Review: Consumed by Seth & O
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 06 12, 2014
I loved Seth and Olivia from the beginning of this series. Forever Consumed takes us on Seth and O's journey as a married couple, and the challenges faced by them that pushes trust, faithfulness, strength and love to the core. I loved the romance and heat between Seth and O, this pair definitely knew how to turn the heat up and leave you at their mercy. As Seth trains for his upcoming epic fight with his nemesis Don Russell, we see O by his side and the pair couldn't keep their hands off each other, with Seth doing the talking it was understandable that O was going nowhere but under him lol. I enjoyed the build-up of tension between Seth and Don as they prepared to battle, but I felt for me the conflict moments weren't enough I wanted to see Seth train even harder, instead Seth does the unthinkable and puts his marriage at risk, he really left me angry, heartbroken and disappointed in his words and actions as he tried to handle situations himself by seeking it out. Seth was so hurtful, selfish and his reasoning to keep quiet and his justification for behaving the way he did had me cussing and hating his ass, I caved in the end lol. Now Olivia, god I seriously didn't know who I wanted to slap more her or Seth, for me O was way too forgiving for my liking with no punishment rendered on her part. I wanted her to scream and shout at Seth, slap him, make him sweat it out, put some distance between them, woman do something, anything to give us some satisfaction and to keep that image in our heads, as to how much she had grown as a confident woman from the first two series, a woman who could handle her own s***! Instead we see a weak and pathetic woman who lets the fear of losing Seth over rule her head, seriously she might as well of just watched the live show?! Urgh frustration overload! Her character in this was a real let down for women who know how to respect themselves, and make their husbands work for it. I'm all for second chances but hell no would I be back in the bedroom so soon lol! I loved Darryl and his fatherly presence in Seth's life. Selena needs to understand the definition of real friendship, I hated her in this but I couldn't help love the scenes between her and Jackson. Overall I was on the scale of rating this a three but in the end I tilted towards a four, as I love Skyla Madi's writing, and her words just jump out and consume you whole. I loved the fight scene and the ending, I'm sad for Seth and O, they really were a sweet and amazing couple who truly loved one another, despite what could have ruined them they worked through their issues, I couldn't hate Seth forever! I am so excited for Selena and Jackson's story Slammed (Relinquishing Control) to come out, hopefully we can catch up with more Seth and O. I hope it's going to be just as good if not better!
