i adored marrow. no, i LOVED marrow. i’ve always adored moffy’s character since he was a kid and i even liked farrow so very much from the very first chapter. the tension? top notch. the banter? i loved. their dynamic? perfect. their story? im in love.
but see, there were a lot to unwrap here.
for one-the story was so fast paced like i wasn’t even five chapters into the book and moffy was already horny for the guy like what?

Here I am again, weeping over a Hale man and his one true love.
No - but in all seriousness. I've never loved a romance series quite the same way I love the Addicted/Calloway Sisters series, and the Like Us series allows me to continue on with this family I have grown so attached to. I love these books, and the Ritchie sisters would have to release something completely and utterly terrible for me to not enjoy it.
This is the first LGBTQ+ couple in the Addicted world with Maximoff and Farrow. I'm in love. I am not expert on LGBTQ+ relationships by any means, so I won't comment on whether I thought the representation was good or not. All I can say is the romance made me feel something (like all of the couples in the Addicted world) and I've already grown attached.
Krista and Becca Ritchie, I'm addicted to you. (see what I did there??? ok I'll stop)

This story was a wonderful read with so many lessons .It showed how damaged the past of the parents can make one but it wasn't about judgement.so much about growth and acceptance.
It also shows the two sides of a coin theory,like what we want to see and what really going on. Maximoff is famous and really liked ,known to be a rock to everyone and everyone and he carries that responsibility like a wolf scout but deep within he does that so that the others around him don't have to .His siblings,cousins and those who really on him.He puts himself on a pedestal and carries the baggage of others but that also means he cant find happiness for himself.
loved his relationship with his sibling and with Jane that one can almost mistake them as twins.His family is so close because they have to be but they also genuinely love each other.
Farrow is dependable and loves pushing moffy's buttons it so much fun to watch.Their relationship developed so fast when they let it it was almost like you are waiting for the other shoe to drop.
The relationship with the SFO is awesome more like they are siblings rather than workmates.And the way talk about and gossip about their clients especially the omega *sigh*
And the best part there is a sequel

I am fully aware that there are 23 books in this world following various members of this family. However, before reading Damaged Like Us (book 11), I had only read the first 200ish pages of Addicted to You (book 1) before DNFing. I was drawn to the premise of this book with a forbidden enemies to lovers, bodyguard romance. I am pleased to report that this book started strong. The enemies was believable, as was the pining, and even the we should probably not sleep together part of the book didn't bother me. This book then started adding unnecessary plot devices. A cousin crashes a board meeting, and nothing happens. His siblings randomly decided to get piercings (again, why should I care). The media thinks his uncle is his dad (nothing comes of this). They tease a Keeping Up with the Kardashians styled show (probably for future plot reasons, but why should I care?). My 13th reason, however, was the UNNECESSARY INCESTS RUMOUR. I did not need to read about the whole world plus the protagonist's family, believing he was having kinky incest sex with his cousin. This was then solved by him MAKING OUT WITH HIS BODYGUARD INFRONT OF HIS WHOLE FAMILY. ABSOLUTELY NOT. I get that this moment was written to be romantic. However, I almost threw up in my month before dying of second-hand embarrassment. I think I will be taking a break from this series and maybe never return to it.

I feel like most of the problems this famous and rich family has with their obsessive fans and media could be solved by their money and safety precautions. I found it a little hard to belive how obsessed their fans are supposed to be but I mean if it whould be otherwise than you couldnt write an entire book about it, I can live with it. I generally liked the relationship between the to protagonists, but whould have liked a little bit more romance or tenderness.
