Por ser com casais diferentes, cada livro da saga poder ser lido separadamente, mas é provável que os seguintes contenham spoilers dos anteriores. Ares Kostanidis , o segundo mais velho dos filhos do bilionário clã grego, ao contrário de seus irmãos, prefere motos velozes a carros de luxo. Lindo, sexy e nada convencional, é conhecido pelo senso de humor sombrio, cinismo e espírito combativo. Ele vive uma vida sem forjar laços emocionais que não sejam com a família, até que o destino o obriga a se tornar o responsável por uma jovem sozinha no mundo. Serenity Clementine Blanchet é uma órfã que perdeu ambos os pais ainda muito jovem. Enviada para um colégio interno na Alemanha, passou a se dedicar compulsivamente ao balé, tendo na dança uma zona de conforto. Ela não gosta de mudanças e ama a rotina, então quando seu tutor avisa que agora ficará sob o comando de um empresário grego, sente-se insegura. Ares fica fascinado pela deusa de enormes olhos azuis e que parece tão frágil quanto uma boneca de louça, mas resiste a ceder ao desejo. Um evento, porém, muda tudo, trazendo Serenity para perto dele e o magnata terá que passar de tutor legal a protetor. A aproximação forçada transforma a atração em uma paixão intensa e logo os dois embarcam em uma jornada de desejo incontrolável. Mas neste jogo de sedução, dinheiro e poder, nada é o que parece e para ficar com a mulher que ama, Ares terá que desvendar o passado dela, defendendo-a de inimigos mortais.

