Much more.

So much more.
I’m his muse, and this is our story.

••••••••••••

REVIEW:  CRAVE is the first installment in KM Scott’s adult, contemporary ADDICTED TO YOU erotic romance serial focusing on New York Times bestselling author Ian Anwell and actress Kristina Richards. Told from alternating first person points of view (Ian and Kristina) Volume one introduces Ian and Kristina.

Ian is an addict with an addictive personality-alcohol and heroin are his choices but Kristina becomes his new obsession. He is a man whose successes have made him rich and famous, but have also brought self doubt and numbness. Ian needs a muse for his next project and Kristina is ripe for the picking.

Kristina is an actress, whose star is on the rise. When the world famous writer Ian Anwell requests to meet her in person, Kristina finds herself falling instantly in love with a man she doesn’t really know. She, too, has an addictive personality and Ian is her latest dependence.

Their attraction is immediate; sex and lust are a constant need but Ian demands secrecy in both his personal and private life. The sexual imagery is graphic, erotic, and often. Their story is one of insta-love and obsession.CRAVE sets the tone for two people whose need for one another becomes all encompassing and magnetic.

AdoreADORE (Addicted to You #2)
by K.M. Scott

Amazon | iBooks | B&N | Kobo | GooglePlay

Addiction and obsession brought Ian and Kristina together, and real life tore them apart.
For Ian, Kristina is everything. What began as an obsession has morphed into that something more he so wanted. Kristina is his muse and so much more, but now both of them must make choices that may change everything.
For Kristina, Ian offers all that she’s ever wanted. Love. Passion. Adoration. But these come with a price, and the cost of loving him may be more than she’s willing to pay.

••••••••••

REVIEW: ADORE is the second of the ADDICTED TO YOU four part serial by KM Scott and follows the tumultuous relationship between Ian and Kristina. At the end of CRAVE volume 1- our couple had separated when Kristina panicked about her relationship with Ian. ADORE focuses on their personal and professional struggles and the impending rise in both of their media stars.

Kristina and Ian have issues with addictions and trust, and as such there were times when the overriding emotions tipped the scales of sensibility. While our couple are addicted to one another, their pasts control so very much of their present and future. Kristina is quick to run but she has experience with betrayal and hurt. Ian also has issues of trust but his manifest in immature actions and selfish needs.

ADORE continues to highlight the highs and lows, the yin and yang of a relationship that is both toxic and needy. There is plenty of erotic $ex and in the end, could it be the only thing that keeps this couple together? ADORE ends on a bit of a cliff hanger-you will want to know what happens next.

ShatterSHATTER (Addicted to You #3)
by K.M. Scott

Amazon | iBooks | B&N | Kobo | GooglePlay

For Ian Anwell, addiction is a way of life. He can’t remember a time when he wasn’t addicted to something—heroin, alcohol, whatever made him feel good. But his newest addiction is better than all the others combined. Kristina makes him feel like the man he’s always wanted to be.
But addicts have a habit of wrecking things, even those they hold dear.

For Kristina Richards, Ian is everything. Love. Lust. Obsession. But even as she falls deeper in love with him and the madness they create together, she finds something she never expected to find in her time with him.
She finds strength she never knew she had.

•••••••••

REVIEW:  SHATTER is the third of four installments in KM Scott’s ADDICTED TO YOU erotic romance serial focusing on actress Kristina Richards and author Ian Anwell. Told from alternating first person points of view SHATTER picks up five weeks after the events of ADORE wherein our couple has separated once again. Misunderstanding leads to relapse and our hero begins a downward spiral as Ian struggles with his addiction and losing the woman that he loves. But forgiveness is short lived when Ian and Kristina become headline news and with it a truth that sends Ian into another abyss.

The relationship continues to be centered upon their sexual needs and wants. For all of their declarations of love, Kristina and Ian have problems with fidelity and telling the truth. Their emotional issues, and need to run continue to hurt one another –over and over again. There is no denying that Kristina and Ian’s relationship is toxic and poisonous.

Ian and Kristina’s love has been tested over and over, but now one final test may be too much for them to overcome.
The only part of his life other than Kristina that meant anything to Ian—his career—lays in shambles. Now he’ll have to decide if he can forgive the woman he loves for betraying his most important secret.

