Helen Hardt did it again. Finished Obsession in an evening. I couldn't put the book down. I kept saying i will take a break after this chapter, but with the dual point of view it was impossible. I am not someone who would ever wish away time, but after that ending September can't come soon enough! Already pre-ordered Possession!

I have read a few of Helen's books. I believe this to be her best yet. It has passion between all the characters. Jade and Talon's attraction is intense and the mystery surrounding his past is compelling. To have his past unraveled by his need to be with Jade is bringing his torment to the forefront and scaring him which brings up Jade's protectiveness.

Marjorie is Jades bff  but also Talon's sister so the confusion and frustration Jade feels over the mystery and hiding her relationship with Talon is also taking a tole on Jade. She needs her best friend to help her emotionally but will the Steele family secrets hurt her best friend Marj and her live Talon?

The other two main characters are the brothers Jonah and Ryan. I believe they are privy to all the secrets of the Steele family and are hiding them from Marj and Jade. They will play key roles in future books and all the secrets unravel. Will they be able to support all the future family drama as it unfolds?

Jade's mother, the hot aging (airhead, in my opinion) super model open the old wounds Talon is trying to repress?  Who was the old man in the bar that Talon had the enlightened conversation with? (Jade's dad?)

This is a very emotional and compelling saga that I can't wait to read more about. Great book Helen!!

This book had be captivated from page one. Helen Hardt knows how to weave a storyline and make you fall in love with each character. The brooding, troubled Talon Steel has demons in his past that he must face that he has no desire to face until Jade Roberts, his sisters best friend comes along. Will she be the one to unlock his past and help him get the help he does not think that he needs. Grab a copy and curl up for a read you will not forget.

Be still my beating heart, I got to read about Peter again and DAAAMMMNNN that man is obsessively perfect (I think I need to visit Russia)!!!!! Anna Zaires has created a masterpiece, where it's basically impossible to put this book down at all until you've read the very last word. 'Obsession Mine' starts off where book 1 left us (right on the edge of our seats), Peter has kidnapped Sara as he is obsessively in love with her and refuses to live a life without her, even if it's selfish. Sara has been taken away from everything, her family & friends, her home and her job that she loves. She tries everything to reason with Peter, but she knows that Peter is dangerously lustful and violently in love with her and talking any sense into him isn't going to happen, so she waits until an opportunity presents itself where she can hopefully escape. But while she is waiting for the perfect moment, she is in a constant battle with her mind and body. Her body and heart want Peter as much as he wants her, but her mind is clouded with guilt and can't forgive the pain that Peter has caused her. Will Sara get her chance to escape or If she gets the chance, will she take it? Can Peter be selfless and let Sara free or is his obsession too much?

I want to lick Anna Zaires brain and roll around in her deliciously twisted mind, obviously in a non-creepy way, lol. This book just consumes me and I obediently submit to the pure talent and flawless writing that leaves me in awe. You are submerged into a world of intense passion, combustible chemistry, lethal personalities, spine tingling moments of lunacy, breathtaking insights of their souls and *the scenes ;)* are explosive (make sure you have a cold shower or significant other close by, lol). I could say so much, yet it still wouldn't give justice of how Anna Zaires is a brilliantly talented wordsmith. I was addicted to every page of this book, just like every book of hers before and that is why she is one of my favourite writers. I literally cannot wait for the next instalment with bated breath. This book deserves so much more credit than I can articulate, but if you want a book that captivates you and leaves you on the edge with goosebumps, then this is the book you need.

Having just reviewed the final book in the series No. 5 Hard Love I thought I'd revisit the opener.
Blake and Erica are great characters, well crafted and I warmed to them and have enjoyed their emotional rollercoaster through out subsequent books. Far superior to 50 Shades in every way.
However, If you want something more erotic and true to life may I suggest you try my favourite author of the moment, London wife Emma Styles who's "Distracted" and "First Tango in Paris" are factual (if a bit explicit for some) works of highly absorbing and well crafted Erotica.

Obsession was a great read on my kindle fire.

It's definitely one of those books that you just can't put down. It was very intense and if you like psychological thrillers than this is a great read!

I was so sad when it ended, I wanted to read MORE. I cannot wait for the sequel!

OMG!!! Im so glad I'm done with these books. They have consumed my life. This woman is an amazing writer. I was clearly obsessed and not accomplishing necessary daily duties so I could read. I loved every minute of it!

Ted Dekker is truely an amazing writer. His books just keep one so interested that it is hard to put his books down. I just have to keep reading to see what happens next. Ted has a way of bringing back the history of the concentration camps and what women had to go through. His characters are so real I feel like I know them personally. Obsessed has a little bit of everything... history, excitement, mystery, humor, romance, and so much more. Obsessed is a definate page turner. Be careful, you will become "Obsessed".

Once again, Jennifer Estep has not disappointed. And given that this is the 7th novel in the series, that's pretty impressive. Poor Gin. After the last novel where she finally gained closure on Donovan Caine, I was expecting her to enjoy some much deserved happiness (despite the continued assassination attempts). Owen just drove me crazy in this book. In my opinion, he deserves to lose Gin forever due to his actions. I can't wait for the next novel.

When I first started this series I was very unsure as it was a touchy subject used to start, Helen took me and won me, Ive diligently purchased all her Steel Brothers books and can't wait for the next, im not giving away any spoilers,but definitely start from the beginning and keep going.  WARNING:Helen Hardt is the absolute QUEEN of Cliff hangers....she always keeps you coming back for more. The purchase of the series is worth it.

The fourth book in this wonderful series by Helen Hardt, this is probably the best (although Alexandra was a REALLY tough act to follow). Great story line, hot sex scenes and an accurate historical portrayal of life at the time in which the story takes place. I hear rumors of a new series coming....I'll be among the first readers! If you haven't read this series, Sex and the Season, you have missed a great deal of good reading.

The final book in this series was a page turner and held my interest and kept me on edge as the truth was revealed.  I couldn't put it down.  The whole series is very well written.  I couldn't wait for each book to be released.  In this series you feel every emotion right along with the character it is written for.  Helen Hardt, very well done.  Very well done, indeed.

Talk about obsessive! Another intense thriller by Mofina. This author knows how to keep the reader totally engrossed in every second of his books. Excellent.

WOW.  A few minutes ago I finished reading Obsessed.  My college roommate introduced me to Ted Dekker a few months ago.  I first read Thr3e, which is still my favorite of his books.  Fortunately for me, Obsessed can be placed in the same topical/stylistic category as Thr3e, unlike the Colors Trilogy (which I did enjoy, just not as much).

He's done it again.  Even after reading several Dekker books and thinking I know what to expect, he still surprises me with his M. Night Shyamalan-style twists.

If you can handle glimpses into sadistic, obsessed Nazi minds, you will be rewarded with a vision of the strength of hope, love, and what is truly worth being obsessed over.
