Devious Obsession by S. Massery

4.0

⭐⭐⭐⭐
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

I don't know how S. Massery does it, but she manages to make me hate the hero and then halfway through I start rooting for him. I wasn't sure how to rate this one because I really did enjoy it and thought we had a good character arc for Steele, it just took me a while to get through. 

I really liked Aspen as a heroine more than Violet because she was much stronger and fought back (a little). Steele came off darker than I was expecting after how he was portrayed in the first book. I loved how obsessed he was with Aspen and how he made the turn from bully to protector. They seemed like the perfect fit together. This was so spicy and there is a lot of sex scenes.

I appreciated that Steele actually had remorse for some of his bullying. Let's face it, he does some truly stupid things to make her life hell that have dangerous consequences. 

This book did seem a little too similar to the first one with a bully relationship and the heroine has a stalker again that puts her life in danger.
