When rumors spread like wildfire—like having three-ways with her boyfriend’s rock climbing brother—Lily Calloway spirals into a dark place. Her bedroom. Loren Hale is more confident and determined to keep their sex life private, even from their friends, and he helps Lily in the only way he knows how. But how much love is too much?

Their lives are filmed, watched, and criticized. And through it all, Lily and Loren have to face enemies they never thought they’d see, demons they don’t know if they should bury, and setbacks they didn’t think they’d meet. Not this soon.

And one rumor could be too much for them to handle. It will test their greatest limitations, and if they don’t hold onto each other, someone is going to drown.

A full-length New Adult Romance that bridges the gap between the second and third books. Thrive must be read before Addicted After All if you have not read the Calloway Sisters spin-off 

Hi Lo, welcome to the blog. I interviewed your brother a couple months ago, not sure if he mentioned it?

Yeah he mentioned it. He said it wasn’t hard, which is why I’m here. *slouches in chair* I’m not going to be surprised if he lied to me though.

*Dannie resists urge to invite Lo to lay down on the couch.* I’m a little different than most interviewers, because I’m also a therapist. So you can just let me know if you want to keep any of this *confidential.* Okay?

*flashes half-smile* Great.

Tell us about yourself in [exactly] five words:

Never up to par. *pauses and glares* That was four words, wasn’t it?

It was, but I'll let it slide this time. What did you want to be when you grew up when you were 5? 10? 15? 20? And now?

*sighs heavily and scratches his head* I don’t know *brows furrow as he thinks hard* *shakes head* I don’t know.

Well, regardless, it sounds like you're finding your niche in your new business. Tell us a little about your work? How are you enjoying publishing? What’s the weirdest pitch/query you’ve received so far?

It’s stressful, but better than working at my father’s company. I enjoy it enough. Weirdest pitch...maybe not a pitch but Halway Comics is sent unsolicited manuscripts all the time. I received this one comic with panels and panels of Lil and me, kissing and…other things. *smiles at the memory* she loved it, and I think she stole it from my stack of manuscripts. *shakes head* it’s verging on porn, of us, so I need to find it.

Ruh roh. Good luck with that. If you had a magic wand and could change any three things about your life, what would they be? (Stop focusing on the word “wand”, that’s Lily’s job.)

*leg jostles and glances at phone* I wouldn’t be an addict. Lily wouldn’t be an addict. And my brother would’ve grown up with me, instead of alone.

I'd imagine that last bit is something Ryke has wished for, too. What is your best hidden talent?

Pleasing a sex addict *smiles* but then again, everyone knows about that now. Thanks Celebrity Crush.

What would you consider your greatest accomplishment?

Getting sober for myself, and for Lil.

A huge accomplishment! What’s your favorite thing about Lily?

*his lips rise as he begins to smile* Her heart.

Least favorite thing?

Tabloids can ruin her day.

                                                  

It's gotta be tough, dealing with the onslaught of trash like that when you have no control over it. But now there’s talk that you guys might be doing a reality show in the coming months. How are you feeling about that?

We’re doing this for Rose’s fashion career, and we’ve all agreed to support her. How I’m feeling about it doesn’t matter.

What is each of your costars’ greatest strengths?

*rushes through them quickly, slouching further*

Ryke: being there for people, even guys like me who give him a hard time.

Connor: he’s great at everything.

Rose: she’s the best sister to Lily, always supportive, even when she’s being a bitch.

Daisy: she’s always in a good mood.

Lily: *pauses for a second* her greatest strength is probably putting up with me when I was a complete idiot.

What’s your greatest strength?

The ability to discern that I may not have a greatest strength. Thanks. *sighs and tries to re-answer without being an asshole* Lily would say that I haven’t tapped into my superpowers yet, or that maybe my greatest strength  is right in front of me, and I just can’t see it.

I think she might be right. As an addictions counselor, I know how tough (but rewarding) it can be to stay sober, especially when you get swept up in negative self-talk. How do you talk yourself away from the bar in those moments?

I think about what I’ll lose if I go in there. *nods to himself as he stares faraway at the ground* I know there may be a day when that doesn’t stop me.

What’s the best part of being sober?

Being able to be the kinda guy that Lily deserves, being there for her before anything else.

