On the reread, it's a 3.5 stars. I think Rowe takes what has become a bit trite-a kinda sexy kinda dark trilogy with a broken billionaire boy and makes it more fun. If you like the hot trilogies of the last decade but aren't up for angst, her books are perfect.

Addicting!

What is the opposite of a slow burn? Chemistry that takes off on page 1 and sets the pages on fire? Whatever it is, that is this book. Jonas is cocky and arrogant, and Sarah sees through it immediately. I love their banter, their chemistry, and all the sexual tension! But there is more to Jonas than no one sees, except Sarah. She sees through his outward persona and sees his sadness. Hit me in the feels so hard! Give me a damaged cocky guy with a soft melty center every day of the week! Yes please! Love this book! Diving into book 2 immediately!

This book and I really got off on the wrong foot. First of all I knew it was a trilogy (plus full length epilogue) and I usually steer clear of multi-book series about the same couple because there’s typically a lot of unnecessary angst/break ups. And then when I did pick book 1 up anyway, Jonas in the first few chapters was a bit… unhinged and douchey.

It wound up not being what I expected at all - down to the name: The Club. I assumed it was like a nightclub not, well, a sex club. But Jonas became likable. He and Sarah were fun together.

This book and series is sex heavy. Talking about it, thinking about it, doing it. In some ways the plot, which becomes serious, really takes a backseat.

This was OK. I don't think it was the best romance I have read and I'm not too sure this should be tagged erotica, I don't feel its very erotic...

I like him. I think despite his weirdness and commitment problems I like Jonas. He falls so fast for her and she for him. They fall in love via email without him knowing what she looks like and her being enthralled by him just from his application before she saw a picture.

I also like her, shes vulnerable with low self esteem. I like how she goes for what she wants but shes so worried about him not living to her expectations she stops.

Loved it!

Obsession starts out as just that for two people who yearn for something more and realize they just may get what they’re searching for! Can wait to start next part!

 I did not expect the journey to orgasm takes 11 hours long, plus with a trip to the jungle. Anyway, I am surprise to like The Club:Obsession. The hide and seek in the beginning really got my attention. Especially Jonah. He is a MAN!

I also like Sarah. She is smart and sassy. Both Jonah and Sarah have family issue growing up. Sarah is skeptic that someone like Jonah can really be intersted in her. It will be interesting to see how their story continues in the next book.

i read this series before booktok was born and even before i knew what the term „smut books“ meant.

i quickly became obsessed. the sexual tension in this book is simply out of this world. i also love that jonas is into philosophy and uses phrases to explain his feelings.

just read this book its not going to disappoint.
