Addicted: A Novel

Before there was E.L. James’s 50 Shades of Grey, there was Zane’s Addicted. Once described as “the hottest paperback in the country” by The New York Times and now a major motion picture, this wildly popular novel by the Queen of Erotica follows one woman’s life as it spirals out of control when her three extramarital affairs lead her down a dark and twisted path.

For successful Black businesswoman Zoe Reynard, finding the pleasure she wants, the way she wants it, is not worth the risk of losing everything she has: marriage to the man she has loved since childhood, a thriving company, and three wonderful children. But Zoe feels helpless in the grip of an overpowering addiction…to sex.

Finding a compassionate woman therapist to help her, Zoe finally summons the courage to tell her torrid story, a tale of guilt and desire as shocking as it is compelling. From the sensitive artist with whom she spends stolen hours on rumpled sheets to the rough and violent man who draws her toward destruction, Zoe is a woman desperately searching for fulfillment—and something darker, deeper, and perhaps deadly. As her life spins out of control and her sexual escapades carry her toward a dangerous choice, Zoe is racing against time to uncover the source of her “fatal attraction”—as chilling secrets tumble forth from the recesses of a woman's mind, and perilous temptations lead toward a climax that can threaten her sanity, her marriage…and her life.

Definitely a page turner! Zane kept me locked in with not only some spicy scenes but a DEEP storyline, character development AND TWIST on the usual spicy nature of Zane novels! (SA TW) Handles it very sensitively and bring awareness to child abuse, victims of SA etc.

Definitely a guilty pleasure of mine. I've read this book so many times! This go round, I read it to one of my best friends who loves the movie, but isn't a reader. He wants me to read it to him again! Lol. This is and will always be one of my favorite books! I love their love story, and this is a book that helped me learn more about sexual feelings I had as a teen.
