Love me some dark， brooding hockey bad boys。 Violet is a strong woman。 Loved watching their story evolve。

the male MC is a not-as-charming knockoff of Carter Mahoney and the female MC lacks Zoey’s sass， together they’re the boring-af-too-bland-to-taste combo

This book was a bomb。 My dark desire box is boldly ticked。 Brutal Obsession （and INTENTION） is a dark bully romance。 I am already wringed out by the characters and the toxicity exposed made this book a page turner for me。 Violet Reece is a simple hard working student who had her dreams shattered along with her limb the day she met Greyson Devereux， the rich untouchable son of the senator and what makes it more worse Greyson walks away without facing the consequence and devoid of any remorse。 Whe This book was a bomb。 My dark desire box is boldly ticked。 Brutal Obsession （and INTENTION） is a dark bully romance。 I am already wringed out by the characters and the toxicity exposed made this book a page turner for me。 Violet Reece is a simple hard working student who had her dreams shattered along with her limb the day she met Greyson Devereux， the rich untouchable son of the senator and what makes it more worse Greyson walks away without facing the consequence and devoid of any remorse。 When they meet again they are at the same college。 Grey is used to getting his way but this time his reckless mistake has consequesces which almost costs him his hockey career。 Because of Grey's recklessness Violet has lost her career and she wants retribution。 Violet wants to start anew， to heal the wounds of her soul and body。 But Grey is dead set on revenge and is obessed in ruining her life。 There are non-con， dub-con scenes。 Greyson is morally evil， no amout of persuasive logical thinking can exsist in his thoughts when he sets his mind on anything。 He thought he could get away with another rash immature act but because of Violet he had to move to another college and he almost lost hockey。 Now his only intention was to torment and destroy Violet。 He went from brutal bully to meaner， scarier， crazier， protective stalker。 Violet doesn't simply take it， she fight him tooth and nail， she is tough and speaks her mind。 They test each others limits and are explosive， their darker sides are made for each other。 There is a scene which could be a little off， Greyson makes Violet bj his best friend as a punishment， I didn't like that but the afterwards did make up for it。 Greyson is very possessive， he gets caveman too when Violet ignores him。 I get a little annoyed that Violet has 'amnesia' at certain times but I guess that's what prolonged the story。 This is a mean hockey player and ballerina romance written in dual POV。 It has hot scenes， sexy banter， blood play and the toxic level is 10/10。 。。。more

I really tried with this one， but based on all the glowing reviews， it seems to be a me thing。 I initially was going to pass on it due to the bully trope， but hockey romances are my kryptonite， but I just didn't vibe with it。 First， it was way too long。 It could have been cut down half the size and you still could have gotten the point across。 Plus had Greyson lived in a trailer park instead of a mansion， the dude would （hopefully） be in jail by now。 He's a certified psycho。。 and not the good ki I really tried with this one， but based on all the glowing reviews， it seems to be a me thing。 I initially was going to pass on it due to the bully trope， but hockey romances are my kryptonite， but I just didn't vibe with it。 First， it was way too long。 It could have been cut down half the size and you still could have gotten the point across。 Plus had Greyson lived in a trailer park instead of a mansion， the dude would （hopefully） be in jail by now。 He's a certified psycho。。 and not the good kind。 I just didn't buy how quickly Greyson turned from bully to devoted and sweet lover。 Plus I know there would be some non con/dub con， but there's one scene that was legit rape。 Violet orgasmed and all， but still。。 it was hard for me to read it as a love story after that。 I've read dark books and I can handle it， but I just don't think it needs to be romanticized。 If I was Violet， I don’t think I would forgive Greyson。 He literally crushed her dreams， but then he hated her because she dared to try to get justice？ The privilege was just high in this one。I will say I really liked how Violet always gave as good as she got， and Greyson tore down anyone who looked at her wrong。 He was the only one who was able to make her miserable， apparently。🤷♀️They did have some cute moments， but I never connected with Greyson or these two as a couple， and the pacing of this book made it hard for me to really enjoy it。**I received an ARC of this book and these are my honest opinions ** 。。。more

