jump right to book 2. But let me tell you, it would be a damn shame if you don't read this book, because the story just gets better and better.



It is just like book 1 with the emotional rollercoaster deal. I mean...There were moments when I felt like this...


So much pain and longing...so much heartache.


Then, there were still those random really funny parts that catch you off guard


And there were moments that were pure and utter bliss...




The next 2 1/2 weeks are going to be loooooong. I want more Lo and Lil and Nov 30 can't come soon enough! Love love love this series! It's so refreshing to read a book that's unlike the rest in it's kind. It talks about real (serious) issues without making them so cliche (reminds me of Easy by Tammara Webber) and without downplaying how serious they truly are. The authors do a great job of pulling you into each situation and giving you the details and history so that it doesn't leave you hanging. Highly recommended MUST READ!

Addicted to You by Krista & Becca Ritchie
My rating: 5 of 5 stars



Wow. Ok. So.



Where to start...this book pulled me in from the very beginning. I mean, talk about some damaged people. This is the most effed up relationship/situation I've ever read. I've never been addicted to anything...my body just rejects anything that's "not right." I mean, I can never have too much alcoholic beverage because I puke my guts out and then pass out. And I've even tried smoking for 3 months, but it just wouldn't stick. I couldn't hack it...I couldn't get addicted to it. So, to read about these MC where one's addicted to booze and the other to sex and they're using each other and enabling each other's addiction...I mean...wow...I was hooked. They were just a big disaster waiting to happen; a ticking time bomb.

My emotions went for a rollercoaster ride throughout the book. One minute I was laughing my ass off, then next I was thoroughly depressed.






I love Lil and Lo. They are just meant for each other in every single way. They understand each other, they've been there for each other, and they have all that history and chemistry. They have that unconditional love for one another and it's going to break my heart to pieces if they don't end up together in the end and get their HEA. I could not stop reading this book!! I couldn't even put it down for 2 seconds to do anything at all today.



I had to find out what's going to happen next. Anytime I was interrupted, I swear I wanted to hurt someone.



Great story! I'm addicted. I'm off to read the next book in the series and can't wait till the next book comes out!
