Review tour: Addicted to You by Colina Brennan

Synopsis

When twenty-one-year-old Leah Carter’s latest one night stand burglarizes her apartment, her roommate forces her to attend therapy for sex addicts. Leah insists she isn’t a sex addict; she just doesn’t do relationships. After all, sooner or later, everyone lets you down.

At first, the group sessions are little more than an education on how to be promiscuous. Until she meets the newest addict—blue eyes, killer body, and a smile that tempts relapse.

Psychology student Will McLean is posing as a fellow addict while researching a case study on unusual addictions. But the more he learns about Leah, the more certain he is that his desire to break through her walls and unearth her secrets has nothing to do with his assignment.

As the uncertainties spike alongside the sexual tension, the only thing Leah knows for sure is that falling in love would be disastrous. Too bad love might be one addiction she can’t kick.

Opinion
This book is perfect to read in summertime. It’s hot and sweet at the same time.

I really liked Leah. She was so much deeper than I initially thought. Her upbringing wasn’t that easy even if her parents pretended that everything was okay. That’s what made Leah so reserved and grumpy. But like Will always says she’s a grumpy beauty even if she doesn’t know it. And Will is the only one, except from her housemate Helena and her little brother, that can get her to lough and to lighten up a bit. I just loved Will, he’s a good guy and how hard Leah makes it for him he never gives up on her. And he always tried to do the good thing even if it wasn’t always easy. I wished that we got to know more about Will’s background, but I’m already glad that some chapters were written in his point of view. Finn, Will’s friend, made sure of it that there were also hilarious scenes in this book and I hope to see more of him in the future ‘cause he’s a great guy.
The only thing that could have been better in this book was the ending. The whole book was slow paced, but not so slow that it got boring, and then suddenly it went so fast in the end. Nonetheless a great book that I really enjoyed reading.
