Ryke, or the authors, kept rationalizing his behavior as “abrasive”, that he’s a hothead and I don’t remember what, but it’s no excuse. I understand that Daisy is now a legal adult, so whatever flirtatious banter and other activities that she and Ryke do are no longer concerning, but when the events of the previous books are still fresh in your mind, you can’t help but notice how wrong it all is, especially since the supporting characters did nothing to separate them. Except Lo. Honestly, how did Rose not disapprove of their friendship, I’ll never understand. I thought i could count on Rose to put Ryke in his place. This is PERFECTION!!This is one of the best book I have ever read!So many feelings...an amazing journey!I'm so in love with the characters!Ryke and Daisy are so dynamic together!They are perfect for each other.I didn't want it to end!It was a long book but I wouldn't have problem if there were more!I hope the authors decide to write another book for them!! also, i really like how Ryke knew that Daisy felt like a third wheel when it comes to her sisters and tries everything to make her feel included and treats her like an actual adult unlike others *cough* Lo *cough*. and i do appreciate how he just lets her be and goes with her wild af antics, being all proud and shiii. it's cute. Julia Forrester has many happy memories of a childhood spent at Wharton Park, playing amongst the exotic flowers her grandad cared for.

i think i could live underneath ryke meadows, under his weight and protection, and be satisfied for life.” Addicted series is interconnected with two spin-offs. The authors have written the books in 4 “phases”. Each phase is a complete story line with a satisfying enough conclusion. It's official. Hothouse Flower is my favorite book in the series so far. And RAISY is my favorite OTP!

it wasn't satisfying when they finally got together because of this shit like at least add more grovelling scenes or more push and pull between them where it's Daisy's turn to reject him i don't know. i just wasn't satisfied because i've been waiting for these two to get together and then this shit happens and then they get together right away? no thanks.

He’s my last real friend. But I know that’s not entirely true. He’s the only real one I’ve ever had. Loren is literally the most selfish person ever, and I don’t really care if it’s because he’s an addict. I mean, doesn’t everyone have a reason for being the way they are? It doesn’t make them any less of an arsehole. alexa play “my heart will go on” by céline dion. *starts screaming* NEAR, FARRR, WHEREVER YOU AREEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!! sorry just a little titanic moment hahaha.Also, why does Loren think he has the right to be this ridiculously overprotective of Daisy? He hardly even knows her (like, seriously, their relationship is extremely shallow and superficial) and he’s not even her brother. Daisy’s ACTUAL sisters didn’t have a problem with her and Ryke being together, so what the actual hell was this idiot’s problem? I mean, I understand he’s about as narcissistic as one can possibly be, but MY DUDE, this is in no way, shape or form about you!! Stop making yourself the victim all the damn time. Like, he hasn’t helped Daisy with any of her problems, EVER, while Ryke was there 24/7, helping her (and helping Loren too, by the way) in any way he could, but somehow Loren still thinks he has the moral high ground here? Like Daisy is just that important to him? And not to Ryke?? God, how I hate this man and how nobody ever calls him out for his horrendous behaviour. DAISY I love Daisy, my sunshine, my stargirl. I resonate with her so much, I feel like out of all the sisters, she reminds me of myself the most. She’s in this constant state of trying to stray from the path her parents and sisters have put her on and find her voice. It’s lovely to see this new perspective: not choosing something that feels like a smart path doesn’t have to result in a disaster. And also, you can still be excited about life even if that same life has disappointed you many times. I won’t spoil much, but I sympathize with Daisy so much, I feel like her suffering has been dismissed a lot by the people around her, and it’s beautiful to see how Ryke is that one person who never forgets about her. She went through trauma and abuse caused by both her parents and the “fans”.

Now, recovering from a family tragedy, she seeks comfort once more at Wharton Park, newly inherited by the charismatic Kit Crawford, with a sad story of his own.ryke was the only one who was truly there for daisy, and vice versa!! he supported her through everything, he was always, always understanding of her and her needs bc he knew her the best. 🥺 i just - he's everything. The Addicted series started strong and it just keeps getting better and better. These characters feel so real to me and I am fully invested in their stories. The writing is fantastic, the romance is hot, the character building is phenomenal, and with each book the story keeps my heart racing from start to finish.

I WAS SCEPTICAL ABOUT THIS ONE, but it was nothing short of five stars. MY UNDYING LOVE for this series and all these characters will someday end me. i mean, daisy just teased him while he was so grumpy and asshole-ish on the outside but the way he melted for her, eurgh the most satisfying moment in this book. and the way ryke thinks daisy's the sun?? the way he was so devoted to her right from the first moment he saw her?? ngl, he owns me. 😌 I was full invested in ever word of the story. Oh, and the last 20% of the book was just one big reveal or omigosh moment after another. Like really -- my heart was pounding!!!!!!!! And while there was a wrapped up ending with no cliffhanger, there were also some new developments that beautifully set up the last two books of the series which'll be released in the next few months. I absolutely adore the direction the story is heading in and I can't wait to read more! two characters FINALLY being together after impatiently watching them be a couple even though they're not a couple for 4 books??

Success!

also the way ryke slept beside her to shield her from her nightmares - it was so unbearably adorable!! he helped her ptsd and insomnia so so much and the way they just were with each other - they're everything. 😭 BUT, age aside, i found high appreciation for the true care they have for each other. daisy is going through a tough time and ryke’s there every step of the way. they honestly make a great match personality-wise since they both have that desire for adrenaline just in different ways. daisy makes me want to be more of a free spirit. i love her determination to do what makes her feel alive despite the judgements of others! ryke, on the other hand, gives frat boy energy but he’s got good intentions that i grew to appreciate. also the ending has two major surprises (i guessed one of them but the other??? wow.) so i cannot wait to see where that leads.
