Obsession Falls is the first book in the "Haven Brothers" series. I really enjoyed this book and I do recommend the audiobook if you can get access to it. I was very intrigued with this one, and as this is a new to me author, I did put this one off a bit more than I normally would have liked. I just wasn't in the right frame of mind to truly enjoy it. This was also part of my 2024 Romanceopoly choice for the week.

Obsession Falls is a romantic suspense of sorts. It deals with a stalker and the mystery of who is behind it. We also have a sweet romance that develops between our characters. It hard knowing what you will get into with a grumpy sunshine romance but this author really delivered on this one here. I found their story to be such a solid one. We see the way in which they connect to one another. I didn't have any issues with either character although the heroine could be a bit naive. The romance was low angst which I wasn't expecting it. I do see the appeal of this author though and I am curious to see what the author will be delivering with this series.

The plot of the story was fascinating. I always seem to enjoy a stalker theme to the villain and for the most part the identity of the villain was kept quiet at least until the third act. I did enjoy seeing the way that the plot was developed here. I do think there could have been a bit better focus on the suspense at times as it seemed to fade into the background a bit more than I would have liked it to be.

Overall I enjoyed Obsession Falls and it was such a solid read that delivered great edgy feels and some powerful chemistry. A great small town gem.… (lisätietoja)

This was so emotional and I’m glad that the author didn’t do, hey! I know we just met but let’s get it on, have a baby, and quick elopement all in less than a month. Especially with all the hurdles they had to face with sister in law and so on. But I started this in the bath and I kept adding hot water to the cold just so I didn't have to get up, dry myself, dress, and find a quiet comfortable spot to continue reading, LOL.

They were both into each other, everyone saw it and it was great. He was amazing dad, always tried to support his daughter in whatever. I like how his daughter was the focus in a lot of the family settings and she kind of went from person to person getting the attention she needed and the reassurance that they still cared for her.… (lisätietoja)
