I was anxiously awaiting the rest of Ethan and Chloe's story as the cliffhanger in Ruined had me reeling. Addicted is really the best title for this book as Chloe and Ethan are definitely addicted to each other and despite what really seems best, the two wind up finding their way back to each other over and over.Ethan returns as the total swoon-worthy hero. He continues to try to take care of Chloe, make up for his mistakes, and this time around shows us his sensitive side. Totally love Ethan, even though along the way he makes some major mistakes of omission.Chloe is back and continues to be annoying in this book as well. She is continually back and forth regarding her relationship with Ethan. Even her roommate Tori, whom I love, comments she needs a neck brace due to the whiplash she has from Chloe's behavior. Her badassedness, yes I know that is not a real word, that she originally shows once upon a time in the cafeteria and what in his own words is what drew Ethan to Chloe, continues to be MIA in this story. This begs me to wonder what Ethan really sees in Chloe in the first place. Yes we get the litany of all the reasons he loves her during one of their steamy encounters, but other than those sexually related, I didn't get it.Overall, if you are hoping for the HEA and conclusion of this book you will be happy, though I am not sure you will be thrilled with how they get there. For me I still have too many questions. I want to know how Ethan handles his mom and I need to know more about what happens with Brandon. There really does not seem to be any way for this couple to be together unless Ethan totally disowns his family. We just don't know if that is what happens, though I didn't get that impression.Despite my ranting, I still give the book four stars because I do love the heroes that Wolff writes, and Ethan Frost will definitely be one of my favorites. I look forward to reading about the next hero she will write about.Thanks to NetGalley for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