This story is a bit dark love story but the plot twist is freakin amazing!!! And the romance is great too!!! The mystery in this story with the love story is just 🔥🔥 There were unanswered things about certain situations, but I think with the happy ending, it’s okay that they weren’t answered. But it still made me wonder about it…. Which you will obviously know about it because i’m honest with my reviews…
I wish there was more to the love story here because it felt it needed more you know… At least for me tho 😅
But I think the story is more focused on how the hero is obsessed with the heroine and the plot twist behind the heroine’s story. Which is okay, though😁 but still, I think it needs more. More them going on dates together, quality time together, and getting to know each other even better. So it can make the love story even more romantic and spicy. But again, I think the focus is like what I said before, and also about the mafia business that the hero is involved with through his family…
Overall, I love the story till the end. The mystery just makes it even more curious for me to go on and on. I enjoyed it, tho. Do I love the romance here? Not so much, tho. But there are other things, which you will read down below, that make me love the whole story. And this is not your normal love story, okay? 😭 This is deep and a bit dark, and it's a mafia romance. Mafia romance can be heavy, and it can be a bit annoying 😛
SOOO…. THE FIRST POV IT COMES FROM THE HERO. It shows at the beginning (which i love it shows at the beginning on what the characters really is) that the hero is the owner of a club and in that club there’s a s3x club as well named SIN. Great name for a s3x club😅 It also shows that the hero’s business and companies is with his family, brothers and cousins. They’re in the mafia but not like the boss things like that, or syndicate. First thing in the hero’s pov is that he is the boss there at the club and there was certain random woman who works for him tries to seduce him and he kicked her out immediately… Because he doesn’t like to mix business with pleasure especially thats from his own employees. And next things he does is that how he handles the business and business’s problems with his family. And then something interesting happened…
Someone that they know has a problem and they want to do something about it. There’s a whole another story behind this but I won’t get into details cause it will be too much spoiler 😛
And that certain problem needs them to come and fix it. The hero decided to step up and do something about it, which is agreeing to be the heroine’s guardian (spoiler😛) because she’s 18 years old at the moment. The hero also decided to come and see the heroine himself at her ballet performance… And when he did, after the first sight of her, he never looked back😏
He became utterly obsessed with the heroine so much that it changed everything for him….
The hero for the first time ever in his life, he became obsessed with someone and wants her more than anything…
But also spoiler alert 🚨 🚨
I don’t like it when the hero after seeing the heroine for the first time and became stunt with her beauty and talents, his pride was being annoying😑 “I can't take my eyes off her. I have to force myself to remember who she is, because there is something pure and heavenly about the girl, but there is also such an intense ardor in the way she moves that I can't help imagining what all that passion would be like in bed. be like in bed.
Every time the thought reaches me, I push it away, trying to focus on the fact that I'm not in front of just any woman but a young orphan, someone who is unprotected and, much more than that, is my responsibility. What the hell is happening? I can have any woman I want with a phone call, and my fucking dick decides to manifest itself for a girl I'm supposed to take care of?.”
He quickly go on his phone to his contacts to see some of the list of numbers of woman that he dated in the past. But he immediately shut that down and also immediately admitted something to himself…. “Today, however, I know that one random woman won't be enough. The moment this certainty hits me, I must quickly head to the dressing room, introduce myself to Serenity (the heroine) and be on my way. Maybe enjoy the night with Hades a little, like the old days, since I definitely know I won't be calling that Sebia, or the other local names in my diary.”
I love that he immediately shut that stupid thought away and make the heroine the center. But still why add that tho? It’s just so unnecessary to me 😅 next time author don’t add unnecessary things cause some of the readers like me gets a bit irritated when read scenes like that 😓
“I wanted her before I could even see her face. I wanted her voraciously in that little dressing room at the theater in New Orleans. I fantasized about her perfect body beneath mine, her legs around my waist as I sank inside her.
I forbade myself from having her, however. Serenity was young . . . She still is very young and vulnerable. She deserves someone who’ll lay the world at her feet, and I'm not that person.”
So yes in the beginning the hero wants her but also scared and too stupid maybe to not make her his immediately 😓
‼️‼️‼️TRIGGERS: Stalker but not that crazy dangerous if i have to rate him then the stalker be like 4. Alcohol, mafia, killing and death.
‼️‼️‼️SAFE ROMANTIC HOT A BIT DARK MAFIA LOVE STORY…
THE PLOT TWIST ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
‼️‼️‼️NO CHEATING.
NOOOO MEAN FRIENDS.
NOOOO BULLYING ~ which is amazing cause sometimes when the woman got the best role in ballerina especially this heroine is the prima ballerina, it will have some bullying. BUT THIS ONE DOES NOT HAVE THAT 😍😍 No bullying!!!!
It has SEPARATION for two freakin years,
but it was before they were serious and official…
It has strip club scenes couple of times, one before the hero even know the heroine and it was the hero being a boss there. Not him having s3x just in case you are wondering🤣 Second when the hero have to find the heroine because she went there with his sister in laws. Third when the hero have to again see the heroine…
and SPOILER! After the hero and heroine became a couple officially, the hero never goes to the club that has s3x club again. which is kind of cool 😆
‼️‼️‼️I DON’T KNOW if this is a love at first sight. It was more like lust and electricity at the same time when they meet tho 🌪️
‼️‼️‼️THE HERO IS SOOOO OVER THE TOP POSSESSIVE MILLIONAIRE MAFIA BOSS 🔥
And he has his own island and height is 6’6 😏
And unfortunately the hero is a manwhor3 in the past, he even said that like twice on his pov. But thankfully his family never said anything about him being a manwhor3 which is great 😆
His personality is a bit annoying at first, to be honest with you. He is too prideful and arrogant about himself. The way he thinks about the heroine sometimes is so stupid because it shows how he is not that wise. But thankfully, that was just in the first scenes of him being like that. For the rest of the story, the hero totally becomes better, especially when he is officially with the heroine. He becomes a more gentle and caring person, and his POV is not as stupid as it used to be. But I love how he is so masculine and will do anything for the heroine.
I just wish that the hero makes the heroine immediately his after seeing her for the first time 😁 And also for him to not be so scared about being with the heroine cause his words for couple of times always says “I can give her a dirty fuck, make her scream with pleasure riding my dick, but I can't give her anything other than good sex, and in the end, when I got tired of her, which I eventually would, she would be wrecked” 😓😓
‼️‼️‼️THE HEROINE wow i love this human character. She is strong, so sassy but classy and so wise though which is fantastic, she knows how to speak back when it needs to, she is talented with her ballet because she became a diva in that, she’s friendly and she’s also kind tho…
SHE IS NOT A DOORMAT WHICH IS MORE FANTASTIC 🔥🔥
‼️‼️‼️THE HEROINE IS A VIRGIN.
‼️‼️‼️NOOO SCENES OF THE HERO MEETING WITH EX WHAT OF HIS.
Only with the heroine ~ The heroine is in a fake relationship with a boy that she tries to make the hero jealous, they never did anything more than just a kisses and normal touch… But nothing more… And this last for two years 🤣
But thankfully the boy was honest with the heroine and they also became best friends…
‼️‼️‼️THE HERO IS SOOO OBSESSED WITH THE HEROINE 🔥🔥🔥 He is sooo obsessed with the heroine since he first saw her… HE WANTS HER SOOO BAD but also so scared for the unnecessary things which again stupid 🤣 For two years he is her guardian, she doesn’t see him for two years but he gives her gifts almost every two weeks and months. The gifts is many things, jewelry and many shinny things 🥺 HE STALKED HER AS WELL AROUND THE WORLD WHERE SHE GOES TO PERFORM! But he didn’t allow himself to physically meet her, he just watched her from a far… He always says to her “you are mine” like so many times i lost count!!!
I love that many times the hero will say the heroine is his from the beginning. “My girl” like that even before things got serious, he will always claimed it like that to his pov 😝
“I’ve watched her on stage from the shadows these past two years, and if I had any hope that the impact of her beauty would eventually be neutralized for me, I have just realized that I was deluded. Serenity is now even more perfect than when we first met.”
“Now, however, I am determined to keep her close to me. As much as I don’t want any intimacy, because I know myself well enough to know where we’ll probably end up if I give in to my desire, I’m a Kostanidis and, for now, she’s mine. No one will hurt her.”
“I want to lock her in a fucking tower, where only I can visit her, but also tell her to fight, not allow a I want to lock her in a fucking tower, where only I can visit her, but also tell her to fight, not allow a sick person to steal her life.”
“I suddenly realize what he did. He took a plane in the middle of the night to make sure I was okay.
"Because you're my guardian?"
"Because as long as you're in my care, you're mine."
I love that the hero after one kiss with the heroine after two years, he immediately claims the heroine to anyone even to his family.
“So something is happening."
"I haven't decided yet."
"What?"
"You heard me. I don't know what to do about her yet. I want her."
"Holy shit!"
"Don't act surprised. You already guessed, or you wouldn't have noticed that I'm not happy with this unfortunate Otis hovering around her."
"I sent your favorite flowers and a piece of jewelry made just for you, as I have done over the past few years."
"What?"
"I know that you didn't open any of the ones I gave you in the past. Yesterday, when I was leaving your room, I saw all the untouched boxes inside your closet. I wanted to understand why, so I sent one more today as a test."
“The bubble we created on the island was what definitively showed me that I don't want her to be temporary in my life. Serenity is mine forever.”
"Don't run away from me again."
"Then make me stay,"
🥺
‼️‼️‼️There were jealous scenes in here, not many, but it had some. And it was so hot the way the hero is always so jealous, even when some guy looks at the heroine. There was this scene which is my favorite when the heroine was out with her friend from the ballet and that friend is a male, the hero suddenly appears and kissed hungrily to the heroine🤣
“I’ve never seen myself out the eyes of everyone who watched her performance today.”
‼️‼️‼️HOT SMUT SCENES OBVIOUSLY 🔥🔥🔥
The s3x scenes is the best!!! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
He is definitely loves to satisfy the heroine’s body and likes to touch her all the damn time 😝
“The caresses are urgent, greedy, where teeth and tongue want to taste, suck, bite, mark. Yes, I want my mark on her.”
“I want to stay inside her tight body for hours, days. I have never felt such intense pleasure.”
“The warmth of her pussy is perfect, and the scent of lust spreads throughout the room, creating a unique scent, just ours, that I'm sure I'll memorize forever.”
‼️‼️‼️Great chemistry! But it was unfortunate that the hero didn’t take that serious at first to make the heroine his immediately. But overall the chemistry between them and the attraction connection was absolutely hot! And romantic 😝
“Serenity hit me so fast that I didn't even notice when what I felt for her—lust, obsession—turned into love. The fascination of the first night I saw her, how I traveled the world without her knowing just to watch her dance, but most of all, the self-control I imposed on myself to not seduce her—when all I wanted from the moment I laid eyes on her was to bury myself in her delicious body—showed me that, for me, she was always unique. I put her needs above mine. I protected her from myself.”
‼️‼️‼️The hero as you can read from the beginning that he oftentimes like to push the heroine away and it made the heroine also push him away… Just couple of times. Not much!
‼️‼️‼️DUAL POV
‼️‼️‼️NO DRAMA WITH OW. Only with OM but not much.
Most of the drama is from the enemies and the stalker and obviously from themselves 🤣
‼️‼️‼️I DON’T KNOW if the hero is fully celibate in that two years separation from the heroine before they were a couple, that was my question all along though but in the end I didn’t get the answer 😓 Hopefully he is 🤣
‼️‼️‼️HAPPY ENDING…
Married and have two adorable kids and one on the way 😍😍
⚡️⚡️⚡️THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING MY REVIEW. Even if you hate my review i still say thank you so much cause you spend your time reading this one👻 I’m not a professional reviewer or professional reader. I’m just someone who likes to read novels that is safe and no cheating whatsoever. And many more that i like lol😆 I DID NOT GET PAID TO DO THIS. This is just basically me writing my review based on my personal opinion about the book if it’s safe or what I will write it all down just the way i like it 😏 I know my review can be very straightforward with the way i write it down all of it and not a professional writing because again I’m not professional reviewer anyway. And whatever negativity you might think of what i write or what my thoughts are on my review about a book, me and you are not the same person. I have my own types of book and you have your own. You have your own thoughts and same with me. You can’t control what I should write on my review and neither should I. I WILL NOT TOLERATE NEGATIVE COMMENT AND I WON’T EVER REPLIED TO IT. If you still don’t like what i write and my disclaimer here, IT’S A YOU PROBLEM. NOT MINE😙 HAVE A GREAT DAY❤️❤️❤️
Types of book that I’m looking for: SAFE, safe all the way from the beginning till the end🥵 No cheating, no unnecessary childish drama. Not too much OW DRAMA cause they are loud and annoying lol. NO to still having feelings about a ex especially wants go get back together tf no. NO to friends with benefits and still seeing other people type of sh*t. NO to hero or heroine who said i love you and have been obsessed but still likes to fvck around yeah big NO to that sh*t. NOOO to still married or still in a relationship with someone else while liking the main character, yeah they have to be single since the beginning. NOOO to a long separation and have someone else they have s3x with during the separation. NOO to too many times of separation and breaking up sh*t. NOO to toxic narcissistic characters.
I preferred the characters are loyal to the core, over the top possessive heroes since the beginning and never stops, main characters have unique jobs or talents, the hero adores and obsessed with the heroine so much, the hero fell harder for the heroine and don’t want let her go and fight for her. And most importantly EPILOGUE AND ESPECIALLY THE DECADES LATER SCENE…. HAPPY ENDING IS A MUST. Chemistry is a must too 🙏🏼
I wish there was more to the love story here because it felt it needed more you know… At least for me tho 😅
But I think the story is more focused on how the hero is obsessed with the heroine and the plot twist behind the heroine’s story. Which is okay, though😁 but still, I think it needs more.

