Addicted

Ethan Frost, Book 2

By: Tracy Wolff

Narrated by: Tess Chalmers

Ethan Frost is everything a woman could want in a man. He's rich, gorgeous, powerful, and one of the most eligible bachelors in the world. But that's not why I'm with him. I love Ethan for all the things no one else gets to see: his innate kindness, his reckless spontaneity, his unwavering determination to use his brilliance for good. I love the way he looks at me, the way he touches me, the way he makes me forget the wreckage of my past and the twisted fear that still lives inside me. But sometimes it terrifies me how much I crave him, how much I need him just to breathe. I always thought it would be my past that ruined us, but there's a darkness in Ethan I never dreamed existed. Can we survive as his secrets surface - threatening to unravel us both?

Contains mature themes.

Content Warnings
Graphic: Rape, Sexual assault, Sexual content

Moderate: Bullying, Classism

Chloe and back for another book. This book I liked and disliked. Chloe really needs to see someone about her past and her present. Her forget about it, bury the past, lock it away take really isn't healthy and continues to cause issues for her and Ethan. Ethan, you gotta love the idiot. He obviously needs a therapist of his own to deal with his issues also and to learn to communicate. There was lots of spice but it (honestly) got boring. 4/5 for spice but there really needs to be more to a book, a story than spice and arguments.

Better

For some reason the narrator was better on this one. The story is great! I would definitely recommend if you can get past the narration.

I WAS ADDICTED TO EVERY EMOTIONAL WORD

Well, it's one shock after another with this listen as Ethan's involvement in Chloe's past comes back to haunt him and causes further hurt, mind blowing devastation and jaw dropping twists. There's so much pain over betrayal, anguish over forgiveness, joy over reuniting, hot sex over their raw feelings and then crashing despair over a final bitter truth.

Ethan and Chloe have an obsessive, overwhelming and all consuming love for each other (as well as a hot sexual relationship) but secrets that are kept back means that can these two ever learn to trust again. There's once again a roller coaster of pain, heartache, unity, tender touching words, followed by words of betrayal and shame but always there's words of love.... but sometimes the wound cuts too deep to heal.... and then words are not enough.

Worth a credit? Oh, this is so expertly written as the joy, pain and raw emotions are felt by the listener and, once again, this is told from Chloe's POV (except the Epilogue) and the narration was great. It is a happy ending, no cliffhanger, but the story will continue in Exposed (due May) when we get to hear how Ethan exacts his revenge. This drama filled listen was a very addictive, a just one more chapter listen and YES very worthy of a credit or buy.

Not as good as book one

I am a bit confused in this story because they keep saying Brandon raped her when Chad actually raped her. It doesn't make sense to have such anger for Ethan. Chloe started becoming annoying to me. I was disappointed.

Conflicted

I really did like listening to this book and the first one. I definitely don’t regret it and overall it was pretty enjoyable... With that said, I won’t be finishing the series.
The problem I have had with this whole story is how the trauma and outcome is portrayed so poorly and unrealistically. Annnnndd how freaking batsh*t Chloe is. I found myself getting downright mad at some of the things she said/did. The whiplash is real with this one. One minute everything is perfect and Ethan is so amazing and she thinks she can make it work.. then the next she can’t do it anymore and she’s spiraling into the depths of despair.. because he did exactly what she wanted! WHAT?! Ugh.
It was honestly hard to finish this book because it was so back and forth, so suddenly, that I couldn’t keep up half the time. I kept having to repeat chapters because I was confused what Ethan did wrong this time!
