Publisher's Summary

As a sex addict, Lily Calloway must do the impossible. Stay celibate for 90 days. Cravings and fantasies become her new routine, but while Loren Hale recovers from his alcohol addiction, Lily wonders if he'll realize what a monster she really is. After all, her sexual compulsions begin to rule her life the longer she stays faithful to him. Progress. That's what Lily's striving for. But by trying to become closer to her family - people who aren't aware of her addiction - she creates larger obstacles. When she spends time with her youngest sister, she learns more about her than she ever imagined and senses an unsettling connection between Daisy and Ryke Meadows.

With Lily and Lo's dysfunctional relationship teetering and unbalanced, they will need to find a way to reconnect from miles apart. But the inability to "touch" proves to be one of the hardest tests on their road to recovery. Some love brushes the surface. Some love is deeper than skin. Lily and Lo have three months to discover just how deep their love really goes.

For the most fulfilling listening experience, the Calloway Sisters series should be listened to along with the Addicted series.

A crucial book in the series!

Would you consider the audio edition of Ricochet to be better than the print version?

I really need this series to become a TV series and the Audiobooks took me a little close to that. It is awesome.

What did you like best about this story?

So many amazing moments, the therapy sessions, the beggining of Raisy!!! Coballoway bits, seeing how strong Lily is in these months without Lo and how sweet he is with her now.

Which character – as performed by Erin Mallon – was your favorite?

She is Lily, so... I actually loved the narrator's performance, she's done the book justice once again.

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

The part when Lily is in terapy and she finds out why she is an addict is so amazing, so important and crucial for this series! Krista and Becca Ritchie actually speak to us on a emotional level.

Any additional comments?

I think we all can relate to the characters in a way and seeing them grow and heal together is pretty amazing.

Equally great in the series

This is the 2nd book in this series and you need to listen to the previous to dive into this one. In this book, Lo has gone to rehab and Lily is trying to get herself together as well.

This book is smart and thought provoking as well as sweet and loving and kind and understanding. I find myself putting off my other reading just so I can listen to this series and when I'm not listening, my thoughts are absorbed in it.

Definitely worth the credit.

perfect balance

A perfect balance of sex and emotion. Sexual tension without a release button. I found myself both craving Lily and pitying her

Favorite everything!

Erin Mallon is such a great pick for Lily, she captivates her perfectly + she does amazing voices for the rest of the characters as well - even the guys! She's become my favorite narrator, and it's only fitting she's narrating my favorite character in my favorite series :D

I really do love this series with all my heart, and would recommend it to anyone - the entire series, audio or otherwise. And especially if you're like me and enjoy real and flawed, but still completely lovable characters, and love watching as they grow and work through their struggles - together. It's heavy and emotional, and so incredibly gratifying when they come out on top. To break up all the underlying heavy, there is of course also lots of banter, fun and awkward moments sprinkled everywhere. Lily's inner monologue is pretty priceless :D

Lo and Lily

Excellent book. Excellent series. The narrator did a great job and the books are addictive! I can't wait for the next book /Audible book.

AWESOME SERIES

I love this series. This narrator is one of my favorites now. It is so much more than I dreamed it would be!!!!!

Loved it!

It was sexy, insightful, funny and made me want more! Cannot wait to read the rest of the series!

A good continuation of the story

Book two picks up were book one left off. As with book one the subject matter is very heavy. This one shows more of the aftereffect of being stuck in an addiction for so long. Like book one if you're ready for something a little heavier go ahead and go for it. I think I'll be taking a break before I hit book three. It is a nice change of pace for the New adult genre.

Just a filler

I gave this 4 stars even though it wasn't a "great" book. It was a book that really did need to be read just to get a feel for the past and how their new future will start

Loved it!!!

What did you like about this audiobook?

I love the narration and getting to experience the story again through an audiobook.

Do you have any additional comments?

I've read the book months before listening to the audiobook. It was fun getting to relive everything again. I love the story and I love getting to experience the characters' developments alongside them. :)
