SYNOPSIS
Virgin. Sex addict. Daredevil. Alcoholic. Smartass … Jackass. Her five friends are about to be filmed. Reality TV, be prepared.
Rose Calloway thought she had everything under control. At twenty-three, she’s a Princeton graduate, an Academic Bowl champion, a fashion designer and the daughter of a Fortune 500 mogul. But with a sex addict as a sister and roommate, nothing comes easy.
After accepting help from a producer, Rose agrees to have her life filmed for a reality television show. The Hollywood exec is her last chance to revive her struggling fashion line, and boundaries begin to blur as she’s forced to make nice with a man who always has his way.
Twenty-four-year-old Connor Cobalt is a guy who bulldozes weak men. He’s confident, smart-as-hell and lives with his equally ambitious girlfriend, Rose Calloway. Connor has to find a way to protect Rose without ruining the show. Or else the producer will get what Connor has always wanted—Rose’s virginity.
This New Adult Romance can be described as Friends meets The Real World. Expect fist fights, drugs, sex of varying degrees, crude humor and competitive alpha males. Definitely for mature readers audiences only.
MAUVE FAIRY'S REVIEW
"Get ready, darling. This may spin your head."
Oh
Connor, you sexy beast!! That sentence was so applicable on what I had
experienced in reading this I-didnt-expect-this-to-be-so-so-good book of yours! It literally spun my
head, with all the OMG-this-shit-isnt-happening-is-it? scenes, the flirty banters between you and Rose, the bickering and banters of
the gang, the whew-I-need-to-fan-myself/need-a-change-of-panties
scenes and so so much more!!!
OK, I AM the queen of procrastination but it’s better late than never right? Coz it took me a year and 2 months before I’m able to
write this review, that’s why!! Yes, I know, pathetic! But hey, I didn't say I
am perfect. It took me three re-reads and the release of its
most-anticipated sequel for me to finally gather my thoughts and
write these down on paper (well, in reality type this on computer LOL). I could
just ignore and shrug my shoulders and say “Why the hell do I care if I write
this review or not?” As a glorified Fizzle Force member and a loyal KB fan,
this is a mortal sin and a blasphemy!!
Richard Connor Cobalt is the narcissistic friend
of Lily and Lo who first appeared in Addicted to You, the first book in the
highly acclaimed Addicted Series. He was Lily’s tutor first in Econ and later
on, as Rose’s, Lily’s older sister, first boyfriend. He is just a side
character and was not meant to be explored. I am so, so happy that KB decided
to write a book about Connor and Rose because their story is one of a kind. LILO
(ship name of Lily and Lo) described him as asexual and he rarely shows his
emotions. He is super smart as in S-M-A-R-T. His confidence is his weapon. He
can diffuse a raging storm (aka explosive situations) and everyone calms down.
It doesn't hurt that he is super rich, as in his mother owns a multi-billion
dollar company that would someday be passed on to him. He is a graduate of an
Ivy League school, and has his own limo and chauffeur.
He wears
confidence like his most expensive suit, with style and dignity and so much
charm.
I can
calm the most restless soul if I choose to, and it’s not because I’m gifted
with some inane supernatural ability.
My power
is in my confidence.
It’s that
simple.
But in here, I've seen sides of Connor that was not seen before. He is not just a rich kid splurging his trust fund left and right. He has shown some depth and his character may not need some growth but his way of thinking and feelings about some things had definitely seen some “growth” and change when he became friends with Lo, Lily, Ryke and Daisy and been a part of a “family”. How he grew up with only his mother as a parent has a large part on how he is with the people he meets as explained in the earlier part of the book.
His bedroom preferences took me by surprise!! Hmmm a man who is a master in a bedroom but not truly a dominant?To say that he can light a fire
just by delivering his lines is an understatement. He just needs to speak in
French and my panties would melt! awwww all those French things he whispers to
Rose gahhhhhhh Plus, his bedroom tactics are not conventional which will leave
you panting and out of breath!
His lines OMG his lines!!!! One of the best lines I
tell you!! He never curses, he is always calm and will deliver his lines
without emotion but always with a punch. But the underlying feelings behind
those words most especially when he is speaking with Rose or bantering with Lo are
pure gold!!
People hope to touch the sky. I dream of
kissing it.
“Je suis passionné de toi,” I say. I am passionate about you.
“You’ll come before I fill every inch of you.”
“Twenty-four years smarter than you.”
“You’re not a pit stop. You’re my finish line. There’s no one after you.”
“I want you for eternity, not for a
brief moment in time.”
“Darling, if anyone is going to be tied
up,” I say, my hand descending towards her ass, “c’est toi.” It’s you.
“You and me,” he says and licks his
lips. “ We fuck like winners.”
Rose Calloway
is an intelligent woman who never cowers to anybody even her own mother. Though
she may be a bit intimidating and scary, she loves fiercely as displayed by her
concerns for her younger sisters. She is her own person. She curses when she
feels like it but is a fashionable lady in every sense of the word. She owns
her own company, a daughter of a soda mogul, also a graduate of an Ivy League
school on top of her class. And surprise surprise!! A virgin and not ashamed by
it!
Together,
Connor and Rose are an imposing couple. They are the leader and the strength of
their group. Everyone listens to them and goes to them when they need advice. Together,
they seem to defy the odds to be in their favor but sometimes, life has other
things on its mind. They are not susceptible to troubles and failures. But
together, their journey towards their happy ever after is astounding,
monumental, profound but beautiful and oh so so wonderful and exquisite.
Truly, this
book is one of the most delightful books to read. It has the right ingredients
fitting for a gourmet meal and you will be left satisfied and full and yet has
the need to devour once again. Friendships, sisterly love, bromances, and epic
love stories abounds. This is one of the best books in the series and though
this can be read first without reading the other addicted books, I would
strongly suggest that you read the others too. Awesomazing and fantabolously
written by the amazing twin duo, this series is justly revered and loved by its
followers and fans.
