I’m a sinner with no regrets. I’m a man with no shame. I’m a lover with no soul. What am I? You’re a loner with no friends. You’re a beggar with no place to go. You’re a face with no name. Who are you?It doesn’t really matter what I am or who you are. Everyone has sin in common. But I pride myself on doing it better. Through the eyes of another, I am envied. If they only knew the wrath I have … endured. Greed can be a motherfucker, but it is what makes us strive to be better. Lust can make you burn, but without it you would freeze to death. Some of us are a glutton for punishment and want to feel the pain that reminds us we’re still alive rather than overcome by sloth.The lure of these seven deadly sins is like an addiction. And I intend to indulge in each of these unforgivable sins.

This book was such an amazing book to read. Dang woman I want Case!!! There are not enough words to express how I feel. So well written and had me wanting more.
5 ADDICTION STARS!!! I was addicted to this book like a drug. I could not get Case and Taylor story out of my brain….I dreamed about them. Their story is full of suspense, lies, heartbreak, friendship and don’t let me forget….surprises. Shantel Tessier has gained a reader for life with her addicting words. You need to download this Book…..it is so good.
What a wild ride this one was! A dark and dangerous romance by Shantel Tessier. This book certainly lives up to its title in all ways.
Taylor is over her father’s antics that keep getting him into trouble, the late night calls…police station visits. She basically refuses to bail him out this time, telling him she’s done. Her brother Blane, unwilling to turn his back on their father worries over how they will get their father out of jail. After Blane makes a deal with a known drug dealer, Case; Taylor is immediately sucked into this dark world as well. Case and his buddy Brecken are nightclub owners and drug dealers; living the dark life and all that entails. These two are holding onto secrets and the further Taylor gets pulled into the dark world they live in the more dangerous it becomes for her.
The attraction between her and Case is intense from the start but the more they are around each other the more lines blur and she finds herself ALL IN!
Betrayal and deception around every corner!
Addiction is book 1 in the Seven Deadly Sins; a series of standalones.
Taylor is trying to get through her last year of college when her Dad throws her life into turmoil. Who knew one phone call could change the course of your boring life?
Taylor lives with her brother, Blane, and his girlfriend/her best friend Savannah. Blane decides to help their dad out after Taylor refuses to get involved with her Dad’s life. Blane’s new job leads to Taylor crashing into Cases life. After going to night club with Savannah to see what Blane is up to Taylor meets Case who is the very definition of Bad Boy. He is hot as h***, and bad as sin.
Taylor and Case are wrong for each other in all the right ways, and they can’t keep away from each other. When Taylor gets a job at Case’s night club they really can’t stay away from each other. Case has a soft spot for Taylor that no one has seen. There are lots of twists, turns, and turmoil in this book that kept me on the edge of my seat until the last page.
Shantel’s ability to keep a reader in suspense is an art. I have not been able to predict what is coming next with her books. This is how I know that an author has phenomenal talent. I would love to be able to peak inside her head to see how she comes up with her characters.
This was a great read. It was dark, suspenseful and full of angst! I was look forward to reading this authors work!
Addiction is at the center of Taylor’s life. Blane thinks he has a way to fix everything. Case feeds the addictions but lives a life of lies. Rachel is f*cking crazy! I need to know more about Brecken. Can he have his own book? Lots of twists and steamy, hot sex! Shantel Tessier just does NOT disappoint when she tells you a story.
This is my second read into the works of Shantel and this girl knows how to keep her readers engaged! The title fits the story-line perfectly and I appreciate a plot that has so much suspense that you’re dying to solve the mystery. The action and drama only add fuel to the blazing fire of this story!
Taylor and Blane are two siblings making their way through a tough life and trying to start fresh when a call from their father turns their life upside down. These two were meant to follow in their father’s footsteps! Life takes a turn when Blane makes a deal with Case (a well-known club owner/drug dealer) and trouble comes lurking when Taylor gets involved.
Taylor and Case have to fight to control their feelings for each other, but the banter and tension between these two makes for some steamy goodness! And I do mean STEAMY GOODNESS!!!
And don’t think for one minute that I forgot about my man Brecken. Case and Brecken are the ultimate best friend pairing. The history these two share was prt of the highlight of this book, and I look forward to reading on to book 2!!!
*heart eyes*
Oh wow! This book was no what I was expecting. I went in completely blind…something I don’t normally do. I’ve read a few of Shantel’s newer books and I’ve loved everything I’ve read by her so far so I figured I’d make my way through the rest of her books. Addiction is a little more slow paced than I typically go for but the build up was phenomenal! Most books that are slow paced end up going the same way, where all the action happens at the end. Addiction wasn’t like that. The first 30% was a bit slow but Shantel kept throwing little bones in there to keep you into it. Then BAM! Stuff starts happening, plots start twisting, and you’re just like “wait, what?!” And don’t get me started on how hot and steamy Case is. Holy Moly he will have you melting!!! Taylor was a little too naive for me at first and there’s one part where I felt she overreacted a bit but it wasn’t to the point it affected the book and she didn’t drone on and on. She pulled her big girl britches up and got her man. Anyway! This book was amazing and I’m now off to go read Brecken’s story!
Fantastic. I’m not sure what else to say! It was what I have come to expect from Shantel’s writing. I’m excited to delve into more!
This author keeps my eyes pealed until the end! I loved this book. It’s my second by her, and it was really good.
I found Case and Taylor to be so realistic. Their story was so emotional. Between the lies, and real life and death situations, I spent the whole time holding my breath. I don’t want to give it away so I won’t say too much. She is definitely an author to read!
OMG!
You will never guess what happens in Addicted and there’s no point in me telling you cause you’d probably never believe me anyway.
Shantel wrote a book full of plot twists, suspense, mystery and steamy times! 😉
Taylor, Case, Blake… let’s just say I got pretty attached to these characters too.
Very strongly recommended! And a beautiful cover too 🙂
This book took a little longer for me to get into, but once I did I was hooked. Case had dealt with more loss at one time than any person should and only had his best friend by his side both just going through the motions of daily life. Until one day Taylor came around and turned Case’s world around. There is a lot in this book that I didn’t see coming, a lot of love, fighting, making up you name it. I recommend reading this book.
Want to read a book that is sexy, hot and will keep you guessing til the end? Then this is the book for you, I could not put this down, I needed to uncover the truth to each twist and turn and there is a lot! Sexy alpha men and sassy females make this book a must read!
I really enjoyed this book! Told in 3 different POV’s. There was a lot of drama, angst and romance. Can’t wait to read Breckens book!
