VALENTINE SPECIAL: Addicted Series + Book Quotes Part 1

Happy Vday Bookaholics!!!!!!!!!

I have a special treat for all of you today! Have you come across with a book quote and you immediately think of a book where that quote applies? That happened to me a lot of times and that's where I got this inspiration to do some book graphics based on my all time favorite Addicted series by the twin duo Krista and Becca Ritchie.

I would like to make special mention some friends of mine (and fellow admins at the Fizzle Force FB group) who helped me with this project. Thanks so much to Jenn, Jae and Siiri and Haul Fairy, my fellow blogger here at Musings of the Book-a-holic Fairies, Inc., for all the beautiful and amazing pics. This endeavor materialized because of their awesome photography skills (in which I seriously lack).

Please feel free to share these graphics in any social media. You don't have to ask for permission (teehee!). I would love for these graphics to go viral! I've also made a Tumblr post and you can reblog them all you want. I've also pinned these graphics on my All Things KBRitchie Pinterest board and you can pin those all you want too.

This is just the first set of graphics. There'll be more to come as there are more quotes that I like to make edits. Stay tuned!

So without much further ado, enjoy these edits I created just for the Addicted series! - Mauve Fairy

Protect your family. At all costs.

KISS THE SKY by Krista and Becca Ritchie: A Book Review by Mauve Fairy

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.

♕♛♕ BIRTHDAY BASH: RICHARD CONNOR COBALT FROM THE ADDICTED SERIES BY KRISTA AND BECCA RITCHIE ♕♛♕

Joyeux anniversaire Connor!! Passez une merveilleuse journée! Je te aime!!!

Umm no I don't speak French, and I don't know the language. I think it's just fitting to greet Connor a Happy Birthday in French since it's his thing ya know. The internet is a marvelous place to search for the things you need. I hope no French people will get mad at me if there's an error or mistake in my greetings. I don't mean to butcher the language of love!

January 3 is a special day for the Fizzle Force fandom most especially to Coballoway fans *cough like Siiri *cough because this day marks the special day of one of our beloved Addicted character, Richard Connor Cobalt. It's his 26th birthday!! YEYYYY! *fires a canon and lights all the fireworks.

I don't remember him celebrating his birthday in the books. He doesn't want to celebrate his birthday (though I am sure Rose will have something planned). So I personally collaborated with Siiri from Little Pieces of Imagination blog (Connor's biggest fan) to surprise Connor on his birthday. She came up with this treasure hunt idea and I think Connor would love this. Well, we all know he's a genius so he would love something that will involve brains. (This better be on the hard level Siiri!! I can already see Connor saying " Easy peasy like eating pie and peanuts"!!!). 

So enjoy the treasure hunt!! And enjoy this surprise we have for Connor!

If you're a member of Krista and Becca's Fizzle Force on Facebook, you will have a little easier time with solving the equation for treasure hunt :). Look for the graphic that Jenn (one of the admins of the group) will post with a number on it and you're good to go. Non-members, you can either join the group or solve the equation that Siiri posted in her blog. 

TREASURE HUNT AND GIVEAWAY

RULES

Participating in the treasure hunt is not necessary to take part in the giveaway, but getting the right answer can get you extra 25 entries in the giveaway, which will be huge compared to the rest of the people who may just follow one or two people and comment on a few blogs, and increase your chances of winning something. The game is fairly easy, but a little time-consuming and needs your full attention. Here’s how it all works:

