Blog Tour::: Obsession by S.M. Phillips
Welcome to the crazy and hectic life that is me... A fun, loving mum of one special little boy, girlfriend (I'm sure it should be wife by now!!) and an overall crazy, happy go lucky girl from England.
I have always had a passion for reading and writing. Wherever I am, my book reader is never far behind along with a mug of coffee.
I found myself wanting to write from a young age, I have quite a few hidden stories on my computer somewhere, maybe I will have to dig them out and play around with them at some
point.
Obsession knows no bounds...
Anna Jameson can't wait to escape the hell hole that her cousin has left her in. Desperate to escape her past, the idea of moving to stay with Holly whilst she got her head together sounded like the perfect plan... Until Holly upped and left, leaving Anna to pick up the mess that she left behind.
Jensen Blake knows what he wants and will not be told otherwise. Obedience and control are what he knows best. With demons of his own, he has spent most of his adult life traveling from place to place the moment things started to become predictable.
When Jensen and Anna are pushed together, an instant dislike simmers between them. Anna hates bad boys. She has witnessed enough of them to last her a lifetime.
The sexual attraction between them is evident but will that only make things harder for them both to handle?
Review by Lora Jarvis
3.5 out of 5 Hearts
I want to say that I loved the story line. Jenson & Anna left me wanting more of them, BUT the novel was full of grammatical and spelling errors which really distracted from the story.
Anna is definitely running scared from something in her past. Jenson is a hot-headed, alpha male who doesn’t really know how to be nice (or so it seems in the beginning).
The two of them collide in a big way when Anna’s cousin (who she lived with, but split town soon after Anna arrived) sold Jenson the bar where Anna works as well as the house where Anna lives. Forced to not only work together, but also live together both of them handle the situation differently.
Anna has no doubt that Jenson is attractive, but hates his attitude and need to boss her around. Jenson finds Anna physically beautiful, but the fact that she can’t get the stick out of her butt forces him to reevaluate his desire for her multiple times in the novel.
They both have dark pasts that they are trying to escape separately because they both insist that their private life is private, but can they come together and battle the bad together with more success?
As I read the book, I did find myself liking Jenson more and more. Though he comes across gruff, he’s really just trying to find his new way. Anna, however, really never clicked with me. She felt like she could just shut off the cold shoulder if she really wanted, but she chose not to. Even when Jenson opened himself up to her and admitted that he had feelings he didn’t know how to handle.
I was left frustrated with this book because I never really learned why Anna was running and exactly what Jenson’s past was, but I still enjoyed the story.
