I already knew I liked Gianna from The Sweetest Oblivion. To unravel him until I understood every layer.īut sometimes, even the best gambler doesn’t know when to quit. He was cool, icy control.īut something burned hot beneath the surface. It felt like Gianna was the one who had so much light to her, whereas a darkness radiated out of Christian and it ended up devouring me until that very last page.

I was already smiling and laughing at them, but I was intrigued too. Gianna got locked up for having drugs and Christian was the Fed who got her out. Just our first chapter with Gianna, we watched her intact with Christian at jail. And while we were mainly in Gianna’s head, we also spent some chapters with Christian too. There were moments here and there that meshed with The Sweetest Oblivion and I was fascinated to get a different look at what happened. We started off getting caught up with Gianna’s past and then moved into the present. So, this was what it felt like to be touched by him. If you’re a fan of hate to love or mafia romance, then you definitely have to pick up this book! His grip on my wrists tightened, and my eyes grew half-lidded from the pressure. So when you combine all of that with writing that had an almost hypnotic feel to it, it made this story impossible to put down. The sexual tension was drawn out to perfection and I loved that it was an opposites attract story. The Maddest Obsession captivated my attention and was absolutely addicting! With violent and intimate moments swirled together, I was completely consumed. *Can be read as a standalone, though it is recommended you read The Sweetest Oblivion first to avoid spoilers from Book #1 Review: She’s chaos embodied, not his type, and married, but none of that can stop his eyes from following her wherever she goes.Īll along, she doesn’t even know that she’s his-his frustration, his fascination.

Nowhere in Christian’s plans had he ever prepared for Gianna. She hates him-his stone-cold demeanor, his arrogance and too-perceptive eye-but over the years, even as their games consist of insulting each other’s looks and intelligence, she begins to live to play with him. One winter night and their lives intertwine. With a proclivity for order and the number three, he’s never been tempted to veer off course. Christian Allister has always followed the life plan he’d envisioned in his youth, beneath the harsh lights of a frigid, damp cell. In the New York underworld, others know him as a hustler, a killer, his nature as cold as the heart of ice in his chest. Most see a paragon of morality a special agent upholding the law.

Little do most know it’s just a sparkly disguise, there to hide one panic attack at a time. She laughs too loudly, eats without decorum, and mixes up most sayings in the book. Her dresses are too tight, her heels too tall.
