Rating: 4 out of 5

I know what you're thinking. I know.. I can't believe it either. I struggled with this truly I did. I rated Hothouse Flower only 4 stars! WHAT!? Every other book in the series has gotten 5++++ from me but surprisingly for me Hothouse did not come with the same bang bang pow as the other books in the series.What I liked:I loved how the authors continued to update us on the other couples in the book. I love Richard Connor Cobalt so having his crazy funny sense of humor in this book was great. It was also wonderful to keep up with Lil and Lo and see what was going on with those two. I enjoy how this series although about sisters they are all three very unique and have their own lives, faults and wants. The authors do a really good job at showing this growing sister bond between the Calloway girls while also allowing them to have their own personalities.What I didn't care for as much:And basically why this book only got a STRONG 4 star rating from me.Unlike the other stories in the Addicted seres I did not feel like Ryke and Daisy stood out in their own book. Hothouse was supose to focus on their relationship but I felt like there were so many outside forces that the bond/love that these two share is there but I didn't feel it. When the two enemies Connor and Rose became one even as much as they tried to deny it, we as readers could feel it. When Lilly was out with other guys and Lo was being a mess at the end of the day in their dysfunction you could not deny their love.Now in Kiss the Sky the sexual tension between Ryke and Daisy was STRONG wow I could feel it. So I just KNEW Hothouse was going to be a ride. But other than the motorcycles that bang bang pow that I was expecting to feel between Ryke and Daisy i just didn't. Yes their together, have amazing HOT sex and love each other but outside of reading it on my ipad I didn't feel it. Every time there was an opportunity to expand and show how real their love/connection was it would be short changed by something going on between another character/relatiosnhip in the book.Would I recommend this book (series):YES The Addicted Series by Krista & Becca Ritchie so far is my favorite read of 2014. If that doesn't tell you READ ME I dont know what else will. Even though Hothouse didnt get a full 5 rating from me. It is still a good read and I am probably just being too nit picky. I am so excited to continue reading this series!-JuewelzSMIBookClub.com
