If I throw my kindle it will break so I had to refrain from doing that but let me tell you I was SOOOOO close to letting it fly! All in all this has been an enjoyable series and it keeps your interest so the time just flies by while reading it. Hot sex, Likable characters, interesting plot that never gets boring...yep definitely a good read.

CLAIM (Addicted to You #4)
by K. M. Scott
Ian and Kristina’s love has been tested over and over, but now one final test may be too much for them to overcome.
The only part of his life other than Kristina that meant anything to Ian—his career—lays in shambles. Now he’ll have to decide if he can forgive the woman he loves for betraying his most important secret.
Kristina will do whatever it takes to get Ian back, and this time it won’t be easy. But their love means too much for her to give up now.
And just when they think they’ve finally found happiness, their love will be challenged one last time.
••••••••••
REVIEW: CLAIM is the fourth and final installment in KM Scott’s ADDICTED erotic romance serial focusing on actress Kristina Richards and author Ian Anwell. Told from alternating first person points of view (Ian and Kristina) CLAIM finds Ian on the run. When Ian discovers the truth about Kristina’s time away, he is no longer able to control the demons and leaves for places unknown. As Kristina navigates through the fall out, she makes it her mission to find Ian and beg for the forgiveness she does not deserve. What ensues is an erotic reaffirmation of their love but all does not end well for our leading couple.
The relationship continues to be volatile, explosive and almost co-dependent. You can’t deny there is a definite sexual need between Kristina and Ian but saying that I do not see anything beyond the heat and need. The $ex scenes are graphic and erotic. The characters are emotional and heartbreaking. There is so much back and forth, push and pull, yin and yang.
The conclusion to KM Scott’s ADDICTED TO YOU serial finds our couple facing an uncertain future but the epilogue fast forwards the timeline by three years, and in the ensuing time life has changed dramatically for Kristina and Ian. Friendships will change; a new direction in life will have to be addressed, but in the end Kristina and Ian will get their happily ever after.

An addiction so strong that it pulls you under, brings you back to the surface only to pull you back. This is not an addiction to drugs or alcohol (although Ian has been fighting both), this addiction is to a person. Both are addicted to each other and when they stumble and fall apart, it takes everything they have to return to one another. There are lies, trusts that are broken, misunderstandings that cause chaos and break ups, but they always give in to the addictive pull that bring them back together, to forgive and begin again. This book ends their tale and finds them fighting harder than ever to return to one another and remain together. This book, all of the books, are very well written and has a very interesting storyline.
The Characters are well written and extremely complex as they both an addictions, one to drugs and alcohol, the other to people (yes...she says she's addicted to people). Normally you do not want to addictive personalities to be together, but it appears that their addiction is to each other and together, they have managed to mend some of the brokenness of their own lives.
This is a wonderful climax to this series, and although I really wanted to shake one if not both of them at some point in all of the books, it was Kristina that I wanted to shake the most. (credit to the author for this emotion). Ian is a very talented author, handsome and quite broken in his own way. But with Kristina he has his grounding, his heart and his eternal love.
This is a wonderful series and this book is just as wonderful and I recommend it (but you have to read the series).

Claim is the fourth and final book in the Addicted To You series, formerly know as the Silk series. Once again, Ian and Kristina are separated, they seem to keep turning away from one another instead of towards one another. But there seems to be one big difference in this book, Ian seems to be stronger, tougher, and more determined. Kristina, realizes her mistakes, and she is really trying to face them, regardless of the outcome.
This series has been a very emotional roller coaster ride loaded with ups and downs. There have been twists and turns along the way, that either made me cry, made me angry, or made me happy. I want to thank K.M. Scott, for writing a love story that is totally different from any I have ever read. It was a heart wrenching read at times, that focused on love, lust, obsession, addiction and need. She took two characters that were flawed and brought them together, not in a perfect union, but one that makes you realize if you want something bad enough, you will fight for it, and win. It is a story of two people, who know they will have to face more obstacles, but at the same time they are not afraid, their love has made them stronger
Loved Ian and Kristina, and I give this entire series, FIVE scorching hot stars!!!

I came into Claim trying to understand Kristina. What was she thinking? I know she was trying to figure everything out. But while Ian was trying to survive his turmoil for her, she was just making a bigger mess in the end. I still have a hard time figuring her out. That makes it a challenge for me and I love it!
Ian feels the ultimate betrayal and leaves. Kristina knows she can not undo the wrong but she fights like she is about to lose it all. The love these two is strong and they know deep down inside they are soul mates. And then right at the end of the book, we are hit with turmoil again. Will Kristina and Ian get their HEA? Or is this it for them? I don't think I would have the strength to try again. You will be surprised what happens.
Claim was a great conclusion to the Addicted to You series. I was wrapped in this book and again overwhelmed with the emotions that came over me. Claim is sexy, fiery, and dramatic like no other. The Sexy scenes get even hotter! I have a new addiction and I am not letting this one go!

