Sweet Addiction by Bella Matthews
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 (4.5/5)

Thank you to the author and @valentine_pr_ for providing an ARC!

Rome and Dillon have always had a tension-filled relationship. Two years ago, it boiled over into one incredible night… but the next morning, everything fell apart. Now, Rome is facing a scandal that could tank his MMA career, and he needs Dillon’s help. Knowing she’d never agree, he resorts to blackmail, threatening to expose her secret career if she won’t pretend to be his girlfriend and move in with him. Dillon knows she shouldn’t forgive him, but being this close again makes it impossible to keep her walls up. Can they let go of the past and find their way to love?

I don’t know what they put in the water in Kroydon Hills, but we need some where I live because those Beneventi boys are everything I want in a man. Rome has that alpha male, fiercely protective, “mine” thing that is super sexy. When he started talking about his fighting nickname, “The Titan,” because of his enthusiasm for Greek mythology, I think I became pregnant. Brainy and brawny? YES!!

And Dillan? She’s my girl. I love that, while insecure compared to her famous siblings and parents, she was already on a journey of self-acceptance before she began her relationship with Rome. She took complete ownership of her feelings of inadequacy, even though it would have been easy to blame her family. I love a woman who is self-aware and willing to put the work in to be better. That said, F off to everyone who felt they could discuss her body because she is famous-adjacent. That is the grossest kind of toxic troll behavior.

Bella Matthews, once again, hit it out of the park with her perfect blend of steam and sincerity. I am so ready for the rest of the Love and Legacy series!