1. Every letter (A, B, C, …, J) stands for a specific blog.
2. The letter “K” is a different matter: if you’re a part of the Addicted Series Facebook Fanpage, you don’t have to calculate the letter K’s value, but if you’re not, here’s a small equation for you: (100-64) : 6
3. You will have to find the quote next to a specific letter from a blog. Some of these quotes appear on multiple blogs, but you need to pick out the right one for the right letter. To make it easier, some of the quotes are easily identifiable and you’ll know that if two (or more) blogs have the same quote(s), one of them has to have another sentence too (and that sentence appears on only that blog), so with some thinking, you should be able to figure out which letter goes with which blog.
4. If you have matched the letters to all the blogs, match every letter to a specific number that’s on the blog which the letter represents. Here’s an example: Q: “Connor is a magical unicorn even if he doesn’t admit it. He’s one of a kind!” appears on a blog *insert name* and that blog post has number 8 featured somewhere. Now you know that letter Q correlates to number 8. We would advise you to write all the info down and match the numbers to the letters on paper so that the final part would be easier for you. Beware that some of those numbers may appear on graphics, so look out for them everywhere!
5. Now the final step: you have to solve the following equation A + B / C – D * E + F – G + H – I * J + K = L by substituting the letters with the numbers you found on the blogs you visited. After you have solved the equation, submit it to the raffle below and this can earn you 25 extra entries (unfortunately Raffle isn’t as cool as we’d all like, so you have to provide an answer in 5 different boxes to earn all your 25 entries). AND you can give yourself a big pat on the back for completing this treasure hunt! Connor would be proud :)

THE QUOTES THAT YOU’LL HAVE TO SEARCH FOR, TO MATCH ALL THE NUMBERS AND LETTERS FOR THE EQUATION ARE..

• A: “The way you stand up for and take care of the people you love speaks volumes of the kind of person you truly are.”
• B: “He is the king of my world, because he's the king to my queen, Rose Calloway.”
• C: “People hope to touch the sky. I dream of kissing it.”
• D: “What do you get a man who already have everything?”
• E: “Connor wears confidence like his most expensive suit, with style and dignity and so much charm.”
• F: “Hey birthday boy, the party is over here.”
• G: “His wicked charm will have you swooning for days.”
• H: “Connor is Siiri's fantasy boyfriend. No one else can have him.”
• I: “Je suis passionne de toi.”
• J: “Joyeux anniversaire Connor! Passez une merveilleuse journé!”
• K: if you’re a part of the Addicted Series Facebook Fanpage, you don’t have to calculate the letter K’s value, but if you’re not, here’s a small equation for you: (100-64) : 6
• L: SOLUTION TO THIS WHOLE EQUATION: A + B / C – D * E + F – G + H – I * J + K = L

GENERAL INFORMATION

Title: Addicted After All

Authors: Krista & Becca Ritchie

Series: Addicted #3

Pub Date: October 31st, 2014

Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18308270-addicted-after-all

Amazon: http://amzn.to/1pXMz3W

SUMMARY 

Two addicts. One epic love story. 

Prepare for the worst. 

That’s what Lily and Lo try to do when Jonathan Hale schedules an “important” meeting. The problem: after being swept into the public eye and battling their addictions, they’re not sure what the worst is anymore. 

In a sea of many changes—including Ryke & Daisy living with them—Lily realizes that the best part of her fluctuating hormones might just be the worst. 

Her sex drive is out of control. 

Loren knows that she’s insatiable, but he’s not giving up on her. She’s too much a part of him. And as he carries more and more responsibility, some of the people that he loves doubt his resolve. 

In the conclusion to their love story, Lily & Lo stand side-by-side to fight, one last time, for their happily ever after. 

**AUTHORS' NOTE**

Due to the 2-year gap between Addicted for Now (Addicted #2) and Addicted After All (Addicted #3), you must read Thrive (Addicted #2.5) or the Calloway Sisters spin-off series before reading Addicted After All.

❥❥❥ THRIVE BY KRISTA AND BECCA RITCHIE: A BOOK REVIEW BY MAUVE FAIRY ❥❥❥

Title: Thrive

Authors: Krista & Becca Ritchie

Series: Addicted #2.5

Pub Date: July 18^th, 2014

Goodreads │ AMAZON  │ B&N │ Kobo

SUMMARY

Two years will change them forever.

When rumors spread like wildfire—like having three-ways with her boyfriend’s rock climbing brother—Lily Calloway spirals into a dark place. Her bedroom. Loren Hale is more confident and determined to keep their sex life private, even from their friends, and he helps Lily in the only way he knows how. But how much love is too much?

Their lives are filmed, watched, and criticized. And through it all, Lily and Loren have to face enemies they never thought they’d see, demons they don’t know if they should bury, and setbacks they didn’t think they’d meet. Not this soon.