just throw at the heroine’s lap。 And immediately just leave her there without even taking her home。 What a azzhole hero here。 Like i just have to stop myself right there after reading that🙄 NOPE。 NO UH…。 I IMMEDIATELY KNOW THAT THIS BOOK WILL BE A HELL LOT OF TOXICITY 🙄🙄🙄 AND HELL NOOOO。 I WILL NOT CONTINUED THIS AFTER THAT SCENE 😒😒😒 LIKE NOPE。 EVEN IN THE BEGINNING OF THE BOOK AND WHEN THE HERO WAS GETTING TO KNOW EACH OTHER THE BULLYING WAS SUPER ANNOYING AND TOO MUCH🙄🙄🙄 Like childish much？！ 🙄 because the hero’s pov is too childish😂😂😂 Many unnecessary childish drama happening🙄 It even hurts my eyes to read cause how childish this is😒 The book says it’s a dark romance， dark romance my ass。 This is childish nonsense romance if you ask me🙄I really don’t like a book that start with that or have scenes like that because that’s not on my lists of books。 If you like to read this book then be my guest。 I bet after that maybe there’s a happy ending but I will still not continue any further… I give this book two stars because of the hero is so super over the top possessive and alpha male。 And also because the heroine is sweet too。 But beside that， the hero is childish and stupid。 Not classy and not even a gentleman。 Shame 🙄Even the hero’s pov is too confusing and too childish for me to even understand what he is saying or what he thinks。 The hero doesn’t even know how to be a decent human being。 Too toxic like in real life human being these days😂😂😂 It give me a headache 🙄So no。Never again🙄👉🏽👉🏽👉🏽Thank you so much for reading my review❤️❤️ For you who loves my review and follow it， THANK YOU SO MUCH。 I did not get paid or be told to do a review on a book。 I’m here just to write review about a book so i can remember it。 Its my honest opinion😚 I didn’t know at first people will find me and follow me and trust me to be honest， I was surprised myself to look at the notifications from people who reach out to me😆 So everything i write down here on a review is based on my personal opinion and based on my true writing。 I DID NOT COPY SOMEONE’S REVIEW OR WRITING SKILL because at first when i was using this app for one year i didn’t know how to scroll down on a book and see the reviews from others😂😅🤣 I know， silly me but hey I finally learned my lesson 😛😛😛 Thats why when people assume i copy someone’s review i was like what？ Because at first i didn’t know how to use this app properly and i didn’t know how to open someone’s review because for a year i never follow someone or add friends or someone😂😂😂🤣 （I’m laughing so hard） 🤪 AND I NEVER COPY SOMEONE’S REVIEW EVER。 IF I WRITE SOMETHING WRONG OR DOESN’T MAKE SENSE PLEASE LET ME KNOW AND BE NICE OKAY。 👈🏽👈🏽👈🏽✋🏽✋🏽 IF YOU'RE BEING MEAN AND NEGATIVE ALREADY WITH A WARNING AND NOT BEING WISE TO ME， I WILL NOT ENTIRELY READ YOUR COMMENT AND REMOVE YOU EASILY AND FAST。 I DO NOT TOLERATE NEGATIVE COMMENT SO KNOW YOUR PLACE， THANK YOU SO MUCH。I’m writing my disclaimer again here cause many negative people still don't get it or still be stupid enough not to understand my POV when I already write it so many times before。 So here I am writing it again to you beautifuls human being😁😁 WHEN YOU READ MY LONG OR SHORT REVIEW， YOU WOULD KNOW THAT WHAT I LIKE ABOUT A STORY AND CHARACTERS RIGHT。。。 IF YOU DON'T KNOW THEN HERE IT IS: I LIKE A BOOK WITH VERY POSSESSIVE PROTECTIVE ALPHA MALE， NO CHEATING， AND PLEASE NO MANWHOR3， NO MANY PUSHING AWAY， NO DOORMAT HEROINES， NO MANY OW DRAMA， NO S3X SCENE WITH SOMEONE ELSE。 