Ayla goes to a club one night and for a brief moment she saw who we later learn is Marcus, she later goes outside and sees the beginning of a drive by shooting. Ayla steps in front of the shooter who was aiming at Marcus and his friends thereby saving his life. 2 years later that night has devastating consequences as Ayla lost part of her limb from the three bullets, she's working in a bar trying to save money for college.....until an attempted mugging up ends her world once again. Now Marcus and the guys step out of the shadows into Ayla's life...... But these men are not living ordinary lives and getting involved with them puts her in grave danger
******
The good
I enjoyed this one, Ayla is a strong and fierce h, moving forward with her life despite her physical disability
Marcus becomes obsessed with Ayla after she saved his life and had been silently looking out for her with the help of his two friends. When she's attacked though he rescues her and outing himself. I really liked how intense and focused on her he was, so much so I almost wished this was a m/f and not RH romance
The sexual chemistry was off the charts
The plot was interesting enough though I admit I didn't see things heading the way they did
The bad
I'm not sure the ages were confirmed but I'm thinking early twenties, this unfortunately reminded me of college bully romances(no bullying took place in this book) in that these guys are mega rich, with mansions and the best cars, with no other adults around.....yet none of them went to work. They all claimed to work for their parents yet never actually went to work......just badasses with fast cars, safe houses,mansions and no responsibilities aside from probably one phone call that I remember
The h saying fuck in every convo.....that does not a badass make
I actually would've preferred to see the h struggle a teeny tiny bit with her physical issue. It's like the author forgot sometimes she was missing a partial limb.....there was one scene during sex in book 2 where I was SURE she forgot 😂 I don't think I have such balance and coordinating even with my two hands
The bottom line?
My first read by this author and I enjoyed it. I will say that at the time of writing this review after some time has passed since I finished this book I'd actually go with a high 3 rather than 4 but that could also be because I didn't enjoy the rest of the books as much as I'd hoped.
Cliffhanger
RH though she's involved with only Marcus here I believe, the connection with the other 2 exists however
They're not together for 2 years in the beginning as the guys secretly watch out for her but I don't believe there were any others during that time for the guys
The h was sexually abused as a teen (can't remember in which book this is revealed)
This book started with promise, the premise was interesting with Ayla saving a "beautiful earth and air eyed man" from being shot, but in turn being shot herself and ends up losing part of her arm from the elbow down. But because she saved the mysterious man, said man decided that him and his two friends shall stalk Ayla for 2 and a half years...
At first I was like is this another Fifty Shades of Grey, where there is an alpha male who is rich and will stalk his "obsession"?
1ish star...DNF @ 87%This book started with promise, the premise was interesting with Ayla saving a "beautiful earth and air eyed man" from being shot, but in turn being shot herself and ends up losing part of her arm from the elbow down. But because she saved the mysterious man, said man decided that him and his two friends shall stalk Ayla for 2 and a half years...
At first I was like is this another Fifty Shades of Grey, where there is an alpha male who is rich and will stalk his "obsession"? And ummm yes it was kinda like that. I think that the fact that Marcus (the beautiful earth and air eyed man) literally stalks the crap out of our main character with his two friends Theo (the goofy not serious one) and Ryland (broad silent type).
You might think, "Kaity why did you still read the book if you know you didn't like it" and to that I tell you, "I like to torture myself if it isn't obvious".
I was wanting to know why Marcus and Co wanted to stalk Ayla and the only reason we got for the whole time is that he wanted to know her, and her heart and what goes on in her mind... and I'm like you couldn't have seen her when she was in the hospital or something 2 years earlier???!!!!!!!!
Also the fact when Ayla would have flashbacks about her time getting shot, she would have it mixed with a sex dream with the three boys, and I'm like "uhhh...hmmm that is weird... but to each their own, in your own dream world" and that is where I thought it would end... BUT nope when she has a flashback in real life with Marcus and bros, she decides to act on her dream of taking it head
on (yeah I did a penis joke if you didn't get it haha) but yes to clear this up she ended up having sex with Marcus and Theo (poor Ryland got the short end of the stick) while having a crippling flash back, and I am reading it thinking to myself, "there is no way that this is happening right now" SO that is where I decide to draw the line and stop myself from torture.
I will skim the end to just see what happens, but honestly I just don't care about these characters anymore. For having romance in this RH, I felt no romantic connection with Ayla with the other two guys besides Marcus, since she rarely hung out with the other two guys.
I don't get how this had such a high rating, but I must have missed the hype train for this, but its over and it is time to move on!

