Addicted: A Falcon Pointe Novel
Whitney
I’ve always lived for the rush - the thrill of the unknown, the freedom to chase whatever adventure comes next. But when my reckless life caught up with me, I found myself in Falcon Pointe, standing face-to-face with my estranged brother and the demons I’ve spent years running from. What I didn’t expect was Grady.
Grady’s my brother’s best friend - quiet, steady, and the complete opposite of everything I am. He’s a man who doesn’t take risks, who plays it safe. So when he’s forced to babysit me, I can’t help but feel the pull. His calmness, his kindness, the way he listens… It’s like I’m finally able to breathe. But the more I get to know him, the harder it is to keep my distance. I can’t stop wanting him. I’ve always kept people at arm’s length, but Grady... he makes me want to lean in.
Grady
I like my life predictable. Quiet. Safe. So when Jackson’s little sister shows up in town, I’m stuck with her. She’s trouble. Wild, fearless, and a million miles from my comfort zone. But the more I’m around her, the more I realize there’s something about Whitney that pulls me in.
She’s everything I’m not. She’s chaos where I’m calm. She’s fiery, and I’m... well, I’m not. But I can’t seem to help myself. Every time I try to push her away, she gets under my skin, and before I know it, I’m doing things I never thought I would. I’m starting to feel something I didn’t expect, something I’m not sure I know how to handle. The worst part? I’m falling for her, and that’s the last thing I need.

Oh. My. Gosh. Addicted: A Falcon Pointe Novel completely wrecked me in the best way. This book has ALL the feels, pain, heartbreak, healing, and that kind of connection between characters that just makes you melt.
What grabbed me was the way the FMC and MMC carried their scars and STILL found hope, love, and each other. The FMC? Absolute queen. She’s strong, real, and makes choices that aren’t always easy but feel so honest. And the MMC… ugh, my heart. These two were perfection together, damaged but somehow whole when they’re with each other.
Jennifer Harrison’s writing? Stunning. Every sentence had me hooked, and by the time I hit the ending, I was crying, smiling, and fangirling all at once. This story isn’t just about romance, it’s about courage, choosing yourself, and finding light after the darkest nights.
I loved every single page and will 100% be screaming about this book to anyone who’ll listen. Thanks to Hayling Bookstorm for the gifted arc.

This was an ARC read that did not disappoint! If you can push through the tough triggering bits it is well worth it and Jennifer doesn’t harp on them enough to make the whole book difficult to read but just the right amount to make an impact. Just smutty enough without going overboard and there female characters growth throughout just warmed my heart.

Started slow, then BAM—Jennifer Harrison said plot twist and pain incoming! 💥
This isn’t your basic romance. It’s raw, it’s real, and it dives deep into the broken foster care system—showing the trauma, instability, and heartbreak so many face. Whitney’s journey hit hard.
Eric? Not a sweet guy, but symbolic. Their ending? Gut punch. Grady? Messed up, but loves her like she’s his salvation—and THAT is beautiful. No toxicity, no “love = sex,” just pure devotion. 🖤
Read this book. Feel it. Live it.
(And Marco? F*ck you.)
Jennifer, drop that song RIGHT NOW. 🥺🎶

This was heavy so please check those trigger warnings. This was a sloooow burn but it is worth the ache. I am going to be honest, I didn’t like Whitney in the beginning. As her story unfolded, I began to understand her more and grew to respect her choices and immaturity at times. This story hits some trama spots and it shows people who grow together and mature as well. Truly happy to have read this and will happily get a hard copy for my shelves 🥰

Oh lord! This book truly kept me at the edge of my seat !! The amount of emotions I went through while reading this book, I just couldn’t stop reading it. First of all, this book does have a trigger warning at the beginning of the book bc it does deal with very mature themes. It’s always recommended to read the trigger warning list bc you never know what can trigger you accidentally.
This is the story of Whitney, who had been in the foster system after her parents tragically died in an accident. She has an older brother, who she was separated from and grew apart from each other. She had a really rough life growing up and always tried to think of a happy memory to forget what was going on in the moment. When she was strong enough to leave, she ran away with her bf Eric and never looked back. Since then, her life continued to be tough. Despite being freed from her abusive foster parents, she had to deal with her bf’s problems. She ends up in the hospital and reunites with her brother and his best friend Grady.
Grady is also a misunderstood person who had a rough time growing up. He was lucky enough to end up in a foster home where he was truly loved and met Jackson, Whitney’s brother. Since then, they have been inseparable and started a business together. After Jackson gets the call from the hospital in regard to what happened to Whitney, he brings her back to their apartment and leaves her in the care of Grady.
This story is truly so awe inspiring bc you follow along both Whitney and Grady’s journey to healing themselves. As well as realizing what they are actually worth and possibly falling in love with one another 🤭

This book got under my skin in the best way. Whitney and Grady’s story isn’t fluffy or easy — it’s heavy, emotional, and at times really hard to read. Both of them come from broken places, with scars from the foster system and the kind of pasts that don’t just go away when you grow up. That part made this story feel so real to me. These aren’t perfect characters. They’re messy, they make mistakes, and they’ve both been through enough that falling in love shouldn’t even be on the table. And yet… it happens anyway.
Whitney is wild and reckless, constantly running from everything that hurts, and honestly? I didn’t know if I was going to like her at first. But then you start to see the layers — how much of that recklessness is really just survival, her way of coping with everything she’s lost. And then there’s Grady. Steady, quiet, safe. He’s the complete opposite of her, and that’s what made me love them together. The way he sees her when no one else does, the way he grounds her without ever trying to change her — it got me.
I won’t lie, in real life two people this damaged might be a disaster. But that’s what made this story so addictive. You watch them lean into each other when they’ve both spent their whole lives pushing people away. You watch them start to heal, not because love magically fixes everything, but because they finally let themselves be seen. It’s raw, it’s gritty, it’s painful at times, but it’s also full of hope.
Jennifer Harrison really captured what it feels like to carry trauma and still try to build a life around it. I loved this book. It broke my heart and put it back together in a way that only the best romances do.

