Who knew the Stone men could get any sexier?
Well apparently Emma Hart, because WILD TEMPTATION (a spin off to the CALL series) sees Tyler KO Aaron in the fight for the hottest Hart Hero. And let me tell you how . . .
* He's hot. Obviously.
* He's British. Oh the charm!!
* He's a wicked dirty talker.
* He gives damn good sex. Or you know, so I read.
* He's adorable!
* And if you read this book in public, he WILL make you blush.
Gah! The hotness levels in this book are through the roof!!! I love how as Emma matures as a writer, she gets more and more daring in her work, and Tyler and Liv's story is the perfect example of that. I just couldn't get enough. It's been a long time since I've highlighted so many quotes in a book that I'm reading, and my copy of WILD TEMPTATION is packed full of them!! Like these little gems . . .
"What are we doing?"
"We're wingin' it, baby girl. Totally fucking winging it."
"You should never feel inferior to the people you'll easily outshine."
"You won't destroy us. I won't let you. If you break something, I'll fix it."
"Don't let the fear of falling in love stop you from basking in the possibility."
Oh, sorry. You wanted the sexy quotes? Okay, okay!
"Surely you know by now the only thing allowed in that gorgeous pussy is me."
"Next time I try and shut you up, it won't be with my mouth. It'll be with my cock."
"I want to make your heart pound and your body hum with pleasure. I want to make you lose your breath. I want to make your pussy throb. And I want to know it's because of me."
I think Goodreads may go up in flames if I quote Tyler anymore so I'm going to say one more thing and then I'm going.
Challenges are made, and hearts are put on the line as Liv and Tyler give in to the temptation that neither of them could deny. A panty-melting addition to Hart's addictive novels, and her best work to date.
And ok, I may have lied before. Because it's the PERFECT way to end this review, here's one more quote from Tyler - "I hope your knickers - and your heart - are ready for it."

Rich, addicted to sex, dominant hero.
Sassy, addicted to love, bartender/model heroine.
They fuck and think they'll never see each other again.
Guess what, they see each other again ! Surprising.
They have a serious discussion about not sleeping together again.
Guess what, they fuck again ! Surprising.
They become fuck buddies.
Drama. Drama. Twist. Drama.
Confessions.
They are in love, but don't want to admit it to each other.
Cliffhanger.
Sound familiar ? Yep, it's the same story you've already read more times than you can count. So why not save 3.73$ and go buy a book that's original ? It breaks my heart to say it cause I love Emma Hart, but that's what I should have done...

You’ve met the sexy and brilliant Aaron Stone when Dayton got a blast from the past. They managed to find love with one another. Now it’s time for the two most important people in each of their lives to find a happily ever after as well.
And they just might be able to find it together.
“Of all my triggers, Tyler is my biggest one yet. He knows what I want in bed. He knows how to work my body, and as soon as I get addicted to that, the rest will follow. It’ll follow in a wild burst of temptation and obsession that I won’t be able to resist.”
If you’ve read the prequel novella, Wild Attraction, then you know just how hot and heavy things can get for Liv and Tyler.
Two strangers. One night.
That usually pans out as just a one night stand, but that’s not the case for these two.
They’re destined for more than just one wild night.
Fate? Destiny? Coincidence?
Something brought these two together again and again, and it’s the best thing that could’ve happened!
“I’ve never met anyone else so perfect for me—inside and outside of the bedroom—and I’m not letting you go. I’m gonna take you any way I can get you, baby girl. Any way at all. Even if that means it’s on your terms.”
Move over bikers, CEO’s and cowboys… it’s all about photographers! Well, one photographer in particular. Tyler Stone AKA Mr. Tall, Dark, Handsome, and Oh So British is to die for (though he’s got nothing on his cousin in my opinion). The scenes where he has a camera in one hand and Liv in the other is fiercely sensual. I’ve never read sex scenes so naughty and tasteful at the same time. What I love about Ty, aside from the fact that he’s a hot slab of British meat, is his assurance of what he wants and his determination to get it.
While Liv’s body may be easily attained by him, her heart, ehh not so much.
“It came to my attention during dinner that you’re rather mouthy.”
“I’m an independent woman. Being a sarcastic, mouthy bitch is an occupational hazard.”
Now for Miss. Olivia Warren. I’ve loved Liv since the first time she popped up in Late Call, and I wanted nothing more than to have her story. I never thought her story would be quite like this. Liv is a badass, mouthy bitch and just like Tyler, I can’t get enough of her. She has a lot of pain and damage that’s been caused by a heartbreaking event during her teen years, but she doesn’t come off as a needy, weak character. She’s aware of her problems and tries to keep a handle on them. She constantly fights her feelings towards Tyler and little by little, we find out exactly why.
“He gets me. I want someone not afraid to tell me what they want, and I want someone not afraid to put those words into fucking action. I want someone real and raw who won’t treat me like I’m a fragile, little doll in bed. I want someone like Tyler.”
Most of the book is Liv and Ty’s constant sexual tension (and release, don’t worry) and Liv’s struggle to fully give in to Tyler. While that may sound like a snoozefest, Emma slips in wonderful inner thoughts for Liv and it allows the reader to be intrigued by her past.
But Liv isn’t the only one who has secrets. Tyler holds something back from Liv, and he’s willing to share it with her if she admits her feelings and promises him more than just sex.
For me, it was easy to see what their secrets were. There was no big “aha” moment, but rather the curiosity of how these two will handle everything. I think that’s more of what Emma was going for as opposed to a big secret reveal sort of thing. This story is placed on a deeper level and focuses more on the mending of Liv and Tyler, and the way they’ll create a cohesive relationship after all is said and done.
“Tyler Stone is everything. Everything I shouldn’t want. Everything I should stay away from. Everything dangerous, everything risky, everything that toes the line between good and bad. Everything addictive. Everything obsessive. Everything tempting.”
Dayton and Aaron of course show up throughout the book and it’s so nice to be reminded of their adorable, sexy relationship.
I never fail to be surprised by just how much Emma’s writing keeps progressing. Each of her characters have such vibrant and distinctive voices and personalities. Liv and Tyler are definitely holding their own against Dayton and Aaron. I can’t wait to see what’s in store for them both as individuals and a couple.