This series looks promising! I devoured the last half of the book. The first half seemed a bit slow, but I think that's because I was a bit clueless to what was going on with the story and characters.
Ayla is badass. She's always looked out for herself and doesn't need a knight in shining armor. She damn well doesn't need THREE, but she gets it whether she likes it or not.

One random night out at a club changed her life.. forever. She'll never be the same. She didn't have much going for her and she still doesn't.
3 men watch from the shadows. Watch her every move. One obsessed, one falling and one fighting for control - Marcus, Theo and Ryland. They watch. They wait. Finally they have to step out of the darkness and face the light. Face her. Ayla. The one who is so embedded in their heart and minds.
She'd recognize those eyes anywhere ... even in the darkness.

What control was once tethered with the 3 has now been snapped. She is back in their lives. They can't help it anymore. Now they just need to keep her safe.
This was a whirlwind read. That cliffhanger was... ugh!

Right away from the blurb, I just knew that Sweet Obsession was going to be something special. Something different. And now after reading it, I can tell you that I wasn't wrong in the least. It is absolutely Callie Rose at her finest and hands down, my favorite book of hers to date.Ayla hasn't had an easy go of things. Getting bounced around in the system from a young age, she's had to deal with some traumatic issues in her young life, but it isn't until one fateful night at a club when her life gets changed forever. Her path crosses with Marcus Constantine and their fate was entwined from that night forward.
Ayla is so incredibly strong, super stubborn, and feisty. She doesn't back down from anyone, or anything, and she gives as good as she gets. This is a girl who can easily dish it out.
Then there's Marcus. And Ryland. And Theo. Three alpha males who keep to the shadows of Ayla's life until they have no choice but to step back into the light. Marcus commands the room with his presence, while Theo's easy going demeanor and Ry's brooding nature complete the trifecta. They all offer something different, all complementary to the others. It doesn't take long for Ayla's walls to crack.
There is so much going on in this book, so many fun layers to peel back. Mystery, suspense, action, and chemistry so hot, it's nothing short of an inferno. I couldn't put this book down and kept needing to know more and more from these four. I cannot wait to see what happens next!

If you are familiar with "Battle Royale" you are going to really enjoy this steamy version. Sooo in this first book we get glimpses of Ayla and Marcus' story. They have a nice chemistry and at the end of the book there is a major turn and an even bigger CLIFFHANGER! Diving right away in the next book!

As for our h, Ayla, we meet her in the beginning when she's out with some people from school and that night she saves Marcus's life— who is a stranger to her. She shouldn't have survived, but she did. Two years later circumstances bring three shadowy figures back into her life. She's drawn to them, they are drawn to her and everything from there turns into questions, secrets, lies, want, sex, tension, games and bloodshed.
This foursome is exciting and sexy. I'm so excited to explore more of their dynamic and how see how their story unfolds! Also, I need to not have to live with that cliffy for too long— ya girl is over here biting her nails in anticipation for answers!

Callie Rose dropped a massive bomb and the book turned from good to what in the ever loving fuck am I reading. I was on the edge of my seat, I was breathing fast, I couldn't get enough and then guess what... THE MOST MADDENING CLIFFHANGER EVER! And I have to wait until August to read the next book!

This story went by incredibly fast but was also incredibly cringy. I have no interest reading the rest of the series.
I still haven't decided on a rating and while I downloaded the second book right after finishing the first, I never went to read it.
And I'm not certain I will.
This book is good and dark. But I guess it gotta be dark when the three love interests are genuine stalkers.