AND SAFE ALL THE WAY AND A HAPPY ENDING。 Something that I don't like it very much if the hero or heroine have a crazy fvcked up personality and likes。 Example: killing someone and let the heroine watch it all and push the heroine to lick all the blood of his victim and made her have to eat the meat of humans。 and fvcks many woman in front of the heroine while telling her he loves her。 I DON'T LIKE THAT TYPE OF SH*T AT ALL。 That's just who I am， that's what I like and I don't like on a book。 Maybe you love that， but I don't。 We humans are different， we think very differently from one another。 You have your likes and I have mine， you have your opinions and I have mine of my own。 You think it's stupid of me to love such a book or to not love a book or to hate it whatever lol， I think it's bad you think that way cause I respect people's opinions cause I know for a fact we have our differences。 YOU AND ME ARE DIFFERENT FOR PETE'S SAKE。 I even have my own friends or people I follow here that shows how much they don't like the book I like， I never even give them a long comment or short Comment。 Cause I respect their opinions。 I don't like to give people I hard time here cause life itself is already hard enough。 I do respect your opinion if you say my review is bad or whatever negative things about it， but in the end of the day I will not changed my mind about what book I dislike and how my thoughts about it。 You can't tell me what to do。 You can give me advice but it's me who decided to know what's right for me， this is my life and not yours。 Read that again。 Don’t assume things about me that is not even real， just don’t。 cause when you do you’re more small minded for sure。 You're thinking why I'm telling you all of this when you already know？ Is because you still hating on my opinions and don't understand my POV and don't respect my POV。 You think i like writing this disclaimer when obviously you're an adult already？ no i personally think this is unnecessary。。。 but because there are people out there who still don't get it *rolling my eyes*。 Hopefully they or the people who read this disclaimer can use a beautiful thing called a brain:） AND WHEN YOU READ MY REVIEW， READ IT VERY CLEARLY TO SEE IF I FINISHED THE BOOK OR NOT。 KNOW THE DIFFERENCE。 AND YES ENGLISH IS NOT MY FIRST LANGUAGE。 BUT IF YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I'M WRITING， THEN IT MEANS YOU UNDERSTAND IT ENOUGH。 I DO NOT TOLERATE BULLYING， NEGATIVE COMMENTS AND MEAN WORDS。 PLEASE USE A WISE WORDS SO WE DON'T ATTACK EACH OTHER。 SIMPLY， I DON’T LIKE TO HAVE AN ARGUMENT WITH STRANGERS LIKE YOU CAUSE I HAVE BETTER THINGS TO DO😚 BUT IF YOU STILL WANT TO BE AMBER HEARD KARENS THAT DON'T UNDERSTAND MY DISCLAIMER AFTER I JUST WRITE IT DOWN， THEN GO ENJOY YOUR DAY AND GO AWAY。 IT'S VERY EASY FOR A HUMAN COULD DO YA KNOW。 IF YOU STILL HERE HATING ME OR ANNOYED WITH ME， THAT'S YOUR PROBLEM。 NOT ME PROBLEM。 HASHTAGS BURN😂😂 DON'T TAKE THINGS TOO PERSONALLY ON ONLINE CAUSE WE ALL A STRANGERS， WE NEVER EVER MEET。 WE'RE ADULTS HERE SO LETS BE WISER。 LAST， I BLOCK NEGATIVE PEOPLE！ SO GET WELL SOON TO THE HATERS。 HOPEFULLY YOUR HEART AND MIND WILL BE MORE POSITIVE 🙏🙏🙏 AND THIS DISCLAIMER MAY SEEMS LIKE TOO HARSH ON YOU BUT HEY I DON'T LIKE TO SUGAR COATED THINGS。 I LIKE TO SAY TO THE POINT WITH MY UNDERSTANDING AND MY OWN THOUGHTS， CAUSE THAT'S HOW HUMANS ARE。 WE ARE DIFFERENT REMEMBER👍 HAVE A GREAT DAY EVERYONE！！ 。。。more