You have one day left to live. How do you spend it?

With Lily. I just would want to be with her.

And now, on to my traditional questions, stolen from James Lipton. There’s only one rule—no Phone-a-Friend-ing in Connor. Ryke already used that trick on me last time.

Damn.

What is your favorite word?

Iconoclast

What is your least favorite word?

Relapse

What turns you on?

Geekiness

What turns you off?

Betrayal

What sound or noise do you love?

Lily’s voice.

What sound or noise do you hate?

My voice.

What profession would you most like to attempt?

None. I’d probably fuck it up.

*Sigh* *Resists urge to hug Lo.* What profession would you least like to attempt?

Working for Rose Calloway. That would be my hell.

If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear G-d say when you arrive at the pearly gates?

He’d most likely tell me: “Turn back around, there’s been a mix up.”

I don't believe that for even one second. Thanks so much for letting me pick your brain today, Lo. It's an honor and I wish you all the best with your sobriety, the comic business, and the reality show!

HOTHOUSE FLOWER Tour: A Character Interview with Ryke Meadows!

So this is a first for me, interviewing a fictional character here on the blog. But I think of any New Adult series I've come across, the characters in Krista and Becca Ritchie's ADDICTED series really pop off the page as organic people. (If you've been following the blog this year, you know I've become quite the giddy fangirl!) 

Ryke Meadows is one of my favorites. So let's pick his brain a little (by way of his creators) and find out more about HOTHOUSE FLOWER, their spinoff Calloway Sisters companion series, that comes out in five more agonizing days! And stay tuned for a giveaway at the bottom of the post!

Alright, Ryke. Tell us about yourself in [exactly] five words:

I don’t give a shit

Hmm...I should have said without cursing. You win that round. 

What did you want to be when you grew up when you were 5? 10? 15? 20? And now?

5: Can’t remember. My mom had plans for me though, I’m fucking sure.

10: rock climber

15: I just wanted to go to college and leave everything behind

20: rock climber

Now: I want to be there for my brother. And yeah, I still want to fucking rock climb.

If you had a magic wand and could change any three things about your life, what would they be? (Stop focusing on the word “wand”, that’s Lily’s job.)

*laughs softly and combs hand through thick brown hair. Slouches further in chair* I’d want my brother to be sober. I’d want his girlfriend to be healthy. And I’d wish that Daisy was a few years older.

What is your best hidden talent?

Making a girl…you know. *jaw hardens* Daisy’s parents are going to fucking read this. *shakes his head*

*Smirks* Right. Moving on. What were the best and worst parts of starring on Princesses of Philly?

The fucking media was the worst, no offense. And Julian, that fucking…*glares* and Scott. I pretty much hated the whole thing. Try living in a house with three crazy girls and three other assholes. I was ready to fucking leave. There were no “best” parts of Princess of Philly.

What’s your favorite thing about Daisy?

*looks over shoulder* Is she around here? Fuck… *sighs, turns back to Dannie* It’s easier to answer these kinds of questions with her.

I guess, without anyone chewing me out afterwards, I like her energy. I like hanging out with her. *shrugs* She brightens a fucking room when she’s in it.

Listen to you, being all adorbs. Okay, so what's your least favorite thing?

*slouches and smiles* Do you have all day? She can be way too fucking optimistic, impulsive, daring, easily excitable, which can be fucking cute but it can get annoying, and she’s too curious. *pauses* I like that she’s energetic, but sometimes, she needs to sleep. That’s important.

What is each of your costars’ greatest strengths?

Connor can break up almost any fight. Even for being a conceited prick and know-it-all, he’s usually right. *grimaces* Fuck. Don’t tell him I complimented him.

Who’s next? Rose? She’s really loyal. She’d drop everything if her sisters needed her.

Lily is a fucking goof. *smiles* I say that with affection. She’s the heart of my brother. I don’t think he’d be here if she wasn’t in his life.

Lo’s strength is to keep Lily standing. One really can’t fucking exist without the other.

And then Daisy. She has a really good soul, really sweet, probably too fucking sweet. Her kindness is her greatest strength but also a big weakness. She has a bad tendency to let people walk all over her

What’s your greatest strength?

