Ok, so I swear this is more than just an S。 Massery stan account, BUT SARA!!!!! Oh my sweet lord, why do you do this to me!? The amount of deviance in this book has me legitimately questioning my sanity because I ATE THIS UP AND LEFT NO CRUMBS。 When the author warns repeatedly to not only check trigger warnings but tries to stave you from trying to see the good in her MMC, you know you’re in for a ride, and boy was this a freaking rollercoaster!

Greyson will always have the majority of my heart, but Steele O’Brien just changed the game for me。 Who needs checkered flags when this man could wave every red flag 🚩 through the finish line。 🥵🥵 I adored the way that he and Aspen were so unapologetically themselves with each other and fueled each other’s fire in a way that I have never truly experienced reading a book。 They were truly written as two perfectly demented (but prefect nonetheless) halves of a whole。 😂 I am always a sucker for Sara’s subplots and the twists that she slaps us in the face with in the third act of her books。 It adds so much dimension to the story and keeps me on the edge of my seat every single time。 The men of the CPU hockey team have corrupted me on such a deep level, and I am not even close to mad about it。 5/5 stars!!!! The Zamboni scene will live in my head rent free for life, I swear it。 。。。more

Daisy Nijs,
Steele and Aspen share a one night stand at a party。 But what they didn’t know at the time, is that they are stepsiblings… And now he will make her life a living hell。After reading Brutal Obsession, I just knew I would love this book。 S。 Massery’s bully romance is just perfect。 Her writings keep you away from real life。The trigger warnings provided by the author are all there in the book。 Both characters drive each other mad by playing these devious games。 I loved it!!!

When I read Brutal Obsession which is the first book in the series, Greyson’s book, I knew I was going to like Steele’s character。 He was one of Grey’s teammates and despite being included in some fun time with Grey and Violet he was this decently sweet guy。 Now, let’s fast forward to this book, because sweet he is not! I didn’t think the author could top Grey with being a delusional psychopath out to ruin his girls life but dang, I was wrong! Also, I mean this in the best possible way because I’m beyond obsessed with Steele。I knew from the first chapter that this book was going to be a 5⭐️ read for me。 Basically, the second that Steel and Aspen meet it is instant chemistry and the sparks just keep on burning hotter and hotter。 Is Steel a complete possessive, jealous alpha a-hole who is trying to ruin Aspens life while also wanting to own her? Absolutely。 Does he refuse to let anyone else have her? Yep。 Is he also trying to get rid of her while also wanting to worship her body? You betcha。 This man is a special kind of psychopath that just speaks to my soul。 He is unapologetic in his cruelty which knows no bounds。 Despite possessing all those character traits he’s probably the best match for Aspen。 Aspen is a firecracker all on her own who is not only battling some inner demons and past trauma but also has dark and depraved desires that match Steeles。 Aspen is just trying to get an education so she can play music but the odds were not in her favor。 Her family is a sore spot she wants to leave in the past that refuses to stay forgotten。 Her new step dad is holding her tuition over her head if she doesn’t follow through on the deal she was coerced to make。 Then her sweet and loving stepbrother aka Steele is trying to ruin her life while ravaging her body any chance he can get。 I absolutely loved Aspen and Steele together! I won’t say it wasn’t toxic because it’s probably the most toxic relationship I’ve read in a little bit but my goodness was it hot and beautiful in this weird psycho way。 They understood each other on a deeper level。 Yes, it was a bit depraved at times but there souls called to one another。 I can’t say enough good things about this book。 It most definitely won’t be for everyone so check your trigger warnings because this one is dark but man I’m obsessed! Im looking forward to getting to see a few more characters getting their own stories in the future! 。。。more

Drugging someone is not okayYeah so I get it, this is a dark romance。 I can handle everything else but drugging her with hallucinogenics and then they somehow still end up together。 No that’s not okay in any world。 That’s seriously too far for me。 I read the blurb about it but it still ticks me off to no end。

Slow burn who?!Absolutely no such thing as a slow burn here! Devious Obsession is deliciously spicy from page one! I had high expectations for Steele's story after being OBSESSED with Brutal Obsession。 Not only did this book meet my expectations, but it exceeded them。 Steele is dark and f****d up in the most delightful ways and his heroine is perfect from him in every way。 Their chemistry is of Slow burn who?!Absolutely no such thing as a slow burn here!

After reading Brutal Obsession I didn’t think I could love a character as much as I loved Grey and Violet。 Let me tell you I was so damn wrong! Devious Obsession is a dark bully hockey romance book。I absolutely loved Aspen, she honestly may be one of my favorite FMC ever。 I loved how strong she was even when she was weak。 She fought back when tested and came out so much stronger in the end。 We met Steele in Brutal Obsession (locker room scene🥵 my fave) and we surely didn’t see just how dark he w After reading Brutal Obsession I didn’t think I could love a character as much as I loved Grey and Violet。 Let me tell you I was so damn wrong! Devious Obsession is a dark bully hockey romance book。I absolutely loved Aspen, she honestly may be one of my favorite FMC ever。 I loved how strong she was even when she was weak。 She fought back when tested and came out so much stronger in the end。 We met Steele in Brutal Obsession (locker room scene🥵 my fave) and we surely didn’t see just how dark he was yet! I loved the ways he went after Aspen in the bully aspect。 The way these two fell in love and how they grew through out this book was phenomenal! Top of the line character development from Steele and Aspen, I loved watching it all unfold!Now the spice, PHEW it was HOT!! These two hate each other so much but they’re so insanely in tune with each other physically that all the spice scenes are so steamy! The scenes were very well written, had plenty of details and the darker ones were deranged but damn did I love them🤣This book is FULL of triggers so please make sure you look into those first! This is a standalone, however I definitely suggest reading Brutal Obsession first。 5/5⭐️4。5/5🌶️ 。。。more

A dark, deliciously twisted, and steamy hockey/stepbrother romance that captivates you and you doesn't let you go until the end。 Steele O'Brien is a jerk。 He hides his darker side behind his golden boy status as a hockey player and model son。 He's twisted, dark, devious, a bit depraved, cocky, and delicious。 When he finds out his mystery girl is his new stepsister, Aspen Monroe, he's not happy。 He's set his sights on her and he's determined to exact revenge。 But what happens when the revenge blu A dark, deliciously twisted, and steamy hockey/stepbrother romance that captivates you and you doesn't let you go until the end。 Steele O'Brien is a jerk。 He hides his darker side behind his golden boy status as a hockey player and model son。 He's twisted, dark, devious, a bit depraved, cocky, and delicious。 When he finds out his mystery girl is his new stepsister, Aspen Monroe, he's not happy。 He's set his sights on her and he's determined to exact revenge。 But what happens when the revenge blurs into obsession? She doesn't know it yet, but he will stop at nothing (I mean nothing!) to make sure that she will be his, and his alone。 He is also the bane of Aspen's existence when she finds herself stuck in close proximity to him。 So, why does Aspen find it hard to resist him? Let the games begin! This was wrong but oh-so-right! It is dark, steamy, and a little messed up but also twisted in the best way。 I loved the banter, the push-and-pull, and the sizzling hot passion。 You'll love to hate Steele but in the end, he redeems himself。 He's addicting, over-the-top possessive (I mean on another level), and sexy with a dirty mouth。 Aspen is a spitfire and gives as good as she gets。 She's the perfect person for Steel's depravity。 Their story takes you on a wild ride that you never want to get off of。 I highly recommend reading this book if you don't mind a few triggers, dark themes, and some depravity。 。。。more
