The Maddest Obsession: 2 (Made)

"I leaned closer, until our lips were a hair’s breadth apart.“Why do you kiss me?”I sighed into his mouth when he kissed me with a sweet pull. “Because you’re the only woman who’s ever tempted me.” His lips brushed mine. “Because you love it.” The last one was soft, with a possessive bite. “Because every part of you is mine.”*sighs* Who doesn't love a dark and dangerous alpha that has slightly obsessive tendencies and a sweet spot for only his heroine?I knew The Maddest Obsession would be great but guys, it honestly exceeded my expectations. Oh my god. THIS BOOK. I cancelled my plans and finished this in one sitting. There was absolutely no way I was going to read a few chapters and wait to read it the next day. I needed my fix and oh god it was so so so so so worth the wait. I absolutely adore enemies-to-lovers trope and this was IT.You know when the guy uses a term of endearment or gives compliments in their native language but the girl thinks it's an insult due to the entire start of the relationship being all glares, pining, unresolved tension and hateful-but-not-really-just-sexy banter. But then the girl finds out the real translation later when the guy is at his most vulnerable? this reads like poetry to me. Absolutely makes my soul cry!”Say something in Russian.”“Ty samaya krasivaya zhenshchina kotoruyu ya kogda-libo videl.”“What did you say?”“You’re annoying.”He actually said: You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. I AM ONCE AGAIN SOBBING.This was such a compelling and wildly heartfelt read that took place over eight years. I put my phone on do not disturb and told everyone not to bother me. These beautifully addicting characters commanded my undivided attention and I'm just so happy about everything with The Maddest Obsession. It was a steamy, captivating and sweet slow burn romance and it was brilliantly paced. Christian and Gianna's journey to each other was explosive, obsessive and oh so beautiful. The chemistry was out of this world hot and their interactions were hilarious and I completely loved that.“I’ve thought about you so much you’re mine now.” It was a growl that lowered into a threat. “You’re lucky you didn’t let him touch you, Gianna, because I really don’t like it when people touch my things.”Danielle has become that author where I'll automatically buy without any hesitation. Her writing is outstanding and I need more of her books in my life. Whilst waiting for this book to release, I started her Alyria series and I just knew that anything she'd write, I'd completely adore.I would have loved an epilogue with both Christian and Gianna, rather that just him. Regardless, this book was a delight and I hope there is another in the series. Now I just have to wait for The Girl with a Tragic Ever After and my life will be complete.“How about because I love you, Gianna? Because I think I have since the moment I saw you? Because if you weren’t in this world anymore, I would find a way to take myself out of it?”The way he loves her??? It soothes my cold heart. PLEASE READ THIS AND YOU WILL NEVER REGRET IT.

Another fantastic book from Danielle Lori! Loved the story and characters. She writes sexual tension like no one else and every chapter gets better and better.If I have one criticism it would be that some of the sex described reads the exact same as in her previous book. Different couples have sex in their own way.Otherwise I really enjoy this series and how talented Ms Lori is.

Yes. I read the first book then immediately purchased this one afterwards!!!Its main female lead is so different from the first book making for a completely different story that still featured the original characters in it. I loved their cameos.This book has an amazing flop to it - so easy to read and flexible.I’ve now ordered the third book! 📖The books matches the rest in the series - they look so good together.

"A sardonic voice breath left me. " I thought you believed it was just an obsession.""Haven't you heard? Love is an obsession. Some would even say... the maddest obsession.”This is one of the most beautiful, emotional books I've read. Gianna and Christian are one of my all-time favorite couples.If you've read the first book in the Made Series, The Sweetest Oblivion (which is also amazing), you'll know that we saw glimpses of Gianna and Christian there. I was so intrigued by Gianna and Christian in the first book and they didn't disappoint- I loved every minute of getting to know them in The Maddest Obsession.This book is divided into two parts, past and present. Sometimes I find that too much focus on the past can be boring but this was absolutely not the case. I loved the build-up to Christian and Gianna's present-day relationship: they have a connection and a history that dates back for years. Every interaction between them was so interesting, they have such great chemistry.I loved learning more about Gianna's character and her vulnerabilities- she's gone through a lot but I admire her strength and her resilience so much. She is one of a kind, truly an unforgettable character. Christian is one of the best heroes I've ever read about. The way he loves and cares for Gianna from afar is so beautiful. He's closed off and cold to everyone but Gianna- their dynamic is great and I love how she brings out the playful side to him. Together, they have so much chemistry and history, it was beautiful to see their story come together.I love books where the characters have just as much of an emotional connection as a physical one and this is something I've found to be true across all of the Made Series books. I found The Maddest Obsession to be an amazing read with an emotional, poignant romance. It deserves more than 5 stars, I loved every page.
