Lilliana has been running her entire adult life. Running from her past and the demons that haunt her nightmares. She moves to a new city, changes her name and begins a career as a sports psychologist for The Southern Storm, one of the best hockey teams in the league. So focused on hiding her past and being taken seriously in a male dominated world, she doesn’t notice that she’s caught the eye of the team’s rookie defenseman, Noah Kolgrim. But a freak accident brings them together, allowing her to feel safe and happy for the first time in a long time.
That is until a ghost from her past shows up. Dmitri Volkkon is arguably the best player in the league. Known as the Raging Russian, he dominates every single game he plays. So why would he take a pay cut mid-season to join the Storm? And why does Lilliana seem terrified by his mere presence?
As the team fights for their place in the playoffs, past obsessions and stolen secrets threaten to bring everything crashing down. In the end will their obsession bring them together or tear them apart?
I love going into a book blind and being completely surprised by what I’m reading. Without giving any spoilers, all I can say is that I enjoyed everything this book was giving.
5⭐️ 3.5🌶️ 🏒Hockey Romance 🏒Why Choose 🏒MFM/MMF 🏒Bi-Awakening 🏒Second Chance 🏒Touch Her & ☠️ 🏒Multi First Person POV
Their Obsession has a little bit of everything a dark romance lover wants in a book. She is a sports psychologist for a professional hockey team. Dom is her obsessive, mask wearing, ex from high school who broke her heart. Then we have Noah, he plays for the team Lily works for and has been obsessed with her since his first day. This story unfolds with glimpses to Lily’s past to when she was a senior in high school. She is haunted with dark memories from her senior year. Lily finds that she is happy with Noah and wants to move on. Lily hasn’t seen Dom since he left her behind in high school. When he gets himself traded to Noah’s team she attempts to break things off with Noah so he doesn’t get hurt. With Dom’s reappearance in Lily’s life she is forced to face her dark past before she can move on. Dom decides he wants them both, he’s obsessed. I loved how they were each drawn to Lily for different reasons, Dom wants her darkness and Noah lives for her light. They may be obsessed with her but as Lily says they’re her “mania.” I loved how the past was told and placed into the present day story, slowly revealing more and more about Dom and Lily’s past. The spice is hot, we get mm, mf, mfm, and mmf scenes that will burn up the pages and melt your kindle. Dom’s dirty mouth and Noah’s praise is a heady combination. These three work great, Lily has both light dark parts, Noah feeds the light and Dom feeds the dark. Those two are just as obsessed with with each other as they are with her.

A Few Favorite Quotes:
“She’s mine. I feel it deep in my bones, in my f*€king marrow.”
“But now, I don’t just want you. I’m obsessed with you. Your darkness calls to me, little killer.”
“I don’t just want each of them—I need them both. I’m a greedy f*€king bastard, and I don’t intend to choose.”
“He’s my calm in the storm. His warmth and strength immediately calm me.”
“He’s just as much mine as I am his—our jagged pieces fitting together perfectly.”
“I need his praise, his warmth and kindness, just as much as I need Dom’s dark and demanding control.”
“And while these men might think that I belong to them, they have no idea that my obsession with them is equally as intense. I may be their obsession, but they’re my mania.”
This was such a random little palette cleanser — not something I loved, but I also could not put it down so idk what that says about me. At around 250 pages, it’s pure “what on earth is happening??” energy in the best way. The chemistry kept me hooked, even when I wasn’t sure how I felt about the story itself. It’s chaotic, weirdly addictive, and kind of fun? Definitely one of those books that sneaks up on you while you’re just trying to take a quick reading break
Huge thank you to L.O. Gold to including me on your ARC team!
I have some mixed feelings about this and my review will be completely honest. This was 3.5 stars for me and I rounded down. The review might sound a little negative but overall I did enjoy this.
This book was a quick and entertaining read… but the fact that it was such a quick read was a major hang up for me. I genuinely believe with another 100 pages, things could have been so much better explained and this could have been like a 4 star read. I say this because things weren’t really explained well, there was not much backstory to some things (we breezed through a lot of important characters or events), things were very jumpy and so much insta-love/lust/obsession. Some examples I have are the introduction of Dom in the current timeline, Noah’s infatuation with Lilly and Lilly’s relationship with her mom (this especially because from the flashback with her in the principal’s office, she seemed like a loving parent, yah know?). However, this was really entertaining! Ghostface x stalker x hockey = a damn good combo and three things I enjoy when I read romance. I have no shame in that 🤷🏼♀️. Like I won’t lie that I was hooked from the first chapter.