The fascination of the first night I saw her, how I traveled the world without her knowing just to watch her dance, but most of all, the self-control I imposed on myself to not seduce her—when all I wanted from the moment I laid eyes on her was to bury myself in her delicious body—showed me that, for me, she was always unique. I put her needs above mine. I protected her from myself.”
‼️‼️‼️The hero as you can read from the beginning that he oftentimes like to push the heroine away and it made the heroine also push him away… Just couple of times. Not much!
‼️‼️‼️DUAL POV
‼️‼️‼️NO DRAMA WITH OW. Only with OM but not much.
Most of the drama is from the enemies and the stalker and obviously from themselves 🤣
‼️‼️‼️I DON’T KNOW if the hero is fully celibate in that two years separation from the heroine before they were a couple, that was my question all along though but in the end I didn’t get the answer 😓 Hopefully he is 🤣
‼️‼️‼️HAPPY ENDING…
Married and have two adorable kids and one on the way 😍😍
⚡️⚡️⚡️THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR READING MY REVIEW. Even if you hate my review i still say thank you so much cause you spend your time reading this one👻 I’m not a professional reviewer or professional reader. I’m just someone who likes to read novels that is safe and no cheating whatsoever. And many more that i like lol😆 I DID NOT GET PAID TO DO THIS. This is just basically me writing my review based on my personal opinion about the book if it’s safe or what I will write it all down just the way i like it 😏 I know my review can be very straightforward with the way i write it down all of it and not a professional writing because again I’m not professional reviewer anyway. And whatever negativity you might think of what i write or what my thoughts are on my review about a book, me and you are not the same person. I have my own types of book and you have your own. You have your own thoughts and same with me. You can’t control what I should write on my review and neither should I. I WILL NOT TOLERATE NEGATIVE COMMENT AND I WON’T EVER REPLIED TO IT. If you still don’t like what i write and my disclaimer here, IT’S A YOU PROBLEM. NOT MINE😙 HAVE A GREAT DAY❤️❤️❤️
Types of book that I’m looking for: SAFE, safe all the way from the beginning till the end🥵 No cheating, no unnecessary childish drama. Not too much OW DRAMA cause they are loud and annoying lol. NO to still having feelings about a ex especially wants go get back together tf no. NO to friends with benefits and still seeing other people type of sh*t. NO to hero or heroine who said i love you and have been obsessed but still likes to fvck around yeah big NO to that sh*t. NOOO to still married or still in a relationship with someone else while liking the main character, yeah they have to be single since the beginning. NOOO to a long separation and have someone else they have s3x with during the separation. NOO to too many times of separation and breaking up sh*t. NOO to toxic narcissistic characters.
I preferred the characters are loyal to the core, over the top possessive heroes since the beginning and never stops, main characters have unique jobs or talents, the hero adores and obsessed with the heroine so much, the hero fell harder for the heroine and don’t want let her go and fight for her. And most importantly EPILOGUE AND ESPECIALLY THE DECADES LATER SCENE…. HAPPY ENDING IS A MUST. Chemistry is a must too 🙏🏼

