Review: Addicted to You by Renita Pizzitola

In the sleepy fishing town of Port Lucia, everyone knows everyone, but Isla Diaz really knows Colby Callahan, with his blue-gray eyes and the tousled brown hair always tucked sexily into his cap. After all, Isla has been crazy about Colby ever since she can remember—even if he treats her like a kid sister. Now, without her best friend, Felicity, around, Isla spots a golden opportunity to take things to the next level . . . or at least wrangle a kiss out of Colby.

By random chance, a tropical storm is headed toward the coast, leaving them stranded together overnight—and there’s nothing to do but drink. As the evening wears on, Isla gets the feeling that her not-so-secret crush may finally release her from the friend zone. With her dreams finally coming true, Isla isn’t about to pump the brakes, but is this just a one-time thing? What if the next morning, she needs more than Colby’s prepared to give?

Little does she know, Colby would like nothing more than a real relationship with Isla. She’s always been the one. But there’s a very good reason he’s been keeping his distance. Someone else loves her too, someone who also means the world to Colby: his brother.

 

I’ve been looking forward to reading Addicted to You by Renita Pizzitola since the characters in this novel were first introduced in her Crush series. I wasn’t disappointed.

I felt like I connected with Isla through her grandmother. I love how nurturing she is and the fact that she speaks Spanish is another connection to me. It got me invested into the story more with that bit of diversity sprinkled into the novel.

The way the novel progresses with Isla and the Callahan brothers was a little maddening. Isla was clueless on both brother’s feelings for her but I still liked where the story went. I think Pizzitola did an amazing job of creating these interesting characters that came alive. I want to keep reading more about them and will continue to look forward to any new novels from Pizzitola.
