“I’m not sure I’ve ever loved anyone, but if love means feeling like the Earth is going to eat you whole at the thought of never seeing them again, if love means feeling unable to be yourself without the one you love, then maybe that’s what I’m starting to feel for you.” “I don’t want to mend you. I just want to be there for you while you do it yourself.” Noah is 23 years old and a big brother. That’s probably how he would describe himself, since no job is as important as being a big brother to Jimmy, all while struggling with the depression and anxiety he’s learned to control the best he can. He’s lived in the same small town his entire life, kept away both from danger and pleasure, and everything else the world has to offer. Daniel is a 30 year-old third-grade teacher with a secret. Apparently perfect, damage and addiction hide behind his fabricated front. He’s troubled, he’s mean, he’s controlling and dominant. And most importantly, he’s straight. He doesn’t love anything besides his job, and his human interactions consist of using people to satisfy his needs. When life brings Noah and Daniel together, a peculiar arrangement is formed, pushing both men to new limits. Will Noah learn to step out of his comfort zone and take control of his life? Will Daniel defeat his demons? The characters in this book are flawed and troubled, but they do their best as they try to figure out their lives, learning about addiction, lust, and love, and falling for each other in the process. Addicted is a steamy, standalone gay-for-you romance novel with a HEA. It contains scenes that are only suitable for adult readers.

The book had 1959 locations on my kindle. The book was about 2 men, Daniel and Noah. Daniel was a 30 year old straight, divorced alcoholic teacher. Noah was a sort of sad, 23 year old caring, gay man, who looked after his brother. The book contained some rough oral sex and rough anal sex. I wasn't thrilled with either character. Daniel was self absorbed, selfish, man whore, who slept with a different woman every night, He used Noah, with no thought to Noah's needs. Noah needed more of a back bone. He jumped when Daniel called and allowed Daniel to use him, kept coming back for more. Overall I needed Noah to be more stronger and Daniel to be a bit more sensitive. I wasn't too thrilled about the way the book ended.Product details

Addicted Mark Summers Books Reviews
I have mixed feelings about this story. When it first started out, I had it in my head that the story would progress in a particular way--older, presumedly straight guy meets younger, gay guy, friendship and later a relationship develops and so on. Not so much with this one. I was a bit unhappy with Daniel's behavior towards Noah because honestly I found it to be disrespectful. The fact that Noah openly accepted it made me think he was wanting for attention if he was willing to engage in the arrangement Daniel offered him.
But...they are both adults-even if Noah is very young and inexperienced-and if they're both willing and in the arrangement voluntarily, that is their business...even if I don't agree with it.
The story itself progresses at a good pace, and has a good cast of supporting characters. I particularly liked Noah's brother Jimmy-he's remarkably astute and a bit precocious, and is a welcome voice in this story. I didn't really care for Noah and Jimmy's parents-their attitude towards their children is baffling, especially given how wonderful both Noah and Jimmy are. As for Daniel's ex-wife? I am not fond of using the word hate to describe my feelings, but "dislike" is nowhere near strong enough to explain my thoughts toward this nasty woman.
I did like the story overall, though I would have preferred more closure to Noah and Daniel's tale. It felt a bit open-ended, so a more thorough epilogue would have settled my mind more about how their relationship developed and ended up. As it stands right now, this is a 3-star read for me. Addicted is meant for readers 18+ for adult language and M/M sexual content.
I received this ARC in exchange for an honest review. What drew me to the books was the prospect of reading a romance between a third grade teacher, Mr Daniel Harris and a 23 year old, Noah who takes great care of his much younger brother, Orange (Jimmy). Initially the story came across as very introspective. Both MCs seemed to be deep thinkers. The author provided alternating chapters that allowed the reader to get to know each protagonist separately, then experiencing how they interacted with each other.
I was surprised by how the last quarter of the book went. I am so glad I was reading this ARC because it forced me to finish the book. I wish the rest of the book was more like the last part, but it's my fault for not reading the complete book synopsis. I usually don't. I tend to just skim them so that I am surprised when I actually read the book. The reason I read gay romances is so I am not exposed to the raunchy, vulgar activities between MF characters in many contemporary romances. Imagine my surprise when there was more than one scene of rough sex between heterosexual characters. Be forewarned the divorced third grade teacher is a sex addict. Bedding a different woman most nights. The summary clearly states that Daniel was not a nice person. Believe it!!
Being a good guy was just a front so people wouldn't know just how mean, nasty, and no good Daniel was. He could be impulsive and dangerous, especially when he was drinking heavily. Then there was the smoking that steadily increased from the occasional one to nearly a pack a day. It began to take rougher and rougher sex to satisfy him, but only momentarily. This book took me completely out of my comfort zone, but it's ending made me see the skill of the author to make a despicable character sympathetic.
And there was little submissive, quiet, needy, dedicated big brother Noah. A vehemently denied attraction. An unwanted attraction. An undeniable mutual addiction. We could see a train wreck coming. Because Noah was so much more. He had an inner core of steel. Don't mess with his little brother, his annoying coworker, or his heart. He makes shocking decisions and expects something in return. Seemingly inexplicable, but he saw things no one else did and gave all of himself. His love was unconditional. A love that saved and healed both Daniel and Noah.