Brilliant ending to an epic story
CLAIM....that's exactly what Ian did, he claimed a place in my heart, with all the suffering that he underwent during this series. This, the final instalment, finds both Ian and Kristina changing. With his life in disarray, Ian seems to become a stronger more determined man in what he desires. Kristina too, has altered, she realises the mistakes she has made, and is determined to rectify them.
As toxic as these two people may be together, they needed to be as one, not as two separate entities. Such was the love that was shared between them - they were better together than apart. The love they shared both in body (oh boy was that hot) and mind was, yes addictive, but it was also exceptional and life changing.
Kudos to K.M. Scott for writing such a thought provoking story of two people and the pain they would face to remain together. It is definitely a series I would recommend anyone to read.

Oh just WOW! What an amazingly appropriate title to this 4 novella set. I will start by saying this series needs to be read in order. It takes you from the point that Kristina and Ian meet to the end of their story. And oh what a story.
Ian is a well known published author and Kristina is an actress. They both have their own personal demons (addictions if you will) yet they find a type of peace in each other. Yet with any addiction, it’s a day to day fight. These two will tug at your heart as they fight their demons, as they hurt those that love them and that they actually love and as they fight their way through it all. I don’t do spoilers so I just say this 4-book set is a very well written sexy, emotional ride that I highly recommend reading from start to finish. You won’t regret it!!!!

Well, I knew when I opened this that this crazy ride was coming to an end so I was eagerly anticipating another round of Ian and Kristina almost dancing around each other in ever decreasing circles of crazy.
I was proud of Ian in this book, I liked the man that he had developed into, he showed character and strength, a trait that I didn’t know if I would ever see from him.
I wasn’t sure that I was going to like the outcome between this pair, and that is because I wasn’t actually sure that I would get the outcome that I wanted but what I did like was the fact that as the story drew to a close, Kristina was finally facing her truths…head on
As you would expect there is a lot going on in the book, there are so many things that as I turned the last page, I knew that I have a re-read on the horizon very, very soon!
A far from ordinary read about two far from ordinary characters!

Kristina has to get to Ian to win him back. Even a blizzard doesn't stop her. Ian tries to be angry and distance himself from her, but realizes he loves her too much to keep pushing her away. As Ian says
" Love isn't about happy all the time. Love is about getting through bad times and appreciating good times." When everything finally looks like it's perfect, fate steps in and tries to keep them apart again. Get your tissues ready because Ian and Kristina have to crawl through hell to finally be together. Love prevails and this couple proves that with love and trust anything is possible. It's the perfect ending for Ian and Kristina.

A really enjoyable love story that takes you on a rollercoaster of emotions. This story is well written, the story is engaging and some steamy scenes. 'Claim' is the final book of the 4 book Addicted to you series, you need to read these books in order.
Again Ian and Kristina's relationship is in shatters but again they are prepared to fight for the other. They can get past their trust issues and finally appear to be on a road towards their HEA. But things never seem to go their way, further challenges a laid in their path and these may not be repairable.

This is a brilliant climax to the short addictive series. The characters are well written and complex. I liked Ian more then Kristina, I did feel the need to slap her a few times.
KM Scott took 2 characters which were flawed and on paper should probably not be together but she brought them together and made you love them, that if you want something badly enough you need to fight for it, that love can make you stronger.
There have been some great twists and turns in this series that have you on the edge of your seat, desperately wanting to know what is going to happen next with them.
Once you delve into this series you will become instantly Addicted and craving each book in the series.

This is a very enjoyable series, definitely a must read set this summer. I can't wait to read more from this author in the future.
Highly recommended

Very emotional story with some twists that will make your heart break!
This book begins exactly where Shatter ended, with Ian leaving after knowing what happened and Kristina trying to get in contact with him.
Ian is a broken man... no wonder, after everything he's gone through! My first thought was that he would fall again into addiction. But then as the story evolved, I saw a stronger and braver Ian, that even with his broken heart couldn't forget his love for Kristina.
No way I'm going to spoil this story with more detail, this is too good, you need to read it!
After reading the whole series, I just can say that this is a wonderful, heartbreaking, addictive story of love, lust, regrets and second chances.
All four books are well written, very detailed, in dual POV, making us understand exactly whats going through the characters mind.
One of the best stories I read so far!
