I found myself completely immersed in this erotic romance, and I couldn't put it down. The characters were absolutely captivating, each with their own distinct personality that brought the story to life. The connection between Libra and Zane was so magnetic and intriguing, making their relationship feel genuine and compelling. The writing in this book was exceptional, especially the way the author described Libra’s painting process—it was so vivid, I felt like I could see her artwork come to life before my eyes. Truly an enjoyable read!

This novel was very dark, intriguing. but it did deliver. As a fan of dark romance I loved it and ate it like chocolate.

A must for 2025

Thank you to Sterling & Stone, Aubrey Parker, and NetGalley for this ARC!

I'm not quite sure how to review this book. The title, the cover, the content of the book, the writing style, the themes... none of it matched what it appeared. The writing style flowed well and it was captivating. After reading the first 3-4 chapters, I thought this was going to turn out to be a 5-star read, but I ended reading about half of it and then skipped to the end to confirm what I had already figured out during the first third of the book. The twist at the end was predictable. Although I love a spicy romance the smut in this book was way too much. It felt like almost every chapter I read had some sort of smut or allusion to smut. Overall, it was probably more like a 2-star read but an extra star for the fluid writing style.

Aubrey Parker’s Addicted is a dark, intense, and undeniably gripping read that delves into complex themes while delivering an electrifying romance. The novel doesn’t shy away from heavy subjects, and its characters carry deep emotional scars, making their journey both compelling and raw.
