★★★★★ 4.5 stars!

"You're not a pit stop. You're my finish line."

Ever since meeting Rose Colloway and Connor Cobalt in the Addicted-series, I've been fascinated by this perfectly matched yet constantly arguing couple. To say that I was looking forward to reading this book would be an understatement. Kiss the Sky was one of my most highly anticipated releases of 2014 and I can honestly say it fully lived up to my expectations!

Virgin. Smartass. Sex addict. Alcoholic. Daredevil. Jackass.

"6 people + 6 months + 3 cameramen + 1 reality show = infinite drama. I've done the math." - Rose

Ever since Lily's sex addiction became public knowledge, things have been going downhill for Colloway Couture. So, Rose has come up with a plan to polish up the image of the Colloway sisters and raise their popularity to new heights: their own reality show.

Now Rose, Connor, Lily, Lo, Daisy and Ryke are all living together for the next six months while being filmed by three cameramen under the direction of the obnoxious producer named Scott. And of course all of them living so closely together provides for a LOT of drama…. but I enjoyed every second of it!



Rose Colloway is an independent, strong, confident woman who doesn't need a man to complete her life. But, ever since she started dating Connor she's started to realize having him with her brings all the more stability and peace in her life. He's one of the few people who can handle her and who even seems to know her better than she knows herself.

But Rose also has a problem with intimacy. She's still a virgin, something she's never made a secret or been ashamed of. And she fears once Connor "wins" her virginity, he'll break up and move on to the next challenge. So, even though she's starting to love him more and more every day, she's still afraid to let him get too close to winning her over.

"People hope to touch the sky. I dream of kissing it." - Connor



Connor Cobalt is ambitious, wickedly smart, arrogant, but also a little "undetached". He doesn't believe in love and he's convinced that true love only makes you do stupid things. And if there's one thing this smartass refuses to be labeled as, it's being stupid. So, even though he cares tremendously about Rose, he doesn't easily admit his true feelings. It was fun to see them constantly going back and forth and I loved their competitive banter and bickering and even their weird texting habits ;)

"Why am I with you? You're so conceited, arrogant-"
"Narcissistic," I add, "attractive, lovable, brilliant."
"That wasn't an invitation for you to compliment yourself."
"No? My bad, I thought we were listing my best qualities."

Connor did manage to surprise me a few times though. Who knew "cool" and composed Connor was (view spoiler)[a Dom… (hide spoiler)] But in a way, it also made perfect sense for the story to take that turn and it made reading how the dynamic between him and Rose evolved all the more fun to read! Within the group, Connor was always the one who stayed calm and had the ability to take charge when the arguments inside the house were threatening to escalate.



Towards the ending, everything might have been handled a little too smoothly and fairytale sweet, but honestly, that did not ruin the story as a whole for me.
Overall, I really enjoyed Rose and Connor's drama filled, romantic, sexy and funny story. Although Lily and Lo are still my favorite couple, these two come in a close second. Krista & Becca Ritchie are easily becoming my new favorite authors of the New Adult genre and I'm already looking forward to find out what they have next in store for us!

Although Kiss the Sky is a spin-off story that can be read as a standalone, I would advise reading the Addicted series first in order to fully enjoy your reading experience:
