My
Thoughts:
Lily and Loren, “Lo” are separated because Loren has checked
into rehab for his alcohol addiction and Lily is committed to staying faithful
as they navigate life with their secrets out to Rose, Lily’s older sister, Connor,
their friend and Ryke, Loren’s half-brother. I was pleased they admitted to
their addictions because I knew it would be the only way for each of them to
get help and get on the path to recovery. Now Lily just has to be strong until
Loren gets out of rehab.
While Lily and Lo are not together during the book there are
flashbacks where they share scenes giving illuminating their history a little
more. Theirs is a story of best friends and epic love. If I had one complaint
it would be that there’s a lot of sexy times, maybe little too much for
my tastes, but these two can’t get enough of each other and I guess that
solidly proved that.
Rose may be abrasive at times, but she was such a pillar of
support for Lily! I admired their
sisterly bond. Lily was there for her as well when their mother was especially
horrible. Their mother is something else!
I was happy that with Lily actively trying to deal with her addiction
and finally see a therapist, she started taking time to focus on getting close
to her younger sister, Daisy, who seems to have her own issues, taking risks
for the adrenaline high. There’s something definitely brewing between Daisy and
Ryke, even though it’ll have to be in the future with Daisy being sixteen and
Ryke twenty-two.
Ricochet was an excellent second chapter in Lily and Lo’s
continuing story. Angsty at times, but a real page turner. I’m looking forward
to the next installment! Berkley has just released this new beautiful print
copy of Ricochet with extra bonus material, and I think the
cover is so pretty!
4 Stars
The second book in the TikTok sensation Addicted series, now in a print edition with special bonus material!
As a sex addict, Lily Calloway must do the impossible: stay celibate for ninety days. Fall in love with Lily and Lo in this edgy new adult romance set in a world of lust, fame, swoonworthy men, and friendships that run deeper than blood in this special edition with bonus materials--in print only!
Cravings and fantasies become her new routine, but while Loren Hale recovers from his alcohol addiction, Lily wonders if he'll realize what a monster she really is. After all, her sexual compulsions begin to rule her life the longer she stays faithful to him.
Progress. That's what Lily's striving for. But by trying to become closer to her family--people who aren't aware of her addiction--she creates larger obstacles. When she spends time with her youngest sister, she learns more about her than she ever imagined and senses an unsettling connection between Daisy and Ryke Meadows.
With Lily and Lo's dysfunctional relationship teetering and unbalanced, they will need to find a way to reconnect from miles apart. But the inability to touch proves to be one of the hardest tests on their road to recovery. Some love brushes the surface. Some love is deeper than skin.
About the authors:
Krista Ritchie and Becca Ritchie are New York Times and USA Today bestselling authors and identical twins—one a science nerd, the other a comic book geek—but with their shared
passion for writing, they combined their mental powers as kids and have never stopped
telling stories. They love superheroes, flawed characters, and soul mate love.
I found I am not a big erotic romance fan. I want more story, less sex. These books are pretty old. I was curious how they aged.
ReplyDeleteI think it's so fun that the authors are twin sisters! I know I enjoy writing with my sister...makes it easier coming up with the next plot twist, too.
ReplyDeleteThis sounds so emotional with all they are going through. I like that there is a nice core group of the characters.
ReplyDeleteI just finished this last night, and I just loved it. You're right, it was nice to see Lily dealing with her issues.
ReplyDeleteIt looks like I have the first book in this series. It sounds like I need to give it a try.
ReplyDeleteIt sounds like it will tug at your heartstrings.
ReplyDeleteIt's no secret that I adore this series. It's one of my all-time favorites. Seeing one of the books makes me super nostalgic to pick them up and do another reread. Lily and Lo's early years could be angsty but I still loved them and pulled for them so hard.
ReplyDeleteI can do angsty as long as it does not become too much
