Addiction by Shantel Tessier
5.0
Finally going back and reading Shantel’s older work. I see there is also a third book of this series coming.
I didn’t know what I would be getting into when going into this book, but it was a fantastic read! Just enough dark and grittiness, with some sweet romance, and lots of heat to bring a well-rounded romance.
At the beginning when we’re being introduced to Taylor, Case, and her brother, each with their own perspective I was very confused as to how the brother was fitting into all this. Turned out he was pretty central (and indirect) in bringing Case and Taylor together. Case is a drug dealer and club owner in which Taylor’s brother goes to work for. She finds out what he has been doing when tagging along to the club with him and her friend. From there, she and Case have a variety of interactions until she ends up working for him at the club. She’s brought into the dangerous world, while Case is working on keeping her safe.
There’s a lot going on in the background between the brother, the side characters, and especially with Case’s shady background. I did have my suspicions, because why else would he be so secretive, but I didn’t quite guess it all. And it wasn't until nearly when Taylor figured it out that so did I as to who was running the show in the background.
Even during the first half, their romance blooms as very sweet. As hard as Case seems, and as hot as the sex is, he brings so much sweet angst to the table. He is so protective over Taylor in all the good ways and everything he has done for her was for a reason.
Loved this one and so excited for Brecken’s book! I’m so happy that it won’t be him and Rachel since I had fears early into this one that that is what it would be.