I really did like all three main characters and I do think they complimented each other. Noah was big golden retriever energy. Lilly was very goal oriented and really cared about protecting others. And Dom was just a man obsessed and we 👏🏼 love 👏🏼 to 👏🏼 see 👏🏼 it 👏🏼. Seeing the three of them interact and grow together was fun. However, I feel like would could have benefited from seeing more. Like I mentioned, it just felt really rushed and insta-obsession to me?
Let’s talk about nicknames because we all know I always have SOMETHING to say about the damn nicknames. Sunshine? Great. Pretty boy? Sure. Superstar? Whatever. My one hang up was the fact that we never got the translation of what Dom called Lilly… right? I’m not crazy. I swear. My second hang up was how many nicknames Noah and Dom had for Lilly. Like there was so many and it was constantly switching between them. I should have kept track of them. But it just irked me.
I did enjoy the side characters although we didn’t have much time with them. I think having more time with like Emily, her dad and the team would have really benefited the storyline.
There were some grammar, spacing and punctuation errors that got on my nerves a few times but it’s fine.
Would I reread this? No, probably not. Would I suggest this to a friend? Some of them. Will I carry on with the series? Yes! Do I need a trophy? No.
Closed door modifications: chapter 6, 8, 9, 10, 13, 15, 16, 18, 25 and 27.
⚠️ Here are my unhinged reading notes. Please proceed with caution as there may be spoilers. You have been warned. ⚠️
Boom. Crime. We know I love crime. Ten years later?? Just like that?? Who just picked her up?? 😬😬 I don’t trust Noah *says this at 9% while hiding a smile and blushing* “Eager little beaver stuff your muffin” 😂 I’m dead. Hi, it’s me again! I am back on my masked men shit 😇 Dmitri sounds hot and all he has done is glare at Noah. Let me guess that Dmitri is our stalker… 😇 remember when I didn’t trust Noah? Wait I’m confused is Dom and Dmitri the same person and why was this not explained better? Whatever, I just work here. Okay, she be talking like her and Noah had more than one date and make out session. Chill out girly, play it cool. They are at work?? With the door wide open?? Yikes girlypop I said play it cool. The grammatical errors of punctuation… *steam comes out of ears* oh there’s probably an emoji for that… “Standing in the doorway is a man in a mask.” No shit honey, you let some dude eat your box with the door open 💀😂💀😂 ps. I know this isn’t a laughing moment. Are we not going to talk about protection or if we’re clean first? We’re just rawdogging this shit?? Sorry, am I showing that I am in my thirties? *waves around sign that says “safe sex is hot sex” but like whatever* Ghost face really be switching nicknames on her constantly. Oh wow so surprising. Ew is this insta love? Omg. Color me surprised. Not though. Wow guys, this is not predictable at all. Wow.. it’s like so surprising that Dom and Dmitiri are the same person.. and her stalker.. woah color me surprised 🙄 Also she’s trying to hide from him but works for a PROFESSIONAL HOCKEY TEAM when he plays PROFESSIONAL HOCKEY… she changed her name so he couldn’t find her but only changed her last name??? Girlypop, you dumb as a doorknob. Dude, maybe I’m the psycho but like I doubt Dom/Dmitri did anything wrong… like we all love a criminal and can justify murder. DOES NO ONE CARE ABOUT PROTECTION THESE DAYS??? This dude admitted to fucking the gals, the gays and the groups and he’s just submerging rawdog without saying nothing? Maybe I’m showing my age. Good thing is tomorrow is Sunday so it’s going to be really easy to find a church in session to burn in tomorrow morning. @ 67% is this just happening in front of Emily and out in the middle of their work?? I don’t think I like this whole the boys sneaking around behind Lilliana’s back thing. Yah know?? This is depraved. Spice at chapter I don’t fucking know but I need Jesus. Spice at chapter 27… it’s actually chapter 27. And I still need Jesus. I don’t like the terminology cock whore but let’s be honest, I’m just trying to survive right now. Reading this on a Sunday morning with a cup of green tea makes me realize two things… I believe I need something stronger than green tea and I am missing the Sunday service I needed to attend to burn myself in. Anyways, I will just continue to be a heathen then. Are they just making romantic confessions in the locker room? Omg. Sunshine and rainbows… go play fucking hockey. Ew. That was corny. I have rolled my eyes so hard they are now on my carpet collecting carpet fur. This relationship is a HR nightmare. I just spit. Is this really ending with a ten years ago Dom chapter and no epilogue??? I’m done here. At least this MMC just admitted he has an average sized dick. We love an honest king. We do love feminine rage though. Wasn’t this supposed to have knife play? One nick to the chest and cutting straps to a dress ain’t knife play. Well, that was a ride. This felt like a Walmart knock off of the Pucking Coaches Daughter and the Hockey Gods series. I said what I said.
