Wow but not in a great way!

I love EK Blair...LOVE HER...BUT...I didn’t love this story. It was too boring in the beginning and the sex addition discovery should’ve come a lot earlier in the book. Not only that but the ending was ridiculous. It came out of left field and was uncalled for. There was already a lot going on and didn’t need to occur. So many different things going on with this book that I don’t think I’ll get the next one. The good news is, it’s not as bad as being reincarnated into a damn caterpillar! 😂

Loved it!

This book sucked me in from the very beginning and kept me interested until the end. I'm so glad I have part 2 already downloaded and ready to be listened to because the ending has a big cliffhanger, and I can't wait to see how it all ends. I really connected with the characters and loved the dual POV with Adaline and Kason. The narration was excellent. Jacob and Elena are two of my favorite narrators. They do an amazing job bringing the characters to life. I highly recommend this book!

CRAVE

No matter how many times I have listened (about 6 or 7 times) to this story, it gets better and better and better......you don't want to miss it!
Oh ! You have to listen to " CRAVE two" to know the conclusion to the story.

Not your typical EK Blair book

I enjoyed this book. Kason a boy who thought he was from the wrong side of the tracks and Addie a privileged young woman, but was sweet and unassuming fall for each other from the day they met. Till Addie is devastated by what she feels is Kasons betrayal of their love. After several weeks Kason enlightens Addie with his reasons, they resume the relationship against her friends wishes, but The Heart will have what the Heart wants.
This is not a typical E. K. Blair story, this was more a young adult read, but it deals with a topic that could go into any age category.

I bought Crave 2 immediately after listening!!

I wasn't sure if I would like this because the characters start out in high school. I've enjoyed many E.K Blair book's but never a YA. I'm happy to say I was pleasantly surprised. The characters were interesting enough for me to want to keep listening. The childish drama that normally accompanies most YA listens was low. This book has very adult situations in it. If you have issues with sex addiction, cheating, and rape this probably isn't the book for you. I enjoyed this book so much that I listened straight through. Be fair warned though, you will have to part with 2 credits because part 1 abruptly ends & Part 2 picks up where it ends.

EK BLAIR IS UNSTOPPABLE!!!!

Oh my god!!! This book was just WOW!! Not at all what I expected!!!

EK Blair is a mastermind! She writes like her words are made of gold!! It's magical and ridiculously creative! This story is like nothing I've ever read before. The emotional ride tore at my heartstrings. I cried and yelled, screamed and shouted. Everything I could feel and emotions I didn't know I possessed were all there digging at me with vicious claws and sparks of electricity!

Every feeling imaginable will run through your blood, pumping and feeding your need to read more more more.

I felt it all. I'm telling you, I was ripped to shreds with this story.

I literally just finished this book and my heart is POUNDING!!!!!

I have a pit in my stomach from the emotional rollercoaster this book put me through.

A MUST READ!!!!!!!!!

Jacob Morgan and Elena Wolfe were fantastic!!

Jacob Morgan had me in tears with his performance as Kason.

I swear this book is EPIC!!!

Need next audiobook ASAP!!

This was a new author to me. I bought this audiobook based on the blurb and narrators and was very surprised at how well written it was. There are very sensitive trigger issues in this story, so be forewarned if that could bother you. The hero of the story has a problem with a sex addiction and the heroine is a naive girl who just moved into the school district. They meet her first day of school and after a bit they become inseparable. There are a lot of problems between them regarding sex and intimacy that they have to work out. This book ended in a HUGE cliffhanger! Narration was excellent and I hope the author produces the next audiobook very soon! It is one of those OMG cliffhangers, lol.

Why? Oh Why? So Frustrating!

This book had me captivated from the beginning. Great story, well-developed characters, rare subject matter, the works. I listened to most of it in one day and couldn't wait to finish the last couple chapters this morning. An hour later, I am just mad.
I understand wanting to provide anticipation and even wanting to increase sales/profit, but I listen to books for the love of reading. When a story stops abruptly in the middle of it, I will most likely not get the next book. I read so many audiobooks that I will not remember the story and would have to go back and "re-listen" to the first book. It's just not cool. At least release the books at the same time. As great as this book was, I won't purchase the next if it doesn't come out very soon. :( Disappointed listener!!!

WAYYYY to YA for me, DNF

I love this author so it was an automatic purchase, but i am returning. The characters are only 18, and the whole story was too juvenile for me.
