Addicted to You is a story that is just that- addictive. I can’t imagine finishing this book and not needing to dive right into the next. I can’t believe that I’ve waited this long to read this series, but I’m kind of glad I did. I can binge read them all now. :D
Lily and Lo are childhood friends and a couple as far as everyone knows. In reality, they’re both addicts. Lo is an alcoholic and Lily is a sex addict. They both come from rich, affluential families and if their families ever ...more

WOW!!! I have found a new favorite series!!!
I swear it was like this book was written for me. It had all the elements I love in a story -- great writing, deeply flawed but lovable characters and an emotional intensity that kept drawing me further and further in.
I'm totally addicted ;)
The story is about Lily and Lo. They're childhood friends who have grown up together but they each have an addiction -- she's addicted to sex, he's addicted to booze -- and if their very wealthy and controlling ...more
Well, this was certainly different! I've had this book sitting on my shelf for a long time. Finally, I got a chance to listen to it. I'm not quite sure what I expected, but this wasn't it. That isn't necessarily bad though. I'm still trying to wrap my head around this story.
First off, let me just say that both of the main characters are completely screwed up! Lily is a sex addict, sleeping her way through her early-twenties like there's no tomorrow. Meanwhile, Loren, aka "Lo", is drinking like a ...more

Finally reading this series...its sister series The Calloway Sisters is one of my ALL time favorite series. Seriously I ADORE it and all the characters hold a special place in my heart.
Crazy that I read this so very out of order.

Train wreck.

"He’s my drug that I gladly consume, and I think that’s what he fears most. He enables my addiction. Always has. And the longer we’re together, he always will.”
I LOVED THIS BOOK. I loved the characters, the writing, the storyline, how DIFFERENT it was from any other story I have read. It was emotional, heart breaking but refreshing, sometimes comical, full of drama, and also intense.

My God, I’m addicted this book!!! I loved it so much… :)
This is a love story but not kind of hearts & flowers type… Lily Calloway is addicted to sex, Loren Hale is an alcoholic. Very bad combination I know but on the other hand, they can be very good for each other because no matter what happen, they understand each others weakness… Of course not always everything seems fine but still they're trying to be there when other person needs help...

Since I'm on my phone, I'll just share my thoughts really quick.
There's no doubt I will be reading the next books in the series but I don't know what to expect. It's safe to say I didn't like this book and I wasn't enjoying it until Connor showed up.
I understand what the author was trying to do and I admire how constant and somehow realistic her characters were. Like how Lily's addiction was delivered and her in between thoughts; I could feel her desperation and that was pretty cool ...more

Addicted to You is a novel that was recommended to me back in the day when NA was HUGE.
It's free on Kindle, so I download it immediately, but then as I started to explore the genre I decided it was not for me, so this romance stayed on hold for years.
At the beginning of this year I found myself in the mood to pick it up, so I did.
Since the main protagonist is addicted to sex, and the main male character to alcohol, I expected lots of graphic scenes and steamy moments, but instead, to my pleasant ...more

We're terrible at so many things, but the only thing we've always been halfway decent at is being together.
A New Adult book at its finest! So many feels!
To my fabulous friend Scarlett who heartily recommended this book and this series to me, I owe you one, girl! A big thank you! (Check out her beautiful review on this book :)

I didn't initially review this book but I am currently now on book 3 and I am becoming "addicted" to this series. And damn, if those books don't deserve a review than I don't know what does.
I didn't love this one but I liked it. I was a little sceptical after finishing it but I am so glad I continued with the series because it's just getting better and better. And if you are too on the fence whether to continue, please do, I promise you won't regret.

I tried to read this book as if I didn’t know what happens next, I really did and while Lily and Lo weren’t good for each other now their love is something pure and magical. I’m in love with their love.

This is not your traditional "lovey dovey" romance book. This story is about a couple who battle with addiction in their daily lives. It is dark,raw,unsettling,ugly; but most importantly it is honest and very realistic. Addiction is not pretty, nor is it fun. Lily and Loren have grown up together, and from a very young age they have learned to enable one another and share each others secrets. This is their story, and it is unlike anything I have ever read before. I applaud the author for writing ...more