So I got an ARC of this book and I don’t know if I got a different copy than anyone else but I had emailed the author/PA about things and never heard back… The premise of the book is amazing but their where just so many inconsistent details and then multiple chapters had sections repeated (hopefully this was just an ARC copy problem though)
in chapter 2 it says she’s far away from that place (assuming it’s her home growing up) after waking up from a nightmare, it literally says she moved away, but then in chapter 24 & 25 she’s apparently back in woods where the stuff with Peter happened? But yet I thought she moved away from home? And then her parents have a box at the arena (at least I’m assuming it’s at the arena because why would it be mentioned if they don’t have a box at the arena the game is being played in chapter 29) but that’s not their team her dad is a King’s fan so why would they have a box at the arena Lilly works at which is where I’m assuming the game was played since she was able to get through the tunnel and onto the ice when they won
I’d give this book 10 stars if I could! When I was at the 80% mark, I had already texted multiple people telling them to read it when it comes out. The combination of tropes is just perfect. Dark hockey romance, masked stalker, why choose, touch her and 💀, MFM, MMF, bi-awakening. I LOVED the combination of dark and hockey romance (I’m sure there’s other books like that, but none that I’ve read) and I loved all three main characters. I cared about the characters and was routing for their happy ending. There was also some suspense which made me really want to keep reading. Or maybe it was the smut…Lo Gold writes the BEST spicy scenes. Basically, I loved everything about this and everyone should read this book (it’s a quick read!), especially if you like hockey romance or dark romance. I didn’t think this was SUPER dark (still recommend reading the trigger warnings), so even if you’re not a fan of dark romance, add this to your TBR!
I sat in my walk in freezer while reading this…..I have a walk in freezer in my house and the spice was spicing and the heat was heating so I finished this book in my freezer…let that sink in…
Lo…I’m gonna need you front and center. Firstly…I absolutely ADORE YOU. There is literally no one sweeter than Lo Gold…also…it takes a special breed of person to write red flagged , unhinged, obsessive men that make me go feral…and Lo definitely is that type of person.
I was hooked on this story immediately. Lilly is our FMC…she’s sweet but definitely guarded. She’s got walls built up around herself and cautiously living her life after escaping a dark past which she keeps secret. She’s working for the Southern Storm Hockey team and finally feels like she’s in a place where she can give into a relationship with the sweet, ultimate golden retriever hockey player, Noah.
Noah is one of our MMC’s. He’s loyal, sweet, and has been obsessed with Lilly for the last two years. And he’s over the moon when she finally gives him a chance. But the happiness doesn’t last long, because Lilly’s dark past comes barrelling towards them in the form of a new hockey player.
Dom is our last MMC, and he’s the complete opposite of Noah. He’s Lilly’s ex from high school. Mask wearing, unhinged, feral, obsessive and he’s coming to claim what’s his…and that’s Lilly. But when he finally sees Lilly and meets Noah, the dynamics change. He doesn’t want just her, but him too. And let me tell you…it’s as hot as it sounds 🥵🥵🥵
This story is full of the spiciest MM/MF/MFM/MMF spice I’ve ever read. Hence why I was in the freezer. I’m not ashamed to say I was clenching my thighs and squealing while reading them. I need a Dom and Noah in my life ASAP!
