Series: Calloway Sisters #2 (Spin-Off of the Addicted series)
Pub Date: March 28th, 2014
Ryke Meadows, meet Daisy Calloway ... she’s all grown up.
Twenty-five-year-old Ryke Meadows knows he’s hard to love. With a billion-dollar inheritance, a track-star resume, and an alpha-male personality—he redefines the term likable asshole. But he’s not living to make friends. Or enemies. He just wants to free climb three of the toughest mountains in Yosemite without drama or interruption.
And then he receives a distressed call from a girl in Paris—a girl that he has never been allowed to have.
Daisy Calloway is eighteen. Finally. With her newfound independence, she can say goodbye to her overbearing mother and continue her modeling career. Next stop, Paris. Fashion Week begins with a bang, and Daisy uncovers the ugly reality of the industry. She wants to prove to her family that she can live on her own, but when everything spirals out of control, she turns to Ryke to keep her secrets.
As Daisy struggles to make sense of this new world and her freedom, she pushes the limits and fearlessly rides the edge. Ryke knows there’s deep hurt beneath every impulsive action. He must keep up with Daisy, and if he lets her go, her favorite motto—“live as if you’ll die today”—may just come true.

Daisy’s POV
“You’re going to help me wash dishes?”
He grabs a bowl from the cupboard. “No. We all watched you push your fucking eggs around for thirty minutes.” He picks out granola cereal from another cabinet, his favorite brand. I’m sure he left a box here after early morning runs at Lo’s house.
“I ate the fruit,” I tell him. Fashion Week is coming up. I want to eat more than anyone. I just have a lot of self-control.
He opens the fridge for the milk. “Fucking fantastic,” he says to me. “Now I’m really at ease.”
“I also tried the bacon.”
“Don’t lie to me.”
“Okay, I didn’t eat the bacon, but I wanted to.” I put the last plate into the dishwasher and then climb up on the counter. He makes the cereal beside me.

ReplyDeleteRYKE <3 .. master of F word
ReplyDeleteI love this series. To be honest, I've been pretty wary of the whole Daisy/Ryke thing. I don't think it's appropriate to be rooting for an underage girl to hook up with a guy way older than her no matter how cool he is. I know that I've loved the series so far, so I have to just have faith that it will be handled delicately. Thank you for the giveaway!
