Controller's Obsession is the second book in the Obsession's series by this author duo and in it we learn the consequences for Merihem helping out Dakata when his blissful one's sister was kidnapped. I bet the leader of hell didn't bet on his punishment leading Merihem to his very own blissful one as well!
From the blurb:
When his friend Dakata needs help, Merihem—the ‘controller’ for the demon and human realm—charges in headfirst without thinking about the consequences. For his trouble, he’s cast up to the human realm and forced to take over Dakata’s business and his home, all the while figuring out how to get back into the good graces of the king.
When he meets a small excitable goat—his ‘blissful one’—life really gets interesting.
Peni left his home and got himself a cleaning job, where his only sanctuary is in the basement. Until a very large, naked demon invades his place of work, claiming he and Peni are ‘blissful ones’. Yeah right. Except now, his goat half is acting up, the real housekeeper is angry with him, and he’s clueless how to make his giant invader understand that when one of them is tiny, size really does matter.
And then there’s the trifling inconvenience of someone trying to hurt them.
If they can survive all that, then maybe—just maybe—the universe got it right after all.
Controller's Obsession is book two in the Obsession series, proving that meeting a blissful one can change even a ‘love ’em and leave ’em’ demon.
Jacqueleen the Reading Queen's review:
After meeting Meri in book 1 I was looking forward to his story. Despite him being a demon, I knew he was one of the good ones. He helped his friend Dakata, even knowing it could lead to consequences for him. He helped because he knew it was the right thing to do, which immediately endeared him to me. I bet he didn't realize that those very real consequences would lead to him meeting his Blissful One!
Peni is quite the pigmy goat shifter despite his tiny size. He's a hard worker and he isn't going to let anyone push him around, including a giant naked demon who claims they are meant to be. Their meet-cute was quite funny and I also enjoyed the few other shenanigans Peni's goat got him into as well. It seemed Peni the person may not be ready for a demon mate, but his goat was fully on board.
I loved that Peni and Silas started their own friendship after meeting. I think Silas was a great person for him to meet because he is the only one who knows what it means to be a demon's blissful one. He could give Peni insight no one else could. Sometimes you just need an outside perspective to help you see what you already know.
Another more shocking friendship Peni began was with Meri's boss. Yes, you read that correctly. I thought it was rather sweet, but I am not so sure Meri agreed. Actually, I'm pretty sure Meri was more worried than happy about their blossoming friendship. Fortunately for Peni, Meri wants nothing more than for his mate to be happy so he doesn't put up too much of a fuss. I'm hoping that the big boss will have his own story at some point and maybe we will get to see more of his friendship with Peni in the future!