There’s a lot of darkness that surrounds Lilly and eventually comes to light. Lilly craves the light that Noah gives her and the darkness that Dom pulls her into. Separately I don’t see them working…but together they are perfect and exactly what they each need.
This is my formal request to Lo Gold…please give us more. I need more of this trio. I need to know more about what happens to them…how they get on with their relationships…I just need MORE! PLEASE ! K…love you bye 🙃🩵
Thank you so much to Lo Gold for the literally mind blowing opportunity to ARC read this book and be part of your team 🩵

Did I devour this book in one sitting? Yes, I did! Am I kinda obsessed with Dmitri now? Yes, yes I am!
I love me a dark hockey romance, so I was hooked from the first page. The relationship between Lilliana, Noah and Dmitri was *chefs kiss*. I totally recommend this book and hope there’s more to come!
Some tropes • Touch her and ☠️ • Second chance • Why choose • Bi awakening
Oh man, this book! I’m so excited for the rest of this series! If it continues anything like Lilly, Noah, and Dimitri’s story, it’s going to be amazing!
Noah is the golden retriever of book boyfriends. He's been patiently waiting for his chance with Lilly, and now it’s finally here.
Dimitri staked his claim on Lilly back in high school, and now he’s back to remind her who she really belongs to.
Lilly’s been doing her best to move on from Dimitri, shutting everyone out to protect herself, but now that he’s returned, he’s got plans...big plans. Does he want to take out Noah or TAKE OUT Noah??
The dual timelines were brilliantly done allowing the reader to unfold just enough of the past at a time to keep me hooked and second-guessing everything about Lilly and Dimitri’s history.
Huge thanks to Lo for the ARC and for the sleep deprivation. I couldn’t put this down, not even for a much-needed cold shower. 🔥
There’s only one thing I love as much as a good hockey romance… and that’s Ghostface + an obsessive psycho. So the fact that this book gave me both?? I’m fully feral 😈
LO seriously won with this one. I laughed, I screamed, I melted—then immediately went back to reread Dmitri’s filthiest lines (his mouth is criminal 🤤). Noah completely stole my heart with his cinnamon roll energy, Lilliana is officially one of my fave FMCs, and now I’m emotionally unavailable for the next 6 months.
🏒 Why choose 🏒 Bi awakening 🏒 MFM/MMF poly 🏒 Masked stalker 🏒 Second chance 🏒 Primal, possessive obsession 🏒 Enemies to lovers 🏒 Mental health rep 🏒 Voyeurism 🏒 Cinnamon roll + psycho pairing 🏒 Touch her/him and die
The spice? Oh babe, the spice was SPICING.
Fav quote: “You’re mine, Moy Klubnika. I’ve seen your darkness, and it only made me want you more. You’re mine to protect.”
Lo Gold never disappoints I love hockey in everything I mean it plus who doesn't love a book that truly so good it gives you a escape into a story that has you in chokehold cause Dom Volkkon, Noah Kolgrim & Lilliana Pettersen is the trio why choose I would die happily for.
I related to Lilly so much in different ways . Noah is perfection. idc what anyone says he is just perfect .
I am Charlotte Pettersen is on my death note list ,I stand by that. I got emotional af cause the racist things she said to Dom .
Emily is the greatest thing to bless Lilly life thats her ride or die bestie . I can honestly say Emily ,Noah, and Dom are the best characters the way they protect and love Lilly ,isn't what we all want in life . I love them so much .
im a hockey girl. I loved the details,the aesthetic of it all. This book was amazing and will give you an escape if you need it and just never want to leave Noah ,Dom & Lilly
I need a bucket of ice water dumped on me after that one 😮💨😮💨
Hockey, mmf why choose, bi awakening, dark backstory, what else could you need🤩
I am as obsessed with this book as Dmitri and Noah are obsessed with Lilly. Noah is such a lovable and adorable man. He is a hot as hell hockey player and an absolute golden retriever of a man when it comes to caring for Lilly. He’s been obsessed for over 2 years and finally has a chance.
Dmitri has been obsessed for over a decade and finally gets his chance to show Lilly that she never stopped being his. Now he has Noah in his sights too, but is it to get Noah out of the way or bring him closer?
