Their Obsession by K.A. Merikan
4.0
K. A. Merikan warned us that this book would be darker than the first one but sweet Jesus, this went further than I thought it would, maybe even further than any of the other books they wrote.
So let me start off by saying that I liked the balance between story and sex in this book a lot more. Clover still is in a polyamorous relationship but they spend more time actually talking than just going at it. There are still plenty of sex scenes, so you can relax.
By the time this book starts, the men have been in a relationship for a year so it allowed the characters to be a lot more comfortable with each other which I really enjoyed and doesn’t make the story feels as rushed.
I also love that we got more povs for the mercs other than Tank even if he is still the most predominant one and he is still a pain. Merikan for sure love Drake most of them all though because he always has a very special presence in the books. I just wished we could have seen more of Boar, our resident teddy bear but on the other hand, it was very fun to watch Pyro unravel into madness.
The only thing I enjoyed a bit less was the way Tank treated Clover. While the others have a very comfortable relationship with Clover where no one does anything the other doesn’t want to, Tank likes to hold power over him in a different way and it feels like Clover does not always know where he stands with him, with Tank making all the rules and controlling a lot of aspects in his life.
Also, points for how the first chapter was a direct contradiction of the darkest chapters in the book, adding a layer of foreshadowing that I only picked up later.
I’m seriously dying to read the next book and crying over the fact that is the last in the trilogy.
Thank you so much to the authors for this ARC.
