So this is only the second book I read of Tessier’s but after this one, I now have 4 more of her books loaded in my kindle, including book 2 to this series!
The characters are built nicely and the storyline will entangle you, forget adulting you won’t be doing any of it once you start reading this book. Give me this damaged man any day and I will lick his sins away!
You need to one-click this book now!!

OMG I loved this book so much! It had twists and turns I didn't see coming and I kept reading to figure out the 2 main characters. It was awesome!

OMG! Everyone must read this book... like right now.
This was such an amazing story. I didn't even know what the hell I was reading for the first 20%, and somehow it wasn't a bad thing. I was glued to my Kindle. I may not have had any idea what the hell was going on but it didn't seem to matter because the story and the writing were that good.
This is a book where things aren't what they seem to be, but not in a way where you can figure out the ending before you read it. At least I don't think so. The author tells the story from three POVs: the hero, Case, the heroine, Taylor, and the heroine's brother, Blane. I love that there is an unexpected POV. It's different and completely relevant to the story.
There really isn't much I can say about the story line unless I'm going to write a review full of spoilers. Just know this book is a love story, a mystery, a little bit of a mind fuck, focused on family and friendships.. and of course addiction.
One more thing: this author knows how to write some hot as hell love scenes. I mean... OMG. I will warn you though, some readers may find the sex scenes "a little much" but they completely fit the tone of the story.
I CANNOT wait for Brecken's story!

Taylor is trying to get through her last year of college when her Dad throws her life into turmoil. Who knew one phone call could change the course of your boring life?
Taylor lives with her brother, Blane, and his girlfriend/her best friend Savannah. Blane decides to help their dad out after Taylor refuses to get involved with her Dad's life. Blane's new job leads to Taylor crashing into Cases life. After going to night club with Savannah to see what Blane is up to Taylor meets Case who is the very definition of Bad Boy. He is hot as h***, and bad as sin.
Taylor and Case are wrong for each other in all the right ways, and they can't keep away from each other. When Taylor gets a job at Case's night club they really can't stay away from each other. Case has a soft spot for Taylor that no one has seen. There are lots of twists, turns, and turmoil in this book that kept me on the edge of my seat until the last page.
Shantel's ability to keep a reader in suspense is an art. I have not been able to predict what is coming next with her books. This is how I know that an author has phenomenal talent. I would love to be able to peak inside her head to see how she comes up with her characters.

I won this book in a giveaway, and I started reading it as soon as it was on my kindle. I could not put it down. It had romance drama more romance. I loved it from the beginning to the end.

In the beginning, I wasn’t sure how I was going to like this book but, after a few chapters, I was hooked. This book has a lot of twists and turns but totally worth it. Case is the image of a total bad boy and Taylor is like the sweet, innocent girl next door buy, she’s a smart cookie. What a wild and crazy ride Addiction was! We are thrown into the world of drugs, lies, and scandal. Addiction is a hot and sexy suspenseful read that will have you guessing till the very end. Ugh I loved the build up of mystery and suspense this book surrounded me with and the betrayal, lies and the deceit were the cherry on top.

Great book!! Holy smokes I can't wait to read the next one. There was definite suspense, and romance, and sexy times, that is for sure. The action, the intrigue and by play in this story were amazing, it kept me interested and flipping the pages. Case and Brecken are a dynamic duo, and then add Taylor in to add a new dynamic and wow, awesomeness.(no this isn't menage, read it you will see what I mean) Anywho. Loved the story, loved the author's voice in telling this story, and can't wait for more.