I don’t know. Maybe I’m still trying to figure that one out. I’m sure Cobalt knows this answer. *takes out phone and texts* *Buzz.* He said… *laughs dryly* My greatest strength is pissing on my territory. *tucks phone in pocket* That’s coming from a fucking genius, everyone.

What’s your Achilles’ heel?

*shrugs* Ignoring my problems, probably

You have one day left to live. How do you spend it?

If you asked me this five years ago, I would have said alone, rock climbing. Now, I’d rather spend it with the people I love most.

And now, on to my traditional questions, stolen from James Lipton:

We already know what your favorite curse word is. So what is your *other* favorite word?

Carabineer

Ooooh. Good one! What is your least favorite word?

The fucking c-word. And yeah, I’m not saying it.

Thanks for that. :) What turns you on?

Restless spirits

What turns you off?

Misogyny

What sound or noise do you love?

Birds in the morning

What sound or noise do you hate?

Whining

What profession would you most like to attempt?

Ice climbing

What profession would you least like to attempt?

Law

If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear G-d say when you arrive at the pearly gates?

“Welcome to fucking Heaven.”

Author: Krista & Becca Ritchie

Series: Calloway Sisters #2 (Spin-Off of the Addicted series)

Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/18308266-hothouse-flower?from_search=true

Amazon: Link not available until March. 28^th

Ryke Meadows, meet Daisy Calloway ... she’s all grown up. 

Twenty-five-year-old Ryke Meadows knows he’s hard to love. With a billion-dollar inheritance, a track-star resume, and an alpha-male personality—he redefines the term likable asshole. But he’s not living to make friends. Or enemies. He just wants to free climb three of the toughest mountains in Yosemite without drama or interruption.

And then he receives a distressed call from a girl in Paris—a girl that he has never been allowed to have.

Daisy Calloway is eighteen. Finally. With her newfound independence, she can say goodbye to her overbearing mother and continue her modeling career. Next stop, Paris. Fashion Week begins with a bang, and Daisy uncovers the ugly reality of the industry. She wants to prove to her family that she can live on her own, but when everything spirals out of control, she turns to Ryke to keep her secrets. 

As Daisy struggles to make sense of this new world and her freedom, she pushes the limits and fearlessly rides the edge. Ryke knows there’s deep hurt beneath every impulsive action. He must keep up with Daisy, and if he lets her go, her favorite motto—“live as if you’ll die today”—may just come true.

Fangirl Friday: An Interview With Krista and Becca Ritchie

Far and away, my favorite New Adult book(s) on addiction so far have been the ADDICTED series by Krista and Becca Ritchie. Last month during their blog tour you may have witnessed me fangirling out over ADDICTED FOR NOW (which, if you like NA, sexy books, or books dealing with addiction should absolutely be on your TBR list!). Today I am totally thrilled to pick their brains a little more as I prepare to devour the next novella in this series. Here's a little bit about these incredible women and their book babies!

They are currently working on the spin-offs and final books in the Addicted series. Connect with them on twitter @Becca_Ritchie / @Nawanda_Files and their website: kbritchie.com

Tell us a little about your writer's journey so far:

Becca: I’ve been writing for about ten years. The first couple of years I started writing my stories on legal pads, so I’d say it wasn’t very productive and there’s no way it was very good. But I never stopped writing, and once I entered college, I teamed up with my sister to work on a couple novels. Addicted to You was the one we thought was ready to be shared, and here we are now! The response has been crazy, and we’re just so grateful for all the support and readers.

Krista: I haven’t been writing as long as Becca, but I wrote throughout college and some of high school. I really loved it, and I was so excited when Becca told me she wanted to work with me. We didn’t know what to expect when we published Addicted to You, but I agree with Becca, the response and support has been so amazing.  

Okay, let's hear your Twitter Pitch! (140 characters or less.)

Becca: I’ll tackle this one ;) – A female sex addict and her alcoholic best friend pretend to be in a relationship to hide their addictions from their families. #craziness

Krista: Couldn’t have said it any better ;)

What inspired you to write this book? How is it a book only you could write?

Becca: We really wanted to write a story about female sex addiction, and we felt the only way for people to understand the reality behind that addiction would be to juxtapose it with a known addiction—one that’s not as taboo. Like alcohol addiction. 