Okay - I really liked the prequel, so I decided to read this one. So, what didn't work for me. Well, we are told that Tyler is such a bad boy and a sex addict. However, that is all we ever hear or see about this fact. He is into Liv from the moment he met her - basically, no other women were mentioned; he didn't see or have anything to do with other women. So, we are told but never shown how he is a bad boy or that he truly has an addiction. The same goes for Liv - she is a love addict - so we are told - and she reflects (little by little) about how it is so bad, she will endanger anyone she loves or forms a relationship with - but that is it. I truly didn't see any signs of love addiction in her - she had freak outs that she was going to exhibit behaviors - but that is it. When she comes clean - the things she claims she wants to know about Tyler (as part of an addiction), seem to be normal things that people in relationships want to know about each other: favorite color, sports team, etc. So, this book didn't live up to the promise of the description for me. I did like the characters and the story had promise (so did the writing), so 2.5 stars.

2.5 STARS~
I read the prequel and my interest was peaked, so I didn't hesitate jumping into Wild Temptation, but regretted the decision almost immediately. I admit, I loved the idea of the bad boy sex addict that Tyler was set up to be. And throughout the book, there were references to his bad boy ways...but there were no signs of them. He was the perfect book boyfriend!! I wanted so many times to smack Liv upside the head. Her "addiction" was just kind of ridiculous. She had ONE minor set back when she was young and since then she's done everything she can to avoid falling into the same situation. Her indecisiveness was enough to give you whiplash and just about ruined the entire book for me. If it weren't for that, this would've been an extremely hot read and I would've been able to rate the book much higher.

