Perfect Addiction (The Perfect Series Book 2)

Product Information

First of all, I am so so happy to be able to read a book on my kindle that I had first read on Wattpad years ago. I am so proud of Claudia.

L’autrice poi è stata bravissima nel farmi percepire l’esatto momento in cui i protagonisti si sono innamorati e l’istante magico in cui hanno rivelato i propri sentimenti. The MCs, Sierra (h) and Kayden (H), were pretty good. I didn't really hate anything about them although Sierra pissed me off a couple times with her choices, mostly at the end of the book. Perfect Addiction by @claudiatan is a mma fighter romance following Sienna Lancaster who’s life seemed perfect with a perfect job, perfect boyfriend and a perfect apartment she bought with her sister until she catches her boyfriend and sister in bed together. M-au cucerit și Brett, dar și Evans, fratele vitreg, respectiv prietenul cel mai bun al lui Kayden, m-am distrat teribil când apăreau în cadru și râdeam din suflet, serveau amuzament pe pâine ☺️, iar când li se alătura și Sienna, nu aveai cum să te plictisești. Mi-au fost dragi și Cara și Alex, vecinele lui Kayden…știam că de ele o să-mi placă, nu mă îndoiam deloc! ❤️

Rate And Review

It's hard to be with someone with the hopes of fighting their demons for them. They've got to do it on their own." I love how we were thrown right into the story with chapter 1. No waiting, just right in it. I really don't like it when books take too long to start. This one doesn't have that problem.

Kayden is such a grumpy sweetheart his clear interest in Sienna from the start was adorable and admirable the way he always wanted her makes me cry for real also when he said you are my weakness i screamed so loud🥹💗 Povestea mi-a plăcut super mult, deși aș fi vrut mai multă emoție să simt, nu am dus lipsă de scene tandre, dar nu m-au atins așa cum mi-am dorit, poate și din cauza durității personajelo, viețile lor n-au fost tocmai roz și zidurile ridicate în jurul lor erau bine clădite, dar și când s-au dărâmat, să te ții bine… Chiar dacă nu i-am acordat punctaj maxim, a fost o poveste de care m-am bucurat și pe care o voi păstra în suflet. This wasn't the worst thing ever, it's honestly a pretty decent Wattpad book. My biggest issue with a lot of books on Wattpad is the cringeyness of the dialogue and the writing style being pretty bad, but this wasn't all that cringey and the writing was okay, but not horrible. Like the author didn't spend half the chapter describing the heroine's outfit for the day and that she's "not like other girls" because she doesn't wear makeup.Thank you NetGalley, Wattpad Books, and Claudia Tan for this e-ARC in exchange for an honest review. The two of them decide to work together to take Jax down, and may end up falling in love in the process. I don't ever want to forget this. I want to remember you, everything about you. I want to remember what it's like to be with you. It doesn't matter if in five- ten years from now we're just a memory to each other. When I look at your name on my heart, I'll remember that you once had it. And I once had yours." cine s-o ajute la răzbunare, dacă nu un alt luptător? Misteriosul Kayden…cât de intrigată am fost de personajul lui și cât m-au fiert interacțiunile dintre ei. Am savurat fiecare scena care-i surprindea, indiferent de ipostaze, iar dialogurile dintre ei, cireașa de pe tort 🥰. Overall, super-steamy and intense in many aspects, but also loaded with bits of anger the reader slushes through.

Sienna is great too, she's one of those characters that actually stays committed to what they say and I love her for that. I wish her revenge plan worked out a little differently though. The writing obviously could have been better. It just needed to be more descriptive and less...Wattpad-y??? Tan writes sports romance well. She clearly knows her stuff when it comes to boxing and uses common terms to familiarize the reader with the sport and immerse them in the ring. Further, female athletes are typically underrepresented in this subgenre, so I love that both Kayden and Sierra, the two main protagonists, are both skilled at what they do.In general the romance happened pretty fast, but it felt like it didn't because of the training sessions in between. I wouldn't have minded if it wasn't for the previously mentioned tattoos and other stuff I won't spoil. Too fast!!! But they're cute. Okay, first of all, I remember being so in love with this book when I first read it and while reading this book, I got immersed in those feelings again. The only difference I can say from then and now is that the published version is so much better. I don't know how a book that was already so good (from what I remember) could even get better, but Claudia and her team managed to do it. romanzo mi è piaciuto moltissimo, soprattutto l’ambientazione sul ring degli MMA, con gli allenamenti, l’adrenalina che scaturisce durante l’incontro e lo spirito competitivo che aleggia sui lottatori intenzionati a portare a casa il titolo o semplicemente vincere il match. Kayden was a grump with a sweet side. He could be swoony and possessive at the same time and melted my heart.

In addition to the pacing having an effect on the romance that unfolds, it also rushes along characterization a bit. Not enough time was spent on fleshing out some of the supporting characters in favor of focusing on the revenge plot line, resulting in a surface level connection between the reader and those considered to be important to the protagonist. Holding grudges and bringing others into her plot for revenge eventually catches up. Personally, I can’t fault her for being angry, however, throughout the story she was slow to forgive and open herself up for what truly was the blessing of forgiveness and love. This book was written by someone who might have wanted to talk about important issues but not truly understand or be able to nuances of the issues. For example, when Sienna and Kayden talk to each other, there is a lot of mention of Alzheimer’s, bipolar, and the term “pussy” all being used as an insult, which I found troubling. Before I say anything else, I want to say that this is technically a re-read since I read this in years ago when it was first published in Wattpad. I've been a fan of the Perfect series by Claudia Tan ever since I read it in Wattpad, and I was thrilled when I heard that not only were two of the books getting published (Perfect Illusion [Book #1] and Perfect Addiction [Book #2]), but my favourite out of the series was also getting a movie! Anyway, moving on.In terms of the characters, there were a few things that I really loved about Sienna. I adored that she was a fighter, literally seeing she was involved in the world of MMA. She was also a smart character, even if she never went to classes. The thing that I loved the most about Sienna was her drive to get shit done and her desire for revenge. However, a major issue I had with the book was that there was so much internal dialogue from Sienna, that it seemed to overwhelm any plot or description that needed to happen to carry the book.