••••••••••

REVIEW: CLAIM is the fourth and final installment in KM Scott’s ADDICTED erotic romance serial focusing on actress Kristina Richards and author Ian Anwell. Told from alternating first person points of view (Ian and Kristina) CLAIM finds Ian on the run. When Ian discovers the truth about Kristina’s time away, he is no longer able to control the demons and leaves for places unknown. As Kristina navigates through the fall out, she makes it her mission to find Ian and beg for the forgiveness she does not deserve. What ensues is an erotic reaffirmation of their love but all does not end well for our leading couple.

The relationship continues to be volatile, explosive and almost co-dependent. You can’t deny there is a definite sexual need between Kristina and Ian but saying that I do not see anything beyond the heat and need. The $ex scenes are graphic and erotic. The characters are emotional and heartbreaking. There is so much back and forth, push and pull, yin and yang.

The conclusion to KM Scott’s ADDICTED TO YOU serial finds our couple facing an uncertain future but the epilogue fast forwards the timeline by three years, and in the ensuing time life has changed dramatically for Kristina and Ian. Friendships will change; a new direction in life will have to be addressed, but in the end Kristina and Ian will get their happily ever after.

ADDICTED TO YOU
(Addicted #1)
by Krista & Becca Ritchie
Genre: New Adult, contemporary, romance

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk/ Barnes and Noble / KOBO / The Book Depository

Addicted To YouABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 22, 2013

She’s addicted to sex. He’s addicted to booze…the only way out is rock bottom.

No one would suspect shy Lily Calloway’s biggest secret. While everyone is dancing at college bars, Lily stays in the bathroom. To get laid. Her compulsion leads her to one-night stands, steamy hookups and events she shamefully regrets. The only person who knows her secret happens to have one of his own.

Loren Hale’s best friend is his bottle of bourbon. Lily comes at a close second. For three years, they’ve pretended to be in a real relationship, hiding their addictions from their families. They’ve mastered the art of concealing flasks and random guys that filter in and out of their apartment.

But as they sink beneath the weight of their addictions, they cling harder to their destructive relationship and wonder if a life together, for real, is better than a lie. Strangers and family begin to infiltrate their guarded lives, and with new challenges, they realize they may not just be addicted to alcohol and sex.

Their real vice may be each other.

REVIEW: ADDICTED TO YOU is the first storyline in Krista Ritchie’s contemporary, new adult series focusing on two twenty year old Ivy League college students who enable one another’s addictions. Lily Calloway is addicted to sex and Loren (Lo) Hale is addicted to alcohol. ADDICTED TO YOU is the beginning of their story; one that follows Lily and Lo as they give in to the demands of their bodies and one another.

The premise follows Lily as she continuously places herself in danger for the next sexual fix. Nothing and no one is off limits including internet porn, gigolos and the nameless, faceless strangers she seduces every night. As Lo tries to help Lily with her addiction he is pulled deeper into the bottle until both of their situations affect not only their own lives but those of friends and family.

The family backgrounds play a significant role in the storyline. All of the major characters are from wealthy, uber rich and ultimately controlling families. There is no question that money breeds strange bedfellows and in this there appears to have been quite a bit of bed hopping from one generation to the next. As the heirs apparent to their family businesses, our class of wonder children makes you cringe at the possibility about the who and what running the Fortune 500 companies and controlling world powers.

Sex addiction is primarily a disorder that affects men but there are cases of women who cannot control their compulsions and impulses-yes sexual addiction is considered an OCD. In many ways, there is a double standard, as it addresses sexual addiction-men are alpha and horny; women are sluts and whores. And like most addictions, there is always a secondary psychological problem in play that pushes the addict into risky situations. Krista Ritchie has apparently done some homework with the issues of sex and alcoholism, for our couple is endowed with most of the side effects (public and private) including enabling one another with their demons.

This is not an easy story to read; you can’t help but sit in judgment against a young woman who thinks only of herself and her next orgasm. There are very few redeeming qualities in our couple but when the truth is finally revealed, help will come from the most unexpected revelations.