4.5 starss!
Emma Hart writes the best cliffhangers, ever. She always cuts the story short on the best part. Her cliffies are always unexpected and unpredictable. One more thing is that I love how she gets every woman's thoughts. Like, she's so fckng right every damn time. This woman gets me. This woman understands what its like being a woman. Not that she's not a woman.. but, she has her own way of words on understanding how hard it is to be a woman with issues. I've never given her or her novels an eye-roll. Never.
Everyone finds Liv annoying? Well gurl, I don't. In fact, I love her. She's one ordinary sexy woman who bar-tends despite her advantage on being a Victoria Secret model. She's just.. relate-able. I totally get this woman. Being obsessed is dangerous and she's soooo right.
"My name is Olivia Warren. I'm not in love with Tyler Stone--not yet. But I am wholly, irreversibly, and overwhelmingly addicted to him."
I really really find this novel amazing. Well yes, one: because of the hero. Like cmon, who can't resist a sexy Brit--a tall, dark, handsome Brit--if I may add. And.. he's a photographer. Oh god. I would love to hire that man as my photographer all day. Yummm. And dearlord, that man is seriously a monster in bed. Dominating, rough, rough, rough, and adventurous. Oh.. and yes, he has a filthy mouth. Want a sample?
"I can still taste the sweetness of your kisses on my tongue. I can still fucking feel you clenching around my fingers as you moan into my mouth."
That man sure is dreamy.
"Where were we?" he asks over kissing my neck.
I swallow my small moan.
"You were about to fuck me."
The tension/attraction between the two leads was absolutely intense. Those two, Liv and Tyler, were like.. a ticking bomb. More like.. if they won't touch each other's organs for an hour, they would go crazy. And if they find a chance to have sex after a rough day, ITS HOLY MOTHERFCKNG FAST & ROUGH. Like, damnnnnnn. Emma Hart really knows what she's writing. She knows how to turn the temperature up, up, up!
"I'm Baz," College Guy says, holding out his hand for me to shake. I put his change in his hand and lean forward. "I'm out of your league,"
The humor--another thing that I really liked about this. Yes. *nods in agreement* The fact that the humor is sooo dry makes it totally hilarious. Adding the funny and adorable extras from Dayton and Aaron's pre-wedding preparations. LOL.
"You are mine, Liv, whether you admit it to yourself or not. You're mine when you're wrapping your hand around my cock."
I know, Tyler baby. I know. Oh, my name is not Liv. LOL. I forgot.
Anywhoooo, I totally love this. Its perfect and I JUST CANT WAIT for the sequel. It was perfectly written and cover.. yes.. I forgot about the cover. Its hot.
I would love to read this from Tyler's POV, if you would ask me. I just love how that man thinks esp now that we all know that that guy is sex addict. LOL.

"He’s a sex addict. I’m a love addict.
This is temptation."

Wild Temptation is due for release on 18 August.
Tyler Stone. The kind of guy to not ask names, never go back for seconds, who will open a door for you just to stare at your arse and is addicted to sex. Lots of it.
Olivia "Liv" Warren. The kind of woman to not ask names, definitely never go back for seconds, melts when a man opens the door for her and is addicted to the idea of love.
One, nameless, night and they part ways. Perfect.
Until they meet again. Afternoon delight. Part ways with first names. Manageable.
The next time they meet it's as maid-of-honour and best man to the same betrothed couple (Dayton and Aaron from the Call series.) Crap.
Battle of the wills ensues. Tyler thinking he can continue to sink his *ahem* into Liv. And Liv thinking she can persuade him to cease and desist by acting like a megabitch!
They come to an arrangement but lines start to blur, strings start to attach, emotions ripple through them and declarations of possessiveness are made.
I adored Liv purely for her sass and attitude! There's nothing innocent and submissive about her ... in public. It's a whole other story in the bedroom. And this is where Tyler came into his own. His sex addiction makes him need to be the one in charge and much to her surprise (and pleasure, lots of pleasure!) Liv likes it.
I love me a dirty talker. And a British dirty talker just makes me hotter! Loved the "Britspeak" throughout and could easily imagine Tyler whispering his dirty thoughts in Liv's ear in the accent!!
Sexy men and strong women aside, the depth of feeling I got from reading this book is outstanding. I felt how Liv felt. I got her reasons for resisting the inevitable. I also understood Tyler's way of handling his bitch. It was intense. When I reached the end (another classic Hart ending by the way, GAH!) I was almost devastated when I couldn't turn the page on my kindle anymore!
Emma's style of writing is very similar to that of the Call series but with two oh-so-different main characters. I swear, their inner monologue and outer banter with one another and those around them made me laugh, giggle and oh so attractively snort my way through the book.
Sorry to Aaron Stone but your cousin has well and truly knocked you off the pedestal I put you on! Tyler "Mr Sex" Stone, I look forward to more from you!

I am having a hard time trying to grasp how exactly trusting him will ensure her addiction to love (nice way to say she becomes unhealthily obsessed) does not spiral out of control.
They are having a no-strings-attached kind of relationship, yet neither act as if it is that kind of a relationship. She is quite literally becoming obsessed. That is not healthy and he feeds her addiction. That could destroy her.
“Do you know you do this thing where one minute you really like me then the next you’re bitching at me like you’re at the height of your period and someone stole all the chocolate?”
How many times will it be said that she must be on her period if she is simply uncomfortable or angry? Ugh.
Also...What's with the constant mentioning of Candy Crush?
Is she paid to promote it?

