Good read - a bit repetitive. Love him, can’t be around him, love him, can’t be around him, etc.

I love this book. I seriously adore it. I think I may be addicted to Ethan and Chloe, or maybe I'm just addicted to anything written by Tracy Wolff.
This book is a roller coaster ride of emotion. If you devour it as fast as I did, you are going to have to hang on for the ride. You might even get whiplash.
Like in the first book, there are ups and downs, good (more like amazing) and bad (more like devastating) as this relationship rides out the turmoil. Without wanting to spoil anything, the end is happy, and just right. The way to that happy ending is full of anguish, laughter, tears and happiness.
Ethan finally exposes some of his insecurities, which make him all the more endearing. Of course there are sizzling hot love scenes, and a few LOL moments between Chloe and her friends.
Personally, my absolute favorite part of the book was the conversation about the World Cup between Chloe and her work friends. I am Austin, and I feel 100% the same way as him about football. It made me laugh to read that scene, because I have had the exact same conversation with people I work with about what I call football and what people here call football. It's only a couple of pages out of the book, so if football isn't your thing, it won't detract from your enjoyment of the book. Just happens to be the part that made me laugh, as there were other parts of the book that raised all sorts of other emotions.
I love Ethan, I love Tracy Wolff, and I highly recommend it to anyone.

Thank Goodness Addicted takes place right where Ruined left off. Chloe answers Ethan's door and who's standing there but, Brandon Jacobs. The man who raped Chloe than proceeded to make her life a living hell. He also happens to be Ethan's 1/2 brother. (Which at the end of Ruined Ethan just found out what his brother did.)
So, because Ethan & Brandon's family is very high powered, Chloe has a hard time understanding & trusting Ethan. Their relationship is tested & put through the ringer. She finds out some pretty major secret's than Ethan has been keeping from her. She begins to question not only Ethan, but if she can really be with him with everything that's happened. They deeply love each other but, will their love be enough to help them get through this extremely difficult & trying time?
This book made me feel so many emotions. I had an emotional connection to Chloe that my heart broke at times right along with hers. Ethan & Chloe's relationship didn't come without it's struggles but, for what they were going through & how they dealt with it, was natural to them & their relationship.
I can't not mention how HOT these 2 are when they get together. Ethan is a sexy, alpha male and he makes sure that his woman is pleasured...A LOT!
This is the 4th book I've read by Tracey Wolff now & I've loved every book so far. I know that when I read one of her books thatI'm going love it & that I'll be up all night reading it. She's become one of my go to authors.

Received from NetGalley/the publisher for an honest review.
Okay, I love Ethan Frost. Like he was probably my first book boyfriend since Laurie from Little Women kind of love. And I loved Ruined, the first book in this series. I was happy with the pairing of Chloe and Ethan. But after Addicted, not so much. Chloe annoyed me in this book to the point of frustration and almost to the point of Kindle throwing). Ethan has never been shy about what he wants and Chloe was so wishy washy back and forth with everything. I get it, she's got trauma but come on! Deal with it, make a decision, go to therapy, etc. DO SOMETHING. She's one lucky lady because she got her HEA. I'm not sure I would have been as patient in Ethan's shoes. I still loves me some Tracy Wolff but I was disappointed in this sequel.

Besides the whole should-they or shouldn't-they back and forth of their ENTIRE relationship. To the point where it became ridiculously over dramatic. There were OBVIOUS discrepancies in the continuing story line: 1) in Ruined (Ethan Frost #1) Chloe has a "mile of red curls" and in this book her hair is blonde 2) in Ruined her car is a Mini Cooper named Phoebe and in this book she has a Honda. Those are some pretty major boo-boos!
I have yet to decide whether to continue to the third book, Exposed. The blurb reads like it's in Ethan's point-of-view. Would that change it up enough to make it more readable...or less?

This book takes you on such a roller coaster ride and you don't know what is going to happen next but your rooting for Chole and Ethan the whole time even if there is some baggage between them and all they eventually work through it. I do have a problem with Chole always putting the blame on Ethan though when she does some stuff that would make me angry as well but she doesn't see it that way until she think's it through and find she is in the wrong as well sometimes not just Ethan all the time. I really don't like his mother either just saying.

Oh Ethan and Chloe, I’m getting whiplash from your relationship; if these two stopped fucking like rabbits and actually had an adult conversation, so many problems would be solved. I can’t wrap my head around the fact that the last two books happen over the course of two months. They really just taped down the accelerator and ripped out the brakes, huh?
Listen, the smut is so good and the drama is reminiscent of a soap opera and I love it. Ethan Frost is a fucking mess but I still want my own Ethan (except maybe with better communication skills). Chloe is not much better though. I understand her trauma is causing a lot of her fears, so she gets a mini pass, but girl needs to go to a therapist to figure out what the heck she wants.
It’s like a train wreck I can’t look away from, why do I enjoy these? That ending was confusing and the epilogue only made it worse. Time for book three lol
