Book Review: Carnal Obsession

 


🔥 Tropes:
Bad boy x Bad girl • One night stand • Touch her and die • Doc x Artist • Forced proximity • Stalking • Grief • Hate to love • He falls first • Banter • Roommates • Obsessive love • Mafia

A one-night stand. A mafia obsession. A roommate she can’t escape.


Romi
When my friends force me to advertise for a new roommate, the last person I expect to turn up is the stranger I had a one-night stand with.
He says he’s a doctor, but I suspect that’s a total lie.
I can’t stand his arrogance or the fact that he’s always there, sticking his nose in my business.
But I can’t seem to keep my hands off him.
Even when every part of me screams that the man is dangerous.

Dante
When I get the chance to become second in command of the Italian Mafia, I take it because I want to undermine my brother.
I want to destroy everything he’s built.
That’s why, when I see his fiancée’s friend advertising for a roommate, I decide to move in with her.
I intend to use her to burrow deeper into my brother’s life and under his skin.
The good news? She hates me. The bad news? It makes me want her.
And I always get what I want.



My Review

Dante may have started out just wanting to get under his brother's skin by moving in as Romi's roommate but even he could not predict that he would fall in love. I felt drawn to Romi as soon as I met her. There was this quiet, gentle strength about her. Once you learned where this came from, you just want to hug Romi. 

"But he's also beautiful in a way I always imagined the devil would be."

OMG. This book had me in a clutch hold. Dante is morally gray but at the same time, the way that he cares for Romi is very endearing. She went through a lot. I love all of the books in this series but this one hit differently (in a great way). There was this tug and pull that Romi and Dante had with each other. This book is amazing! Definitely will be doing a re-read. 


*This is a brand new stand alone dark romance based in the same world as Insidious Obsession*