Although I loved the prequel to this book in afraid to say I'm not loving this series as much as I thought I would.
Whilst Tyler doesn't really disappoint, he could be a bit more alpha, Liv is a royal pain in the butt. I can't warm to her apart from her sarcasm. She gave me a headache!
The "shock" at the end of the book doesn't really surprise.
Onwards to see if Tyler gets his happily ever after. The 3 stars awarded are mainly for him

5 Flighty Bitch Stars!
I seriously LOVED this book! I'm so glad I had the whole box set to get me thru but I found everything I love in a read in the pages of this series!
So, the preface of a sex addict and a love addict already had trouble written all over it! Doesnt matter because this has a sexy sweet Brit and a sassy hot lady! Tyler Stone is, well, kinda perfection. He says what he wants and takes what he needs. Good thing for him, that Olivia can give 100% of what he needs!
Now if I could complain, I could see this read to be quite taxing for many. It is a lot of "I want you but I'll hurt" you type moments. It is a lot of running and returning. But for me...I appreciated it. I loved the coming back and getting it out of the system the only way they could...hard against the wall! I also loved the constant cheeky banter and British lingo! I could have read 1000 pages of Tyler Stone trying to court Olivia Warren as the unnecessary drama made me edgy, the "not so relationship-relationship made me laugh, and the constant tension and heat made me so happy!
I have no idea where this could will end up but as long as it is together I will be happy!!!

This book was a bit boring, predictable and the characters lacked in depth, edge and was superficial.

Fire your editor
The story and plot were hot and smutty, which is great for you because the grammatical errors were frequent and downright distracting.

Closer to 3-1/2 stars. It's well written, but I had a hard time connecting with the characters. I guess I just don't quite "get" addiction, and while that's good for me, I think it was a barrier in truly understanding why the characters did what they did. Or, really, I was most confused by Liv. Push... pull... push... grab and hang on with arms and legs... push again... pull... I guess that was part of her addiction, but I just kinda didn't get it. Piss or get off the pot already! And I didn't get why Tyler could so nonchalantly say he had a sex addiction and be doing absolutely nothing about it. For that matter, neither really was Liv. Yet they had found each other and something compelling within each other that made them want to change.
I'm not really sure why this needed to be two books. In the first series (Late Call and Final Call), the bomb dropped at the end of book one was significant. I had to read book two to figure out how it was going to end in an HEA. The "bomb" at the end of this one felt a little like a dud. Maybe it was bad, but I kinda already suspected, and in comparison to the bomb in Late Call, it was really a dud. If I didn't already have #2, I'm not sure I would have continued, but the real bomb is halfway through #2, so I'm glad I did.
I dunno... this one just didn't grab me as much as the other series, I think because I couldn't relate to the characters. But I moved on...

Too discombobulated
Did not enjoy this book that I really had high hopes for. The writing is very choppy, does not flow smoothly,and I definitely never related to the heroine Olivia. The hero Tyler was a tad better but all in all very disappointing. Even the steamy scenes were poorly written and the blurb talks about a British hero, the author needs to visit Great Britain. Plus I detest books written in two parts this first part left me stone cold I am not even going to get the conclusion. Having said all that don’t take my word for it read it yourself and make up your own mind. 2 Stars from me.

This is a good book. I hated giving it 3 stars because it is a good book.
The biggest problem is paragraphs repeat throughout the book. In addition the editing is non existent.
The second biggest is the premise -
Tyler is a sex addict
Liv is a love addict --really?!?!? A love addict--WTH is that. She falls in love and becomes addicted to that person...um...yeah...that's kind of how love works. You fall in love and want to spend time with the person. That's pretty much the definition OF love. So this book was stupid.
Liv is addicted to love, runs away from Tyler. Tyler fights for her, Liv gives in to & loves Tyler. End of story. So 3 stars

Very dramatic yet steamy
The constant push and pull of the character's internal conflicts are super annoying. Although I have enjoyed other books by this author, this one seems to be written at a junior level with a bit of porn. The cliffhanger is just awful! I will not be reading the next book in this series.

