Addicted is the conclusion to the Ethan Frost Series by Tracy Wolff, the story starts in the novel Ruined and you have to read both books to get the full story of Ethan Frost and Chloe Girard. Ethan is the picture of perfections, gorgeous, smart, filthy rich and a philanthropist but to Chloe he is so much more. He is the one who really saw her and loved her when she thought she was broken beyond repair. He was the first man she opened up to and allowed close to her in a very long time, he is gentle and understanding of her history and helps her begin to heal. Unfortunately fate can be cruel and Ethan has secrets that can destroy them both. Will they be able to live with the terrible truth or will they be torn apart?I will start off by saying Ruined was absolutely amazing and I thought I would lose my mind before I got to read the conclusion! Addicted is the perfect name for this novel, Ethan and Chloe are addicted to each other and Tracy Wolff will have you addicted to this story from the very first page. She creates a story so intense and spell binding you won't be able to put it down until the very end. Every single time things start to go smoothly some horrible obstacle is thrown in front of them and each one is worse than the last. This story is a roller coaster ride of emotion that will give the reader whiplash from the wild ride.Chloe is a phenomenal character, she has been through things that no person should have to suffer but she keeps fighting for the life she has dreamed of for so long. Every time life throws another nightmare her way she comes out on top, she breaks down several times but who wouldn't? The most important thing is she gets back up and continues pushing forward. Each terrible secret that comes out would crush most people but Chloe is strong and her love for Ethan is unbreakable. I can totally understand why she loves Ethan so much, I am pretty much in love with him too! His kindness and gentleness toward Chloe is beautiful and he tries so hard to protect her and it often backfires but his intentions are always pure. There were several points in the novel where I wanted to shake him for being so stupid but he was doing the best that he could. He is willing to do anything to make her happy even if it makes him miserable, he is perfect!Then there is the hot, hot sex, the two of them are insatiable and Tracy Wolff writes some scorching scenes that will have the reader melting. The author includes plenty of dark secrets, twist and turns and surprises throughout this novel, some are sort of predictable but they keep the reader hooked and holding their breath waiting for the other shoe to drop through out the story.I felt this was a terrific conclusion to their story, they fought like hell for their happily ever after and they really earned it! I did feel there were some things that weren't totally wrapped up though, such as Ethan's family situation, what happened to them? I also was intrigued by Chloe's best friend Tori, there are many hints to the fact that she is tortured by her own dark secrets and I sincerely hope the author will write a novel to share her story with us!REVIEWED BY JAYMEE O'NEIL PINDAR FOR SUMMER'S BOOK BLOG
