Addiction by Angela McPherson is the second book in the Distraction series and is another 4 star read. In the first book we met Elle and Tristan and this book continues with their story. One thing I love about this author is her ability to make the characters, their pain, love and emotion seem so real. This book is just  full of emotion and will make you feel raw.

Elle and Tristan and just a lovely sweet couple, they have a chemistry together that comes across as very realistic and believable. They struggle through some difficulties in their relationship and you get both perspectives which makes you feel both of their heartbreak.

Although this is continuing Elle and Tristan's story it also focuses on new characters, well they were mentioned in the first book and we get to learn more about them and their story and they have a dramatic effect on the couple. 

Tristan’s love for Elle does not diminish, he will do anything for her but this book is not just about love it is about families and not giving up on family even in the darkest times. Some of Tristan’s decisions have a major impact on his relationship with Elle and cause some problems, he was well intentioned though. The couple fight for each each other despite the obstacles that are pushed in their path, that is what makes the story. 

This book is a real emotional roller coaster and tackles tough subjects in a sensitive way. This book adds so much depth to the characters and they do feel so real, you will need tissues at hand while you read this book.

Sometimes a second or middle books feels like a filler, not this one, if anything I liked this better than Distraction and I cannot wait to read inception and continue with their story.