Lo Gold did an amazing job with this why choose, dark hockey romance and I am so grateful to have read an early copy. This is an ARC review but all opinions are my own
I loved this book so much! I was very salty with Noah and Liliana a few times when it involved Dmitri but I let it slide because reading the differences and seeing how things was growing and changing in personal life’s V.S their profession was great. I was not a fan of Dmitri but I grew to love him about 2 chapters or so after he showed up lol.
Liliana has been running from her past for 10 years. Scared of the monster lurking over her shoulder and the demons of her past. She’s driven and worked hard to prove herself as a sports psychologist in a male dominated field.
Noah, a rookie defenseman, has been obsessed with Liliana since he joined the Southern Storm team. He’s determined to make her see how good they could be together. When there is an incident at work Noah is ready to swoop in to save the day.
But Lilly’s past is about to come back and haunt them both. Dmitri Volkkon is coming back to claim what is his, but he might just get more than he expected with Lilly and Noah.
I enjoyed this dark why choose hockey romance. If you like dark backstories, obsessive mmc’s and bi awakening you will eat this up. I certainly did.
Noah is such a cinnamon roll mmc. He was light and sweet. Dmitri is a hunter, who is fiercely protective of what’s his. He was darkness and intensity. Lilly is one lucky girl. But she’s also strong, independent and not afraid to stand up for herself.
I loved the dual timeline and the pacing of the story. LO did a great job of keeping you wanting more and waiting to see what happened next.
If you are looking for a fun smutty hockey romance with why choose and underlying suspense I highly recommend this book.
Thank you to LO Gold for the opportunity to receive an arc of this book. I can’t wait to see what comes next!
two hockey players and a ghost face mask? what else could a girl need.
ugh Dimitri and Noah were opposites yet both had a pure obsession for our girl lilly!!
Noah is such a golden retriever that just wants to do well and make the girl he’d been crushing on for years fall for him. Dimitri? sneaks into your room with his ghost face mask. and I loved them both. they were the perfect balance for each other. Lilly we can switch places girrrrl
I loved the time jumps through out the book and how LO gives us insight into dom and lilly’s high school relationship. it makes the connection with them so much deeper.
Dimitri and that dirty mouth of his would have me folding just as easy as Noah!!!
I loved how Lilly always puts herself and needs first, but when it comes to her boys she is not playing.
I don’t read a lot of sports romances just because I am the opposite of a sports girl and have a hard time getting in to them, but but that was not the case here. these hockey boys had me day dreaming, the tension on the ice was SO good. describing the stretching and I could see it happening in my head heheh
to say I was hot and bothered this entire book is almost an understatement. one thing about LO is she knows hot to write a smut scene 🥵
I received an ARC of “Their Obsession” for an honest review.
Tropes include: Mystery Past trauma Touch them & 💀 MFM/ MMF Bi-awakening Stalker Masked man Hockey players Soft for her Enemies to lovers Second chance Healing
Not everything is as it seems.
This story follows Lily through a past trauma she experienced in high school, how she ran away trying to escape and who she met along the way.
Not only is the writing top tier! I just loved reading the dynamics between Lily & Noah and Noah & Dom and the evolution that is Lily & Dom! The character development for each character and how we meet a different version of Lily in every stage if her life… the timid, awkward teenager, the paranoid and cautious professional and the strong, healed and confident woman.
My perception of what happened in the past, who everyone was to each other completely shifted, and the twists were welcomed!
Dom! An overprotective stalker that is out for blood? Urgh! The power dynamics, the spicy scenes! The way he is soft for them!
Noah is such a golden retriever but don’t go after his people! He can be vicious too! Loved how Lily really came into herself!
“Fuck, Sunshine, you’re everything. I don’t just want you, i need you. I don’t like you, I’m obsessed with you. And you can run from me, you can fight me, you can push me away. But just know - if you run from me, i will run after you. Every time you fight us, i will fight for us. And when you push me away, i will always pull you back.”
🥵😮💨🤩 My first hockey romance and let me TELL YOU 🤌🏻 I ate it up! I binged it in one sitting. Lo Gold always amazes me with her writing & this one was just as amazing as I’d hoped.
