Secret Obsession by S. Massery

5.0

This book is quite intense and very spicy. While it is well-written, I found it hard to believe that Willow could truly overcome everything Miles had done. His obsession with her adds a dark layer to the story.

Miles has loved Willow for a long time, but he employs a range of troubling methods to try to make her love him and be his forever. Some of his actions stem from a desire to help her quit her destructive behavior, but in my opinion, he takes it too far.

Willow reluctantly allows him to act in these ways under the guise of love. She also has her own dark side that sometimes aligns with Miles's. Having experienced trauma in her past, she makes some destructive choices throughout the story that Miles wants to help her stop.

It’s important to note several trigger warnings in this book, including kinks like blood play, restraints, and somnophilia. Additionally, there are elements of dubious consent (DubCon), non-consent (NonCon), murder, and violence.
