Friends since childhood, Anais Darnby and Lindsay Markham have long harbored a secret passion for one another. When they finally confess their love, their future together seems assured, sealed with their searing embrace.

But when a debauched Lindsay is seduced by a scheming socialite, a devastated Anais seeks refuge in another man's bed while Lindsay retreats to the exotic East. There, he is seduced again - this time by the alluring red smoke and sinister beauty of opium.

Back home, Lindsay's addiction is fed by the vogue for all things Oriental - especially its sensual pleasures - in fashionable London society. In his lucid moments, Lindsay still lusts after Anais, who can neither allow him near nor forget his smoldering touch. Tortured by two obsessions - opium and Anais - Lindsay must ultimately decide which is the one he truly cannot live without.

This book is a fantastic read, I read it a couple years ago and have listened to it twice. It's a serious book with a real look at drug addiction in this time period. This poor woman loves that man so much she just won't quit on him. I loved this story, I was completely sucked in from the first. I have read the other books that tie into this one, they are all excellent but serious reads.

Tragic - but excellent!

I liked the book very much, the only thing I disliked and was the narrator! It's a shame really, the book looses very much with such a bad narrator.

Interesting

The highly erotic story was probably pretty good, but I kept getting bored by the incredibly slow pace of the reader. The male voices were pitched even higher than the female, and I have no idea why Anais was constantly mispronounced as Anias. I fault the producer for letting such a shabby rendition of the story out of the studio.

The most aweful reader I have ever heard!

What could have made this a 4 or 5-star listening experience for you?

A different narrator!!!!!!!!!!!

How would you have changed the story to make it more enjoyable?

I'm not really sure because the narration was so bad that I had problems truly following the story. I might have to read the book to see if I like the book.

Would you be willing to try another one of Montana Chase’s performances?

NO - NEVER!

What reaction did this book spark in you? Anger, sadness, disappointment?

Boredom, but I'm just not sure if it was due to the narration or the story.

Fingernails on a chalk board!

Highly recommended!!! Addicted is one of the best reads I have had in a long time. There is love, drugs, betrayal, and a good look into the turn of the century drug epademic. It was very entertaining and had a bit of umph as well. Narrorator was great and appropriate for the tone of the book.

This book has it all!
