English first, Dutch next!
Entangled in Desire and Temptation
‘Sir, I’m Obsessed’ is one of those stories that grabs you from the very first page. Rachel Elisabeth opens with a prologue bursting with action, a scene that immediately raises questions and ignites curiosity. It sets the tone for a story where far more is simmering beneath the surface than you initially expect.
At the center of the story is Elara, a woman who has slowly slipped into the monotony of everyday life after the birth of her son Eli. Her marriage is strained, the distance between her and her husband grows with each passing day, and the intimacy that once came naturally has faded. When a new man appears at her workplace, her carefully maintained routine begins to crack. The intensity of his presence sharpens everything around her. What starts as an innocent fascination evolves into a temptation that pulls her steadily toward boundaries she never imagined crossing.
Rachel Elisabeth writes with an addictive clarity: fast-paced, intense, and charged with emotion. Her prose has a hypnotic quality, making the tension between desire, guilt, and self-denial feel vivid without becoming overwhelming. She knows exactly when to slow down and when to increase the pressure, creating a rhythm that keeps you reading. What stands out most is how convincingly Elara’s inner turmoil is portrayed. Her doubts, desires, and fears feel painfully real, turning her into a fully human and relatable character.
The themes in ‘Sir, I’m Obsessed’ are bold and layered: infidelity, guilt, a marriage under strain, the complexities of motherhood, and the irresistible pull of the forbidden. Together, they form a dark, erotic, and psychologically charged narrative that lingers long after the final page. The ending, especially, leaves you with a blend of tension and emotion that stays with you.
For readers who enjoy dark romance with the emotional intensity of authors like Ana Huang or Penelope Douglas but crave additional psychological depth, this story is a perfect match. ‘Sir, I’m Obsessed’ offers exactly that: a tale where desire and danger intertwine, and where moral boundaries blur with every chapter.
Huge thanks to W. Griffin Publishing for providing the ARC and allowing me to share my honest opinion.

Een obsessie die niet zonder gevolgen blijft
‘Sir, I’m Obsessed’ is zo’n verhaal dat je direct vastgrijpt. Rachel Elisabeth opent met een proloog die barst van de actie, een scène die meteen vragen oproept en je nieuwsgierigheid voedt. Het is het soort begin dat duidelijk maakt dat er meer onderhuids broeit dan je in eerste instantie kunt vermoeden.
Centraal staat Elara, een vrouw die na de geboorte van haar zoon Eli langzaam is weggezakt in de sleur van alledag. Haar huwelijk schuurt, de afstand tussen haar en haar man voelt steeds groter en de intimiteit die ooit vanzelfsprekend leek, is vervaagd. Wanneer er op haar werk een nieuwe man verschijnt, wordt haar zorgvuldig opgebouwde routine doorbroken. De intensiteit van zijn aanwezigheid zet alles op scherp. Wat begint als een onschuldige fascinatie groeit uit tot een verleiding die haar steeds verder meesleept richting grenzen waar ze nooit had verwacht te komen.
Rachel Elisabeth schrijft met een verslavende directheid: vlot, intens en geladen met emotie. Haar stijl heeft iets hypnotiserends, waardoor de spanning tussen verlangen, schuld en zelfverloochening voelbaar wordt zonder dat het ooit te zwaar wordt. Ze weet precies wanneer ze moet vertragen en wanneer ze de druk opvoert, waardoor je steeds verder wilt lezen. Wat vooral opvalt is hoe geloofwaardig Elara’s innerlijke worsteling is neergezet. Haar twijfels, verlangens en angsten voelen pijnlijk herkenbaar en maken haar tot een compleet, menselijk personage.
De thema’s in ‘Sir, I’m Obsessed’ zijn stevig en genuanceerd: ontrouw, schuldgevoel, een huwelijk onder druk, de complexiteit van moederschap en de onweerstaanbare aantrekkingskracht van het verboden. Het geheel vormt een duister, erotisch en psychologisch geladen verhaal dat blijft nazinderen. Vooral het einde laat je met een mengeling van spanning en emotie achter, een gevoel dat nog even blijft hangen nadat je het boek hebt dichtgeslagen.
Voor liefhebbers van dark romance die de intensiteit waarderen van schrijvers als Ana Huang of Penelope Douglas maar graag extra psychologische diepgang zien, is dit verhaal een uitstekende keuze. ‘Sir, I’m Obsessed’ is precies dat: een boek waarin verlangen en gevaar hand in hand gaan en waarin morele grenzen langzaam vervagen.

