HOTHOUSE FLOWER REVIEW-A strong 4 !/2 Stars!**SPOILERS**Another Smash in the 'Addicted to You' series!  This book can be read as a standalone book but I highly recommend that you read the entire “Addicted to You” series first because all of the characters in this book are all a big part of the previous “Addicted to You” books.  All of the characters in the “Addicted to You” series have become some of my best friends!  “Hothouse Flower” is Daisy and Ryke's story and if you've read the previous “Addicted to You” books then you already have a good feel for these 2 characters...especially Ryke.I love Ryke and Daisy!  Ryke is the ultimate hot, bad boy but there is so much more to him that he hides from everybody. He's rough, raw and volatile but Daisy seems to understand him like nobody else ever has. Daisy is 7 years younger than Ryke, a beautiful high fashion model, sweet, selfless, mature beyond her years and has a wild streak in her.  Ryke is attracted to much more than Daisy’s beauty and has been for years...but of course she is off limits for several reasons, being under 18 years of age being one of them.Throughout “Hothouse Flower” we watch as Ryke and Daisy fight their attraction to each other but Daisy is suffering and Ryke is the only one who knows about her pain and is there for her during this difficult time.Finally Daisy and Ryke go their separate ways feeling that it for the best.  But can they stay apart?Authors Krist and Becca Ritchie throw in some twists and turns that I never saw coming!  They have already created all of the characters in this book from the past books and they are all so well developed.  I feel like I am a part of their circle of friends and I feel everything that they are feeling.Of course the Ritchies’ books are filled with drama, suspense, sex and love.  They also manage to carry on several story lines at once, something that few authors can do well.This book will join the other “Addicted to You” series on my favorite shelf!  I highly recommend not just “Hothouse Flower” but all of the “Addicted to You” books.One warning:  If you are offended by the F word then this is one book you should avoid.  I have no problem with the F word but I did feel it was over used even though it is definitely a word Ryke would use a lot!  That is the sole reason that I did not give this book 5 stars. Still, high, high praise for "Hothouse Flower".  I’m anxiously awaiting the release of the next book in this awesome series!
