Lorcan's Obsession

by C.S. Solarys

A steamy secret identity billionaire romance from author C.S. Solarys.

Lorcan Greene

I’ve been watching her. Calculating, biding my time, planning what I’ll do to her when I finally have her. She is the exception to the rule. I don’t chase women; they fall at my feet. But for her, I’ll use everything at my command to make her mine.

I want her body.

I want her screams.

I want her devotion.

And I won’t stop until she doesn’t recognize herself without me.

Tristen Morgana

Whoever said men were made for anything more than pleasure hasn’t met me yet. I’ve perfected the game—meet at a neutral location, bang, disappear.

And what I currently want is to sink my teeth into the hottie who spilled a drink on me last night and leave him none the wiser.

There’s just one problem … he came prepared for the long-term game, and I’m haunted by dark secrets that cannot see the light of day.

Lorcan’s Obsession is the first book in the Bedroom Roulette series, an interconnected trilogy. Expect morally gray characters, possessive/OTT MMC, amateur stalking, and enough heat to melt your Kindle.

This was a 2.75 for me but I rounded up to be more generous.
I really wanted to like this book, it had a lot of my favorite tropes and it sounded right up my alley. From the very first page I thought this book was just cringe. I can’t put my finger on it but something just didn’t click with me and make me swoon over it

The some words were very overused, they called eachother ‘baby’ to the point of being insufferable and the way certain sex scenes were described was just not it for me. I liked the idea of the book; them both being kinda playboy/play girl and not doing relationships but it didn’t live up to my expectation. I will say the ending was a shock and it could tempt me to keep going with the series but I’m not sure at this moment.

✨ARC REVIEW✨


MAYBE SPOILERS AHEAD

My Ratings:
⭐️⭐️⭐️.75/⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

I’ll start with the things I liked about this book

- Billionare Romance one of my favorites
- Possive Alpha MMC with pierced ehmmm and makes me wonder if it feels that good!
- Steamy 😮‍💨 VERY steamy
- the Banter was sooooo good!
- I jived with the writing style of the author! I will for sure read more of her books!
- I did not see that ending coming! Jaw dropping! I would have thought some other thing! boy was I wrong! Can’t wait for book 2!


Now for the things I found “meh”

- Lorcan is very narcissistic that it was off putting sometimes
- I found that the couple lacked chemistry or the build up was lacking. I wasn’t kicking my feet or shouting when they first got together. It felt all so sudden when they “fell inlove”
- After 7 years of not dating… Tristen just gave it all up all, so suddenly, and when they got together the banter wasn’t there anymore


Overall I still very much enjoyed the book and I so badly want a book about Bradley and Dom!

This was my second time reading and listening to this and still 4 ⭐️ !
Michelle Sparks & Branden Francis narrated this one and they did such an amazing job with these characters! Definitely made the story come to life and made it so much hotter! 🌶️🔥🌶️🔥

This is about Lorcan & Tristian. He literally stalked her for 3 weeks before making a move..
Lorcan is a CEO and Tristian is in law school.
Lorcan he fell hard and fast for Tristian. She always had her walls up. Lorcan swooned her, took care of her, and worshipped her. He literally is obsessed with her. Tristian, I could tell she wasn’t the relationship type, but after meeting Lorcan she couldn’t get him out of her head and she craved him.

She had her secrets and then boom Lorcan finds out her secret and that was it. It ended on a cliffhanger! Now off to book 2!

Thank you CS Solarys for the ALC!

After Lorcan saw her from across the bar, he had to have her. So he sat watching her, studying her every night for three weeks. Until one night, he sat beside her and accidentally spilled his drink on her. Tristen doesn't do relationships. She gets what she needs from men in one-night stands and moves on. It's when she meets Lorcan that she finds herself breaking her rule and heading off with him for a weekend in Switzerland. As Lorcan works to break down Tristen's walls to get her to continue to see him, he finds himself falling for her. But Tristen is keeping a secret, and if she let's that out, she afraid it would destroy everything between the two of them.

Can I just say that I was completely obsessed with Lorcan's Obsession? This book just oozes sexiness! From page one to the very end, this book is nonstop hot! The chemistry between Lorcan and Tristen is combustible. Lorcan is literally obsessed with Tristen and worships her and her body in all the best ways. Tristen never does relationships, but she finds herself letting Lorcan in. This is a very spicy book with some darker elements, so make sure to read the trigger warnings if you have any triggers. It also ends on with a shocking cliffhanger. Throughout the book, I cooked up multiple scenerios of what Tristen's secret could be. I was wrong, so very wrong. I did not see this one coming at all. I screamed out loud and yelled at how this one ended. I'm not OK and I need book two to release asap because I need to know what happens next!!!

Lorcan's Obsession Review 
C.S. SOLARYS

Rating 5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice 4🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

This is the first book of The Bedroom Roulette series. The MMc Lorcan spotted FMC Tristen while put one night. He then proceeds to stalk her for 3 weeks before attempting to make a move.

Lorcan, convinces Tristen to have drinks one night, then made a bet and she agreed to go away for the weekend.

