Book Review: Stein, Charlotte – Addicted

Addicted

Kit Connor has always led a safe, cautious life. But when her friend points out that her erotic writing lacks something, she decides to attend a Sexual Healing group to improve her knowledge.
Kit expects to find the gritty underbelly of sex, and instead finds louche, laidback, sex-loving Dillon Holt.
He makes a suggestion to her: that he will tell tales of his sexual excess, and help her book get the realism it needs. She agrees, but hasn’t the least idea of what she’s getting into.
Dillon doesn’t have simple advice in mind … he has lessons to teach her. Lessons on everything she’s never dared to experience, from kink to real passion.
Now Kit is never sure: is Dillon the addict, or is she just addicted to him?

Kit is a librarian trying to write an erotic novel but finds she is unable to make her work believable due to her personal lack of experience. Under advice from her friend, she heads into a sexual therapy group where she meets Dillon who is on the opposite scale and can reel off many adventurous liaisons. When he discovers the real reason Kit is at the group he decides to give her a practical demonstration to aid her writing, but as their relationship develops it turns out he is carrying some secrets too.

Stein writes hot, unselfish, still-waters-run-deep male characters with women who are socially awkward but who gain strength through the exploration of their sexual appetites and developing relationship. It’s a combo I really enjoy.

Addicted is a really enjoyable read with hot scenes, great chemistry between the protagonists and real romance too. I loved it.
