Addicted

By: Zane

Narrated by: Nicole Small

Length: 8 hrs and 44 mins

Publisher's summary

A woman’s sexual obsession will be her downfall—or her liberation.

For successful African American businesswoman Zoe Reynard, finding the pleasure she wants, the way she wants it, is not worth the risk of losing everything she has: marriage to the man she has loved since childhood, a thriving company, three wonderful children. But Zoe feels helpless in the grip of an overpowering addiction—to sex.

Finding a compassionate woman therapist to help her, Zoe finally summons the courage to tell her torrid story, a tale of guilt and desire as shocking as it is compelling. From the sensitive artist with whom she spends stolen hours on rumpled sheets to the rough and violent man who draws her toward destruction, Zoe is a woman desperately searching for fulfillment—and something darker, deeper, and perhaps deadly. As her life spins out of control and her sexual escapades carry her toward a dangerous choice, Zoe is racing against time to uncover the source of her “fatal attraction.” Chilling secrets tumble forth from the recesses of a woman’s mind, and perilous temptations lead toward a climax that can threaten her sanity, her marriage—and her life.

I really enjoy Zanes books and this was another one that did not dissapoint!!! Looking forward to more of Zane!!

Makes a good first listener.

This book was not just your typical drama where you can guess the whole story line. It had twist and surprises. I think it makes a good first listener book. Especially if you enjoy a good lifetime movie and trying to get into reading. There was enough going on to make you want to keep listening. The narration of the book was very believable. It is a book for a mature listening audience. It central truth is how one decision can change your whole life.

A Very Captivating Tale

Where does Addicted rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I give this story a 5 Star rating among the audiobooks that I've listened too. It was really a good story I never wanted to turn it off. But, of course, there were times where I had to stop. I especially liked the narrator she was excellent. A narrator can make or break an audiobook.

Who was your favorite character and why?

The story is about Zoe and her addiction. She was my favorite character hands down. This book was full of action and all the action had something to do with Zoe in one way or the other. It was romantic how Zoe and her Husband fought to stay together. Only true love could get a couple through the challenges they were faced with.

Have you listened to any of Nicole Small’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

This is the first Nicole Small performance that I've listened to. Like I've already mentioned she's was very good. She's Awesome!

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When Zoe was talking with her doctor about her problem and she was so mad about messing with men who were not her husband. She needed to know why she was doing this to her husband. And, she really got upset with the doctor and accused the doctor of suggesting that she cheat on her husband. I believe, it was at this point that I actually realized that she had a sickness and that Zoe really could not control her bad behavior.

Any additional comments?

Really good story. Kudos to the storyteller, Zane!

Great

This was a great read. I really enjoyed this book. I have read this book twice and I will recommend

wish I had never started this book.

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Wouldn't recommend unless you're accustomed to listening to foul-mouthed female sailors all day. Unfortunately I hated the book but loved the movie... probably because the movie didn't "sound" like the book.

What did you like best about this story?

The message and how wicked the webs people can weave in their lives.

Would you be willing to try another one of Nicole Small’s performances?

Nah...

Any additional comments?

sorry.... I'm not really a prude, I mean I thoroughly enjoyed 50 Shades, but the language the author used in this book made me feel "dirty" for even reading it.

Entertaining and educational

I really enjoyed this book. It kept my attention while also teaching me about sexual addiction. Good listen.
