Karen, I have a question. I really want to read the Like Us Series, because I read M/M Romance, but I only read book 1 of the addicted series. I never continued. Do you think I would enjoy the Like Us series as much if I didn't read the whole addicted series?

Grip is so good! Make sure to read the free novella first. I think it's Flow.

[Karen]

Chris - You can read without reading the addicted series. I don't know if you will appreciate the cameos that the other characters make, but you would still enjoy the story.
