Obsession: Addiction Duet Book 2 by Vivian Wood
5.0
ARC... Very Honest & Unpaid Review:
Wow....this book was amazing!! I didn't expect either of the stories to be so intense and explore such heavy issues, which, in my opinion, were done very well. Seriously, I really couldn't help myself. I was totally engrossed in this storyline from the very beginning.
This story continues and jumps right into the legal troubles of Sean, who is a recovering alcoholic. Harper is the woman he truly cares for but is afraid of losing because he's ashamed of the man he is; the man who had succumbed to the powers of alcohol.
This is all new to Sean. He never thought that he could or would feel this deeply about a woman. But darn it if Harper doesn't have her own issues. As a model, she struggles heavily with eating disorders and body image distortion. My heart really went out to her, and I wanted so desperately to shake her, to help her see that although no one is perfect, she is amazing. Harper really had a hard time recognizing her beauty, both inside and out.
Ms. Wood is so good at getting readers to feel the heat between her characters. The love between Harper and Sean is undeniable and one of a kind. The chemistry between these two is so hot & steamy, they can't seem to stay away from each other, no matter how hard they try. Not being able to resist any longer, they inevitably jump right back into a strong, intense, Dom/sub sexual relationship. Let me just add, the scene with the blade had me quite nervous though and a little on edge. I was very relieved when it all worked out, although I definitely won't be trying any of that at home!!...whew!!
I commend Sean for how strong, caring, and concerned he was for Harper while he was finally getting himself together. He was there for her all the way, even when she couldn't see it or didn't realize it. It WAS a little frustrating seeing Harper not relying on Sean when he'd proven himself trustworthy. No matter what, Sean didn't let that deter him. He showed her over and over again that he could be someone she could depend on, someone to help her, be her strength.
The love that Harper and Sean have for each other is the beautiful kind--the kind that's been tested, met with many difficulties, unexpected discoveries, and devastating losses, but came out the other end stronger and better--Tried and True!
**Other Characters:
I loved Sean's brother Connor, and Connor's wife Sam. No matter how difficult, Connor did everything possible to be there for his brother. In this story, he's a man of few words, but he's also loving, kind, strong, loyal, forgiving...
"P" (Philip)--Harper's friend...he held back no punches, straight up, hilarious as hell, but REAL...and exactly what Harper needed in a friend...
**Still couldn't like Ashton though...he was a selfish, self-centered jack@$$!! Sean is a better person than I am because there's no way I'd even have two words left for him other than, f... forget you...lol...!