Krista & Becca Ritchie has written an introductory storyline that is gritty, raw and abrasive. There is no overt sexual situations-most are implied or recalled. But in the end, ADDICTED TO YOU will make you question the reality of the world in which you live-because you really do not know anything about the people next door or of those you meet.

RICOCHET
(Addicted 1.5 novella)
by Krista & Becca Ritchie
Genre: New Adult, contemporary, romance

Amazon.com / Amazon.ca / Amazon.uk/ Barnes and Noble / KOBO /

RicochetABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date August 2013

As a sex addict, Lily Calloway must do the impossible. Stay celibate for 90 days.

Cravings and fantasies become her new routine, but while Loren Hale recovers from his alcohol addiction, Lily wonders if he’ll realize what a monster she really is. After all, her sexual compulsions begin to rule her life the longer she stays faithful to him.

Progress. That’s what Lily’s striving for. But by trying to become closer to her family—people who aren’t aware of her addiction—she creates larger obstacles. When she spends time with her youngest sister, she learns more about her than she ever imagined and senses an unsettling connection between Daisy and Ryke Meadows.

With Lily and Lo’s dysfunctional relationship teetering and unbalanced, they will need to find a way to reconnect from miles apart. But the inability to “touch” proves to be one of the hardest tests on their road to recovery. Some love brushes the surface. Some love is deeper than skin.

Lily and Lo have three months to discover just how deep their love really goes.

——

Companion to the Sequel: A full-length New Adult Romance that continues where Addicted to You left off. As a companion novel, it bridges the gap between the first and second book. It is highly recommended to be read before Addicted for Now.

REVIEW: RICOCHET is the second instalment (novella) in Krista Ritchie’s contemporary, new adult Addicted series. The storylines takes place immediately follow the end of Addicted to You (Book 1) and ends just prior to the start of Addicted for Now (Book 2).

Krista & Becca Ritchie takes the reader into the mind of a sex addicted young woman as she endeavors to overcome some of her greatest fears and obsession with sex and getting off. This is a story about how one woman strives to keep the obsession from ruining her life only to discover that the compulsion is too strong. Lily struggles to keep a promise to herself and to the man that she loves. Recovery from addiction is hard but even harder when the drug that you crave is so close at hand.

RICOCHET is a novella that fills in some of the blanks of Lily and Lo’s prior history. We discover that the attraction to one another begins at an early age and so too, perhaps, the obsession and addictive tendencies that control their daily lives. We watch as Lily re-connects with her sisters and grows closer to the people who will be there through the times ahead.

Again, this will be a difficult storyline for many readers. There is no graphic sex only implied, but the actions of Lily Calloway will make you think about the reality of life for people who suffer with a similar addiction.

New Adult Romance recommended for readers 18+ for mature content

REVIEW: ADDICTED FOR NOW is the third instalment in Krista Ritchie’s new adult, contemporary Addicted series focusing on two young twenty something adults with some dark and dangerous addictions. In this particular storyline Loren (Lo) is a recovering alcoholic and Lily is in treatment for sex addiction. The Addicted Series pulls the reader into the ugly world of addiction and the resulting damage and destruction that comes with the inability to stop or just say no.

The storyline focuses on Lily and Loren’s recovery. Lo has just returned from a three month stint in rehab where he has had no access to Lily-his best friend and partner. Lily’s ongoing treatment for sex addiction will play a major role in Loren’s recovery especially when he realizes the how and why of Lily’s deep seated need for sex. This is a couple who have enabled each other for years and their recovery and subsequent survival will depend on the support of family, friends and each other. But like all dark stories, someone wants Lily and Lo to fail. As Loren and their group of friends begin to search for the person or people responsible, Lily begins to slide into her old habits when the threats come from an unlikely source.

ADDICTED FOR NOW and the Addicted Series are a gritty, no nonsense storyline about addiction and recovery. In this particular series Krista Ritchie address sex addiction and holds nothing back when a young woman places herself in danger at every opportunity with her need and addiction to sex. The storyline is told from alternating first person POVs –Lily and Lo- and makes no apologies for the dark side of addiction and pain.
