BOOK REVIEW - Kiss the sky (addicted,#2.1)
♦She's a 23 year old virgin. She is super smart, comes from a wealthy family and has her own fashion line.
♦He's 24, smart, cocky, alpha, wealthy arrogant. Dominant. He doesn't believe in love. His first name and last name begin with the same letter.
This book was on my top 10 highly anticipated reads of 2020, and it’s not entirely because of how much I adored Lily and Lo. I was genuinely invested in Connor and Rose, even though they were side characters. Overall, I think the authors did a fantastic job of portraying them, their individuality and their relationship in a unique and refreshing way (depiction through being on live camera for TV show). I have never read a book quite like KISS THE SKY, where there is no room for fluff and everything, from the staggering addictions Lily and Lo have to Rose and Connor’s witty banter to the stuck up asshole producer Scott, is remarkably distinctive and addicting to read.
When I looked the book up and saw it was about a reality TV show: "6 people + 6 months + 3 cameramen + 1 reality show = infinite drama." I knew this book was for me.
I've been a Connor & Rose fan from the beginning. I love their intellectual banter that fuels their relationship. My favorite quote comes from Rose when she is thinking about her time spent on the reality T.v show. [ "I am a Greek tragedy. Or a Shakespearean comedy - it's going to end with a wedding after all."] Rose's life is so dramatic that her use of that metaphor seemed very fitting.
Kiss the Sky was such a fun book to read. It had a great story line and was one of the most entertaining stories I’ve read lately. Krista & Becca Ritchie have the perfect amount of humor, emotion, steam and wit in their books. This series is original, the romances are messy and perfect- I’m pretty sure this is turning into my new favorite NA series, because I seriously love everything about these books!
Rose Calloway is the perfect older sister of Lily and Daisy, but lately, things for her have not been so perfect. After the negative attention from her sister’s sex addiction, her clothing line has taken a hit. So has her father’s business, as well as the family’s reputation. Rose has found a way to fix all that, or at least she thinks it will. So she’s signed the gang up for a reality show. All six of them under one roof… what could go wrong?
Rose is the opposite of her sister Lily in many ways. One way in particular- she’s a virgin. She has been dating her intellectual counterpart for a year now. Connor Colbolt is a patient man. He’s smart, ambitious and confident to the extreme. These qualities make him different than the other guys, and they’re endearing to readers. Connor is nothing like I thought he would be and I mean that in the best way possible.
Another contention is the sex scenes. Boy, those were HOT! Flaming hot so no complaint there, but I was taken aback when the authors introduced Connor as [a Dom.] Don’t get me wrong, I loved this twist and quite frankly, I do like a little erotica/BDSM sprinkled in my reads, but wow that was out of nowhere. Who woulda guessed ol’ Connor eh?
Now the one other thing I had a problem was with the ending. It’s really one of the sweetest endings and I loved that everyone got what they deserved (well almost everyone), but I think things were wrapped up a little too nicely, especially with [Rose and Connor’s wedding. (hide spoiler)] As much as I wanted that to happen, that was…out of the blue. And of course I’m a vigilante so reading how [Scott got away with no lawsuit pissed the shit out of me. (hide spoiler)] Realistically there’s probably not much they could’ve done but I hate that justice wasn’t served.
Other than that, this was another hit for me! Witty banter, a good number of humorous scenes and a ton of great one-liners! I love smart people and both Rose and Connor are just that. It’s nice to have characters that actually have brains!!!
"6 people + 6 months + 3 cameramen + 1 reality show = infinite drama. I've done the math." - Rose
Oh and one more thing. Connor,
I never thought Connor would be so funny and sinful under his exterior and I never imagined Rose would actually be likable. It’s safe to say I was pleasantly surprised with these characters. Connor was fantastic and Rose was someone relatable. I loved this couple. They cared for each other deeply, put each other first and had incredible chemistry. And even though things in the show threaten their relationship, they stand strong and they stand together.
I had no one before Rose. No true friends. No family, not really.
Now I have her. I have people I care about. People that I want to protect.
Now I have everything.
The only thing about having everything is that you can lose it all.
This beautiful continuation of the Addicted series couldn't get any better! I just love it!
In this book, we see more of the genius lovers Rose Calloway and Connor Cobalt. And like the first books in the series, their team-up and chemistry were just totally good!
What I loved about Kiss the Sky is that it's totally refreshing. I haven't read a book that basically shows the characters' strengths and flaws through a reality TV show. Reading this book made me feel like I'm basically watching Keeping Up with the Kardashians. Only this book features Princesses of Philly which is the name of the Calloway sisters' reality TV show. Like, seriously how amazing is that? :)
The romance in this book was so much better! There were times when I can't help but grin from ear to ear because of the characters' swoony and entertaining dialogues and interactions-- especially the sexy banters! And there were times when I try not to burst out laughing because of the funny scenes.
There were also a lot of dramas that happened in this book. But unlike the previous books, they were just light. And oh, the smexy scenes... who can't resist them when they focus on the virgin perfectionist and the smartass hero?

Our eyes connect on a different level. The world becomes small.
No Scott.
No shower.
No rush of water or nakedness.
Just me. Just him. Just us.
I am crazy addicted to these books. Once I start one, I cannot stop reading. I feel like these characters are my friends, my family. It’s so easy to become attached to them all. I’ve read the first 3 and the writing is wonderful. How the author portray all these characters fit so well and show the perfect amount of emotion for the story. Connor and Rose’s story exceeded my expectations, and they were already high. I’m jumping into Hothouse Flower next and I can’t wait to get more of Daisy and Ryke’s story and more of my favorite couple- Lily and Lo <3
Though this book is dedicated to Rose and Connor, it really encompasses the entire gang: Lily, Lo, Daisy, and Ryke. Normally that is a huge turnoff because I like books that focus more on just that one couple, but because of the unique circumstances these characters were put in, and the fact that the 6 of them together are a true family unit, I became totally supportive of the way this book plot was structured.
The writing, as always, was brilliant and real. Krista and Becca Ritchie totally nailed a New Adult novel that has it all. Literally. Hands down to these amazing authors! I will definitely read the next books in this series. :)
