Publisher's summary

This New Adult Romance can be described as Friends meets The Real World. Expect fist fights, drugs, sex of varying degrees, crude humor, and competitive alpha males. Definitely for mature audiences only.

Virgin. Sex addict. Daredevil. Alcoholic. Smartass ... Jackass. Her five friends are about to be filmed. Reality TV, be prepared.

Rose Calloway thought she had everything under control. At 23, she's a Princeton graduate, an Academic Bowl champion, a fashion designer, and the daughter of a Fortune 500 mogul. But with a sex addict as a sister and roommate, nothing comes easy. After accepting help from a producer, Rose agrees to have her life filmed for a reality television show. The Hollywood exec is her last chance to revive her struggling fashion line, and boundaries begin to blur as she's forced to make nice with a man who always has his way.

Twenty-four-year-old Connor Cobalt is a guy who bulldozes weak men. He's confident, smart-as-hell and lives with his equally ambitious girlfriend, Rose Calloway. Connor has to find a way to protect Rose without ruining the show. Or else the producer will get what Connor has always wanted - Rose's virginity.

For the most fulfilling listening experience, the Calloway Sisters series should be listened to along with the Addicted series.

Pleasantly surprised

Any additional comments?

I fell in love with the addicted series. The characters are so memorable I'm glad they got a spin off. Now I can keep feeding my addiction to the Calloway girls and the hot men they attract. This is Rose and Connor's story... honestly to me they were the most boring "goody two shoes" characters in addicted. I mean Rose is a virgin and Connor is a brainy smart mouth. So going into this series I thought to myself this first book is going to be a long one... Boy was I wrong! When the built up sexual frustration between these two finally comes to a head this pair is on FIRE!! They do things that would make Lilly and Lo blush. I had no idea the authors would take Rose from "stuffy prude" to unabashed sex goddess. And turn Connor "who I originally thought of as nerdy" into a dominant alpha seducer. I'm so glad I didn't skip this book and go strait to Daisy and Ryke's story because it more than exceeded my expectation's. The narration took some getting used to because I really like Erin Mallon's voice from addicted. After listening for a while though Therese grew on me. Mark had this (barely a whisper) voice while doing sex scenes that gave me shivers and melted my ears. This book is not only worth every star but worth my credit too. Now I'm off to hear what happens with Daisy and Ryke.

Still Addicted!!!!

These books are so great! You think you know Rose and Conner from the Addicted series but this story really tells so much more. Can't wait to start Hothouse flower!!!

Really great audiobook!

Totally enjoyed this book. Kept me totally immersed all the way through and hated to have it end. Am looking forward to next book in series, sounds like it will be just as good. I highly recommend.

The Romance

This book….I could not stop listening to it…so good…definitely a five star read

Loved the French dialogue between Rose and Connor. It was the sweetest!

“𝒩𝑜 𝓂𝒶𝓉𝓉𝑒𝓇 𝒽𝑜𝓌 𝓂𝓊𝒸𝒽 ℐ 𝓌𝒶𝓃𝓃𝒶 𝓈𝒶𝓋𝑒 𝓂𝓎 𝓈𝒾𝓈𝓉𝑒𝓇𝓈 𝒶𝓃𝒹 𝒿𝓊𝓈𝓉 𝓀𝑒𝑒𝓅 𝓉𝒽𝑒𝓂 𝒸𝓁𝑜𝓈𝑒. ℐ 𝒻𝑒𝑒𝓁 𝓁𝒾𝓀𝑒 ℐ’𝓂 𝒹𝑒𝓈𝓉𝒾𝓃𝑒𝒹 𝓉𝑜 𝓌𝒶𝓉𝒸𝒽 𝓉𝒽𝑒𝓂 𝒻𝒶𝓁𝓁.”

This was such a sweet and emotional read. Not my favorite of the series but I really enjoyed my time reading it. This was the book that was on my TBR the longest so I’m just very happy that I finally read it. In the beginning I couldn’t decided for a while if I’m enjoying the story or not but it definitely turned into a really nice read. Rose’s personality reminds me of myself, it was nice to read their and Connor’s relationship deepen throughout the novel. I loved when Rose and Connor spoke French with each other, it was like their own little secret language.

I love Lily and Lo so much and their relationship, Lily’s literally the sweetest and Lo is the most perfect boyfriend. My other favorite character is definitely Ryke but I truly love all of them.

On the other hand I hated Scott so much, he was such a terrible person, his character truly infuriated me.

The ending was so sweet. I’m very excited to pick up the next book in the series, it’s Daisy’s and Ryke’s story. Ahh I can’t wait!

5 Addicted Stars!!!

This story is AMAZING!!!!! You think you know Connor & Rose from the Addicted series with Lily & Lo.

But, in Kiss the Sky, you get to know Connor and Rose sooooo much better.

One thing I love the best about this series is the character development - the authors did an amazing job defining the characters. Lily, Lo, Ryke, Connor, Rose & Daisy - this group of 6 becomes a tight knit group in KTS. And I love every single one of them.

Connor Cobalt, though, I am in serious love with him. I never thought he would be so darn SEXY in the bedroom!!!!! Yowza.

The narrators did a superfantastic job capturing the characters - Connor whispering in French to Rose - SWOON.

Bottom line: the book is a 5 star read for me. The audiobook is EVEN better!!!

Highly recommend. But start at the beginning with Addicted to You - you will appreciate Connor & Rose if you start at the beginning!

Can't wait to listen to the rest on audio.

My favorite series ever!!!!!

Narration puts you off

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I love this series and I think the Ritchie sisters are really talented writers.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Still a fan of Lo's.

Would you be willing to try another one of Mark Boyett and Therese Plummer ’s performances?

No.

What would have made this romance irresistible?

The same narrators as the addicted series.

Any additional comments?

Mark's voice is way too old for this book. Him narrating the thinking of a young twenty something makes it sound creepy. I love this whole series but Mark's voice is putting me off buying more.

Sex, love and mayhem

Lily & Lo are still my faves but I did really like this book. A lot of drama and the characters are hilarious and have really good chemistry together. I didn't seem to care quite as much about Connor & Rose as the others but it was good! Very excited about Ryke & Daisy!

Addictive listening!!

this came hoghmy recommended bu a friend and i completely agree with her commendation. I'm loving everything about this series and the audio is perfect

Turning out to be a favorite

This series keeps getting better and better. It is starting to turn into one of my favorite series! Can't wait to see where it goes next!
