ABOUT THE BOOK: Release Date October 8, 2015
Tell me your deepest, darkest secrets. I dare you.
Addiction comes down to one simple, primitive concept. Desire.
My name is Dr. Dixon Mathews, and I’m New York’s finest shrink. For $500 an hour, people tell me their darkest, most sinful secrets.
My own addiction? Sex.
I might be certified in solving other people’s problems, but not mine –
I know I’m a lost cause. I don’t do relationships. I don’t even do the same woman twice.
But that’s all about to change, thanks to two entirely different women who awaken my deepest desires.
Who will I choose?
I know who I should choose, but I never said I was the hero of this story, or even the good guy. And besides, who wants to be good, when it feels so good being bad?
My tale isn’t for the faint-hearted. If you’re game, strap yourself in and expect the unexpected. But don’t say I didn’t warn you…
Achingly sexy and highly addictive, the first in the Sinful Pleasures Series will have you hooked. Driven to Sin coming very soon…
•••••••••••••••
REVIEW: ADDICTED TO SIN is the first installment in Monica James’s contemporary, adult Sinful Pleasures erotic, romance series focusing on thirty two year old psychiatrist Dr. Dixon Mathews, and twenty three year old college student Madison.
Told from dual first person points of view (Madison and Dixon) ADDICTED TO SIN focuses on Dr. Dixon Matthews and his addiction to sex. Dixon is a man-whore; a man, who six weeks prior to his wedding, discovered his fiancé was sleeping with his best friend, and in the ensuing year our ‘hero’ has acted out his heartbreak and pain by screwing everything anyone has to offer. One year later Dixon will meet his future-a dual path of addiction-one for a woman who offers nothing but $ex, and the other for the woman who would steal his heart. But Dr. Dixon Mathews will soon discover that the two paths will cross and with it more heartbreak and the potential to destroy his life.
ADDICTED TO SIN follows Dixon’s spiral into h*ll. As a psychiatrist he continues to cross the line of professional ethics; as a man he has lost sight of what it is he truly wants and needs. The storyline is as tragic as a Shakespearean Play; heartbreaking as it reaches its inevitable final act; and as twisted as a gnarly branch of a family tree where sins of the past meet the sins of the present. The storyline twist is predictable, fateful and tortured; our heroine’s life is about to spin out of control.
Monica James pulls the reader into a story of one man’s addiction; an uneasy realization that his choices have led him to desperation; and a possible future where everything he knows will be ripped apart through blackmail and betrayal. There are moments of loss and acceptance; rejection and grief; falling in love and letting go. ADDICTED TO SIN is a story of impassioned need; detestable acts; and desperate attempts to make everything all right.