⚡️Review:
A decent entry in the grander greek billionaire family saga, though not as superior as the extended family's interconnected series (Lykaios). I feel like this one was very expected and too insta-lust. I was hoping for a bit more romantic build up but it was quite hastened. The jumping of time several times early on made it a bit bumpy to connect too.
Our MMC is c0cky, handsome and a bit aloof like all the men in this series. Maybe they're blurring a bit for me in this series, though I will say the next book is Hades' story and I do see him as a more compelling and distinct character , so I am looking forward to him.
Serenity is a "good" fmc, she is rather spunky which I like. The sta1ker angle that forces her closer to him is an effective one. If you prefer a faster paced relationship and not as much unexpected drama, than this will do fine. The Lykaios series (the cousins) I have found to be steadily deeper with the drama and romantic connection.

I absolutely devoured this book and stayed up till past 2am to finish it.
This is a story of passion, danger and family drama. From the get go I was sucked into this story, it was just divine. Ares finds himself as the guardian of a young ballerina albeit very reluctantly lol. This ballerina is special she's a heiress but she's orphaned she has little life skills as she was sent off to a boarding school. Her only ambition is to become the best ballet dancer and dancing is her whole life. Ares is brought in as her guardian after he has required the shares he needs to help his family out. So he leaves her be and is happy to just put security on her and bodyguards etc.
Until two years later she returns to New York and they both discover she has the unwanted attention of a stalker. I loved the relationship between Ares and Serenity and the age gap didn't really affect me at all. Ares protective side really had me 😍 that man in all his Greek sexiness.....oof yes please lol. This has twist and turns a plenty and it never felt slow or sluggish it was fast paced for sure. This is part of an interconnected series and I'll definitely be reading the first books. I loved the writing and the story in general.

