My Ranking:

Fire In The Sheets Ranking:
Fire with a little speed. (4.5): Obsession Mine is a dark romance. If you read Tormentor Mine please be warned is dives a bit deeper into the dark hot tub. BDSM is touched on as well as some forced sexual intercourse and the fun is fully detailed. Scenes are hot, heavy, and if you are into dark romances will leave you panting under the cage of your strong lovers arms. For more information on my rating system, click here.

My Review:
Warning, though I try my best to avoid this, all reviews can contain spoilers of some kind. If you would like to know just my overall opinion of the book and otherwise go into reading it blind, please scroll down to my overall and would I recommend it section.

Human emotions are a pot full of boiling complications with a dash of crazy, and love is the most complex one of them all. Sara’s learning this better than anyone as her and Peter’s story continues. At the end of book one, Sara finds out the FBI is closing in on her tormentor, Peter. Despite her terror, she can’t stop the mounting feelings she has for the man who has been forcing his way into her life. When she gets the chance to tell the FBI where he is and get their help, she ignores it. Sara tells herself she made the choice because her father’s heart isn’t as strong as a bull, and the thought of what the stress of needing FBI’s protection could be fatal. As Peter gently takes care of her headache, she realizes she wants him safe and she wants his love. The last thing she does before the needle pricks her neck is warn him about the FBI he already knows about.

Peter is determined to make Sara his no matter the cost, even when it costs her everything she’s ever loved. When she warned him, he felt confident that knocking her out with the needle full of drugs he had waiting was the right decision to make. Her warning him had to mean she wanted this on some level, and if not he knows he will find a way to make her want him as much as he wants her.

What. A. Story! I mean I get into well written dark romances, but falling in love with them is not something I tend to do. The tension is high starting with the very first line, and the extreme lengths Peter is willing to go just to make sure he stays with the women he loves is frightening yet heart melting. This isn’t your typical “he wants to be a better man for her so he will change himself to do so” kind of thing, more like he wants a home, family, and the kind of safe peace a gun and training can’t give him. He realizes he wants Sara’s love but at the same token he knows he can’t pretend to be something he’s not, so instead he is going to try and carve out a world where they can be together. Somehow this raw truth approach to a love story really touched me. Don’t get me wrong, living with a killer is not the fairy tail happy ending I have in my head, but real honesty in a relationship is very refreshing and in this case challenging at the same time.

Excerpt From Obsession Mine by Anna Zaires & Dima Zales
Sara is more confused by her feelings than ever in this book and the intensity of her situation finally sets in. She wants and loves Peter and she’s starting to admit that to herself, however she also wants her old life back. The way this plays out really makes my heart break for her. I can feel how much she cares about him and the sting she feels for the loss of her independence.

Excerpt From Obsession Mine by Anna Zaires & Dima Zales
The character development shown in this book is really good. Both Peter and Sara start to change from the situation they find themselves in and the feelings they have for each other. While Peter can’t change who he is, he does find his heart warming from its icy tomb. I adore how he starts to show signs of really wanting to live again how he wants a life that isn’t just about death. The way he starts to do everything for Sara in an attempt to win her love rather than use threats to force her to act like it, really pulled me in.

For Sara, all of this pushes a stronger side of her to the surface. She allows herself to explore her interests without pressure from her family and friends. She starts to face not only her own truth, but her captor as well. she even makes a few good attempts at escaping in this book no matter what might happen if she gets caught.

Excerpt From Obsession Mine by Anna Zaires & Dima Zales
This dark romance package is all tied together in a nice bow of action. Peter is no saint and we get to see that during one of his jobs in this book. I cannot say how much I respected and was wowed by the way Anna Zaires pulled the action scenes in this one off. During the first job, the writer combines the danger of Peter’s business, a kick butt action scene, and the growing love Sara has for her dark assassin in beautiful detail. Expect guns a blazing, explosions, close calls, and charred mattresses with an ending that leaves you dying for the third book.... is it July yet?

Overall:
Honestly, I got this book back with it first came out a little over five months ago and I have read it at least four times now. This is hands down my favorite dark romance. Even though I first read this one back in 2017, this blog only just started on April 18, 2018 so Obsession mine might make a mention in my best of the year list.

Would I recommend it:
Let me think, well given the cons against the pros I think that - of course I recommend it! On a serious note, if you have triggers, or are not into light BDSM and forced scenes this might not be a read for you. Otherwise, scroll back up to the where to buy section is, click on a link and spend some money.

Happy Reading.