A short story with one of my least favorite tropes that still ends up getting 4 stars? Then you know the author did something right.👏🏽
I went into this book completely blind without really checking what it was about and let me tell you, I ended up genuinely enjoying it. I loved the writing style. It immediately pulled me into the story and it was such an easy and enjoyable read. The home dynamic between Elara and her husband Rick honestly made me laugh because it was so relatable to my own life with a three-year-old toddler. I recognized so many of those irritations that I couldn’t help but laugh (thankfully we handle those things a bit better in our house tho🤭).
As much as I thought I would hate it, I actually loved the tension between Elara & Ethan and their spicy scenes delivered. The mystery surrounding Ethan added real value to the plot and kept the story engaging and unexpectedly suspenseful. I even got a little emotional at some point. I wasn’t bored for a single moment and found myself curious until the very last line about what would happen next.
I was genuinely sad when it ended, because I would have happily kept reading. I’m secretly hoping for a sequel because I’d read it immediately. 🤭
I rated this book 4⭐️ !

Sir, I’m Obsessed completely pulled me in from the very first page. It’s a short story, but the mystery surrounding Ethan made it impossible to stop reading. I was instantly hooked.
I absolutely loved Ethan and Elara together. The tension between them is intense, their chemistry undeniable, and the spice definitely delivers. Watching them both become obsessed with each other was addictive, and I couldn’t get enough of their dynamic. The epilogue from Ethan’s POV was such a highlight, and it only made me hope we’ll get even more of his perspective in a future book.
This story does include a trope that won’t be for everyone, but it felt realistic and was written in a way that never bothered me. I think many moms will recognize themselves in Elara, and some of those very relatable frustrations genuinely made me laugh out loud.
If you’re looking for a quick, enjoyable, and spicy read, I’d definitely recommend this one! 🔥📖

Very well written book that captures you from the beginning. Easy to get into with a special kind of tension that lasts throughout the book. Written entirely from FMC's perspective with sexual passion and feelings of guilt. However, I loved the epilogue that was written from his side.
Not quite my style and what I like but definitely worth reading.
Read triggers - because if infidelity is something you are not comfortable with, it may not be for you.

Absolutely 5 stars!
At first I want to say thanks to W. Griffin Publishing and Rachel Elisabeth for sending me this ARC.
This was my first book of Rachel and I absolutely loved it.
I was hooked to this book from the very start until the end. This book will send you on an emotional roller coaster. Normally I am not so much into the cheating trope but this story was so well written that it absolutely didn’t bother me at all. This book was so hot and I really hope that there will come a part two because I need to know more about what is going to happen next!

ARC review. I wasn’t really sure what to expect with this book, but I was pleasantly surprised. Elara is a typical working mom dealing with the stresses of being married, working and having a small child. She is drawn to the new coworker at her job and is unable to resist him. Sir, I’m Obsessed is a dark romance that takes you on a wild ride from start to finish!

“I saw something in you, something vulnerable.”
Since she became a mother, Elara’s life — and the relationship with her husband — has altered drastically.
A new colleague starts working at her firm, a handsome, mysterious man who makes every effort to keep his past tightly under wraps. Her days become ruled by the excitement he brings into her life, and she finds herself increasingly addicted and obsessed.
His darkness slowly corrupts her... will she ever see the light again?
To be clear I don’t approve cheating, I love reading about it, but I do not think it’s oke, but I can understand that you can be seduced if you feel like Elara. This book is very good! It was so relatable to my life with a 3 year old boy. I recognized so many of those irritations that I couldn’t help but giggle and I guess more of us had that. This book gave me something to think about, it’s written so realistic that it stayed in my mind, how Elara’s life was (for her) plain, not feeling like a women or sexy. This book gave me a lot of feels, sadness, anger, laughing and the spice is so spicing I love it! And than there is this plotwist oh my god ! I need book number 2 right now!
I give this book 4 stars, there was just one scene that I really did not like, but the rest of the book is really great. If you don’t mind the cheating trope this is really a book for you!

