Review

I saw the amazing ratings CLAIMING ADDISON had on Amazon and Goodreads and thought I’d grab a copy. Rockstars and threesomes with some M/M action thrown in? Sounds like it could be a good read. And it was good, up to a point.

My main issue with this story is Addison. Don’t get me wrong, she’s a perfectly fine character. However, this is a woman who, for the past several years, has been successfully working her way up the corporate ladder. Her current assignment with 69 Bottles is an amazing opportunity, and if she can pull it off, it’ll be great for her career. But in under 24 hours of her arrival, she’s allowing every member of the band to kiss and grope her before they go out on stage??? And then by day three or four she’s sleeping with two of them??? I find it hard to believe that a woman who was the ultimate professional would suddenly throw her professionalism out the window. I also thought it was odd that her bosses know she’s sleeping with two members of the band, and they don’t care.

CLAIMING ADDISON is part of a series and is told in Addison’s, Talon’s and Kyle’s POVs. The sex was hot and I liked the story well enough, even though I felt it moved a bit slowly. While the book doesn’t really end on a cliffhanger, it does just end, because apparently this threesome’s story will be told over three books. I assumed that each book would be a standalone, and I’m regretting that I didn’t research this series a little more before I started. I just don’t think I have it in me to read about the same threesome over three books, not when I didn’t love the first book.
