Brutal Obsession by S. Massery
4.0

Look I dnfed this book twice before getting to this point. I honestly can’t explain why I went back to this book not once but TWICE, but I’m glad I did.

Look, there was a lot of suspension of disbelief with this book. There were a LOT of people obsessed with this MFC for no real reason. The MMC is super problematic and not in a good dark romance way. More in a wtf is wrong with you way (I grew to love him anyway though. What is wrong with me???). I also feel like this wasn’t an accurate representation of college hockey, but honestly all my college hockey knowledge comes from romance so wtf do I know? Lastly, just fair warning that the spice got a little excessive and vanilla after the first half.

That being said, I actually still really enjoyed this book lol (well I did on the third try). Why? I have no idea but I’m immediately starting the next book. It kept my attention and honestly it was pretty entertaining. Is this a literary masterpiece? No. Does it contain many of the tropes I know and love? Yes, yes it does.
