Sweet Obsession is the thrilling conclusion of Riley Hart's Sins of the Father series of morally gray characters finding their partners.
From the blurb:
Rory
I’m beginning to unravel.
When I meet Shai Burrows, he intrigues me enough that he has me stalking him, following him, watching him.
And when I find out he’s the one who robbed me, instead of handling business, it only makes me obsess over him even more.
But I can’t just let him get away with that, so we cut a deal. Shai will work off what he owes me, with his body, something he’s as eager about as I am. Because after that first touch, our worlds collide.
We get off on danger and seek trouble we’re not supposed to find. He craves my body, and though I don’t understand it, I know I want him by my side.
He’s my obsession, and I can’t help but want more.
In fact, I want it all.
And I’ll take it.
Our world is violent and chaotic. I’ve always reveled in that, but I’m risking it all now. I need to learn control because if I lose him, no one will be able to pull me back from the edge.
Content Warning: Sweet Obsession contains violence, drug use, discussion/memory of losing a parent to suicide (flashback), past scenes of child neglect, addiction (not a main character), discussion of human trafficking, and morally gray characters with no redemption arc. This is still a Riley Hart romance though, so none of this is heavy handed and you can expect a happily ever after for our guys. Please read the note in the beginning of the book for a more detailed content warning.
Molly Otto's review:
When Shai enters Rorys life he is not prepared for the chaos and balance that he brings to his life. Shai fits seamlessly with the rest of this found family that its hard to picture the group without him as their next piece. Love how Shai just fits and accepts not only Rory but all his family.
This world of morally gray characters shows why Riley is such an established author in their own right. The action packed plot keeps you drawn from the getgo and doesn't slow down until all lines are crossed everything is where it should be to close this thrilling chapter of their world.
They show us they can write in any style and make you know it is their writing. The spice level is at that right level that feels right for this group, their is not spice just to have it but keep showing the growing bonds of these men. I am sad to see this groups arc come to a close and hope for more of this style of writing in the future from Riley.
SNik's review:
Third in series (Sins of the Father), best if read in order. Found family. Dual POV. Heed content warnings.
Shai needs money quick, but he picks the wrong person to rob, one that just happens to be part of the local mafia, also known as drug dealer and college student Rory. Rory doesn’t realize Ollie’s new friend is the guy who got him hard while getting mugged, but now he has Shai in his sights and he’s not letting him go.
This story has a couple that just fits, and Rory and Shai certainly go quickly beyond just being attracted to being that special person for the other. As the title says, Rory is obsessed and he doesn’t know what love feels like, but everything he does with Shai certainly feels like something good and right. I loved Rory as a character, so loyal, driven, unsure of what he was feeling, yet never backing down from claiming Shai. I enjoyed every time they were on page together, the support they got from Rory’s found family, and the bits of violence that brought a little action to the mix. Sad to see this series end, but loved the ride.