I kind of love the idea. Fantasizing about book stalkers is weird but fortunately, nobody judges me to my face when I read about those. But the thing that goes with my fantasy is the toxic power balance I believe there should be between the stalker and the stalkee.
Which doesn't happen here. The men have the upper hand all the time because the heroine is just too broken to get a reaction about anything else than disrespect.
Because while Marcus worships her, he definitely does not respect his savior.
But see, the heroine's life is shit and that's what makes it so dark. It might have mafia undertones and talks about gang wars or whatever, what makes the story dark is Ayla herself.
Ayla comes from foster homes. She's been used and abused, she's been beaten, she has struggled to make a life for herself.
But one fateful night, an unwanted selfless act made her jump between three bullets and Marcus Constantine and irrevocably changed her life - to the worst.
She lost her arm and she dropped out of school, but most of all she lost herself. She lives in constant fear, misery, and self-loathe because she cannot accept her own actions ruined her whole life. She tells everyone and herself everything was an accident because she doesn't understand why she would have chosen to save a stranger -even a handsome one- and end up with nothing other than phantom pain and a crappy waitressing job.
Ayla is sad.
She's a sad character.
She's also fucking strong because like I said, her life really sucks.
And the poor girl deserves a break. She makes me want to bang my head against a wall and I just want her to run far, far, far away from her stalkers. She saved Marcus Constantine's life but she didn't deserve his obsession, his love, and his darkness. She didn't deserve to be stalked for two years as a reward and she certainly didn't deserve to fall in love with her stalkers.
Ayla deserved to be handed a nice amount of money and be able to start a new life under the sun, far away from this toxic city, these toxic men, this toxic relationship she is starting, and this toxic need she has for Marcus Constantine, and the fear and pain he brings her.
Sweet Obsession was kind of a fantastic read but too sad to really enjoy. Even if I sometimes like my romances dark, I wanted to cry all the time.
I know this was only the first book of a trilogy, and I am sure they will get their well-deserved happy end based on respect and love by book three. But I'm not sure I can go through all the journey and would rather jump directly to the happy ever after.

Trigger warning:
Violence, stalking, loss of an arm, mention of sexual abuse, kidnapping, and more I'm sure.
Our characters in this book are Ayla, Marcus, Ryland, and Theo. I felt like we didn't learn anything about these characters, especially the boys. I don't even mean their backstory; it's fine if that's hidden, especially in a trilogy. The problem was we barely spent any time with these guys, so I feel like I don't know anything about their p
This book was fine. Not a bad start to a series, and it kept me reading, but there were definitely some issues, and I was left wanting a bit more at the end.Our characters in this book are Ayla, Marcus, Ryland, and Theo. I felt like we didn't learn anything about these characters, especially the boys. I don't even mean their backstory; it's fine if that's hidden, especially in a trilogy. The problem was we barely spent any time with these guys, so I feel like I don't know anything about their personalities and the reason why Ayla would like them or what differentiates them. If I don't know anything about them, it confuses me why Ayla would be in love with them.
The plot was fine, more interesting to me than the romance but still had some weird parts. The balance between sex and plot was really off at the beginning. There were too many meaningless sex scenes and not a lot of development of feelings or the plot. Points off for not wearing a condom the first time Ayla sleeps with Marcus too. She later is like "it's fine because I've been on birth control since I was fifteen." Like girl, that's not the only reason to wear a condom when you're sleeping with a stranger! Since this is marketed as a dark romance and starts with a shooting, I'm expecting for there to be more plot throughout the book rather than just sticking it all at the end.
I am intrigued by the ending, mostly because it ends with a cliffhanger. I did think the plot twist was a little silly but I'm expecting a little bit of unrealism in this type of story so it didn't bother me as much. I do want to see a bit more from book two. I want to see actual relationship development rather than the love-at-first-sight stuff we got here and I want a better integration of the external plot throughout the whole book. I will read the next book because this is a fun story and not a bad read but I did want just a bit more.

I'm just disappointed because the premise was so promising. The idea of someone getting shot for you and having to live a very different life due to the loss of a limb was very interesting. The men she saved coming back into her life was cool too. And then everything fell apart from there. Oh well. I won't be reading any more of this series. Thanks. ...more
On to actual thoughts about the story.
For the majority of the book I thought it was going to be a pnr. Don't ask why, I don't know! Maybe it was the ethereal feel to her dreams or her "connections" with the guys? I was expecting vampire or shifters at the end…so don't be like me. It has zero pnr action. It's a RH, but there are only a couple steamy scenes and those are with one guy.