Krista: Answering the second question…Becca and I are twenty-two. We were in our senior year at college when we wrote Addicted to You. Our characters are around our age and they face some of the same insecurities and challenges about becoming adults that we face. We put—however corny this may seem—our souls into this book. It has our humor, our love for dark, emotional dramas, and our beliefs about being twenty-something in our generation.

 

What's your favorite thing about writing?

Becca: I love creating new people, as weird as that may seem. They become so real to us over the course of writing, and what’s fun is being able to just think about simple things like: how would Rose handle a gym class? Or what would Lily do while shopping for groceries? And being able to construct a scene based on that everyday scenario is actually more fun than it seems.

Krista: Same! I love creating our characters. And being able to talk about them with Becca is an added bonus.

What's your least favorite thing?

Becca: Knowing something is really wrong with the book and not being able to figure out what it is. We’ve had those moments with Addicted for Now and Kiss the Sky where we’re about halfway through and we step back and go, “Dammit, something’s wrong.” And we have absolutely no clue what it is. It’s just this weird insane feeling. We always figure it out, but it eats up our time.

Krista: Agreed. When something is off with plot, pacing, or characters and you just can’t figure out which, it’s a mood killer and a time suck.

Now it's time to brag a little--What do you love most about your book?

Becca: Oh, I love our characters, without a doubt. They’re all so different and unique. They’re constructed based on every little thing. Like environment, psychology, who raised them, their wealth, everything. I love our characters so deeply. They’re flawed, most are assholes, but they’re so lovable in the end…to us anyway.

Krista: Our characters are complete assholes. But I agree, I love them all! They all bring something new and fresh to our books since they’re all incredibly different.

Okay, now a little about you. (And yes, I stole these questions from In the Actor's Studio with James Lipton.)

What is your favorite word?

Becca: Captivate (I rarely use it though)

Krista: Ethereal

 

What is your least favorite word?

Becca: Moist!

Krista: Masticate

What turns you on?

Becca: Good sense of humor

Krista: Intelligence

What turns you off?

Becca: Misogyny

Krista: Incompetence

What sound or noise do you love?

Becca: Wind chimes

Krista: Typing

What sound or noise do you hate?

Becca: Crying baby

Krista: Fuzzy television

What profession, other than your own, would you most like to attempt?

Becca: Firefighter

Krista: Doctor

If Heaven exists, what would you like to hear G-d say when you arrive at the pearly gates?

Becca: Remember when you fought with your twelfth grade Government teacher, *leans in to whisper* you were right. (Thanks God!)

Krista: Just kidding. Turn around. You’re immortal. J

Finally, what's the one question you've always wanted to answer in an interview? (And of course, you have to answer it!)

If you had to choose to live in the world of one book, what would it be and why?

Krista: The obvious answer here is Harry Potter. Who doesn’t want to be a wizard? But we also have to consider the fact that you could be a muggle. And since I’m not British, I probably wouldn’t be the one wielding the wand. Then again, I think it would be more fun to be a muggle in Harry Potter than it would be to be human anywhere else. So I’m sticking with the obvious answer – Harry Potter.

Becca: Harry Potter. And yes, I’m copying Krista (but she’s right, it’s the obvious choice). Even though I’m not British, I’d hope they’d accept me into Hogwarts. I’d most definitely, without a doubt, be Hufflepuff. (Krista would totally be Ravenclaw!)

About KISS THE SKY

Virgin. Sex addict. Daredevil. Alcoholic. Smartass … Jackass. Her five friends are about to be filmed. Reality TV, be prepared. 

Rose Calloway thought she had everything under control. At twenty-three, she’s a Princeton graduate, an Academic Bowl champion, a fashion designer and the daughter of a Fortune 500 mogul. But with a sex addict as a sister and roommate, nothing comes easy. 

After accepting help from a producer, Rose agrees to have her life filmed for a reality television show. The Hollywood exec is her last chance to revive her struggling fashion line, and boundaries begin to blur as she’s forced to make nice with a man who always has his way. 

Twenty-four-year-old Connor Cobalt is a guy who bulldozes weak men. He’s confident, smart-as-hell and lives with his equally ambitious girlfriend, Rose Calloway. Connor has to find a way to protect Rose without ruining the show. Or else the producer, who’s never been denied a thing, will get what Connor has always wanted—Rose’s virginity. 

