Welcome to my stop on the release launch blog tour. You can follow the full tour for more excerpts, interviews and other teasers HERE!
I love this series and this newest book was amazing as well. I will be posting my review for the YA Bound Blog Tour on December 16th. I love this series so I wanted to participate in both tours!
Excerpt
LOREN HALE’S POV
Holding Lily usually
solves our problems, but she fights me this time. Ramming her tiny fists into
my hard chest, trying to push me away. “Are you not hearing me?” she says,
shoving my bicep. “I can’t sleep next to you.”
I keep her in my arms
easily, my muscles flexing as I wrap them around her. “Lil, shh,” I say, my
lips finding her ear.
“I can’t!” she
shouts, tears beginning to pool.
“Lil, you can,” I
whisper deeply. “Shh.” I lock her arms together for a minute, her body wedged
between my legs. Tonight will be the most difficult, I remind myself. It’s
confusing for her. She wants to be with me, but my mere presence tempts her. I
don’t ever want her to believe that being alone, being apart, is the solution.
It’s not.
She needs me as much
as I need her. We just have to find our footing in this relationship. And that
takes time.
She grows restless,
so I roll on top of her, pinning her legs down with mine,
trapping her small frame. She seems to settle, but her chest rises and falls
heavily, fear swimming in her eyes.
“Who do you trust
more, me or you?” I ask.
“You.” She doesn’t
even hesitate.
“Then this is how
we’re going to sleep.”
She frowns. “I’m not
sure I can hold your weight.”
I smile. This is why I
love her—why I relish in the fact that I’m going to wake up next to her, my
arms wrapped around her delicate body. She’s adorable.
He's addicted to booze. She's addicted to sex...staying sober is only half the battle.
No. More. Sex.
Those are the three words Lily Calloway fears the most. But Loren Hale is determined to be with Lily without enabling her dangerous compulsions. With their new living situation—sleeping in the same bed, for real, together—Lily has new battles. Like not jumping Lo’s bones every night. Not being consumed by sex and his body.
Loren plans to stay sober, to right all of his wrongs. So when someone threatens to expose Lily’s secret to her family and the public, he promises that he’ll do anything to protect her. But with old enemies surfacing, Lo has more at stake than his sobriety.
They will torment Lily until Lo breaks.
And his worst fear isn’t relapsing. He hears the end. He sees it. The one thing that could change everything. Just three words.

Addicted For Now Releases November 30th!
Check out the entire Addicted series!
Becca Ritchie claims she's from Mystic Falls, but really, she lives in Atlanta where humidity is her greatest foe. She loves comic books, blue nail polish and Jonathan Taylor Thomas circa 1995. She frequents Twitter to dish about too many TV shows, and when she's not blogging, she writes novels and has teamed up with her twin sister to collaborate on a New Adult series.
Krista Ritchie has a clone...or someone who looks exactly like her. If she's not writing books with her twin sister, she's pouring over entertainment news and ingesting copious amounts of pop culture. She likes tennis, that thing called the TV, and beating Becca (her clone) on Sega Genesis. She created YA Book Exchange to combat her book buying addiction and started Nawanda Files, a YA Book Blog that features books into movies news, to share her love for all things bookish. Oh, and she does something called science. Whatever that is.
Krista & Becca Ritchie write New Adult books that make you cringe, gasp, and go ooh-la-la. (If you do that sort of thing.) They are currently working on the spin-offs and final books in the Addicted series. Connect with them