Ayla was raised in the foster care system and (view spoiler)[ was raped by her foster father at the age of 15. This isn't really discussed in detail, but we know she tried to take her own life after that. (hide spoiler)] Also, she may or may not have a younger brother. Ayla was 17 when she lost part of her right arm when she jumps in front of bullets meant for a stranger (at the time) named Marcus.
Some of the plot points felt off, or brushed over.
-All the MC's are 17/18 in the first chapter, and are at a bar drinking and dancing. Maybe all four of them used fake ID's? The bulk of the story takes place 2.5 years after this, so they are all around 22/23.
-Marcus, Ryland, and Theo are the H. They are very wealthy, but we never hear about them actually working. They live in a huge mansion, have nice clothes, and garage filled with expensive cars, etc.
-Ayla has a gorgeous half sleeve but says she barely has enough money to feed herself and pay her own rent, how the heck did she afford that expensive tattoo? We are reminded a few times that she's trying to save up money to attend college. (works as a bartender and temp aid)
- The entire reason for the story felt really stupid and a bit of a let down...probably because I was expecting werewolves. I thought that (view spoiler)[the gangster that lost his wife and didn't have any kids might have secretly been her father and when he found out about Ayla, he was going to leave his empire/town to her. Not the lame group of men that are trying to kill each other off for the privilege of ruling. (hide spoiler)]

I'm a huge Callie Rose fan so I had high expectations for this book, and it DID NOT DISAPPOINT. Y'all, what a start to this series.
As per usual, my review will have some small spoilers
First, let me say that I LOVED our main female lead, Ayla. She's so tough on the outside, and will do absolutely anything to keep anyone from viewing her as weak. But she's soft on the inside. She hurts. She gets her feelings hurt. She feels alone. She feels worthless. You ache for her, for the life she's had to live. But even though she might be hurting on the inside, she'll be damned if she lets anyone know.
Our guys are great. We have the usual one guy who is serious and obsessed with her, the one who seems happy go lucky and smooth as hell, and the broody one who seems to not want anything to do with her. Marcus is five alarm H O T and boy will he have you sweating. His absolute obsession with Ayla is madness, yet beautiful. I want my own Marcus, Jesus he can heat up the pages. He would do anything for her, but one thing he won't do, is let her go. And I'm totally here for a possessive alpha male. Theo is smooth and calm personified. Ryland is broody and mysterious. We've only seen things get real serious with Marcus so far, and I'm excited to see things heat up with Theo and Ryland in the next book.
A little backstory: 2 and a half years ago, Ayla made the selfless decision to jump in front of a bullet to protect a man she didn't even know. Present time, we have that same man and his sidekicks popping back up in her life and making her wonder if they ever even truly left her life, even if she didn't know they were there. We watch her deal with PTSD, flashbacks, and panic attacks related to the incident. We watch her go from wanting these men to butt the hell out of her life… to not knowing what she would do without them, because they've somehow ended up as permanent fixtures in her life. We don't know much about the guys and what they do for a living. We obviously know they're involved in some shady shite and Ayla doesn't ask too many questions. I thought it would bother me that she didn't try to learn more about them, but Callie Rose wrote the storyline so flawlessly that it makes sense WHY Ayla didn't want to know more. She didn't want them to stay in her life, she wanted to go back to her life of solitude, so she didn't want to know more than she needed to. But once she decided she needed them, all hell broke loose and at that point she knew she needed answers, and she got them.
I NEVER expected where this storyline was going. The whole idea of "The Game" was actually brilliant. Like with all RH novels, you have to suspend reality a little, but I found myself able to believe this storyline pretty easily.
As usual, Callie Rose's character development is on point. You feel like you know these characters so well (minus Theo and Ryland at this point, but we will get to them in the next book). You can understand the actions of these characters because Callie puts you in their heads so well, which to me is hard to do since this is only in Aylas perspective. But she did it. And she did it well.
Warning, this book ends on a killer of cliffhanger, but THANKFULLY, this series is completed, so we don't have to wait for the next book to find out what happens.
Do yourself a favor and READ THIS BOOK!!

Two years ago, a split-second decision changed everything. I risked my life for a man I didn't even know and nearly died for it.
I've tried to forget him. To forget that whole night.
But he hasn't forgotten me.

Obsessing.
Craving.
And when he crashes back into my life like a wrecking ball, accompanied by two dark shadows—men he calls his brothers—the life I've been trying to rebuild for myself shatters into a thousand sharp-edged pieces.
He believes our souls are bound by blood, and he's come back to claim what's his.
Two years ago, I saved Marcus Constantine's life.
Now I wish I hadn't.

I need the next book like I need air and I have no idea how I'm going to wait! This is definitely