And one rumor could be too much for them to handle. It will test their greatest limitations, and if they don’t hold onto each other, someone is going to drown.

A full-length New Adult Romance that bridges the gap between the second and third books. Thrive must be read before Addicted After All if you have not read the Calloway Sisters spin-off

㋡ Birthday Bash for LILY CALLOWAY + Addicted Ebooks GIVEAWAY ㋡

It's August 1 and do you know what's so special about this day? You got it!! It's Lily Calloway's birthday!! I lovelovelovelovelove (channeling my inner Lily) her!! So much that it's really insane to be so fixated on a fictional character! 

Don't know who she is? Well, Lily is the main character in the hit Addicted series by the twin authors Krista & Becca Ritchie (KB for short, and as I fondly refer to them both). She's a deeply flawed character and you can't just help but feel protective with her whenever her insecurities and self doubts strike. What endears her to me is that she's so funny and silly most times. Her goofy antics never fail to make me laugh. Her inability to talk about sex, considering she's a recovering sex addict, makes her blurt out words that will elicit a sure giggle out of you. For more about Lily, just view the video below. And the author's dream cast for her is Ksenia Vasylchenko which I think is so perfect. She personifies and represents the character so well just as like in the books.

✩ ✩ ✩ BOOK REVIEW: HOTHOUSE FLOWER BY KRISTA AND BECCA RITCHIE ✩ ✩ ✩

Series: Calloway Sisters #2 (Spin-off of the Addicted series) 
Genre: New Adult, Romance
Publisher: K.B. Ritchie

Publication Date: March 28, 2014 

Rating: 5 Fairy Wings

Reviewer: The Mauve Fairy

Summary:

Ryke Meadows, meet Daisy Calloway...she's all grown up.

Twenty-five year old Ryke Meadows knows he's hard to love. With a billion dollar inheritance, a track star resume, and an alpha-male personality -- he redefines the term likable asshole. But he's not living to make friends. Or enemies. He just wants to free climb three of the toughest mountains in Yosemite without drama or interruption. And then he receives a distressed call from a girl in Paris -- a girl that he has never been allowed to have.

Daisy Calloway is eighteen. Finally. With her newfound independence, she can say goodbye to her overbearing mother and continue her modeling career. Next stop, Paris. Fashion week begins with a bang, and Daisy uncovers the ugly reality of the industry. She wants to prove to her family that she can live on her own, but when everything spirals out of control, she turns to Ryke to keep her secrets.

As Daisy struggles to make sense of this new world and her freedom, she pushes the limits and fearlessly rides the edge. Ryke knows there's deep hurt beneath every impulsive action. He must keep up with Daisy, and if he lets her go, her favorite motto -- "live as if you'll die today" -- may just come true.

New Adult Romance: recommended for readers 18+ for mature content

*Authors Note* Hothouse Flower is a spin-off of the Addicted series. Kiss the Sky is required before reading, and we strongly recommend reading the Addicted series before this spin-off. 

✩ ✩ ✩ HOTHOUSE FLOWER PROMO TOUR: CHARACTER INTERVIEW and 2 GIVEAWAYS ✩ ✩ ✩

Follow the Hothouse Flower Promo Tour 

Days before KB (Krista and Becca) announced that they’re going to do a blog tour, I PMed them in their FB page and asked if they’re amenable on doing a character interview. They readily agreed. After I emailed to them the questionnaires, that’s the time I saw their announcement. I am so glad and excited to be a part of this promo tour. 

The Addicted Series is one of my favorite series of all time. It’s on top of my list. And I feel as if I breathe the same air that these 6 main characters breathe, well if they’re real of course! I feel as if I know them really well: their pain, their elation, their dreams. But there are still some things that I would like to know and I’m sure you would to, hence this interview. I picked to interview the “Addicted” men because, well they’re all scorchingly H-O-T and I know a lot of ladies out there would like to know what’s going on in their heads. So read on and enjoy the fun! 

Plus there are two giveaways at the end of this post: one is from the authors and the other one is from the fairies. So be sure to join in order to win some great prizes. Goodluck!

Disclaimer: This character interview is not suitable for ages 17 and below. Please do not scroll down if you fall on this age group.