Thank you so much Jennifer Harrison for sending me your book for an ARC review and allowing me to be apart of your team!
I must provide a warning for mature themes, including sexual assault, abuse, and close proximity.
This book shook me to my core. Overcoming addiction is a challenging task, and having family members who experienced similar struggles allowed me to appreciate the intense emotional, psychological, and mental difficulties they faced.
The experiences they endured are unimaginable to me, but supporting individuals affected by their own or someone else's addiction takes a toll not only on the individual but also on their family members and loved ones.
The trauma inflicted upon Whitney and Jackson by their biological and foster families was atrocious. Grady's abuse by his adopted family and within the foster system, with its inadequate screening practices as depicted in this book, is completely unacceptable.
The love and acceptance between the siblings, Whitney and Jackson, and the couples, Whitney and Eric, and Whitney and Grady, are inspiring. The trauma and individual journeys these characters had to endure to reach the other side are miraculous.
Jennifer's selection of the perfect soundtrack for specific characters' moments is exceptional.
Thank you, Jennifer, for including the services available to trauma-affected survivors at the end of the book.

Rating: 4.2/5
I thoroughly enjoyed reading it. Loved the story from starting till the very end.
The FMC was incredibly kind and strong.despite going through a lot, she always tried to focus on the good in others.
I don’t want to say too much (no spoilers) but I think you guys should read it.
What I will say is the FMC is one of the most honest people I’ve come across in a book. She made some honorable choices, even when it didn’t necessarily bring her happiness.
The ending was satisfying and well-deserved, with no unnecessary grudges against any character. Every characters was lovable. (Can’t wait to read the whole story of Jackson in next book)
I must mention how beautifully every single word was written throughout the book. I mean, I truly enjoyed every sentence.
The book has many good lessons for us most importantly I feel sometimes we stay in toxic relationships because we don’t know how to leave or because it’s easier to stay and suffer. Leaving takes a lot of courage. We all need that courage. We all need to know how & when to leave.
This book reminded me that we often don’t know what others have gone through in life and we tend to judge them without understanding their struggles.
We should strive to be kinder to others, as sometimes a simple kind smile can brighten someone’s day.
So, Yes let’s try to stay positive in every situation and be kind to one another.

There aren’t enough words in the dictionary to express how much I ABSOLUTELY LOVE Addicted. Whitney’s and Theo’s story is absolutely heartbreaking, more so that their story is unfortunately the story of so many foster kids.
The way Theo and Whitney healed not only themselves, but each other is so amazing. I loved how they were there for each other, without pushing boundaries too much. Although I really hated that both Whitney and Theo couldn’t just let go of Eric and Emily, I understood their reasons.
The character development was amazing all around especially Eric’s !! I really didn’t like Eric AT ALL when I found out what Whit was doing because of him and his horrible habit. My heart really broke for him. Not going to lie, I cried when Whit was talking about the light and happiness gone from his eyes. I loved that even though he loves Whit, he loves her enough to let her go.
“Ever since we were kids, I wanted to give you the world, but I don’t have a world left to give. Not anymore. And you should be free.. You deserve a life that doesn’t come with warnings and escape routes. I want that for you. More than anything.”
I really appreciate how well Jennifer Harrison represented and touched up on sensitive topics that definitely should be talked about more.

The collective trauma in this book was heart-wrenching, but the mutual care and empathy between the main characters softened the blows.
Whitney and Grady had more in common from their foster care days than I think either of them realized by the end of the book. It's not just that they could relate to each other, but they needed each other. What one of them was missing in their life, the other could provide. Whitney never had a caring parental figure in her foster days, but Grady did, and he brought her into their family. Grady never felt confident or comfortable enough to be himself in front of others, but Whitney did, and she taught him the way.
This is a beautiful story about discovering and embracing your identity and complementing it with a partner who brings out the best in you.

Wow, this book had me addicted, no pun intended. My emotions were all over the place while reading and I just wanted Whitney and Grady to have their happily ever after as soon as possible, they both deserved it so much. Both characters had their own journeys that they needed to go on but they helped each other tremendously and it worked out so beautifully. I loved their dynamic and how the book slowly showed how deep their trauma was and why the way they were. Wish I could reread it for the first time honestly. The song killed me 😭😭

Jennifer Harrison got me again, and I’m shouting from the rooftops about this book.
I really like the way Whitney and Grady approach each other's past without judgment. They understand what the other has been hurt by, and give them space to just exist. I also enjoyed watching each of them accidentally let the other into their heart. Like, oops, you’re a vital part of my life now.
The balance of strength and weakness each character shows is refreshing. They’re so raw and real.
I don’t know why Jennifer insists that each book have multiple points with me sobbing in the middle of my living room, but here we are, and I love it. She’s so good at writing heartbreak.

Foster care can be a scary place for a child, it’s new and unknown. Addicted showed how scary it can truly be, even biological parents can be cruel. The FMC AND MMC were put through so much pain and heartache that only they could see each other and understood the damaged past to make a better future. I’m at awe with how Jennifer portrayed the characters.

Addicted was so raw and emotional. I was addicted!
Whitney and Grady both had more than their fair share of trauma, but it seems they are drawn to each other. Can they work through their traumas together?

This book dives deep into topics that may be uncomfortable, but overall are told in a way that opens your eyes to look around you to see what you’re missing.
The way the two main characters complete each other while being so broken is truly beautiful.
Whitney has been through a lot, and Grady has too. It’s just beautiful to watch this unfold.