He fell hard and fast for Tristian, but she always had her walls up. Lorcan swooned her, took care of her, and worshipped her. He is literally obsessed with her. 

Tristen however has a secret that she is afraid will get out. You will spend the whole book trying to figure out what the secret is, you won't though.

Then Lorcan finds out her secret it is a hugh cliffhanger and the book ends. Luckily there will be another book so we will find out what happens eventually.

This is a very spicy book with some darker elements, so as always please make sure to read the trigger warnings if you have any triggers.

I highly recommend this book. And am waiting with baited breath for the next book.

I finished Lorcan’s Obsession (Book 1 of the Bedroom Roulette series) and I must say, well done!

This is the story of two very stubborn, very powerful people who are drawn together one night in a bar. Lorcan Greene, billionaire and CEO (translation=he does not get rejected) watches Tristen Morgana from afar for 3 weeks. Beautiful, intelligent, independent, not one guy has been able to successfully buy her a drink. Lorcan concocts a plot to get her attention and it works. They become obsessed with each other but she is still hesitant to give in. What starts out as a conquest for each party soon turns into a love story. Until a twist at the end that is sure to bring you to your knees. Cannot wait for book 2!

🌶️ 🌶️ 🌶️ 🌶️

As soon as I read the dedication for this book, I knew I was in for a wild ride!
This book was so unexpected!! When I first read the Blurb and tropes and viewed the marketing materials, I expected more of an Angsty, brooding MMC and for this book to be more Dark Romance-ish. And yes, I would still consider this more of a Darker romance, but I was so pleasantly surprised with the amount of Humor and Wit in this book! I had recently read some really really dark books, so I had already planned out a way I would slowly read this one, and what Fluff I would read in between, but once I got started I couldn't stop!! The humor and the authors voice throughout this book, is just subtle enough to not take away from the plot of the book and make this a rom com, but it was enough to make this book easy for me to read in one sitting.

And don't even get me started on that ending!!!!!! I had a lot of guesses as to what was going on with Tristen, but I did not expect that!!!I can not wait for the second book to come out so we can get some more answers!!

TL;DR - This book was super enjoyable and I'd definitely recommend!!

[Jacqueline Diaz · Rating 5 out of 5]

Lorcan's Obsession by @cssolarys is a steamy dark billionaire romance. Book 1 in the Bedroom Roulette series. This book had my jaw hanging because it was so good. Its a dark romance with a possessive alpha, secret identity and great banter between the MMC and FMC. Tristen secret what the …. I was left shocked I was not ready for it and neither was Lorcan. I cant wait for more.

“ the ladies were hopelessly drawn to me like toddlers to a wall socket.” 😂

[Kaitlin James · Rating 4 out of 5]

This was my first book by C. S. Solarys and it will not be my last. I really enjoyed this style of writing. There was a rollercoaster of emotions throughout this book and events that kept me engaged. The FMC is keeping a secret that I just could not figure out and totally shocked me! Between the steam and the banter, this book was great!

[Rebecca Middleton · Rating 4 out of 5]

- Arc Review -

This is a steamy romance depicting the change from the mmc’s playboy lifestyle to being obsessed with the woman he loves. Lorcan spots Tristen in a bar and decides to watch her before making his move. Tristen is adamant that she does not do relationship but Lorcan believe that he is the one that will change her mind. Lorcan refuses to sleep with Tristen at first in hopes that building an emotional connection will help his plan to win her over. As time goes on his plan for an emotional connection wins and they start building a loving relationship. The two of them go through struggles with work, friends, ex’s, and jealousy’s. It is an interested read being that they are both portrayed a “player” and they fight for control in the relationship.

Lorcan is head over heels for this woman but he feels like she is holding something back from him. From Tristen’s point of view, we know there is something that she has not told him. It pops up in many chapters that she has a secret that will ruin their relationship but she can’t find it in herself to tell him. This option is taken away from her in the final scene when Lorcan finds the truth in a shocking manner. The book ends on a giant cliffhanger that makes you ready for book 2 immediately!

There are many descriptive sexual scenes in this book. It was well written and did not focus too much on including supporting characters. Their relationship was left written on the page for you to love. Only time will tell how their relationship unfold in book 2..

[Lindsay Jenkins · Rating 4 out of 5]

Steamy, witty and surprising.

The dark MMC was a bit unhinged and I loved it. Falling for an FMC with a secret is never good and
C.S. SOLARYS did this one so well.

Book 2 - need it now!!!

[Shana · Rating 3 out of 5]

Idk. I liked the idea of the story but while reading it just didn't click for me. The chemistry between the characters was really lacking for me. I felt like it was dragging and it just didn't really capture my attention. I just wanted to skip to the end.

[Callisa · Rating 4 out of 5]

I finished this last night and oh my goodnesssssss.

So this is not my main genre, I am a sucker for romantasy, so I do sometimes worry about my attention span when it comes to smut without fantasy elements. That was hardly a problem in this book.

CS Solarys has the most delicious, juicy, seductive writing I think I've ever read. I love to ARC read on the gym in the treadmill and when I say I can only imagine the faces I was making during this book...