I was not expecting that. 👀 It definitely tied up nicely, though.
I think Ares might be my favorite brother, but we'll see. They are all incredibly protective, but for some reason, he hit different. His dirty mind mixed with his protective nature was perfect. A little crazy, but that's to be expected with a morally gray MMC. I'll take him just the way he is. 😋
There was nothing to dislike about Serenity. She's a sweet, naive woman, and I absolutely loved her! ❤️

I won this book for a giveaway so I haven't read the other books in the series but thankfully it wasn't a necessity. I will definitely be going back and reading the others! This was so good! 5 stars!
Read
June 10, 2025Serenity has always wanted to be a prima ballerina. An orphan since she was five, she has dedicated her entire life to her craft, not worrying about anything else. Ares is an established businessman who would do anything for his brothers. Part of which involves becoming Serenity's guardian in order to control a portion of her assets. He doesn't expect to fall into an obsession with her from the moment they meet.
*****
This is supposed to be a standalone that doesn't require you to read previous novels. However, there are scenes and references to other characters that are half-baked and awkward. The whole GordonBank blackmail plot was weird and didn't make sense without whatever info we clearly missed in other books. This happens with other characters as well, and it just pulls the plot all over the place.
The writing was awkward, stilted, robotic, unrealistic, and illogical. Whether dialogue or monologue, it didn't actually read like two humans speaking to each other or thinking through thoughts. Topics are changed frequently from what seems out of nowhere, characters are not fully fleshed out, and their actions don't make sense in the least. The inner voices of each character felt exactly the same, and over explaining every thought and intent in phrases and comments made the writing voice feel juvenile and artificial.
Entire scenes were illogical, stilted, and ridiculous. It was as if they wanted to insert drama as well as BDSM themes and just randomly hucked them into the storyline without any preamble.
Ares and Serenity together were a mess. Their conversations and actions were unrealistic. Ares was constantly just spouting off anything and everything and immediately expanding on each tiny thought and obsession, so no tension developed at all. Every character was weird and didn't behave like people do the majority of the time. There were random scenes that were neck-breakingly fast and removed any sense of build-up. We go from a scene of ignoring him to immediately crying and giving all of her devotion within a few lines of each other. The entire last 30% of the book is rushed to a bewildering degree, with a HEA that is as awkward as the rest of it.
Also, the intimate scenes are so incredibly gross. They are some of the most awkward, cringe-inducing scenes I have ever read. It was as if someone found a list of the most disgusting ways you could describe being the most vanilla of intimacy and tossed them all in at once. I audibly gagged at "sweet, soggy pussy" being used. Soggy is not a hot word, nor were a lot of the other choices this author used. I heavily grimaced through scenes, and as someone who reads everything from light and fluffy contemporary to dark and monster romance, that's saying something.
This one was unfortunately a massive disappointment, and I would pass on it.

D.A. Lemoyne delivers an electrifying mix of passion, danger, and undeniable chemistry in Obsessed with Her, the third book in the Kostanidis Family series. This steamy, suspenseful romance follows Ares Kostanidis, a powerful Greek billionaire with a love for speed and a heart locked away from emotion—until he is forced to take on the role of guardian for Serenity Clementine Blanchet, a disciplined ballerina whose past is filled with secrets she never knew existed.
Serenity has spent her life dedicated to ballet, thriving on control and routine. But when she is placed under Ares’s guardianship, her world is thrown into chaos. He is everything she isn’t—arrogant, commanding, and completely forbidden. From the moment they meet, the attraction between them is undeniable, yet Ares fights to keep his distance, knowing their situation makes any kind of relationship impossible.
When a shocking turn of events forces them into even closer proximity, desire overtakes restraint, igniting a passionate and high-stakes romance. But Serenity’s past holds dangerous secrets, and to keep her safe, Ares must uncover the truth—even if it means risking everything. As enemies lurk in the shadows and the Kostanidis family power plays intensify, their love becomes both their greatest strength and their most dangerous weakness.
With an intoxicating blend of forbidden romance, forced proximity, and suspense, Obsessed with Her keeps readers hooked from start to finish. Ares is a brooding, possessive protector, while Serenity’s quiet strength makes her a compelling heroine. Their love story is one of control and surrender, power and vulnerability, wrapped in the mystery of a past that refuses to stay buried.
D.A. Lemoyne weaves a captivating tale of passion, intrigue, and devotion, making Obsessed with Her a must-read for fans of billionaire romances, guardian/protector tropes, and high-stakes love stories filled with danger, desire, and undeniable chemistry.