OMG！！！ Greyson Devereaux has forever taken a place in my heart。 This story is so dark and twisted and I freaking loved it。 Greyson and Violet start off as enemies due to a past event。 He’s the self entitled rich boy who never gets told no and now what he wants is her。 He becomes so obsessed with her but he soon realizes he may not be the only one。 Violet is such an amazing and strong character but also vulnerable and trusting。 Eventually their hatred for each other turns into obsession and love。 OMG！！！ Greyson Devereaux has forever taken a place in my heart。 This story is so dark and twisted and I freaking loved it。 Greyson and Violet start off as enemies due to a past event。 He’s the self entitled rich boy who never gets told no and now what he wants is her。 He becomes so obsessed with her but he soon realizes he may not be the only one。 Violet is such an amazing and strong character but also vulnerable and trusting。 Eventually their hatred for each other turns into obsession and love。 I loved this book so much and I can’t wait to see what’s in store for the rest of the series。 This was my first S。 Massery book but will definitely not be my last。 I’m adding everyone of her books to my TBR。 Definitely on my list of favorite authors。 I received this book as an ARC in exchange for review。 Thank you S。 Massery and Greys promo。 。。。more

I have to say Brutal Obsession was all that & a bag of dark chips， and I didn't put it down for even a second until every last page was finished。 Greyson was a sexy piece of work， and it was hard to think anyone could stop him when he set his sights on them。 However， Violet was every bit his equal so her darkness matched his darkness step for step， and that's what sets this particular book above a ton of bully romance books （and I've done the legwork）。 Violet knows some things， and Grey doesn't I have to say Brutal Obsession was all that & a bag of dark chips， and I didn't put it down for even a second until every last page was finished。 Greyson was a sexy piece of work， and it was hard to think anyone could stop him when he set his sights on them。 However， Violet was every bit his equal so her darkness matched his darkness step for step， and that's what sets this particular book above a ton of bully romance books （and I've done the legwork）。 Violet knows some things， and Grey doesn't want those things revealed so he's determined to intimidate her into silence but the best laid plans amirite？！ This book has all kinds of dark goodness， super sexy times， and two people who kept me glued to the pages as they went toe to toe。 I don't want to say anything else since going in blind is the best， so don't pass it by as I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND！ 。。。more

When you find yourself rolling your eyes more often than not at the hero trying way too hard to be one of those dark-yet-sexy-as-fuck anti-heroes we all love， you know this book isn’t for you。DNF。

Admittedly， it took me a minute to get onboard with Greyson。 I wasn’t sure what to make of him for awhile and I didn’t like how he treated Violet。 But once he get himself and his feelings straightened out he really was able to shine through。 Learning about his background and his father helped a lot as well。 Violet was amazingly resilient。 After suffering through what was potentially losing her life’s work and dream， she still found ways to center herself and persevere and I loved that about her。 Admittedly， it took me a minute to get onboard with Greyson。 I wasn’t sure what to make of him for awhile and I didn’t like how he treated Violet。 But once he get himself and his feelings straightened out he really was able to shine through。 Learning about his background and his father helped a lot as well。 Violet was amazingly resilient。 After suffering through what was potentially losing her life’s work and dream， she still found ways to center herself and persevere and I loved that about her。 Her and Grey really brought out different sides of each other and it was interesting to watch that unfold。 Ultimately they are exactly what the other one needed。 Another wonderful S。 Massery story！！ 。。。more
