Why read it?

2 authors picked Addicted as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?

Zane was one of the first to be so bold as to own the art of sex and mix it with the art of literature. Doing more than writing about sex just to be writing about sex, she provides you with a storyline so enthralling that even before all those 50 shades, Addicted was adapted to film and can be watched on national networks and streaming platforms worldwide, making it one of the first erotica novels of our time to have mainstream success.

This was the first erotic book I ever read. It greatly influenced how I saw sex scenes in books. I think Zane opened it up for authors like myself to feel free expressing sexuality in greater detail and with more passion. Zane’s writing takes you on a wild ride with the main character Zoe. The narrative depicts how Zoe’s life shaped her approach to intimacy and caused her to make a series of terrible decisions. I loved the way Zane led you through Zoe’s self-discovery. There is a movie, but I promise the book is better.
