Kiss the Sky (Addicted Series)

Cute love storyI very honest depiction of emotionSlow burnDramaI enjoyed the book, read it quicklySexy and endearing

Do you think you should be able to read a spin off series without reading the original?The Calloway Sisters is the spin-off series from Krista & Becca Ritchie's Addicted series. Originally I thought Calloway Sisters came first however I was kindly told I was wrong. That being said I still think you should be able to read a spin-off series without having read the original series but I'm guessing I would have gotten on a lot better with this book had I started this in the right place.I always felt like I was on the back foot. I didn't feel like I really understood these characters as much as I should because I was missing out on the beginning of their relationship. They had an unconventional relationship with Connor convinced he wasn't and wouldn't fall in love and Rose being ok with that. I felt they had really great arcs but I just felt like I was always missing out on really understanding their relationship and their connection.I don't know if I would have felt different had I started with the right series but I never really fancied the Addicted series so I guess my journey with this series is over.

Holy crap, this book is so freaking amazing. I will try to contain myself in my review but I have to warn you now, I am seriously on a book high but I'm also feeling the inevitable book hangover now that I've finished reading Kiss the Sky.Throughout this book, I kept posting how much I am in love and lust with Connor and by the end I just wanted to have his babies!!!!***“I’ve wanted so many things in life,” he says softly, “but you’re the one that has meant the most to me.” Translation: I love you.***I have been swept away by the Addicted series and Lo and Lily's journey through their recovery from their respective addictions but I have secretly been waiting to get my hands on Rose and Connor's story the most.These books are so cleverly written and have the right balance of humour, hot sex, trauma and everyday life. I know some people get a bit obsessed with books which include a twenty something year old virgin in them but this story is so perfectly written that it works well.This story is based around the three Calloway sisters, as well as Connor, Lo and Ryke, as they film a six month long reality show in the hope to address the ongoing fallout following the unfortunate way Lily and Lo’s addictions were exposed. As the family’s companies suffer as a result of the sex and alcohol scandal, Rose is determined to try to try to turn around the lives of all those involved.Turning to ex-boyfriend Scott, Rose unwittingly enters the viper’s nest by signing a contract with him to produce their reality show. Scott becomes the catalyst to everything which goes wrong in their lives from this point forward and Rose and Connor in particular find themselves the target of his animosity.As expected, the banter between Connor and Rose continues in this story but slowly Rose’s thorns retract and Connor captures her heart so thoroughly that the sparks literally fly off the pages and by the end of their European adventure, I was a complete and utter mess and declaring my undying love for Connor! In this book you get to see a completely different side of Connor which literally caused me to fall apart!***He stares at me deeply, whispering, “Love all, trust a few, do wrong to none.” One of my favorite quotes. I turn a fraction, just enough so that our lips don’t suddenly collide. “Shakespeare,” I breathe.***Connor aside, I also love Lo’s and Ryke’s personalities and I can’t wait for more of Ryke and Daisy’s inevitable story.Krista and Becca Ritchie really need to be praised for a superbly written set of stories which have totally consumed me.Reviewed on behalf of Jezabell Girl & Friends…

God! I effing LOVE Rose & Connor!!Right, so I'm just going to get straight into the story because so far, I have been raving about this series way too much (because I love it so so much!!) in two of my previous reviews of Hothouse Flower and Thrive. So yeah, I'm just gonna get to it.So in Kiss The Sky, we get to see the whole story in Rose & Connor's point of view. I made a mistake of reading Hothouse Flower and Thrive first before reading KTS, so technically, HF and Thrive is told in different point of view but of the same story that is told in Kiss The Sky, if that makes sense. And man! I effing love this book. We get to see more of Rose & Connor in this book and I loved that. From all of the other books, I don't think we ever got to see much of Connor before. Like, he is one of the main characters and he is a huge influence on Loren, but we never really get to see who he really is.Then there's Rose. When I first started reading Addicted To You (1st book), I have to say, I absolutely hated her. I hated her because of how she hated Lo . But then she just suddenly grew on me. And then I read more of the books, then I completely fell in love with her. Rose has a bit of a temper with Lo around, but I guess they live just to annoy each other (but I'm pretty sure they love each other like brothers and sisters). But without Lo around, she is really loveable, kind and caring. She puts her sisters first, and that is really unselfish of her and I just love that so freaking much.The relationship between Connor and Rose really makes me envy them. They have this sort of relationship that can last really long without problems (but they live to try to kill each other. Connor with his smile, and Rose with her heels). I just love them so damn much! They also make me think of them as if they were the parents of Lo&Lily and Ryke&Daisy. I don't know why! They just have that sort of vibe to them!So seriously, KTS just made me fall in love with them even more and FOR EFFING HELL I CANNOT STAND IT ANY LONGER TO WAIT FOR AAA!! SERIOUSLY!! I JUST NEED IT IN MY HANDS!!! I SERIOUSLY JUST NEED TO KNOW WHAT HAPPENS NEXT!!!Okay...I have calmed....maybe...maybe not...Just leave me along while I calmly wait for AAA...Thank you very much K.B. Ritchie.I love you. ~x~

Package came in good timing, nothing wrong with the actual story but my book came damaged in the post which is really poor considering how much the book costs.
