I thought the overall story was just okay. It wasn't a bad story but at the same time it didn't draw me in as much as I had hoped. It didn't leave me dying to read the next book because this one does end with a cliffhanger. It's hard to really love a story when the main characters doesn't draw you into their story or their world and you just don't connect with them.

When I started reading Addicted to You I thought that I would knew what I was getting into. A rough around the edges bad boy, and a good girl. This time she was gonna be a lil obsessive. But overall, that was gonna be the gist of things. If you’re a reader of romance, you know that there are some essential elements. But I was totally wrong.

First. Although I would describe Porscha Sterling as an Urban Fiction author, that’s not what this story was. (I’ll get to that later.)



Second. There was a lot of mystery!! As I read it felt like I was reading the book but there was so much I was missing! I had questions that I wasn’t getting the answers to!



Third. I did not trust these characters at all! Usually, I love one protagonist or the other. But this time my lack of trust made me suspicious of everybody!



Okay so here’s the story. Addicted to you is the story of Sage and Ink. Sage is the newly installed CEO of her father’s company. While it would seem that Sage is a just a rich kid inheriting her daddy’s company and has known no struggle in her life. On the contrary! She’s actually her father’s love child. He cheated on his wife with another woman and had a baby with the mistress. His wife never had kids, and when her mother died, she was sent away to boarding school. She didn’t get to go back home until her father passed away. She’s basically been alone most of her life.
Ink has lived a very different life. He became a tattoo artist after a stint in jail. Since coming back home he’s become a sort of celebrity. His skills as a tattoo artist has brought him a lot of notoriety! He’s basically like Ryan Henry of Black Ink Chicago. He’s famous for his tattoo skills, but he’d rather live a more private life.



When Sage meets Ink, its sort of infatuation at first sight. He’s attractive, yet professional. She seems like she’d be a groupie, but acts completely appropriate. So when Sage’s best friend bullies/pushes her to check out Ink at one of his club appearances, it’s safe to say Sage’s interest in Ink peeks.
But soon after, we learn that this man is MARRIED!! This is not a spoiler. But the man is married and with a child. And when we’d assume that this potential relationship is done for, there’s way more to come. There’s the drama of the WIFE, legal accusations made against Ink, the deteriorating relationships with his friends, and his desire to have no drama before their relationship gets serious.
Y’all, sometimes I was like, this is tew much!!

Overall I’d describe this book as a mystery/suspense story. I wouldn’t honestly qualify it as urban fiction. There’s a lot we don’t know and don’t understand until we get to the end. And that’s kinda cool. The one thing that I think was a sore spot for me is that we don’t really get to see their “intimately”. It felt like there was a lot of build up to it, and then we kinda stepped over it. But never fear, we are clear about the fact that she LOVES him. And in many ways, we can see that he loves her too.

But one thing that’s clear to me about this one. Its a roller coaster ride!
If you’re into Urban Suspense, this is the one for you!

Slow burn urban tale, keenly depicting the devastation of misguided love.

Full of authentic dialogue and juicy drama, the ending leave room for a MUCH NEEDED book 2! (I LOVED THIS BOOK!)

Highly recommended for urban fiction lovers!

Thank you Net Galley for a copy of this book. I will say that I was honestly underwhelmed by this book and believe it was just “okay”. The synopsis caught my eye and I wasn’t overly convinced by the perceived relationship between Sage and Ink but then again, I wasn’t drawn in by Sage either. The book ended on a cliffhanger but I don’t think I will read it.

This story was one that was full of suspense. There's something that happens in the story that had me looking at all of these characters like they were suspects. I enjoyed Sage relationship with her best friend Lola. Lola was funny and the type of best friend that everyone needs to have. She definitely made things interesting. I loved Ink!!! I loved that he was willing to do whatever he needed to do for his daughter. It also didn't hurt that he was handsome and charming. This story was funny, steamy and will have you thinking at one point that some of these characters are crazy as hell. I do wish I felt more of a chemistry between Sage and Ink. I definitely felt the lust, especially when it came to Sage. She wanted him in her panties bad. The ending was crazy and at the same time had me saying this some b.s. However, I thought the overall story was just okay. It wasn't a bad story but at the same time it didn't draw me in as much as I had hoped. It didn't leave me dying to read the next book because this one does end with a cliffhanger. It's hard to really love a story when the main characters doesn't draw you into their story or their world and you just don't connect with them. This story was just missing something for me.