“Maybe there are some parts of me that will always be missing a piece, shards that got lost along the way. But what I feel for you is complete. You are my perfect fit.”
This was my first book reading one of D.A. Lemoyne, while it took me a little while to get into this book as this book is book 3 I really quite enjoyed it .
A forbidden billionaire romance that comes with a fabulous twist for Obsessed With Her, the third book in the Kostanidis Family series as the arrogant Ares Kostanidis finds himself the reluctant guardian of eighteen-year-old heiress Serenity Clementine Blanchet. Serenity has little experience of life, her only ambition to be a prima ballerina so once Ares has acquired the shares he needed, he's happy to put security on her and watch from a distance as she trains. Until two years later when she returns to New York, and he discovers she's attracted the unwanted attentions of a stalker. This book delivers high heat, high drama, and a broody but sweet protector who will stop at nothing for the woman he's sworn to keep safe. If you love forbidden guardian romances with intense passion, a protective billionaire hero, and unexpected twists, you need this book on your TBR.

I’m completely hooked on the Kostanidis Family series! I’ve devoured each book in a single sitting—they grab you right from the beginning and keep you captivated all the way through!
The story "Obsessed with Her: The Guardian and the Ballerina," the third book in the Kostanidis Family series, revolves around Ares, whose name means "Man of War." He is the second oldest of the Kostanidis brothers, all billionaires who deeply cherish those they consider family. Ares becomes the guardian of Serenity when her former guardian was asked to share a bank share, allowing the brothers control over Gordon's bank. Instead of Zeus, Ares takes on the role and becomes infatuated with Serenity, eventually making her his. Reflecting their dominant alpha personalities, the brothers often declare, "she is mine." The story is filled with lies, secrets, betrayals, and plenty of angst, alongside romance and passion.
The plot also features an evil character obsessed with Serenity, aiming to kidnap her and make her his slave. Serenity's nanny is part of this scheme, along with Roger, her boss's partner, who feels wronged by Serenity's parents. The story is packed with chaos and drama. Readers also get a glimpse into the lives of other family members, including brothers, cousins, wives, and children. The narrative brings to life the Greek village of Kostanidis, Lykaios, Pappakouris, and the extended family community. With three Kostanidis brothers finding their soulmates, only Hades, the troubled one, remains. This book is highly recommended for anyone new to D.A. Lemoyne's works, as she is truly talented.

🔥 Obsessed with Her: The Guardian and the Ballerina is an absolute tour de force—a spellbinding blend of passion, danger, and exquisite artistry that had me completely captivated from start to finish. D.A. Lemoyne masterfully crafts a world where two seemingly opposite lives collide: the fierce, protective guardian whose every instinct is to shield, and the delicate, determined ballerina whose grace hides a turbulent inner fire.
From the very first page, I was swept up in the electric tension between these unforgettable characters. Every stolen glance, every whispered secret, and every daring moment felt like a beautifully choreographed dance, full of both vulnerability and raw intensity. The narrative is as intricate as a ballet performance—each step, turn, and pause perfectly timed to heighten the stakes of their forbidden connection.
Lemoyne’s writing is both lyrical and powerful, painting a picture so vivid that I could almost hear the soft strains of music accompanying their every encounter. This book is not just a romance; it’s an exploration of inner strength, trust, and the transformative power of love against all odds. The emotional depth and complexity of the characters left me breathless, rooting for their union even when circumstances threatened to tear them apart.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Obsessed with Her is a must-read for anyone who loves a romance that is as fierce as it is tender—a story that dances on the edge of danger and desire, leaving you utterly obsessed long after the final page.

I have been absolutely obsessed with the Kostanidis Family series! I have read each book in just one sitting - they capture you from start and keep you thoroughly engaged through out it all!
Obsessed with Her is the third book in the series, and focuses on Ares! There is just something so incredible about the chemistry between Ares and Serenity; the push and pull you feel between these two is incredible. Ares is cold, aloof and abrasive at times, however that makes him intensely loyal, protective and obsessive when it comes to Serenity. Serenity is brave, determined, and so resilient. She is dedicated to being the very best ballerina, and doesn’t let her tainted past bring her down. The tension and build up between Ares and Serenity is so worth it, the fact that Ares becomes her guardian only adds to it; it adds a small taboo element which really works with the overall plot. In my opinion compared to the other two, this one has few more twists and turns in the suspense department - which you don’t see coming! Ares and Serenity’s story is a rollercoaster of emotions and I loved seeing them get their much deserved HEA!
D.A. Lemoyne is one of my new favorite authors - I have fallen in love with Kostanidis men and the amazing women they each fell in love with. The stories she writes are fast paced, filled with deep emotions, enthralling plots, and fascinating characters. A must read for age gap, billionaire romance lovers!! A huge thanks to D.A. Lemoyne and The Author Agency for the early copy. This is a series I have been totally invested in and can’t wait for Hades’ story next!