Boring! Found it a struggle to finished! But really disappointed with the storyline. Felt more inclined to read about Day & Aaron. A terrible spinoff series with no decent storyline.
August 25, 2014
It was only supposed to be one night…no names…no strings – just sex, and even though the sex was out of this world fantastic, Liv has her rules for a reason. She knows her limits and her boundaries, and she refuses to go against them despite the fact that their night together has been on repeat in her mind ever since.
But Fate has another agenda…and this time, Mr. TDH, Tyler Stone, the Orgasm Catcher himself, is going to make it a lot harder for Liv to run away this time, even if it means letting her in on a level that he’s never wanted before with anyone.
His plan – no strings EXCLUSIVE sex, and if they happen to spend time outside the bedroom, that works as well, especially since they are maid of honor and best man for Tyler’s cousin, Aaron, and Liv’s best friend, Dayton.
Both Liv and Tyler have addictive personalities – hers is love and his is sex – one dealing with emotions and the other one with the physical act. Liv guards her heart with sex, never sleeping with the same person more than once. By avoiding any type of intimacy with her bedmates, she’s able to suppress her addiction, staying far away from craving or needing anyone – until Tyler. Tyler is pure temptation for Liv, and he easily breaks down her walls and makes her want all of him – something that could lead to her downfall. But Tyler refuses to let Liv’s stubbornness stand in his way, and his persistence pays off because at the end of book 1, Liv admits her true feelings for him, willingly giving them a chance at a relationship. Heading into, book 2, Wild Addiction, Tyler finally has Liv where he wants her, but it will be interesting to see if he can keep her there after his revelation and the fears that still tempt Liv to run.
Wild Temptation is a highly addictive read that will have readers craving more of Tyler’s filthy mouth and Liv’s sassy attitude. Tyler and Liv challenge each other and make one another yearn for something they haven’t wanted in a long time. These two heat up the sheets and the pages of the book with the passion and steam they exude in the bedroom. Their relationship started off as a one night stand, but it turns into something else as the story progresses; still, though, sex dominates their connection, and that idea makes perfect sense. Both use sex as a way to cope with their addictions, so as they go from no strings to strings, their physical relationship is going to be how they work their feelings out for one another and sometimes hide how they feel. It will be interesting to see how much sex controls their relationship in book 2.
Everything about Liv and Tyler’s story makes it a must read. The storyline is intriguing and entertaining and the characters are multi-faceted, allowing readers to truly understand what makes them who they are. And for those readers who missed Aaron and Dayton from the Call series, they will be able to see how they’re doing and what they think about Liv and Tyler’s relationship.
I can’t wait for Wild Addiction!

I loved the Call series, so was excited to get into this spinoff, especially when it involves the moody, mysterious Tyler Stone.
We've already had a peek of Tyler and his tomcat ways, and we had also met Olivia 'Liv' Warren, being Dayton's best pal and imminent Chief bridesmaid.
Liv avoids relationships, intimacy that suggests strings..strings of the heart. She's been severely scalded, meaning she's aware of the signs. Don't revisit; that's her MO.
But she keeps meeting this man, Mr TDH, and struggles with what fate has thrown at her.
"Fate's a bitch. Truly, she is. I bet she's sitting with a glass of wine, watching me keep to the confines of the relationship I've set myself."
Tyler has become transfixed with this feisty bitch, he can't get enough of her. Is she just another addiction, or do his feelings run deeper?
Faced with their opposing addictions, Liv struggles with her carefully constructed lines Tyler is blurring. He satisfies a need in her that no one has before.
I enjoyed this installment in Tyler and Liv's story. Liv is an independent, stubborn, impulsive good time girl. Her attraction to Tyler's dirty mind and mouth is completely understandable and is unequivocally envied!
Catching up with Dayton and Aaron was always going to be a pleasant distraction..waiting until October for Wild Addiction, is not.
I don't normally comment on editing, because it doesn't affect my reading experience, but there were a few cases of sentence and paragraph duplication, which did cause a momentary stutter to my flow. Just so you can kick someone's arse :-D

I read the prequel and my interest was peaked, so I didn't hesitate going right into Wild Temptation, but this book quickly fell for me. I skimmed so much of it just to finish. So I'll explain. I am all for bad boy type books....I seriously love them! But Tyler was anything but a "bad boy or a sex addict". He was actually kinda perfect - he is very much into Liv immediately, there's never any mention of other women and he's anything but bad chasing her around all the time. Instead, the bad boy and sex addict talk stop and changes -- now he's just a guy that likes rough sex. So why not just have it that way the entire book instead of talking about being a "bad boy" and "sex addict." As for Liv....the "love addiction" part of the story for Liv always kinda bugged me....I didn't really think it could be a good story line but I thought I'd give it a chance. Liv was absolutely annoying. She had one issue when she was younger...one! That is the reason she is the way she is. She spends the entire book freaking out and pushing Tyler away and then when she finally explains herself to Tyler and wants to know about him --- she just wants to know normal stuff! (favorite color, food, sports team, etc.) It just didn't click for me. I won't be reading anymore of this series because I got the first two books (0.5 and 1) on sale and I'm just not up to paying full price for the next book because I just don't care enough about Tyler or Liv to see what happens.

