This may be a strong statement, but if I could do nothing but read Jamie Applegate Hunterโs nonsense romantasy I would be as happy as a clam.
๐ ๐๐ผ๐ผ๐ธ ๐๐ป๐ณ๐ผ๐ฟ๐บ๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐ผ๐ป: Obsessively Yours by Jamie Applegate Hunter
๐ ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ฟ๐ถ๐ฒ๐: Fae Kings of Eden character series. Book 2.
๐ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐ถ๐ป๐ด ๐๐ฒ๐๐ฎ๐ถ๐น๐: E-book ARC on Kindle. ๐ on KU.
๐ ๐๐ฒ๐ป๐ฟ๐ฒ: Fantasy romance
๐ ๐ง๐ฟ๐ผ๐ฝ๐ฒ๐: Fated mates, right person wrong time, childhood friends-to-lovers, touch her and die, virgin MMC.
๐ ๐ฆ๐๐ป๐ผ๐ฝ๐๐ถ๐: Violet and Roman had an immediate spark, but the gods select her twin to be his mate instead. The pair deal with over a decade of struggling - trying to survive apart and then trying to find a way to be together.
๐ ๐ฅ๐ฒ๐๐ถ๐ฒ๐: JAH loves to say that this series just isnโt that serious. And sheโs right - itโs unhinged, and if I looked at it with a microscope I could pick it apart. But when itโs excellent writing and a feral MMC and you canโt help but stay up all night turning pages? Sometimes the microscope doesnโt matter.
Roman and Violet delivered on everything I loved about the first book in this series. Banter, never ending devotion, pining, angst, other woman drama, and spice that makes you blush? Iโm in.
There were a few moments I was shocked. A few moments I fanned myself. One or two tear-jerking moments. Some twists and turns. This book had it all. I loved every minute, and I canโt wait for the next one.

I was lucky enough to get an e-ARC.
I loved the male main character in this one, completely unhinged, which is my type (therapy anyone?) And his mom? Loved her too.
The longer length of this book really worked in its favor. The story and characters had time to settle in, which made me feel more invested compared to the first book in the series (which was much shorter). I also enjoyed that we got to follow the characters from their childhood, with short glimpses into certain years, it really showed how their relationship developed over time. Mucho like.
My favorite part? The letters. I'm such a sucker for that kind of thing. I need to tell my husband to start to write letters to me (he probably won't).
Just when I thought things were starting to fall into place, Iโd look at how much was left and realize, nope, more twists incoming. This happened several times.

I really enjoyed this book. I wasn't sure what to expect from it, since it is a fantasy romance with very little fantasy aspects, but I actually really enjoyed it.
I was obsessed with Violet and Roman's story, although I wish they had been together the entire time. I did find Vivian and Violet's story to be a little triggering for me, just because of some personal aspects of it.
This isn't a book with a ton of plot, so I feel like if you go into it with those expectations, you'll really enjoy it. There's also very little world building so I feel like it would be a good introduction to fantasy books

This was such a cute read! Definitely good if you need a low stakes fantasy read, as the fantasy plot is minimal and overall not a huge factor to the real meat of the storyโฆ. The romance.
The way Roman loves violet endlessly has me swooning. And though it takes a bit of a buildup for the big reveal, hot damn is it worth the wait.

5 freaking stars! I loved Roman and Violet. I loved their banter. I loved their chemistry. I loved everything about them.
This was so much better than Viciously Yours and I think itโs because we got to see them fall for each other from the start. Violet brought that boy/man to life. He was her fierce protector ready to do whatever was needed to keep her safe and avenge her. I loved that they did activities together. Their pranks were so much fun. Him turning into a shell enthusiast for her.. perfect. I appreciated Vi making sure that Rome did things for himself and made sure he laughed.
I loved that her nickname was Princess because he thought she looked like a fairytale Princess when they first met.
I loved all the connections to the Vincula Realm. Samyaza, Orcus, the seraphim. JAH is really setting up a multiverse and Iโm here for it! I also need Samโs book prontoooo! I miss him.
I loved War. I loved how dedicated and protective of Violet he was from the start. Even when her and Roman werenโt speaking, War was there.
Babs?!? Come on. Freaking perfect. I was hoping she would have became Viโs familiar now that she has royal fae magic. It kind of felt like thatโs where it was going but no, just a pet. It was cute she terrorized War too lol
Vivian was of course the obvious villain and she was a good one. Sibling rivalry that went too far on Vicโs part..
The other villain I didnโt see coming. Well not the way it ended up. I had an idea of what their motivation was and I was partly correct. There was just a deeper plot with that person and once we got all the pieces it all made sense.
Lastly. Fuck Marissa. She was the worst and I wish Vi had done more to her. I do hope the next ones donโt have an obsessed, obviously in love but oblivious to the MMC friend that tries to intervene. This happened in the first book and again this one. I donโt want the stories to be too formulaic. There are other ways to create angst or tension than a jealous girl who doesnโt have a chance.

Okay, I loved Viciously Yours so when I had the opportunity to read this one early, I actually screeched with excitement. ๐๐ค
Let me tell you guys, I COULD NOT PUT IT DOWN!!! I loved Rennick in Viciously Yours, but Roman may have stolen my heart in this one! I loved how thoughtful he was and how he was secretly kind of a nerd. ๐ I enjoyed reading how down bad he was for Violet. He was obsessive, possessive, jealous, protective, and absolutely gone for her. He is morally black and a bit ridiculous in the best way. Major touch-her- (or upset her)- and-โ ๏ธ energy. Violet is more of a soft, damsel in distress type FMC who is kind, creative, playful, and sweet. I love that she taught him to laugh and be less serious. ๐ฅฐ
I loved that this book was much longer than the first book as it gave me more time to really connect with the characters. I really liked that the first ten chapters took the time to show how their relationship developed from immediate childhood friends to something more and explored the challenges and complex dynamics related to this before getting to the current timeline. (I was already smitten with how cute they were together by chapter 2 haha ๐)
There is quite a bit of OWD & OMD, but Roman was ALWAYS with her and devoted to her mind, body, and soulโฆeven if she didnโt always realize it. ๐ His heart never stopped being Violetโs even when they werenโt meant to be together. Itโs a bit of a slow-burn due to their circumstances, but when the spice does pick up later in the book, itโs spicyyyy. ๐ฅต๐ฅ
I really enjoyed our cast of side characters! I especially loved War, Romanโs familiar, who looked out for Violet and cared for her like he was her familiar not Romanโs lol, and Slayton who was a great friend to them both (loathe as Roman would be to admit to the friendship lol), and Romanโs parents (who especially his lowkey violent mom haha.)
I also liked that, like in the first book, there was an epistolary element to this book too! Iโm always a sucker for letters and notes!๐
I feel like if you like Fantasy Rom-Coms like Assistant to the Villain but want it less cozy and more unhinged and/or you like Dark Rom-Coms like Butcher and Blackbird, but you want it fantasy, youโd probably like this series! I donโt if itโs actually categorized as a Dark Fantasy Rom-Com, but I personally find the unhinged ridiculousness of the MMC in this book so funny. He definitely had me giggling! The FMC was also pretty funny too! This series is the perfect balance of sweet, swoony, spicy, and unhinged. Itโs such a fun time! Iโm a little obsessed (see what I did there? lol ๐).
Thank you to Jamie Applegate Hunter for providing me with this ARC in exchange for an honest review!
