Well, I bought this one because I listened to a workshop this author gave with Julie James. I'm soooo glad I gave her a try. For me, it was well worth the higher ticket price as well. Beautifully written and smokin' hot scenes between Rill and Katie.
In fact, I was reading this beside my brother on the train and got a little uncomfortable. I was expecting the story to be sexy, but truly didn't think it would make my damn face flame off.

Rill’s wife died 2 years ago and since then he’s been holed up in Vulture’s Canyon, Illinois. He’s been drinking himself silly and generally being a hermit while he deals with his own thoughts.
Katie Hughes shows up in Vulture’s Canyon for many different reasons – the main one to try and “help” or “save” Rill from this black hole he’s in. She’s also trying to find a bit of herself as the life she’s living isn’t one that’s making her happy. Besides that – she’s been in love with Rill for More...

Addicted to You by Bethany Kane is one of those titles that I stumbled upon quite accidentally whilst hopping through Twitter. Upon seeing the cover I was tempted and seeing the "friends-to-lovers" tag scream at me, I was sold and within minutes I pushed everything else aside and loaded up with this delectable piece of erotic contemporary romance, I let myself be swept away on the heady journey filled with all sorts of body tingling moments towards Rill and Katie's happily ever after.

Let me first start off by saying I LOVED Addicted to You! From the opening pages, I was hooked. The descriptions are wonderfully vivid, the characters are brilliant and brought to life through flawless dialogue, there’s an abundance of humour, a heaping helping of erotica, and a heart-warming, impossibly addictive love story at its root.

3 ½ stars. Slightly above average for story. Good for lots of hot sex.

If you love sexually intense heroes (and I definitely do), you're going to love this book. Rill is full of self loathing and in other books I've read that tended to get tiresome after a while, but in 'Addicted To You', it fits and his reasoning is explained sufficiently. His deep depression is justified too, and I applauded Katie for not giving up even when he repeatedly pushed her away. At the same time, she wasn't spineless, which I appreciate in a heroine. The characters were likeable and int

Came as something of a disappointment to me, just because I saw this hyped. The external conflict was flimsy, though that's not why we read Bethany Kane (aka Beth Kery). It's mostly about the emotional relationship and sexual journey, which in this case dragged. Maybe it's because I've read too many of her books, but I liked the hero and sex scenes in Explosive and some of the other books better.

Katie Hughes has always been in love with Rill Pierce, her brother's best friend. She never acted on her attraction, since Rill fell in love with and was married to Katie's best friend. That best friend died in a car crash.

A rich, sexy Irishman who’s tortured by his deceased wife’s betrayal, hiding himself away to drink every day into oblivion, who wouldn’t want to be the one to bring him out of his misery, especially finding out the man is triple sizzling hot in bed? Yeah, you can bet that’s exactly what our heroine does, even though there’s no guarantee her efforts will garner her what she wants and needs from him.

As Katie Hughes drives her black Maserati GranTurismo into Vulture’s Canyon, a small town in Illinois, she feels as if she has entered a time warp back to the 1800’s due to the aged appearance of the buildings and the general feel of the main street. Katie has left a high profile job and affluent lifestyle in Beverley Hills and traveled half way across the country on a mission. She is determined to save her brother Everett’s best friend, Rill Pierce, a man who Katie has secretly loved since she

This is a tough one for me to review, there are parts of the book that I really liked. But there was one glaring part that made me mark down this book by one star and that would be Rill, he was such a bastard and couldn't win me over. It seemed like the whole book he was wallowing in self pity and playing the whole woe is me game. He couldn't seem to accept himself, who he perceived he was, and where he came from.

short-ish story. great sex. good-ish characters. sort of lame-o back story (the whole thing with his dead wife. been done so many times).
one thing: the book literally opens with a sex scene. wherein the hero is completely wasted. its not attractive (though it is hot) and totally turned me off, thinking this was just plain ol' erotica. which has its place, but not if you were expecting SOME romance. i think the author made an error here, because the story actually HAS a story if you k More...

With characters that have great chemistry and pull you in from the first, Addicted to You has a contemporary voice, plenty of angst and strong story line.
The magic of this book happens on many fronts. First, Ms. Kane is a great story teller. Her ability to write both prose and dialogue that immediately capture the essence of an angst ridden drunken Irish film maker, a hopeful woman in love, the sleepy mining town of Vulture's Canyon as well as the characters who live there is quite re More...

I'm a pretty big fan of Beth Kery/Bethany Kane's writing, and I've been eager to see if she could top (or equal) my favorite book of hers, Daring Time. With Addicted To You she comes close, but I'm afraid I had too many issues with the hero and he didn't totally win me over until late in the book for me to rank this one as a favorite.

Something about those Irish heroes – they get me every time! :) Addicted To You’s Rill is no exception. This is a friends-to-lovers erotic romance set in a backwoods town, Vulture’s Canyon. Rill is a talented film writer and director who has abandoned his life. He’s been living in isolation in a secluded cabin, depressed and heavily liquored up, ever since his wife’s sudden death. He’s no longer writing and he’s unwilling to interact with the community, save a few meals and store visits to r

Smokin Hot!! My first read from Beth Kerry/ Bethany Kane and now I will be reading lots more!! I loved this book! I was so absorbed I couldn't put it down. I did not want it to end. Am I ever glad I chose this book. She writes with such passion and feeling. The characters in this story were real. There are tons of sex scenes...it starts right off the start! Wow I was red in the face reading this book! Awesome read! Go buy this book!!

I found and started this book because I wanted to read something with the reunited lovers or unrequited love type of theme. Particularly I wanted a childhood crush that is realized in adulthood, and that is sort of what happens here.
This book didn't go where I thought it would and it didn't have the tone I was looking for. This story is darker but a little deeper than I expected.

I liked the characters and sort of the plot. This tries to be erotica, but falls way short. The sex scenes are all over the place, and vary from almost vanilla, to light bondage, to anal sex.

Typically I don't read erotic romance, as it's usually weighted in favour of the sexfest. Addicted to You is a sexfest and that's to be expected. But what elevates this one above the usual e-rom is the presence of a plot. It's well-written with a good story. The main characters likable and characterisations quite in-depth.

I will definitely be watching for more Bathany Kane novels. This is the best erotic romance I have read in years, and that is saying something! Rill is so appealing on so many levels, and the fact that they have been friends for so long, and must work through that issue in addition to Rill's personal issues about his own sexuality made this a fascinating story.
