Publisher's summary

“Lead us not into temptation....”

Dr. Will Montgomery had already given in to his temptations. He’d tasted the forbidden fruit again and again for months. Despite the obstacles in his way, he claimed the beautiful Charlotte Pierce and fell head over heels in love. She was finally his. But a stolen love, a forbidden love, comes at a price. And in the aftermath of their affair, Will finds himself backed into a corner, desperate for an escape from the chaos.

Chaos that threatens to destroy him and reveal the secrets he’d kept hidden. Secrets that may just cost him everything. And if there’s one thing Dr. Will Montgomery should have learned by now, it's that the truth always comes out.

Bittersweet Addiction is the final part of the Bittersweet Duet.

Love’s the Sweetest Addiction!

Bittersweet Addiction picks up right where Surrender left off! Will and Charlie’s relationship is revealed and now the two are left to pick up the pieces. There are consequences for both Will and Charlie and it’s a question of if they will survive. Tensions were high in this one. QB Tyler had my anxiety levels through the roof. This book was really a test to the question of if love is enough? Though Will and Charlie fell fast, there’s so much the couple still needed to learn about each other. This is where we truly get into the thick of it, Charlie meeting the family and learning of Will’s past. But, Charlie and Will were tenacious and despite every obstacle that hit them, they refused to give up on each other. This baby was intensely passionate, rife with angst and emotion and had me eagerly devouring the pages to see how it all played out! I do wish I could’ve gotten a little more with the epilogue. These two spent a big chunk of this story fighting and I would’ve loved to see more of them in their settled state. Alexander Neal and Lacy Laurel narrating made for the perfect Will and Charlie, truly exhibiting each emotion to ensure you didn’t just read but experienced this story.

Amazing finish!

I truly didn't know what to expect from the second book in this duet. In this book we get a glimpse into the aftermath of what went down in book one, and I think this author did an amazing job!

I appreciated that she didn't make it all sunshine and roses, and she gave us a realistic take on the situation. Will's addiction gets hinted at and book one, but we see it in full force with this book. I really love what the author gave us in this book, how she builds up the relationship, helped them grow to know each other on a deeper level, and learned how to truly survive as a couple.

As with the first book, the narration on the audio was amazing! The female narrator truly helped me grasp the emotions of these characters and considering it's a highly emotional book, I appreciated that.

Loved this more than the first in the duet!

Bittersweet Addiction is the second book in the Bittersweet duet from QB Tyler. This is a continuation of Charley and Will’s story that started in book 1, so definitely shouldn’t be read as a stand-alone. Will was the marriage counselor to Charlotte and her husband and this book explores their new relationship moving forward.

I was a little worried how this book would go, it’s always that feeling of knowing a couple is going to go through some things when it’s a duet or trilogy following the same couple. 😅 But I really loved the journey packed into this book for the couple! We get some more background on their characters, Will’s own struggles, how their families and his coworkers react, their pasts, co-dependency, and just a bunch of growth for these characters together! I actually liked this book more than the first one, I loved seeing the growth of their relationship that started off kind of fantasy/lust filled.

The ugly side of love and addiction

Bittersweet Addiction is book two in the Bittersweet duet. We get more of Will and Charlotte after the explosion of Bittersweet Surrender. What happens after you get the one you love? After book one's ending, don't we all want more? If you haven't read that one, start there before this one.

This book is a hard one for me to review because I think you have to bring the first book into consideration when rating it. While book one was told 99% from Charlotte's POV, this one is both Will and Charlotte and we get to see a whole new side of Will that I didn't even know existed. It actually didn't seem to fit his character that I had gotten to know through Charlotte in Surrender, at least for me. Yes, he's alpha and has strong feelings for Charley, but it just didn't seem to fit.

As with book one, we still have an abundance of sex between the characters. That's where Charlotte and Will connect. But there's more to a relationship than sex, and theirs is one that is a lot more complicated because of Charlotte's past and also Will's past relationship he has with his family that leads him to finding comfort in things that could ruin his future. I enjoyed that QB Tyler did not make it all happy and roses in the aftermath. She showed the ugly side of their decisions and really took it there. It was a messy and a very bumpy road, but throughout, you could still feel their love for one another.

I have to say that I overall enjoyed Surrender more than Addiction as a whole. These two are a storm brewing and I know that they love one another, but they are also way too dependent on one another. It really doesn't get fixed in this one, but it's actually refreshing to see the darkside of their choices.
I listened to the audio of these books and they were magnificent. Lacy Laurel was especially a standout in her portrayal of Charlotte. She really nailed her emotions and what she was going through. I appreciated that we got more of Alexander Neal in this one and he really gave us Will in all forms. The pretty, the alpha and the ugly. As an audiobook, it was fantastic. As a duet, it was well written, but the characters and their overall arc didn't always sit right with me and I wanted to see a different growth from the pair, but glad they came full circle and got their HEA.

Liked it

This is the conclusion of Will & Charlotte’s story. They’re decided to be together and now must face the consequences when Matt is out for revenge. I liked this duet, however the co-dependency was annoying to me. Like when Will was in rehab for 1 week and Charlotte was losing her mind. I was a little annoyed at how clingy and outraged she was. Like seriously you can’t be away from each other for a week? But other than that, I enjoyed it!

So Disappointed

The main female character is pathetic. She's 28 with the knowledge of a teenager and the temperament of a toddler. This woman is exasperating.

thought it would be better

I found it hard to get through this book. For me, it was too much whiney banter. Did not care for the female narrator either.

Waste of credit

This may have been more tolerable if read than listened to . The female voice was so irritating. I continued to listen thinking I might eventually be able to tolerate her voice . Nearing the end of the story I fast forwarded to the epilogue and still was unable to finish . I different female narrator may helped . This female narrator took away from the story and storyline making it intolerable for me .
