Film director Rill Pierce settled in the small town of Vulture's Canyon to mourn the loss of his wife and unborn child. Alcohol does quite well in keeping the memories at bay until long time friend Katie Hughes shows up. Katie was best friends with Rill's wife but has always been in love with Rill. There is no way she intends to allow him to destroy his life by drinking himself to death. On her arrival a drunken Rill believes he's imagining having sex with Katie but for her it's all too real even if Rill doesn't remember it after he sobers up. One thing Rill can be thankful for is his feelings for Katie began long after his marriage was in trouble. Katie finds herself liking the small town living and since she quit her job as a tax attorney she's looking for a new career. As much as Rill tries to drive Katie away he is unable to deny how much he wants her. Katie refuses to pretend she isn't interested in making love with Rill but she lets him set the pace. When he tries to pretend it is only about sex, Katie must decide to give him more time to figure out that he loves her or Rill what true love is all about.
Hotter than hot sex abounds between the covers of ADDICTED TO YOU. I usually like the theme of friends who become lovers but with the exception of the quirky secondary characters and the wonderful small town setting there wasn't a much more than sex, sex, and more sex. The hero was unlikable and seemed to treat the heroine like a doormat, hardly ever having anything good to say about her. Katie had no sense of self-preservation when it came to Rill; she made excuses and mostly blamed herself for his terrible behavior towards her. I understood Rill's pain and empathized with his situation but his total lack of respect for Katie made me not care one way or the other about him. Katie would have been a wonderful heroine if she hadn't come across as immature woman lacking self confidence.