Heb ik dit boek gister ontvangen , ja
Ben ik dit boek vandaag begonnen, ja
Kon ik dit boek weg leggen ? NEE!
In een ruk heb ik dit boek uitgelezen ! Ik moest weten hoe het zat !
Elara is de zoveelste hard werkende mama die alle ballen probeert hoog te houden terwijl haar 2e “kind” toe kijkt en en geen vinger uit steekt. En nog jaloers wordt op een paar vingers als ze zelf ook nog een pleziertje wil beleven in de slaapkamer.
Rick is een Dick die pas wat gaat doen als hij aansprakelijk word gesteld . Fuck dat . En aan het eind nog zielig doen ook . Doei Rick 👋🏻 ga maar vertellen aan je mama wat een rot meid het is . Die pampert je wel 🤣vreselijk mens
Waneer ze eindelijk ontdekt wat haar vuurtje aanwakkert 🔥en ze dat onverwacht vind bij de nieuwe collega Ethan .
Meid we snappen je ! Zouden we het allemaal zo aanpakken ? Nee maar in ons hoofd zeker wel 😏
Maar toch vond ik meteen al iets niet kloppen aan deze snuiter . Gelukkig kan ik altijd m’n guts vertrouwen 🙃
Maar toch vinden we hem leuk .
Ik heb gelachen en misschien een traantje weg gepinkt .
Ik ben klaar voor deel 2 !

Going in to this book I found Elara to be so relatable. As a mother it feels your relationship takes a back burner to your children and responsibilities.
Elara's husband completely ignores hers needs, leaving her juggling work and their son. Leaving her feeling unappreciated. Until she gets a new team member. Ethan is everything she fantasies about. Hes dominate, degrading, dangerous and pushes the boundaries. The temptation is strong but so is the guilt.
I had such a fun time reading sir, I'm obsessed.

Omg! I love love love this book! It will have addicted from the very beginning! If you’ve read the Cat and mouse duet, you will definitely love this read because I can definitely see the similarities between Ethan and Zade! I sincerely hope two book is being written because this book definitely has me wanting more! Thank you Rachel Elisabeth for this absolutely amazing book, will definitely be reading more of your books soon! 😍
Review of advance copy received from Author
⭐⭐⭐⭐
Finally, a book that proves the only thing scarier than a toddler’s temper tantrum is a mysterious colleague with a dark past.
I related to Elara on a spiritual level—sometimes marriage is hard, and you just want a little excitement. Granted, my idea of excitement is ordering the spicy curry, while Elara’s idea is getting entangled with a walking, talking red flag at work. Watching her spiral from ‘exhausted mom’ to ‘obsessed thriller protagonist’ was a wild, chaotic ride that made me forget about my own pile of laundry. A total page-turner that proves HR really needs to do better background checks!

Sir I am not obessed.
Sorry, I really want to like this book but I didn't.
The start was good, but the trope is not for me and that made me dislike the story more and more in got in to it.
I am sadly not a fan of the way the book it written (third person) or the sudden change in time and place. It just next line, not new paragraph or chapter or section. Not a fan.
I also have problems with the title. Why is it not " Im Obessed, Sir". That would have made more sense.

First of all, thank you so much to W. Griffin Publishing and Rachel Elizabeth for providing me with the ARC.
As a new mom, I found myself relating deeply to Elara and the emotions she goes through. Being able to place myself in the head of the main character made the story even more enjoyable and immersive for me. Moms will definitely recognize parts of themselves in Elara, which adds an extra layer of connection to the book.
And let’s be honest… the smut is smutting 🔥
Rachel Elizabeth definitely delivers when it comes to spice.
There’s also a touch of tension and suspense woven into the story, which kept me turning the pages and wanting to know what would happen next. It’s not just spicy it has enough intrigue to keep you engaged.
I would absolutely recommend this book if you’re looking for a quick, enjoyable read. It’s a fairly short story, making it the perfect in-between book or palate cleanser when you need something fun, spicy, and easy to get through.

A book with a woman, a mother specifically, exploring her sexuality. I’m all in.
This was dark, twisted, spicy and such a fun read. I was waiting to eventually get fed up of Elara as she isn’t the type of fmc I vibe with. But I suppose her love for her son and her vulnerable side appealed to me as a mother with a son the same age.
Ethan, sexy, grey and mysterious. With a dark side you know will be dangerous.
Also, thank you Rachel, for making a mum character that I’m sure some of us can kind of relate to, wanting to feel sexy and wanted. But obviously without doing stuff and wanting someone we definitely shouldn’t.
I loved this and genuinely am so grateful I got it as an arc as it was such a fun read.

