Obsession: Addiction Duet Book 2 by Vivian Wood

Wow what a book. This is the conclusion of Sean & Harper's what had started off as a rocky love story that comes to completion in their quest to be there for each other. Mercy Vivian has just outdone herself in this book. This story just flowed from one word into the next that you can't help but not want their story to stop. I just loved Sean & Harper it was like these characters jumped off the pages and came alive as you read their story. This is most definitely a must read.

I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

This is the second book in this duet. It picks up right where Addiction left off. I absolutely loved this one as much as I loved Addiction. I loved being able to see what happens between Sean and Harper. These two are amazing with each other. There is great character chemistry and it is well written in this book. Vivian blew me away with these two characters. I highly recommend reading this one. You will enjoy reading it as while as the first one.

This fast paced book had me hooked! I wanted to know more about the chemistry of the 2 main characters, and boy was I in for it! 

If you like BDSM, voyeurism and a little bit of danger. Read this book! 

As always check your triggers as this book does talk about ED. 

The cliff hanger it ends on should be illegal!

Hot cover on this one. Good representation of the hero. Excellent composition and title work as well.

This one was a bit hit and miss for me. While I found myself pulled into the plot and curious about the characters the writing was off for me. It felt clunky and just didn't have a good flow to it. My other issue was, from the blurb it sounded like I was going to get a good dark D/s book, but really what I got was a book weighed down (too bogged down at times) with major issues. Alcoholism. Eating disorders. Abuse.



To be honest, after awhile I just started to skim over the pages and pages of calorie counts, exercise, and fat talk. I wanted less focus on those things and more on the romantic relationship. The above issue stopped me from feeling a connection between these two characters.

So yeah, this started off strong, but by the end, I was struggling to finish it. I will admit I am slightly curious to see what happens with these two characters in the next book. Whether or not I am interested enough to read it remains to be seen.

This was a very interesting book. Good, but interesting. Harper and Sean meet when she walks into the tattoo parlor that he works at. She isn't like the other girls she comes in with and Sean is instantly drawn to her. They start out getting to know one another and things start to move faster than they expected. However, Sean has a dark side, and a past that he's not proud of. He doesn't think he deserves Harper. But he doesn't realize that Harper has struggles of her own, and that hers could be far worse than he even are. What I liked about this book is that it dealt with addictions. Alcohol seems to be an addiction that you hear a lot about in books. But eating disorders aren't something that you normally read a lot about. It's been awhile since I thought about the struggles of an eating addiction. This isn't something that you want to just ignore. It makes you think and it really depresses you to think that they are people out there that think these things on a regular basis. As hard as it was to read about I think it really helped keep me reading more. Even more so with that ending. I want to know what is gonna happen, did I mention I dislike cliffhangers? I'm definitely looking forward to reading the next book in this series. Oh and I have to say, I'd really like to punch Harper's mom... just throwing that out there. *I voluntarily read an advanced copy for an honest review.*

I found that I didn't like this book as much as I liked the first book Addiction. This book centered more along the lines of Harper and her disorder. It wasn't easy reading it, that's for sure, especially when you add in the little twist. I actually wanted to scream at her because of the things she was thinking and her inability to have faith in Sean and his love for her. But then again, I knew I couldn't because her thoughts were mentally drilled into her as a young girl and she couldn't fight them, at first. Once she started going down the right path and fighting for herself, then I started liking her more. Sean wasn't the smartest in this book either. He was right to wait until she came to him but he could have stood up more and been an alpha outside of the bedroom. I also wasn't to thrilled with how the whole Sean/Ashton thing panned out. Ashton's reasoning was so stupid and nothing that a smart adult would have used, then again he probably wasn't a smart adult. While I didn't enjoy this book as much as Addiction I still enjoyed it. It really opens your mind and perspective when it comes to eating disorders and what some people will do to look and feel "perfect." *I voluntarily read an advanced copy of this book for an honest review.*

This was a good wrap up to the story. I enjoyed Harper’s storyline, which had kept me reading all along. But I didn’t sense a lot of romance. Their relationship seemed... forced to me. Despite them talking about how much they cared for each other, I just didn’t feel it as a reader. And I wish they had explained a bit more about what happened at the end of the first book. After about a month in between I had mostly forgotten. Yet it wasn’t talked about much.
