Forbidden Obsession is a forbidden stepbrother romance. I kind of struggled reading this book, for a few different reasons. First, the main female character was really hard for me to like. Second the entire book was in her point of view, which isn't really a big deal for me, but given I wasn't a fan of her it made the book hard to read. Lastly the book just wasn't what I was expecting. I thought it was going to be a bully/enemies to lovers romance but other than in the beginning, her stepbrother Jagger really wasn't a bully to her. I felt like her falling in love with him came a little fast as well. Things just happened really fast without a lot of context. The character development was lacking as well for me. I did finish it though but started to skim towards the end. Check the trigger warnings before you read this book, it gets pretty dark. I would rate this book with 3 stars.
Favorite Excerpt:
“Shit. Did Jagger show you all the video?” I glared at Jagger. If he had, he’d be a nut short after I was finished with him.
Gunner threw his head back and laughed.
“I tried to talk him into sharing it, but it was a no go,” Tiny said, smiling. His perfectly straight white smile made him appear friendly. From the rumors I’d heard about motorcycle gangs and what I’d seen, I highly doubted he was a good guy.
“We all knew it went viral, but none of us saw it, Ari. It was taken down before we had access to it,” Cupcake explained as he shoved his fingers through his blonde hair.
“Girl, you need to wake up and see what’s in front of you. No way in hell would Jagger have allowed anyone to see you in a compromising situation. Even if they’d wanted to.” Gunner gave his men a pointed look.
Jagger loudly cleared his throat, then muttered, “None of you fuckers will ever see it.”
Holy shit. Jagger had just protected me. Confused, I wasn’t even sure what to do with what I’d heard.
★★★☆☆