I was genuinely surprised by how much I enjoyed this book. Very taboo and super spicy, but also had a decent plot. The ending to that epilogue surprised me (and I was surprised by how much I actually wanted that…) and it definitely has me wanting more.
December 28, 2025
Wow this was a very nice read.
I loved the way characters develop in this book. Even tho it has some trigger warnings you should be aware of. So don’t be a Karen just read them first before you read further!
But on my part I didn’t care enough 😂 #idonthavetriggersinbooks😂
Story and plot where a chef kiss I really can’t waite for book 2!!!!
I loved Ethan and his roar (had teddy hamilton as a voice in my mind)😂😂 can’t help it but his roar 💦💦

Sir, I’m Obsessed is a forbidden romance book that grabbed me from the very first chapter. It follows Elara, a working mom who finds herself caught in an undeniable and high-stakes attraction to a new coworker.
I’m not big on the cheating trope, however, the tension in this book is incredible. It’s written primarily from her perspective, allowing you to really feel her passion mixed with the heavy guilt of her situation. You will feel the feelings right along with her.
We definitely need a book 2!

Before you read this dark and erotic story, you should definitely check de trigger warnings!
Rachel Elisabeth is a new author to me, but she gained a new fan. Yes, that's me.
Elara, a woman who struggles between motherhood, being a wife, and her job. You can feel her frustrations of not feeling appreciated through the pages.
Especially from her spouse Rick. She longs for something forbidden, something that's been buried deep inside of her.
Ethan, her new colleague, makes her feel all kinds of things she only dreams of.
Rachel Elisabeth takes you on a dark tantalizing journey with all the heat and plottwist you may desire.
For me it was definitely a 5 star read.
I want more!

OH MY GOOOOOD. 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
Wanneer je tegen jezelf zegt:
“Wtf ik had haar man allang een tik op z’n neus gegeven”
“vreemd gaan is echt niet oké omg maar die rick is echt verschrikkelijk en Ethan is echt omggggg”.
“Omg ze gaat gewoon vreemd op kantoor ik zou dat echt nooit doen wat de fuck”
“Omg hij is echt hot as f”
“Waarom is haar schoonmoeder zo bloed irritant”
“Yo maar haar kind is ook echt bloed irritant en hij is pas 3 fzo?!”
“ZE GAAT VREEMD TERWIJL HAAR MAN NAAST HAAR ZIT OMG DAN HEB JE ECHT BALLEN”
“ZE GAAT WAT NOU DOEN?!”
“Ze heeft echt problemen”
“Heeft ze problemen of zit ze gewoon echt met haarzelf in de knoop en maakt ze gewoon wel domme domme fouten?
“THEY DOING WHAT NOW AT THE WHAT CONVENTION”
“ZE GAAN WAT”
“Waarom praat zij heel dit boek niet over de gevoelens tegen niemand omg”
“Waar de fuck komt dit ongeluk ineens vandaan?”
“THIS IS SO CUTE AND WHAT???”
Oké. Deel 2 is nodig!
Al met al was het een rollercoaster van emoties. Van dingen die ik in het echte leven never nooit zou kunnen doen tot heeeeeel veel spice waarvan ik denk ja! De caracters mochten wel wat meer achtergrond story of meer weetjes hebben maar het is ook maar een boek van 200 blz. Loved it wel!
Wanneer je tegen jezelf zegt:
“Wtf ik had haar man allang een tik op z’n neus gegeven”
“vreemd gaan is echt niet oké omg maar die rick is echt verschrikkelijk en Ethan is echt omggggg”.
“Omg ze gaat gewoon vreemd op kantoor ik zou dat echt nooit doen wat de fuck”
“Omg hij is echt hot as f”
“Waarom is haar schoonmoeder zo bloed irritant”
“Yo maar haar kind is ook echt bloed irritant en hij is pas 3 fzo?!”
“ZE GAAT VREEMD TERWIJL HAAR MAN NAAST HAAR ZIT OMG DAN HEB JE ECHT BALLEN”
“ZE GAAT WAT NOU DOEN?!”
“Ze heeft echt problemen”
“Heeft ze problemen of zit ze gewoon echt met haarzelf in de knoop en maakt ze gewoon wel domme domme fouten?
“THEY DOING WHAT NOW AT THE WHAT CONVENTION”
“ZE GAAN WAT”
“Waarom praat zij heel dit boek niet over de gevoelens tegen niemand omg”
“Waar de fuck komt dit ongeluk ineens vandaan?”
“THIS IS SO CUTE AND WHAT???”