A forbidden billionaire romance that comes with a fabulous twist for Obsessed With Her, the third book in the Kostanidis Family series as the arrogant Ares Kostanidis finds himself the reluctant guardian of eighteen-year-old heiress Serenity Clementine Blanchet. Serenity has little experience of life, her only ambition to be a prima ballerina so once Ares has acquired the shares he needed, he’s happy to put security on her and watch from a distance as she trains. Until two years later when she returns to New York, and he discovers she’s attracted the unwanted attentions of a stalker.
I loved the surprise twist in Serenity’s past that involved her stalker who had spent years watching her from the shadows, growing more and more obsessed with his target. In a plot filled with twists and turns, the tension built throughout the story until the truth about her past was revealed. It brought Ares’ protective streak to the front and the man who habitually grew bored of women within days, suddenly couldn’t bear to have Serenity out of his sight. I loved the character of Ares, all brooding and dominant but I did find Serenity a bit bland and couldn’t quite see why every man she met quickly became obsessed with her. Perhaps if she’d been a bit more spirited and resisted Ares, adding some conflict between them I’d feel differently but for this reader she just came across as flat and one dimensional and her character let down what was a strong plot.

It brought Ares’ protective streak to the front and the man who habitually grew bored of women within days, suddenly couldn’t bear to have Serenity out of his sight. I loved the character of Ares, all brooding and dominant but I did find Serenity a bit bland and couldn’t quite see why every man she met quickly became obsessed with her. Perhaps if she’d been a bit more spirited and resisted Ares, adding some conflict between them I’d feel differently but for this reader she just came across as flat and one dimensional and her character let down what was a strong plot.

This is my first introduction to DA Lemoyne’s work and to this series.
This is a standalone series, so I was able to read this book first without too much disruption. There were several mentions to past events and characters that I think I would have appreciated and understood more with reading the prior books first.
Book ❤'s:
* The first half of the book was engaging and kept my interest.
* The book never felt slow or sluggish.
* I enjoyed the mix of forbidden romance and suspense.
* I loved Ares protectiveness, and Serenity's Innocence.
Book 👎's:
* Some of the writing/interactions between the characters seemed untimely, awkward and unrealistic to me.
* The pacing of the book moved very quickly. Even skipping Two Years! This made me lose connection to both the story and the characters development.
! Spoiler alert 🚨 🚨!
* I liked the book until the twist/mystery ending came into play. It felt like I was reading two separate books. (1st Half / 2nd Half).
I overall, really enjoyed this book of passion, obsession, and unexpected twists, and I look forward to going back to finish the rest of the series! I need to know more about this Kostanidis Family!

This book is so gripping, addictive, and a sizzling romance that keeps you glued to the pages from start to finish. Ares Kostanidis is the ultimate alpha protector. He is possessive, brooding, and willing to break every rule when it comes to keeping his ballerina safe. From the moment he steps into her life, the tension is undeniable.
The age gap, forced proximity, and undeniable chemistry between Ares and the heroine made their dynamic absolutely electrifying. He’s intense and controlling in the best way, and while she’s vulnerable, she’s not weak—she’s graceful yet fierce, and I loved watching her hold her own.
The suspenseful elements—a stalker lurking in the shadows, deep family secrets, and shocking revelations—kept me on edge, adding a thrilling layer to the romance. And let’s not forget the found family aspect, which brought so much depth and heart to the story.
This book delivers high heat, high drama, and a broody but sweet protector who will stop at nothing for the woman he’s sworn to keep safe. If you love forbidden guardian romances with intense passion, a protective billionaire hero, and unexpected twists, you need this book on your TBR. Absolutely unputdownable! 🔥💃🏽💖

This is the third book in the Konstanidis family series. This a series of interconnected books about 4brothers. This book is about Serenity and Ares. Ares becomes Serenity’s ward after purchasing some of the stocks her previous ward/guardian owned. The Konstanidis brothers needed the stock to take over a company of a man that had caused their family irreparable harm. When Ares meets Serenity she is a 19 year old ballet dancer. He believes that he will do his duty from afar and keep her protected with bodyguards. However, Ares becomes obsessed with her. He knows that she is too young for him and that he has no staying power. He dates women for a week or two and moves on. Serenity is a special girl. Her parents died when she was very young and she spent her most formative years at a boarding school. Two years later Serenity is the Prima ballerina in a dance company in New York living one floor below Ares. Can these two resist each other? Serenity also has to contend with a stalker who wants to own her and keep her hidden away. This was another fabulous book in this series. Each brother is possessive and domineering yet oh so loving with their partner. Amazing book. I cannot wait to read about the last, most difficult brother Hades.

This series has been phenomenal. And this book highlight all the delicious things that are amazing about this series. It follows Ares and Serenity. If you read Seduced by Contract you may remember we were introduced briefly to Serenity in that book. Ares has assumed the role of guardian to 18 year old Serenity. She has been training to be a ballerina her whole life. The first time they meet both feel their undeniable attraction. But Ares feels she is too young for him and he doesn’t do relationships. So he spends the next two years away from her.
Destiny has a way of making itself known. And they find their way back to each other while unraveling a mysterious stalker that is creating havoc with Serenity.
These Greek brothers are super protective of their women, they are also grumps. Ares does not disappoint. Serenity is a strong woman. Dealing with most everything without family but striving for her dream to be a prima ballerina.
I am a sucker for a suspenseful romance and really enjoyed the mystery of unraveling who her stalker is and why he is stalking her. I have truly enjoyed this series and can’t wait for the next installment!

