SLOW BURN!! Surprisingly, I liked it! I think I liked it better than Ace/Elena. Christian was to die for and Gianna was a perfect romance FMC. She had multiple healthy relationships with women around her and men that respected her. She was funny, sassy, and stood up for herself... which I feel like are things that are difficult to find in some romance books. Would definitely recommend.

Awwww Gianna and Christian’s relationship is sooo cute. I love how she is the first one to finally show him what he’s missing. The enemies to lovers was sooo well done. Loved this book and loved this series

4.0

The Maddest Obsession was a hell of a ride I'll tell you that much. First things first, the book plays off in two parts: the first part spans the seven years since Gianna met Christian, and the second part goes down during the present (around the time of The Sweetest Oblivion). Furthermore, Gianna's perspective plays out during a variety of periods but Christian's either happen during the present or throughout the period at the end of the book. Personally I did not find this too confusing (even though I'm explaining it terribly) but I can see why there is the potential for it. Be sure to read the author's note before reading the book.

On to the actual book I loved the complexity of it (and I don't just mean the timeline). Gianna and Christian are both very complex characters who had to work and wait for their happily ever after. Their past trauma prevented both of them from truly opening themselves up to love and seeing them both take the risks to be happy and being there for one another was beautiful. Also, this was the one time I didn't mind a *certain trope* from appearing (if you know, you know).

Ultimately the book was just well written and an entertaining read. I can't say too much without spoiling it, but I can say that I really enjoyed all 3 the books in this series and I think you will too.
