Addictive (The Houston Defiance MC Series Book 2) Kindle Edition

4.6 out of 5 stars 1,720 ratings

My past was destructive.
It haunts my dreams.
The moment I embraced my addiction, I knew my life would change dramatically.

As the VP of the Houston Defiance MC, my job is to stand tall. Contain the demons clawing from the inside, begging to escape from within. But when I embrace my bloodlust, nothing can tame my wrath.

Zero took me in as part of his family - a bond unbreakable.
I should care about the no-touch rules.
And the fact they are in place on his sister.

But the draw to Prinie is addictive, destructive, exhilarating.
And I am all too aware that I'm dangerous.
She needs to see that too.

Her brother loathes the idea of us. Honestly, I put up a fight too.
But maybe fighting my addiction to her is impossible?
When chaos strikes the club, we'll turn to each other.
But chaos can just as easily rip us both to shreds.

    This is NOT a STAND-ALONE! This is begins a few hours after the previous story ended. Just like the previous stories, this one will also end on a cliffhanger that does not involve the H/h. The great news is the next story is available to read right away through KU or for purchase.

    ⛔️ Contains references to, or scenes detailing, subject matter that may be a trigger or offensive to some, including: adult language; derogatory terms; mental health challenges; steamy adult intimate scenes with dominance, submission, restraints, spanking for pleasure, etc.; violence stereotypical of the genre such as kidnapping, abduction, murder, death, torture, assault, fighting, betrayal, coercion, blackmail, threats, subterfuge, money laundering, gun running, cheating, prostitution, human trafficking, mafia / cartels, drug use, drug manufacturing, drug distribution, as well as the mental, physical and sexual abuse of females and children, etc.

    ** Caution: Contains scenes with graphic violence against females and children that fit into the storyline, but may be a trigger for some **

    There are a few grammatical issues but they are minimal and primarily comprised of incorrect word choice, typos, punctuation issues, missed words and an extra inserted word.

    There is also a discrepancy with the timeline provided by the first story in the series and this one. The previous story stated that it had been a year since everything went down with Anna. In this story it indicates it has been four years and was the catalyst that allowed Zero and Wraith to meet. I am mentioning these for readers such as myself that visualize the story as it is read, because errors interrupt the flow.

    The world building continues and really solidifies within this story. The characters are interesting and really made me root for them to find their HFN, as this series is comprised of multiple couples, but has an overarching / connected theme.

    Normally I try to provide a recap about how the story begins, but I don’t want to provide any spoilers.

    The Houston Defiance MC is full of drama, excitement, passion and loyalty. Wraith and Prinie aren’t supposed to have a relationship. Zero, Prinie’s brother and president of the club, has warned all the members to stay away from Prinie. Wraith, however, even as VP, gets his own warning. Wraith has some crazy, intense behaviors that makes him a risk for Prinie. Learning about his childhood and what he endured from his mother is heart-breaking but it shows why he does what he does and how it calms the demons inside. Once again, the club is faced with new challenges as Zero ends up in jail. Wraith has to step up as acting president to get him out and figure out why they are losing product on shipments. At the same time, he is trying to protect Prinie from himself. Prinie knows the challenges in front of her and Wraith but she isn’t giving up. She is tough, growing up in the MC, so she won’t let Wraith continue to hide his feelings. This journey is shocking, powerful and beautiful as they both fight for the love they deserve while protecting the family that makes them whole.

    I am a big KE Osborn fan! I've owned her books for sometime but I've been slow to read them 😚 My library is so huge, so every now and then I need a Osbourn fix😍 Love this Houston defiance series😘 can't wait to get my hands on more

    Book two in this series is just as fantastic as book one, Explosive. Getting to know Wraith, after having small glimpses prior to this story, is fascinating. Without giving anything away, he is such a complex man unravelling his past and his possible future is so worthwhile. Prinie is the other lead character and she is also fascinating, I enjoyed both characters equally.

    There is never a dull moment at the Defiance clubhouse and there are some pretty hair-raising moments. Even with all of the fantastic action and intense drama in this story there is still a good sprinkling of humour. Often it takes you by surprise, which is the best kind I believe, throwaway lines and even some fun banter between characters. One stand out is when Wraith named his captive ‘Rekcuf’, think about it, it’s very funny and very clever too.

    I totally recommend this book to everyone and now have to wait patiently for book three to be released. I have no doubt it will be as enthralling as these first two book.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I’m addicted to KE Osborn’s addictive! And you will be too!
    Reviewed in Australia on October 27, 2020
    Wraith and prinies story is nothing short of addictive! From page one you are taken into wraiths past and what a terrible childhood he suffered until he found himself at the defiance mc clubhouse. Prinie has seen a lot of violence in her young years, and it has taken its toll on her.
    But together Wraith and Prinie are full of passion, chemistry and a slow burn that you cant help but fall in love with!! Wraith, an alpha with an addiction that has taken over his life since he was young. And Prinie a club princess who sees nothing but wraith as a man she adores, will have to fight to be together and beat all the chaos that surrounds them.
    KE Osborn is a writer that continues to captivate me with her words, stories and characters. The way her words flow and hold you interest from start to end, while staying respectful to her characters pasts and hardships as though they are real people. Kim gives her readers exactly what they want, love, romance, drama, action, steam, emotion and suspense as well as always having family as a big part! Because the defiance MC is a brotherhood. A family.
    Kim is an incredible storyteller and this story is no different!! Her writing continues to improve with every book.
    Wraith and prinie are two broken souls who prove that love will conquer above all else. This story is jam packed with everything I hoped for! I was well and truly addicted to each and every word. As I turned every page I was surprised, heartbroken, laughing, and gasping! You think you know...but you have no idea!
    Book three come at me!! I can’t wait read the story that Kim tells next.
    Number one in my rank!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    Such a great way of telling such sensitive subject matter all the while gripping you with another fantastic and fast pace story. Thank goodness I found these books after most of the series of books were written so that I can jump right into the next book yay me for the win bringing on the next book. Thank you.

    Loved this MC romance! I don't tend to love the brothers best friend trope but this was done perfectly. Zero had reasons to be concerned. Prinie was able to help put Wraith's pieces back together. This couple has been through so much and are just better together. Great story.

    Reviewed in Australia on February 8, 2021
    Enjoyed Wraith and Prinie’s story. It was not pretty, but after reading Zero’s story, i knew it would’nt be. I would recommend you read book 1 first to get a bit of a back story on Wraith and Prinie. These books are fast paced, sexy at times, not full of sex scenes, (but enough), very little trash but filled with love and appreciation of family. Good guys with tough exteriors. Just like an MC story should be.
