About this listen
He's addicted to booze. She's addicted to sex... staying sober is only half the battle. No. More. Sex. Those are the three words Lily Calloway fears the most. But Loren Hale is determined to be with Lily without enabling her dangerous compulsions. With their new living situation - sleeping in the same bed, for real, together - Lily has new battles. Like not jumping Lo's bones every night. Not being consumed by sex and his body. Loren plans to stay sober, to right all of his wrongs. So when someone threatens to expose Lily's secret to her family and the public, he promises that he'll do anything to protect her. But with old enemies surfacing, Lo has more at stake than his sobriety. They will torment Lily until Lo breaks. And his worst fear isn't relapsing. He hears the end. He sees it. The one thing that could change everything. Just three words. No. More. Us.
For the most fulfilling listening experience, the Calloway Sisters series should be listened to along with the Addicted series.Listening order as recommended by the authors:

Naomi wasn’t just running away from her wedding. She was riding to the rescue of her twin. Too bad for Naomi, her evil twin hasn’t changed at all. After helping herself to Naomi’s car and cash, Tina leaves her with a niece she didn’t know she had. Now, she’s stuck in town with no car, no job, no home - and an 11-year-old to take care of. Since Naomi’s life imploded right in front of him, the least Knox can do is help her out. And just as soon as she's out of trouble, he can get back to his peaceful, solitary life. That’s the plan, until the trouble turns to real danger.

Story
Maximoff Hale is a force of nature. A ship unwilling to be steered. Headstrong, resilient, and wholly responsible - the 22-year-old alpha billionaire can handle his unconventional life. Born into one of the most famous families in the country, his celebrity status began at birth. He is certified American royalty. When he's assigned a new 24/7 bodyguard, he comes face-to-face with the worst case scenario: being attached to the tattooed, MMA-trained, Yale graduate who's known for "going rogue" in the security team - and who fills 1/3 of Maximoff's sexual fantasies.

Call me what you want: Bad Boy Next Door. Trouble. That Kid Who Can’t Do Anything Right. When Willow moves into my neighborhood, nothing should have happened. She’s geeky. Shy. A true wallflower. Willow is a good girl. Too good for me. And how the hell was I supposed to know that she’s related to Loren Hale - yeah, that douchebag celebrity that lives on my street. The same guy I've been pranking by spray painting vulgar words on his mailbox and worse. Much worse. I'm cursed. Simple as that. People who are cursed break everything they touch. And yet...I still want to touch her.

Zanders: Chicago hockey isn't complete without me—everyone's favorite player to hate. I know my role, and I play it well. In fact, I thoroughly enjoy spending the majority of my game time in the penalty box before leaving the arena with a new girl on my arm each night. What I don't like is the new flight attendant on our team's private plane. She works for me, not the other way around. But I'll be sure to remind her of that, and I can guarantee, by the end of the season, she'll be begging to quit her job.

Everyone says opposites attract. And they must be right, because there’s no logical reason why I’m so drawn to Colin Fitzgerald. I don’t usually go for tattoo-covered, video-gaming, hockey-playing nerd-jocks who think I’m flighty and superficial. His narrow view of me is the first strike against him. It doesn’t help that he’s buddy-buddy with my brother. And that his best friend has a crush on me. And that I just moved in with them. Oh, did I not mention we’re roommates?

Remington Stringer has never been like most girls. She's outspoken and brazen and wants nothing more than to escape the Nevadan hell hole she calls home. On the brink of 18, with a deceased mother and a well-meaning, yet absent father, she's been forced to fend for herself. The only person she's ever been able to depend on is her borderline obsessive stepbrother. But even that anchor is quickly becoming a loose cannon. So when she gets the opportunity to attend the best private school in the state during her senior year of high school, she jumps at the chance.

Love and the right timing were two things I didn't believe in. Love is about walking to the edge of the cliff and taking the leap together. Timing was never on our side. My first mistake was hooking up with my best friend. My second came years later, when we met again, and I fell for her. My third was letting her go, because I had to. Because a love like this wasn't built to withstand the winds coming in our direction. Love and timing. I didn't believe in either. Then there was you....

They say it happens when you least expect it. It did for me. It started the moment I saw the simple message pop up on my computer screen: Cameron’s Mac: Hi. And when I met the eyes of the gorgeous man messaging me from across the coffee shop, I never thought my reply would lead to the most intense, sexual, and passionate relationship of my life. We both agreed to check our bags at the door and put our future hopes and aspirations on the table. It worked. I fell in love with his no-holds-barred attitude, sexy smirk, and undeniably good heart...and for a while we forgot about our baggage.

Mixed feelings - not my fav of the series
While a lot of progress happens for Lily & Lo & Co in this book, it is my least favorite so far. I drifted away from the story at several places. I’m not sure if it’s because I’m taking in all the books at once or if this book was just more tedious for me than the others but I would suggest new-to-these-authors readers start elsewhere.
Steam: low steam factor but a lot lot lot of awkwardly talking about mostly boring sex. Lily’s sex addiction males most of the sex scenes range from cringeworthy to unsexy. I suppose self-love was a less annoying word than masturbation but it got on my nerves about the 80th time it came up.
While I appreciate the authors trying to tackle the difference between an addiction to something one can/should avoid vs an addiction to a behavior that is a normal part of life, I needed a scene where Lily & either Lo, her sister, or her therapist explicitly address her anxiety. Yeah, she has issues with her mom, but the anxiety is RIGHT THERE ALL THE TIME and while Lily finally thinks about it occasionally, as a reader, I needed the social anxiety addressed more strongly than it was.
Despite being more drawn to the book/action/plot/growth in the last third of the book, I was annoyed like crazy that Lo apparently came up with his business idea without Lily’s input. They have done nearly everything together since they were 7, but the business idea is his alone? Even though it is designed around their mutual desires, it treats Lily like a trophy, not a partner. In a similar vein, while Lo apologizes for harming someone in the past, someone apologizes to Lo instead of to Lily, who was the more directly/strongly affected, and was there. What the heck??? (spoilerish: And the peace offering? Horrible decision to vouch for someone who would terrorize a young woman - that jerk’s bad actions were NOT all back in high school. Blechk. The apology given by Lo was correct, but the amends offered were not the way to go.)
I was also bothered by how several characters talked about “real” parents instead of “birth” parents despite nearly all of them finally getting much needed therapy and knowing at least one person who could course correct that destructive/magical thinking. It was really grating. At least Lo (minor spoiler) gave up his mom directed anger, mostly. But he might need more therapy for that too.
I like the later series about the kids more than this one. That is like one romance and 2 extended & fun epilogues. This is a slow, plodding path to get to where Lo’s therapist indicated: privilege & money don’t mean you don’t have problems & pain. Privilege & money mean you can do something about your problems & pain. This book (mostly) ended on a good note but this particular installment was more of a problematic slog for me. I’m still going to try out the next book.
I rather liked the audio narrators.

So many feelings
This is not an easy read. It's highly emotional and addictive. You will fall in love with these characters and this series. The narration just makes the story better.