I absolutely love that when Lorcan and Tristen faced conflict, they actually handled it. I'm tired of reading about couples that have their egos and pride too inflated to talk about issues. And on top of that, I absolutely did not see the cliffhanger coming. Like I knew something was up, but I didn't guess... that. Cannot wait for the second book!

[Corinna · Rating 5 out of 5]

You'd think you would hate Lorcan for his obsession, but nearing the end, nope. At times, yes, you can, lol. It's her, and there is something that still seems to be unanswered with her. You feel it in your gut. Here is where the obsession makes sense, in my opinion. Then you read those two damn words that make you throw the book and say, "whaaaaaaaat!". The words are "The End" when he connects the dots with the red booty shorts and then the sound of a wine glass being shattered on the marble floor. I should take a star off for THAT ending. How could you end like that?!?!!

Side note: The next book better have answered why you ended the book like that. Just like that! Ugh, lol.

[Stephanie P · Rating 4 out of 5]

This had a twist!!!! You really try to figure it out in the end but when it comes out be ready! I really enjoyed the dynamics of this book and the spice!

[Sara Persman · Rating 4 out of 5]

I do enjoy a cat and mouse kind of game, and with the two main characters, they played it well. I did enjoy the story for the most part. The spice was pretty well in point, and of course, the male falling first was a nice change from what I have been reading. I do, however, feel that some words were overused, and there were some spots that I felt that the story was a bit slow. The ending was a bit of surprise, and I am interested to see how this plays out.

[Gabysbookshelf · Rating 2 out of 5]

This man is the definition of obsessed! He is a retired playboy and she’s a girl who doesn’t do relationships. However, he’s so hellbent on getting her to commit to him. The banter was amazing and so was Tristen and Lorcan’s relationship. The reason I’m not rating it higher is because Lorcan was unbearable in the beginning. I understand that his character is built around the whole narcissistic playboy vibe but it was just so off putting.

The obsession is so real with this one! Lorcan is obsessed from first sight of Tristan and is determined to make her his. But Tristan has a secret and isn’t quite ready to let him into her life or her heart.

I could not stop gushing over the performances from Michelle Sparks and Brandon Francis listening to this. They were both so incredible and love them as a performance duo!

Lorcan’s Obsession by C.S. Solarys is book one of the Bedroom Roulette series. Performed in duet by Michelle Sparks and Brandon Francis. Produced by Blue Nose Audio

[Neia Quaintance · Rating 4 out of 5]

This book had me hooked from beginning to end, and Lorcan is amazing. Every woman should have a Lorcan. Tris is a very lucky woman, and she has lots of walls and secrets to get rid of. But Lorcan is so obsessed that he will break those walls down anyway he can. This book leaves on a huge cliffhanger, and I need book 2 like yesterday.

[Book It Up · Rating 5 out of 5]

Oh. My. Gosh. I LOVED this entire thing start to finish. I couldn’t put it down. If i wasn’t busy with work and mom duties i was reading this.
I love the way Lorc is so open about his love for Tris. Had me over here tearing up at times because AWWWEEE😭 and THAT ENDING left my jaw on the floor. Definitely not something I expected. Can’t wait for the next in the series!!!

Mind the trigger warnings as there is a LOT of explicit content.

[Inge Mosch · Rating 4 out of 5]

Normally I need some time to get into a new book but I was immediately sucked into the story at the start of this one.
I found the book very good and spicy hot!

You know Tristan has a secret and as you read on you get more and more curious. At the end of the book the secret is partially revealed and I was shocked. And I really just needed part 2 of the series right away because I'm completely messed up by the ending. I can't wait for part 2, I MUST know how this ends!

Overall, I really enjoyed the story and definitely recommend this book to everyone!

This definitely gave spicy romcomish vibes and I'm here for it. Lorcan is a playboy turned lover-boy with a big bank account and a big pierced 🍆 to match. Lorcan is head over heels obsessed with Tristan and, was willing to do anything to make her feel the same way about him. Throughout the book, we keep hearing that Tristan has a big secret she keeping from Lorcan. Nothing and I mean nothing could have prepared me for the reveal of what her secret was. I want to throw my tablet at how the book ends on her secret being revealed.

like .. i did not expect to like this as much as i ended up, but thank you so much to the publishers and to the author for giving me an arc.

i loved the push and pull of lorcan and tristan's relationship. i loved how they played a game of cat and mouse with one another, and reading the struggles of tristan finding herself falling in love with lorcan even if she didn't intend to .. and now i am so eagerly awaiting the second book to find out all about this double life she's been living!!

[Keza Campbell · Rating 4 out of 5]

I enjoyed this story. It was spicy hot, and the angsty push and pull was not to bad.
Lorcan was very...confident!
Tristan, I felt was a lot closed off at times. Which gave Lorcan reason to be concerned, I really liked her though.
It was certainly written well.
Again I should mention the spice! 🔥😁

That ending was almost brutal. I will be waiting for book two for sure!

What. The. Crap? Ok, so I was not prepared for the end of this book. Not even a little bit. And now I need the second book. Like yesterday. This book sucked me in and spit me back out. And I’m not mad about it.
