Gather Addicted To Sin (Hard Love Romance, #1) Penned By Monica James Issued As Textbook

sexy, provocative and daring with the right dose of the quintessential bad boy ,"angelo"



"Who wants to be good, when it feels so good being bad"

This is not a "love triangle" story.
. . At least it didn't feel like one to me, . . It's a bit more complicating than that because we are dealing with some pretty messedup people as MCs.
. .

Dixon Mathews is a psychiatrist specializing in addiction, The oxymoron here is that Dixon himself "suffers" from an addiction, . . Yep, that's right, our sexy psychiatrist is a selfdiagnosed sex addict, I mean this man will do anything that moves, anytime at anyplace which is kinda gross and he even goes as far as messing around with some of his patients.
He understands how dangerous his behavior is but unfortunately he doesn't seem able or willing to help himself.




He finds himself at a crossroads when he meets two women who intrigue him.
Madison, ayear old student who is sweet, beautiful and pure and basically nothing like the women he fs and Juliet who is sexy, confident and an insatiable fellow sexaddict.
Madison has her own demons to fight and Juliet is the definition of a woman with "daddy issues".
He decides that he wants to change his life around and try to settle down with one of them.
The difficult part is who to choose Should he go with something familiar and riskfree, or should he try to put himself out there by choosing the one he really really likes but also holds the power to potentially break his heart.




Needless to say this was a very interesting and addictive read pun totally intended and the only reason i rated itinstead ofis because i figured out the twist pretty early around, so i missed the whole "holy crap, what did just happen" feeling at the end.


There were also some LOL moments, especially whenever Hunter Dixon's best friend was around!

"You're telling me a smokin' hot, gorgeous girl, was in your apartment, in your bed, and you did nothing"
"Yes, that's exactly what I'm telling you.
"
"Not even a blowjob"
"No, "
"Hand job"
"No, "
"Foreplay"
"No. "
"Making out"
"No, "
"Dryhumping"
"No. "
"What about some over the clothes touching"
"No, "
"A sexual massage, which led to some kind of skinonskin contact, which then led to some kind of penetration"
"No.
"
"Dirty pillow talk"
"No, "
"Playing footsie"
"No, "
"What about some peeping Tom action when she was sleeping"
"No, "
"Faked sexomnia"
"Fuck, you're one sick man, "

I had to share that! Hunter a, k. a Debbie is the best :

PS, This ends on a cliffhanger, . . You've been warned!

Addicting Stars!

Monica James sure kicked this series off with a bang.
Or two. Or several. Yet another one of her character creations that you just can't get enough of, Characters you can't help but love, and characters that you love to hate,



addiction uhdikshuhn
noun
.

the state of being enslaved to a habit or practice or to something that is psychologically or physically habitforming, as narcotics, to such an extent that its cessation causes severe trauma.




Dixon
Sinfully Sexy, He's a psychiatrist, Atyears of age, he helps people deal and cope with addiction, Whether it be drugs, food, or even sex, foran hour, he's your man.


Dixon is dealing with a nasty breakup that he can't seem to get over, But like they say, the way to get over someone by getting under another, In Dixon's case, he's gotten under, behind, over, next to, in front of, on top of oh, you get the idea.
He fucked. A lot. He's got the entrancing blue eyes and sparklewhenhesmiles beam, So if women are freely throwing themselves at you Why not Well, why not, until it always ends with shame, sweat and regret.
But yet, to forget his past, he has to get lost in women, It's a difficult cycle for him to break, but why break it if it brings you pleasure And if in breaking it, brings you misery Oh wait, almost sounds like an addiction, huh How ironic, being that he's specialized in dealing with those pesky things.
and he can't seem to rid himself of it,

Juliet Harte shows up for an appointment with Dixon, Juliet Harte is a bombshell of a woman if Dixon's ever seen one, And as aforementioned, he's seen them, She's dealing with an addiction, and I'm not quite sure if she's ever really wanted to conquer this addiction The stunning, sexual and incredibly sexy Juliet is addicted to sex.
To say Juliet understands the meaning of forward is an understatement, During her session, she makes sure that she puts it all out on the table for Dixon.
That way he has not one iota of an excuse to be confused of her intentions, He definitely likes what he's seeing, Well, other than that whole patientdoctor thing, But what's consequences to an addiction,





Madison
The Girl Next Door, She a student, who's smart, innocent, and witty, But with her innocence comes a dark past, One she's trying to leave behind her but finds herself battling a difficult battle,
Madison runs into Dixon the same day of Dixon's encounter with Juliet, and there's an immediate attraction between the two.
They hang out and have a good time in each other's company, Which is odd for Dixon he doesn't hang out with girls, Madison is trying to open up to Dixon but her demons still have a strong hold on her.
Her beautiful soul shows through with the internal battle she faces and the faces she wears for show.
As she softens up to the idea of Dixon, Dixon comes to the conclusion he wants other things in life.
His addiction. While there was definitely attraction at first sight, I love that Monica didn't give them the instalove relationship.
The road for the both of them, whether they're together or not, is a bumpy one.
They're having to battle issues of their own as well as together,






The steam did not disappoint,
Yes, there were some frustrating moments when I read this book, but I still adored the story.
The twist was fairly easy to predict, but yet there were still sprinkles of surprises that popped up to keep the story intriguing.
The characters were well developed and I felt an almostinstant connection to them with how each character is introduced even the secondary characters.
The flow of the story was effortless, even with the time lapses, Word to the wise, however, this ends with a bitchin' cliffhanger,

I definitely recommend this to readers who want angst and steam,

Monica James has created another character that I couldnt get enough of,

Dr. Dixon Mathews is a character you cant help loving, even though you know you shouldnt, Hes brass and can be crude at times, and makes no apologies for it, But I couldnt help feeling there was an underlying vulnerability that he was trying to hide, even from himself.
I loved Dixon, flaws and all, His relationships with the two women are vastly different and although he thinks he is only worthy of one of them, he still dares to pursue the other.


Dr. Dixon Mathews kept me addicted until the very last pagesexy,
To be honest, I was hesitate to pick up Dirty Dix, I thought this is a love triangle with OTT drama, At the end I just picked it up, And I am blown away by Miss James,

She proofing herself as a talented writer, Dixon is a complicated hero, He is faced withdecision aboutwomen in his life, And Dirty Dix delivered. It packed with so many drama, tragedy and twisted plot here and now, Although Miss James dropping spoiler here and now through out her story,

I usually do not like too many drama/ plot since it will distract me from the main story.
In Dirty Dix, it is actually quite opposite, It brings the story alive,

ARC kindly provided for the exchange of an honest review from Netgalley

This was a great story on so many different levels! First of all, the book is mainly written from Dixon's POV there are few chapters that are written from Madison's POV but it's just to get a small glimpse of the reason for everything that was happening.
It was fantastic to be in Dixon's head, Men can definitely think totally differently than women and Dixon proves it, Actually the congratulations should go to the author who pulled this out amazingly!

I have to say that the story is not predicable and not written in the classic romantic way.
There is lots of honesty in this book, For example, how men are dealing with heartbreak, how relationships work or not and so much more,

Dixon and Madison are great heroes! Dixon is not the knight on the shinning armor and he knows it.
I love this about him, He also has issues but he tries to face them in his way, Madison is a walking contradiction in my eyes, Although she appears self confident and well aware of what she wants, she has hard time to open up when it mattered most.
Their chemistry is exploding!

The end of the book took my breath away, It was a real cliff hanger, I was screaming in my head NO NO NO NO NO! I couldn't believe what was written in the last chapter! I definitely recommend this book to

everyone who loves erotica books without flowers and hearts!.
