    About this audiobook

    It started innocently enough.



    Beautiful Harper gave Sean those eyes . . . those eyes that meant, yes, take me. But Harper didn't know Sean's secret . . . She didn't know that he liked it rough. More than rough.



    He liked to dominate. To punish. To degrade. It was the only way that the black hole in his soul wouldn't swallow him up.



    He would push her a little too far, and she would run. They all ran, eventually.



    But that's not what happened . . . when he put his hands around her throat and squeezed, Harper moaned. When he told her to stay away, she didn't listen, misbehaving until she got spanked. When he took out the handcuffs, there was excitement in her eyes, mixed with a little fear.



    The doe-eyed redhead liked it. More than that, she wanted it. She said so, time and again.



    That's the thing about sexy strangers, though . . . you never know what they're hiding. And Harper is carrying a burden so heavy that even Sean's secrets pale in comparison.



    Contains mature themes.

      In Sweet Addiction, Ms. Banks gives us more information about Cole Madison. Throughout all the Sweet books, we have seen a glimmer of Cole, here and there, enough to make you intrigued. When we see more of Cole‰Ûªs (in recent books) it is his dominance. This can be found in Micah and Angelina‰Ûªs book.

      This book is broken into three parts, where each major character tells their story. Each of the people (Lucas, Cole, and Ren) are all broken for some reason and troubled with decisions they must make.

      Lucas: Has never loved
      Cole: Has loved and lost
      Ren: Has healed, Loves her first love and fines love unexpectedly with another

      The question is one woman, two men; what is a girl to do! I saw love them both and have a great relationship, that many women dream of but never voice out loud but I guess I just did!

      I found this book to be different then the other books, and I really enjoyed that. Cole was not major in the storylines so, I would not like to see all the ins and outs of the other characters unless he was always (I mean always) in the other books, which he wasn‰Ûªt. His story was significant because you never understand why he did not have a submissive and why he was only interested in the women who were taken.

      I do want to know what is happening with my other Sweet ladies, I do miss their antics. I must say, Ms. Banks does allow we to see Serena, Angelina‰Ûªs babies, but what about Faith (baby or no baby), Julie (I don‰Ûªt know about a baby for her?) and Lyric (I think a baby would be great, but what about her career).

      All in all, it is great book. Great storyline and overall it brings something new to the Sweet life.

      P.S. These books can be read as a standalone. I actually read the books out of order, unintentionally. I did not want to know the opinions of others or any teasers so, when I saw a book I got it and read it. I have been smiling and re-crossing my legs in my seat ever since.

      Happy Reading.

      Amazing I loved and every single second of this story definitely recommend it
    • 4/5
      When I got this book Ms. Banks informed me she had to do the ending the way she did and changed it from it's original ending, in short...I was worried. After having read the book, just like she said, he couldn't have ended any other way.

      I love the characters in this book, I know everyone was waiting for Cole's book for so long that is hardly seemed real that it was time to read it. Lucas definitely grew on me as the story progressed. This is probably the sexiest book yet in this series, in my opinion. I loved the varied scenes with two or even three people interacting with Ren, it was sexy and very well done.

      The only problem I had with this book is the "misunderstanding" sub-plot. Ren automatically assuming things, the guys not telling her the full story, and then everyone gets worked up. I didn't find that part believable, I am a firm believer in everything can easily be cleared up, there is no need to mope around. I get it, it's fiction, just didn't like that part.

      Overall, a beautifully written and sexy conclusion to the Sweet Series.
    • 2/5
      I liked the idea much more than the execution. Ren was Cole's first love, and he left her for what I thought was a really immature reason. He never got over her. Ren, while never forgetting him, was able to move and have several successful D/s relationships. She's currently in a fufulling relationship with Lucas, and, wow. Let me just say that the whole 24/7 D/s thing makes no sense to me whatsoever, but Maya Banks did such a great job with Ren and Lucas's characterizations, especially Ren's, that I had no trouble getting into it.

      And then Cole happened. I just did not care about him or Ren's feelings for him. To be fair, I'm not a fan of the whole reunited first loves trope, so that right there was a hill that not many authors can get me to climb. But the reason for him leaving her was just so petty, and while I could believe that both he and Ren would feel some bittersweet nostalgia for that time in their lives, I could not accept that their feelings for each other would still be so strong. For that reason, the ending just didn't work for me (though there are plenty of stories out there where I would have loved such an ending).
