About the book: Release Date November 7, 2016
Kade Wright is an expert in rocking any woman’s world.
Sexy, rich, and the type you don’t bring home to meet your mother, he has broken more hearts than he can remember, and there is no end in sight. Until one mistake lands him in boiling hot waters. When his company orders him to the LOVE ADDICTS ANONYMOUS Rehab Center, he better get his affairs in order or else he loses his seat on the company board.
Love isn’t supposed to be addictive. But for Vicky Sullivan it is.
A true romantic at heart, she comes with a bit of a stalking tendency, and is completely not adverse to commitment. But who’s Kade to judge? As someone who’s seeking commitment and afraid of never finding love, she’s the type of woman he wouldn’t usually hit on. Except, she’s hot and keeps avoiding him…yes, even after seeing his private parts naked in all their glory.
Kade isn’t known as the tall, dark and ruthless businessman for no reason. Romance isn’t in the air, more like wild between the sheets action with no expectations. Vicky’s convinced she can resist, but Kade has other plans for her.
Can Vicky stay away from the one man who seems so easy to get and so hard to keep?

REVIEW: LOVE ADDICTS ANONYMOUS Part 1 by JC Reed and Jackie Steele focuses on a six week stint at a rehab center for ‘love addict’ Vicky Sullivan, and ‘sex addict’ Kade Wright.
Told from dual first person points of view (Vicky and Kade) LOVE ADDICTS ANONYMOUS part one focuses on the introduction of our leading couple, and the center’s questionable and controversial mode of therapy pairing sex addicts with love addicts in adjoining suites. What ensues is the back and forth banter between Vicky and Kade, and the possibility that this form of therapy may not be what the doctor has ordered.
Throughout the story line we get up close and personal in the mind of our leading couple-their reasoning, excuses, and thoughts of denial in their attempts to justify their previous actions. Vicky is a woman obsessed with her ex-boyfriend; and Kade is a man determined to complete a year long challenge of a different woman every day. The maturity of both characters is in question; their lack of personal culpability is frightening. There are no $ex scenes or romantic interludes –only reflections of past indiscretions.
LOVE ADDICTS ANONYMOUS part one is a revealing and lively look at two people whose ‘addictions’ pull one another together for a potential explosive union.

It’s the same guy.
I turn to face him, my gaze strangely drawn south, and find that a thin towel is wrapped around his hips, covering his junk.
I let out an exasperated snort.
It’s really tiny. The towel, that is.
Not his tool.
That one’s about the biggest I’ve ever seen, counting TV and Internet pop-ups.
I don’t want to gawk, and yet I find my gaze glued to the clearly defined bulge beneath that towel.
In the bright light spilling in through the large bay windows, I can see everything. There’s no denying he still has a raging erection, as though pleasuring himself wasn’t nearly enough to still his sexual appetite.
“Seriously?” I ask, pointing to the towel. “Can’t you put something on?” My voice sounds strangled, breathy, which I attribute to the fact that I’m highly uncomfortable standing in front of a hot guy built like a Greek god and hung like a donkey.
“What’s so important that you had to interrupt?”
“I interrupted?” My jaw drops, and white hot flashes of anger begin to cloud my vision. “Oh, you’re talking about your date with your right hand. Sorry about that.” I smirk. “What are you doing here?”
His brows shoot up. “Here?”
“Yes, here in my apartment.”
Ignoring my question, he squeezes past me, his erection coming dangerously close to my abdomen. From up close, he smells of sandalwood and raw manliness.
My breath catches in my throat.
It takes all my willpower not to jump a few steps back to put some distance between us.
He retrieves another white towel from his suitcase and wipes his face with it.
Every fiber of my body is heating up at the sight of his naked back. Bruce is tall and a bit skinny. This guy is built like a boxer: tall with broad shoulders and hard muscles in places I didn’t know existed.
As he turns to regard me, I notice the color of his eyes.
Deep brown and broody with long, dark lashes.
They’re the sort of eyes that make you feel like you’re the only woman in his world.
