Book Review: Sweet Addiction Duet by J. Daniels

Book 1: Sweet Addiction
SYNOPSIS:
Wedding hookups never amount to anything.

Those who partake in this wicked little activity know the rules. Get in. Get laid. Get out. There's no expectation of a relationship. It is what it is.

Dylan Sparks knows the rules. She’s familiar with the protocol. And she engages in the best sex of her life with a complete stranger at her ex-boyfriend’s wedding.

Reese Carroll doesn’t care about the rules. He wants more than just one night with Dylan.

And Dylan finds him too addicting to pass up.

Sweet Addiction is the story of one woman’s struggle to keep things casual, and one man’s desire to never let her go.


Book 2: Sweet Possession
SYNOPSIS:

A sassy, in-your-face baker. A panty-stealing, dirty-talking accountant. And a bathroom quickie that changed their lives forever.

Wedding hook-ups never amount to anything.

Unless that hook-up knocks you on your ass.

For Dylan Sparks and Reese Carroll, the big day can’t arrive soon enough. Dylan, stressed to the max from overbearing mothers and last minute preparations, struggles to keep her sanity. As for Reese, he’s fighting to not only keep his bride-to-be safe from creepy investors, but also to make it to the actual wedding day without losing his mind in the process.

Throw in a crazy group of friends, and a bachelor/bachelorette party weekend getaway, and you have a recipe for the sweetest wedding of the year.

Reese Carroll and Dylan Sparks cordially invite you to read Sweet Possession.

MY REVIEW: 


 If there was an award for authors who knew exactly how to establish character connection, J. Daniels deserves the crown. The instant Reese and Dylan met, there weren't sparks. Sparks are for teenagers, love. When they met, there were fucking pyrotechnics and some really loud sexy music.

Going to her ex-boyfriend's wedding wasn't something that thrilled Dylan into attending. All she wanted was to see how people would react to the cake she made for the wedding, and she was out. But the night turned out to be something she will thank for forever when she fell on the lap of hot and handsome accountant Reese Carroll.

They spoke the same language when it came to relationships: nothing serious except serious fucking. Both of them were extremely attracted to each other so they decided to act on it without getting deeper into a relationship. But there was a problem. They can't seem to get enough. And the moment they took more, they started falling for each other.

Dylan was a sophisticated woman who wasn't exactly interested in a serious relationship. I loved her femininity, I loved how she withheld her feelings and played the woman she thought Reese wanted, but I also loved how she was transparently inlove with the man but denied it with her life for the fear of getting hurt.

Reese Carroll is a total panty-stealer. I swear to God, his royal possessive hotness was written so profoundly yet seemingly effortless. His character was one of the major shiz that got me so glued on the story and also one of the reasons why this book just blew me away. He was hot, beautifully dirty, utterly charming, attractively possessive, and a freaking great boyfriend. How J. Daniels managed to make such a beautiful contradiction work, I don't know. But thank you, J. Daniels. Thank you. My ovaries are dead but thank you.

J. Daniels has done it again, rendered me useless while reading her book. There was just something about her writing style that could suck a reader up into her world and keep her there. Her writing prowess is so interesting and entertaining that you can't seem to spare time to glance at what page you're at and just keep reading and reading and reading. Her secondary characters added up to the story's deliciousness! Juls and and Joey (even Brooke!) were characters that definitely added to my love for this book! They were funny yet sincere, loud but loving, fun-seeking but supportive, my, they could even be our representations of our very own best friends! 

Although I was completely satisfied with the first book and didn't actually need a whole book of a supposed-epilogue, I still enjoyed reading Sweet Possession. In this book, Reese and Dylan were "suffering" from waiting for the wedding day. I love that Miss J. Daniels took the liberty of writing about what happens after the book's happily-ever-after. That a love story doesn't really end up with just the proposal of marriage but goes way beyond that. Sweet Possession took me deeper into Dylan and Reese's relationship and I reveled on the mixed sensation and tension of the story. I loved Reese more in Sweet Possession. He was definitely destined to become my husband...I mean Dylan's husband ;)

I don't usually like books that has a lot of sex scenes but this steamy read has a core story and characters that a lover of sexy contemporary romance would totally love. It was sensual, sexual, wild, tame, hot, tender read with a tinge of angst and a whole bunch of romance!
