“Obey: XXX Maxim” is the second book in Lana Sky’s Club XXX series. This dark romance continues the story of Frankie Marconi and Maxim Koslov. Frankie finds herself falling under Maxim’s sinful spell. As Frankie continues to face Maxim’s dangerous world, she questions if she can rely on him to help her withstand the pain. Frankie also questions if she should end this contract once and for all as she learns more and more about the harsh reality and Maxim’s personal life.

I loved Lana’s first book (Submit) and I’m continuing to love this series. I enjoyed seeing Frankie’s growth in this book and I’m hoping Maxim opens up to Frankie more and overcomes his dark past. Frankie works so hard to take care of her siblings and I appreciate how Lana writes such a strong and independent character within Frankie. One of my favourite things about Frankie is how she never backs down and just because she didn’t have a great childhood or education, that doesn't stop her from making sure her siblings are put on the right track. The cliff-hanger in this book makes me want to immediately pick up the next one and I can’t wait to continue this series! If you’re one to read trigger warnings, make sure to check those out beforehand because this book discusses extremely dark themes.
