Addicted by Amelia Betts
3.0

ARC received for an honest review.

3.5 stars

A sex addict chef and a food addict - should make for fun, right? Imagine the things they could do with food!!

I have to admit, when I was at about 25% and picking this book up for the second night, I wasn't sure that I really wanted to continue. It just wasn't doing it for me.

But I am glad i pushed on (I am just not one who can easily DNF a book) as once it hit about the 50% mark, it really took off for me.

It took a fair while for me to connect with our H/h - they felt whiney, self absorbed and I admit I really did not like them. But as the story progressed and the characters began to really find their feet, I did become engrossed in the story.

Liam - sexy Aussie chef and sex addict - meets Mischa, when she mistakenly goes to his sex addicts meeting instead of her Overeaters Anonymous. There is that first spark, but is it because he likes her or is it because of his addiction.

Gah, it seemed to go on like this for ages. Does he or doesn't he like me? Made Mischa feel a lot more immature than her age suggested.

We did see some great character development in the second half of the book though. Both Liam and Mischa seemed to have a lot of personal growth, seemed to grow into their own skins. And by the end, I did actually quite like them - most of the time.

So, don't let my almost DNF deter you. Give Addicted a go, it might be just the book you are looking for