Net dit boek uit gelezen. Wat een verhaal! 100 emoties heb ik over ethan. Van oeh 🔥 naar wat een 🤬 tot aan ah nou misschien toch wel. Het boek is pakkend en leest zo makkelijk weg. Ik kan niet wachten tot een volgend deel. Zo benieuwd hoe dit verder zal gaan. Mijn hart doet pijn voor deze mensen. Nu wachten op meer!

✨ If you loved Fifty Shades of Grey, this one should definitely be on your TBR.
ARC Review
Thank you so much to the author/publisher for the ARC
This is a short, spicy read that’s perfect for in between books. The story follows a young mother stuck in a relationship rut, whose life takes a turn when she meets a new colleague carrying a dark secret. Unable to resist the temptation, the FMC finds herself pulled into a situation far more complicated than she expected.
If you’re a sucker for an MMC who knows exactly what he wants, carries a dark edge, and brings not a hint but a full wave of spice…. this book is definitely for you. The author does a great job pulling you into the FMC’s emotional world, making most of her choices understandable, even when they’re messy.
There’s a delicious plot twist (yes, I’m a sucker for those) that makes the final part fly by.
Personally, it took me a bit to get into the story. I tend to gravitate toward stronger FMCs, and at times she came across as a little naïve to me. That said, her character does grow throughout the book, and the story managed to keep my attention until the end.
My Scorecard:
⭐ Stars: 3/5
📈 Thrill meter: 3/5
🌶 Spice: 5/5
🎵 Music rec: The Weeknd – Often

Dit is een kort boek dat perfect is om tussendoor te lezen. Het verhaal volgt een jonge moeder die vastzit in een sleur binnen haar relatie, tot ze een nieuwe collega ontmoet die een duister geheim met zich meedraagt. Omdat de FMC de verleiding niet kan weerstaan, raakt ze verwikkeld in een complexe situatie.
Als jij een zwak hebt voor een MMC die precies weet wat hij wil, een donker randje heeft en geen vleugje maar een golf aan spice meebrengt, dan is dit absoluut een boek voor jou. De schrijfster weet je goed mee te nemen in de emoties van de FMC, waardoor je (bijna) al haar keuzes kunt begrijpen.
Er zit een heerlijke plottwist in, (sucker voor plots hiero) die ervoor zorgt dat je het laatste deel in één ruk wilt uitlezen.
Persoonlijk vond ik het begin wat lastig om in te komen. Dat komt vooral doordat ik zelf meer houd van sterke FMC’s; soms kwam ze op mij wat naïef over en begreep ik niet elke keuze. Gelukkig groeit haar karakter gedurende het verhaal en weet de schrijfster je aandacht vast te houden.
✨ Vond je Fifty Shades of Grey geweldig? Dan hoort deze zeker op je TBR .

I had the pleasure to be an ARC reader for this book
I have given this book three stars purely because this was not a dark Romance in my opinion saying that, there are elements of this, just not heavy enough for me
The book took a while to get going but once you get there it heats up and the story is good
If you are new or want to dabble in Dark Romance this is a good book to start
So to the main review …….
In the Book you meet Elara the MFC she is a mother and wife, she has her little one Eli and husband Rick, since having the baby her marriage has been suffering and she doesn’t know what’s missing, she is a realtor and work for a small company where a new colleague arrives
This is Ethan the MMC he is mysterious and handsome and she can’t stop looking they are flirting and the tension is high, he is a dominant male and knows what’s missing he likes in the bedroom and they start an affair
During this affair Elara feels alive and knows what’s missing this is what’s she has been missing, someone taking control and dominating in her sex life
She is curious as to who Ethan really is as she feels somethings not quite right
Having found out she tries to break things off and he won’t allow it telling her she is his and he is not done
I can’t say much more as I will spoil it for you
As I say this is a good story and was a good read and the star rating is purely on the Dark romance side
But grab the book and enjoy the journey between Elara and Ethan

