The Ritchie sisters have such a wonderful way of weaving together unique characters, drama, sexiness and fun. Hothouse Flower is lacking none of those things.If you've been reading through the series you've seen the relationship between Ryke and Daisy grow. Starting with Ryke's big brother type annoyance with her, to a big brother type protection over her, to a friendship built on complete truth, trust and understanding. And now, to love.Ryke and Daisy, in one way are the epitome of opposites attract. Ryke is harsh, brutally honest and vulgar. Daisy is sweet and friendly.Yet, they are both adrenaline junkies. Daredevils. It's this that gives them an initial connection.Ryke has intrigued me throughout the other books but having so much of him in this book has sold me thoroughly. He is so my type of book boy. He's a good guy, but you wouldn't expect it on appearance or hell, even a short conversation with him. He hides the best of himself. It's as if he doesn't believe he is deserving of being a good guy.Daisy is a bit tragic. She bares the weight of her families mistakes in an enormous way and keeps it all to herself. Ryke being the only exception. She'd rather be tormented and stalked then let her emotional state burden her sisters in any way. She's the type of girl you would love to have as a friend or a sister.Daisy is really put through the paces in this book. I wanted to wrap her up, bring her home and feed her brownies.All of these emotions lend to a very entertaining read.I very much loved the tension, the drama, the heartfelt moments and even the volatile ones.I love ALL the characters of the Addicted series, my favorite being Connor Cobalt, but Ryke is a serious close second. Seriously, seriously close. Really. He says the f word. A lot. It kinda makes me hot.If you are a fan of the series, Hothouse Flower will not disappoint. If you have yet to start the series, check out the reading order above. It starts with Lily, a sex addict, and Loren who is an alcoholic. Fun right?