Wow… Just Wow… D. A. Lemoyne outdid her previous work with this book. The storyline, plot twists, and characters of this book are exceptionally well-crafted. I loved the inclusion of POVs from the two main characters, Ares and Serenity, in addition to a few other characters when it was necessary to enhance the scene’s depth and complexity. Out the 3 books that came out in this series, Obsessed With Her is by far my a favorite. This book is packed with sweet romantic gestures, emotional moments, nail biting suspense and plot twists and heart warming family scenes. If you enjoy reading romantic suspense novels with the aforementioned tropes, I highly recommend this book.

Rating: 4 stars
All the Greek male characters in this authors stories are quite similar to each other - alpha, bit morally grey, very self-assured and apparently preferring the love interests to be younger. This isn't necessarily a bad thing, but you can definitely predict what to expect from the MMC in any of the stories of Kostanidus or Lykaios family.
And the female main characters also have something in common (despite the age gap) - they're fiery and a bit of Black Cats with some mystery in the backstory.
I loved that the suspense part wasn't super obvious. You could deduce it, if you payed attention, but it wasn't in your face evident.
However, I enjoyed the pacing in previous book more. Here with the time jumps in the story, the obsession didn't feels as strong and convincing as it could have been.
Looking forward to Hades' story next!
I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.

I received this ARC for my honest opinion. Obsessed with Her by D.A. Lemoyne was a good read. I enjoyed seeing Ares side of the story and how it plays into the family. Ares becomes a guardian for Serenity to make sure he can watch over her as they get the last 1%, they need in bank shares for the death of their parents. Ares as soon as he sets eyes on Serenity he is obsessed and cannot help but want to make him hers. Serenity feels the same way. It’s a game of cat and mouse where they both get what they want. Ares even though he is the playboy, is he ready to finally settle down? This was a good read. I was not able to walk away from the story and it kept in theme with previous books. You can see where the series plays together. The family really helps each other out. I am excited to see Hades story and where that leads.

If you love a billionare, age gap romance where the mmc is obsessed with the fmc. This one‘s for you!
This is book 3 of a greek family series, but can be read as a standalone.
I came in not knowing what to expect, since i haven’t read the first two books and never read this author’s books before. I was pleasantly surprised and really enjoyed it. Ares is an arrogant billionare and becomes obsessed with Serenity, a ballerina, the first time he sees her and he immediately wants her. The need to own & protect her is strong after he finds out she has a stalker. He is older than her (He is 36 and she is 20). The way he becomes obsessed with her made me melt! We love a man obsessed with his woman. Ares & Serenity‘s story is one of overcoming and growing together. I love how she softens him too. I can definitely recommend this book.

Obsessed with Her is the third book in the Kostanidis Family series and follows Ares and Serenity. Ares , the second child of the Kostanidis family, is the guardian of the young ballerina and while he cannot deny his attraction to her, he knows she is forbidden fruit. She was shipped off to boarding school in Germany for a while but now will be moving to New York and will be the prima ballerina so now she’s in his city and completely under his care. After a near death accident he rushes to her and refuses to let her leave his side. The forced proximity along with the natural attraction to each other sets up some steamy scenes. This book has it all: possessive morally grey alpha male, age gap, threats to her life, stalker (not mmc), billionaire romance and plot twists. I have absolutely loved this series and cannot wait to read Hades book.

“Don’t run away from me again.” — “Then make me stay.”
I absolutely love the Kostanidis family. This book is about Ares and he has recently found himself the legal guardian of a ballerina. It’s an instant attraction and he does his best to stay away, until some things happen and we get to see the super protective side of him. I loved to see the family dynamics within the family. Zeus, Dionysus, Ares and Hades are HOT HOT HOT!! I absolutely love how they protect their own. Serenity wasn’t one to back down, umm hello THAT DANCE?! She was feisty and she spoke her mind. She was not afraid to stand up for herself, although she did keep her stalker hidden for a little bit longer than I would have, but I loved their chemistry. It was a great romance, plus the romantic suspense with a plot twist I did not see coming.
I can’t wait until we get Hades story.

Ares becomes guardian to Serenity due to a pact with her previous guardian. At their first meetup, there is mutual attraction but Ares holds back as he is much older (16 years) and due to the nature of their relationship. Two years passes by and Serenity is now an accomplished ballerina who is also in danger due to her stalker.
I loved how the big Kostanidis family welcomed Serenity with wide open arms, and protected her as if she was part of their family right from the start! She grew up so lonely and even as a young woman, she barely had any friends.
Through Ares, she learns to be adventurous while Ares learns the meaning of true love. I loved those flirty moments between them. *Cough cough*, “I know what you did”.

There is a mutual attraction between Ares and Serenity, but he knows she is forbidden. Now Serenity is a ballerina, and has become the target of a stalker, Ares will do whatever he must to keep her safe and protected.
This is a good story which has found family, drama, emotions, mystery, secrets, suspense, intrigue, an age gap, forced proximity, twists and turns, obsession, and love, which leads to an enjoyable, and spicy, addictive page turner.
I look forward to reading more from this author whose work I recommend.