Wow… what a story.
I honestly didn’t know exactly what I was getting into. I knew it would be about a young mother navigating the very familiar struggles of marriage with young children: exhaustion, feeling like you have to carry everything on your own, a husband who doesn’t fully take responsibility, and the loss of connection and intimacy.
Then I read the prologue… and wow. It was raw, hard-hitting, and powerful. I actually had to pause and catch my breath.
Still, I continued with the first chapter. The author immediately draws you into Elara’s daily routine, a young mother who feels lonely, disconnected, and missing passion and closeness. Many women will likely recognize themselves in her situation. I truly felt for Elara—I could feel the weight she was carrying.
Then a new male colleague enters the picture. At first, Elara reacts defensively, but soon she becomes intrigued by him. He’s good at his job, mysterious, and undeniably attractive. The attraction is mutual, and before she knows it, she’s drawn into his addictive and compelling presence.
This story is dark, spicy, and totally gripping.
Rachel Elisabeth’s writing is vivid and engaging; the story never drags. It fully immerses you in Elara’s emotional world and keeps you curious about what happens next. Despite the intensity of the prologue, I kept reading—and I’m so glad I did.

Arc Review
This lovely book is about Elara. Elara is married with Rick and they have a young son together. She has a good job, but it is extra busy at work due to some absent colleagues. Even while Rick only has some odd jobs here, Elara does basically everything at home. Rick is painted as a parent that isn't really present. His behavior is cause for a not so good patch in their marriage.
When a new colleague, Ethan, is introduced at Elara's workplace, to help with the busy times, Elara's first response is repulsive. He is after all competition. But not soon after she gets more and more intrigued with him.
They get an affair, a steamy and spicy one at that. Ethan seems to fill a void in Elara's needs. But.... Ethan is hiding something.
This book describes a very relatable situation in a young family. The resonance with Elara therefor is big. The spice was spicing and the book has a fast pace, where Rachel is known for. Don't get me started on the twist.... oh boy!
I really enjoyed reading it and am very much looking forward to the sequel.
Oh and Rick is just a huge a$$ and I would have probably kicked him out.

When Secrets and Desire Collide
Book Review – Sir, I’m Obsessed
I was gifted this book in exchange for an honest review, and I was completely drawn into the story.
We follow Elara, a married woman with a baby, juggling a demanding career in property while feeling unsupported at home. When she meets Ethan, a mysterious and intriguing man with secrets of his own, her life begins to change in unexpected ways. Their connection sparks a journey of self-discovery as Elara starts to explore a submissive side of herself that she never knew she had.
The storyline is engaging and emotionally charged, with a strong focus on character dynamics and tension. This is definitely a slow burn, with a gradual buildup throughout the book. While I would have loved to see a little more depth in places, it didn’t stop me from enjoying the ride and this is why I gave it four stars instead of five.
Overall, this was a compelling read with intriguing and well-developed characters. I’d happily recommend it to readers who enjoy slow-burn romance with emotional layers and a touch of mystery.

I was fortunate enough to receive a review copy of this novel, and was so glad I did!
Right from the start I was drawn in by the feelings and emotions experienced by the main character Elara, and the thrill of forbidden thoughts and guilty pleasures. I certainly was not expecting to be rationalising the actions of a woman engrossed in an illicit affair, but the raw and relatable way the character was written had me firmly on her team!
I couldn't help but feel excited and attracted by the mysteriously sexy, and dangerous character of Ethan, and his apparently shady past - who doesn't love a bad boy?
The writing was saucy and seductive without being smutty, the intimate moments got my heart racing and had me hot under the collar, eagerly awaiting the next encounter, it was so hard to put this book down to attend to my work day!!
I am secretly hoping to read future encounters of this forbidden coupling....

Och, wat is dit boek geweldig. Het tikt alle hokjes voor een dark sexy romance. Verbonden liefde/lust, hunkering en natuurlijk sex. Rachel schrijft het op zo'n manier dat je direct met de hoofdpersoon, Elara, wilt ruilen. Wie wil er nou niet iemand hebben die zo hunkert naar je dan Ethan doet naar Elara.
Natuurlijk gaat het deze 2 niet voor de wind, anders wordt of een dun boekje of saai. Sir, I'm Obsessed is beide niet.
Dus als je houdt van sexy boeken, is dit echt er één voor jou. En mocht Engels niet je voorkeur hebben, is dit boek ook in het Nederlands te krijgen als Ja, meneer.

Review of advance copy received from Author
I read this book as an ARC. It was very spicy. Some plot. It’s about a woman deciding who she really is, but at what cost? There were a couple of twist and turns. But it left you on a cliffhanger. Not sure if there’s going to be another one or not.
