Length: 2375 kindleStyle: Contemporary RomanceStory: GOODIntimacy level: Sex-citingly FLIRTY / GOODEnjoyment: GOODSeries: The Obsess Series (book# 1)Damn you, Deborah Bladon, I need to know what happens A.S.A.P, I don't know if I can wait on book 2. Sometimes I detest these cliffhangers / three and two part series. However, apart from that, I enjoyed this novella. It felt as though it would have been just another blah read for my personal taste, but I was really enthralled in the story line and what was taking place between each characters.Jax Walker is very calculating, manipulative, demanding, aggressive and seems a bit ruthless in certain ways that you may not know about. But with those traits played out in Obsessed, it was a turn on seeing his demeanor changes depending on the situation at hand when it comes to Ivy. In Jax's world, it's like a giant chess board and everyone are pieces that he moves around and plays with. Apart from that, he is very sexy and I love his encounter with Ivy in the bathroom, creepy, but very hot. I can admit his personality can come off a bit scary and cold at times but also sweet which works to his advantage and he does it so well in the story. Ivy has a very interesting situation with the people she surrounds herself with, she isn't able to trust anyone. I mean with friends like Liz, who needs enemies and with bosses like Maddie, who seems thirsty, you would think there was a drought of men in Manhattan.Of course I had a few eye rolling moments throughout reading and I also hate that I have to wait. Nevertheless, I enjoyed it and I am hoping that the author carries the same memento through to book 2. If you like your men a bit aggressive, with a hint of controlling tendencies mix with sexy, then you will enjoy Jax and crave more as the story unfolds. If that isn't your thing then you may be unsatisfied. With each reader it defiantly boils down to taste and what you look for in your story and men.
