ADDICTED (OUTLAWS #2)

From the New York Times bestselling author of Claimed comes the second enticingly erotic novel set in a world on the brink of chaos.

Lennox used to live in a paradise on earth with his best friend Jamie, in a place where visitors came and went, allowing their desires to run free. But everything changes when a deadly attack forces them to take up with Connor Mackenzie’s band of Outlaws. Lennox knows Jamie is hung up on someone else, but he’s always believed he’s the man for her—and won’t let her go without a fight.

Even though Jamie is well aware that Lennox is one hot specimen of a man, she refuses to let sex ruin the most important relationship in her life. But when the object of her interest spurns her, she indulges in a little pleasure-filled revenge with her very magnetic, very willing best friend. One thrilling night with Lennox is enough to awaken Jamie’s unexpected desires for him. And now that she’s had a taste, she’s not sure she can ever give him up...

Nikki’s Review:

There are very few books in the romance genre that can make me blush...almost none!

But Jesus, this series just does me in! It is wickedly over the top. But so damn delicious!

Jamie and Lennox are living in a post apocalyptic world. They're best friends and there isn't anyone they trust more than each other. There's definite chemistry beyond friendship, though neither would admit it out loud. They, and the other people that are apart of their wayward community, grab life by the balls and enjoy whatever pleasure they can find. Because your tomorrow isn't guaranteed and your freedom is fragile. 

The struggle to get together was a constant in this book. These characters have no one is this world. Sure, they have friends, but they don't have anyone that feels like home. Neither is willing to destroy the most important thing in their lives...their friendship. But when things finally heat up, and I mean really heat up, there's no going back. They have to risk everything to not only be lovers, but to hold onto the only thing that brings them peace. 

The world building in this series is phenomenal. You get a real sense of what it might be like to try and survive in a world torn apart by disease and war. The author, Ms. Kennedy, uses words to paint a vivid picture. I could "see" it all.

There's enough suspense and action to satisfy the adrenaline junkie in anyone. And the love scenes are absolutely tantalizing! The balance of violence and romance is brilliant and will keep you reading way past your bedtime!
