It’s unhinged and dark and sweet and completely angsty, tragic insta-love that spans more than 10 years.
There is a TON of other woman / other man drama, but the two main characters are just so unbearably obsessed with each other that the majority of the OWD/OMD didn’t even matter to me lol.
Some things didn’t make sense, not much world-building happened, the relationship between Violet and Vivian made me so mad… Also, why couldn’t Roman have told Violet that he liked her back at any point and spent 12 years trying to figure out how to break/transfer the bond?? Instead of angsting and murdering and stalking and pining… but honestly that was all pretty fun to read about. Still, I don’t know why Violet had to spend 12 years in the dark about what they were to each other.
I know this is technically pretty dark but this was overall a giggly good time to me. I LOVED the side characters, Roman and Violet’s band of friends were delightful. The banter between Violet and Roman actually had me laughing out loud a couple times. Roman’s parents were also hilarious, especially his mom lmao
I think I enjoyed the first 2/3 of this book more than the last 1/3. I’m glad Violet started getting wise to some of the sabotage attempts and finding out the truth about Roman’s feelings for her but it still seemed to drag for awhile between finding out they loved each other and actually getting together, as if they hadn’t both been pining for over a decade. It just felt like the last 1/3 of the book wasn’t structured or paced as well as the first 2/3. It didn’t seem to flow very well and I think as a result, the climax of their decade-long epic love story just didn’t have quite the emotional punch that I had been hoping for.
Also, once they were finally together, there was one awkwardly added spicy scene that just seemed out of place and gratuitous and it kinda threw me off. Don’t get me wrong, it was hot and well-written, there was just zero build up to it. I did, however, really enjoy the post-wedding scene, I thought that one worked and fit the story and their characters well.
I’ll probably be reading the rest of the series since I do love the way this author really leans into the angst and pining and absolutely deranged MMCs

The infidelity is purely for discussions of it and Violet being led to believe her sister was being unfaithful to Roman, meanwhile Vivian and Roman were never in a romantic relationship. There’s a lot of messy manipulation in this book that may be categorized as infidelity, but never between the MCs.

Really enjoyed Obsessively Yours more than the first book. If you’ve read Viciously Yours, you might remember Roman. Rest assured that he’s just as obsessed with his girl as you’d hope for.
This book follows his story and the drama around his fated mate. I really liked all the twists and turns and betrayals that I wasn’t expecting. Appreciate that this longer than book 1 since that one felt too short.
Highly recommend for when you are looking for a fun little uncomplicated read. While you can absolutely read these as standalone, I recommend reading them in order to get the best experience but if you don’t, know to won’t be lost.
Thanks to Jamie Applegate Hunter for the ARC that allowed me to read it a few days ahead of the rest of y'all.
