aefedele's review against another edition
3.0
This review was posted on Tsuki’s Book Blog at September 12, 2013.
For months I've had Beth Kery's "Because You Are Mine" floating around on my Kindle and I've yet to read it. Instead I tried her book "Exposed to You" and enjoyed it. I had my issues with the book but it had some of the sexiest sex scenes I've ever read. Naturally I looked into the rest of the series and waited patiently for "Addicted to You" to come to my local library. Well it did and I read it.
Rill Pierce is hiding. He suffered a personal tragedy and retreated from his career as one of the most sought after film directors. He spends a great deal of time drinking himself into a stupor and doing nothing. When Rill's best friend's sister, Katie arrives in Vulture's Canyon, she finds him drunk and horny. They sleep together but he forgets upon awakening and she keeps the secret. She is determined to bring him back to life and together they begin a whirlwind romance of sex. When Katie winds up pregnant Rill has to decide if he can trust her and let go of the past.
Beth Kery/Bethany Kane has a real gift for writing sex scenes. I'm not sure why because I've often begun skipping over sex scenes that are repetitive. If there is no dialogue, it usually offers nothing to the story so I feel comfortable skimming them. I could not skip one paragraph of the sex scenes in a Beth Kery book. They always bring the house down. This book was no exception when, in the opening pages, a drunk Rill seduced Katie.
Rill was the perfect combination of tortured, alpha hero. He was a drunk and angry at the world but he was sexy and alpha. He had issues, sure, but he wanted to find solace in his life. For him, Katie offered that.
I love book where the couple come together again and again but can't seem to finalize their relationship. Katie and Rill were perfect for each other but at the same time they kept dancing around their future all because of Rill's past. It was sort of annoying at times but it was also funny to watch them have sex in the woods and then fight for a few days then repeat the process. I had a lot of fun laughing at them when their relationship did something unexpected.
I really enjoyed the townspeople which made smaller appearances in "Exposed to You" but were much more utilized in this one. Katie spent the most time with them but the small town feel really invited future books. I would love to spend a little more time there in a future book.
In comparison to "Exposed to You" this had the better couple but a bit less interesting story. I preferred Katie and Rill but I disliked the slow, meandering quality of the story. It took forever for something to happen. Their relationship issues hung on bad communication and Rill's guilt over the past. It was a typical set-up but implemented sort of poorly. On the other hand "Exposed to You" had a great story but the characters left a little to be desired.
I will continue the series in the future but I keep waiting for them to make it to the library. It was a nice, enjoyable read between a young girl who wanted to help people and her sexy, sexy Irishman. Gotta love those Irishmen.