Okay, so now I know who Mr. Tall, Dark & Handsome and Oh So British is... Tyler Stone. Liv is not the most decisive woman and that got annoying. She is actually pretty rude & nasty to Tyler but he keeps chasing her hard. Guess some guys don't learn. He's a sex addict and only does one night stands until for some reason Liv catches his attention. She's a model so maybe that's the draw. Their paths cross again and their sexual connection is undeniable. Liv's story is interesting, she fell in love hard once when she was young and became very destructive when the relationship fell apart. She's been told that she's a love addict. I wasn't sure what that was, but I think it's supposed to pit her against his sex addiction. We have a sex addict & a love addict who have real chemistry in the bedroom and outside of the bedroom? They're meant for one another. Tyler's sexual addiction isn't really developed into the story since he is addicted to Liv at the moment, but once upon a time his addiction ruined his career so I'm sure we'll find out more about this in another book. I'm not sure I'm hooked enough to these characters to keep up with them.

****************************CONTAINS SPOILERS**********************************
I was so damn pleased with the ending like I thought Emma would leave us hanging like she did for Aaron and Day but she didn't, what she did was bring up a problem that the couple will probably face in the next book. With the little taste that we got with Tyler in the novella I knew I would love him, hell I loved him in the 'Call' series, but he was just more dirtier and sexier, "we're not. I'm pi**ed at you, but talking isn't required for sex. That happens with after-sex cuddles. The talking s*** can happen after I've effed you senseless." Tyler's sense of humor is something I enjoyed right when we were introduced to him so I loved seeing it come out more in this book, "no creepier than me standing outside your apartment, banging your door down to talk to you. Your downstairs neighbor? She's evil." I'm looking forward to seeing what these two are up against in the next book.

Four Wild Temptation stars!!
One love addict + one sex addict = whole lotta fucked up!
I'm loving this series so far I mean whats not to love you have a feisty bitch and a sexy british bastard :) ... I loved the chemistry between Tyler and Liv it was EXPLOSIVE! Really fucking hot you have a dirty taker and a lady who willing will submit in the bedroom not because she is was asked to but because deep down she enjoys it and craves it... Now if you haven't picked it up yet both MC's have an addiction, it was interesting and amusing to read how they work around it because I'll tell you it was like a giant roller-coaster which I loved!!
Overall I enjoyed Wild Temptation and can not wait to read the next instalment of the series because that was one hell of an ending (Tyler you naughty boy ;) how could you?)

What a freaking long wait for the next book. (sighs dramatically) Ok about the book..really liked it. If you read the prequel you would know that the steam levels are off the charts hot. However, with the playful, witty, easy, outspoken banter between the characters specifically between Olivia and Tyler they are dealing with some serious issues that make the formulating of a relationship extremely hard as much as it will be for them to stay in one. Am so looking forward to see what Emma has in store for us in the next book. Waiting is the worst part when you get caught up in a story but I know it will be worth it.

Under a dollar for all 3 books in the series...please don't suck...please don't suck...
This read is boring as fuck and their "addictions" are a joke. Liv is a whiner...since when is wanting to know someone an addiction? And nothing about Tyler points to sex addict...he's just a hot, rich 26 year old with a boat load of testosterone pushing that sex drive. This read as flighty and juvenile. 2 stars for some spectacularly dirty sex scenes. But even though I have the entire series, I won't be reading more than this.

Before writing some sh*t, you MUST check what sex addiction means (or addiction in general). Stopped exactly where the hero is "explaining" his addiction. Me: LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL.

Bummer. Loved the prequel and enjoyed the steaminess in this one, but the h's "love addiction" issues/fears (ummmmmm.... what?) turned ridiculous, repetitive, super annoying and ruined things for me. Won't be reading the next one. :-(

So excited!! Tyler

Can't wait to find out more, with that cliffhanger well?? Great read highly recommended