This New Adult Standalone Romance can be described as Friends meets The Real World. Expect fist fights, drugs, sex of varying degrees, crude humor and competitive alpha males. Definitely for mature readers audiences only.

**Dannie Note** I bought KISS THE SKY earlier this week and dropped everything to read it. Like EVERYTHING. And once I finished it, I started reading it again. Not kidding. Review coming soon but for now just know that this book is Krista and Becca's best so far!!

Addicted for Now (Addicted #2)

by Krista Ritchie & Becca Ritchie

Release Date: 11/30/13

Summary from Goodreads:

He's addicted to booze. She's addicted to sex...staying sober is only half the battle.

No. More. Sex. 

Those are the three words Lily Calloway fears the most. But Loren Hale is determined to be with Lily without enabling her dangerous compulsions. With their new living situation—sleeping in the same bed, for real, together—Lily has new battles. Like not jumping Lo’s bones every night. Not being consumed by sex and his body.

Loren plans to stay sober, to right all of his wrongs. So when someone threatens to expose Lily’s secret to her family and the public, he promises that he’ll do anything to protect her. But with old enemies surfacing, Lo has more at stake than his sobriety.

They will torment Lily until Lo breaks. 

And his worst fear isn’t relapsing. He hears the end. He sees it. The one thing that could change everything. Just three words. 

No. More. Us.

New Adult Romance recommended for readers 18+ for mature content

What I Liked

The fluid weaving in of backstory without it consuming the novel and clogging the pace. I think when you write the kind of characters who have history like these two MCs, it's easy to get bogged down with telly history. The authors do a good job of avoiding this, and the flashbacks they include are timed well to advance the story, not hinder it. 

The antagonistic characters--I actually wish we saw more of them, which is why they are likes, not loves. But they do what bad guys are supposed to do--set up hurdles and roadblocks for the MCs while simultaneously making the protags more sympathetic. They make the mysteries in book 2 more mysterious, and while I had a hint of where we were heading for the climactic reveal, I was still surprised, which doesn't happen that often to me anymore. 

What I Loved

The authenticity--as a licensed therapist who spends (at least) forty hours a week working with people who experience addiction, I feel like I'm a decent judge of authenticity on the subject. I didn't notice even a hint of inaccuracy in Book 1, Book 1.5, or Book 2 in this series, and believe me, I was looking. The authors know what they're doing--they've done their research and the authenticity is spot on. Color me impressed. 

The relatable main characters--it is really easy when writing about addiction to create characters that are despicable--selfishness, predatory behavior, stereotypical behavior, and characters who are not all that sympathetic reign in many books dealing with addiction. (I've ranted about a few of them here on my blog.) But in this series the authors do an amazing job of balancing authentically addicted characters with multidimensional, human, people who jump off the page. The fact of the matter is that addicts are people (and were people before they became addicts). They have personalities and gobs of insecurities and facets to who they are that lie outside of their vices. These are--far and away--the most multifaceted characters I've seen in this theme in a long time, maybe ever. And holy crow, if you do not fall in love with Lo by the end of Book 2 then I just can't help you.

And the minor characters, too. I was so excited to learn that we'll be getting to see some of the minor characters' stories play out in additional companion novels. Connor, in particular, is probably my favorite minor character and I cannot WAIT to see what the authors have in store for us when we get to step inside his head. (This is my not-so-subtle plea for him to be a POV character in his own story, ladies.)

That the addiction themes don't overshadow the New Adult themes, and vice versa. Particularly in Book 2 we see the Coming of Age issues the MMC and FMC are struggling with and how their addictions compound and highlight the themes that make New Adult fiction its own animal. It's a delicate, difficult balance, and for me the balance was spot on here.

What I Wanted More Of

Honestly, and I *rarely* say this, I think anything I'd put here would be nitpicking. I loved every heartbreaking moment of these books and I cannot wait to read more. This is my favorite New Adult series to date, and that's a small group, you guys. For me to say that about a CONTEMPORARY New Adult series that's set in the traditional NA (college) setting, should have you falling off your chairs and checking to see if hell froze over. 

Short story long, if you dig the books I write, read, or review on this blog, buy the hell out of these books. You won't be sorry.