Lilliana (aka Lilly) is running from her past so hard that she can’t even see what’s right in front of her.. and that’s Noah. One of the hockey players on the team she works for and he’s been obsessed and pining over her for years. When fate occurs and he finally gets to shoot his shot, he doesn’t miss.. but Lilly is reserved.. but why? She’s afraid that her past will catch up to her like it always does & that it could jeopardize everything she has with Noah.. so, if her past catches up to her - can she outrun it? Or will she give in? And if she does, what does that mean for her & Noah? 👀
LO, you never cease to amaze me! 🔥 Their Obsession is fast paced, dark, intense, and hot as hell!
The main trio, Lilly, Noah, and Dom are something else. I love their connection, and the tension of their relationship. Noah is our neighborhood golden boy, he's so sweet. 🥹 Dom is dark and domineering, he's always been obsessed with Lilly, and when he meets Noah, he's drawn to him as well. His possession knows no bounds with these two. 🤌🏼 And Lilly, girl went through some bullying 10 years ago, but she's no weak woman, and I absolutely adore her character and how strong she is! 💛
I can't begin to describe how intense the hockey games were to read in this book! You can really tell the attention to detail that went in to understanding game play and it paid off in strides for me! 🔥
Another jaw dropping ending from the Queen of cliffhangers! I cannot wait to see what comes next! Seriously, that ending had me on the edge of my seat!
I am SO happy with how this book turned out! I’m so happy Lo stayed with her style of writing but brought it into the hockey romance world and it was everything I was hoping for!
We get not only 2 hot hockey men but also a mask, the woods, and boyfriends who become boyfriends. Like what more could you ask for?! 😂
Yes the spice was fantastic (and I absolutely slid into her DMs to tell her all that I loved) but the story line was amazing and suspenseful. The timing of everything kept us on our toes wondering what all actually went down. The chemistry between the MCs was amazing and I loved that we got everyone’s view point because we get to be in their psyche and understand their truths and emotions.
I devoured this in a day and am so ready for more. This has become my favorite from Lo so far!
Besties we have a review coming in HOTTTTT 🔥🔥🔥 for you!!! Their Obsession by author lo gold was a spicy good time!! This was a why choose hockey romance HEAVYYYYYY on the spice, if you love your books with the heat on high this one is for you!! Our MMCs are a dark tattooed stalker and a golden retriever sweetheart!!! It’s also a stalker romance and besties read those trigger warnings because it does tackle some difficult topics!! One of our MMCs is obsessed with our FMC Lily and stalkers her with one OF HER FAVORITE SCARY MOVIES 🥵. There is also LGBTQIA+ representation in this short spicy good time and we love that🏳️🌈. As both of us are apart of the LGBTQIA+ community we love seeing that representation in the books we read too!!! I am sad that I finished it already because I was having a hell of a time reading. As someone who enjoys hockey romances, dark stalker romances this was right up my alley!!! I give it a 4🌟 and 4🌶️ scale!!! It also had me laughing out loud as well in a couple of parts!!! This was one of my first reads by Lo Gold and I will absolutely be checking out more!!! And guess what besties????? IT COMES OUT TOMORROW!!!!!! Go go go read it!!! We hope you enjoy it!!! Do you want to see someone of my favorite quotes below??? ❌SPOILERS BELOW❌
🔪 “To those who have ever watched a hockey game and thought to themselves - one would be nice, but two would be better.”
🔪”Respectfully, what the fuck was Charles Dickens smoking?”
🔪”I can not wait to get to college where I can choose classes that actually interest me instead of being stuck reading the same ancient crap that has been taught in schools for the last century.”
🩵 "We had a mutual friend who needed our help. Sometimes being there for those you care about is more important than getting a win for yourself,"
Tropes: 🏒 Ice Hockey 👻 Masked stalker MMC 👀 Bi-Awakening ☀️ Golden retriever MMC 🌶️ MMF/MFM/MM/MF
Masked stalker, hockey and why choose like what more could you want? This was a short read filled with a descent amount of plot and spice that I ate up.
I liked the dual timeline and how we got to see pieces of the story fit together. I didn’t expect a shock reveal from Lilly’s mother! Like as if she did my babe Dom wrong like that 🥲🥲
Loved the Bi awakening and god those threesome scenes were so hot. Even those MM scenes 🫦🫦🫦
I did feel like their relationship was rushed and things felt unfinished. Like what did everyone think about them all being together. Would Lilly get in trouble since she works for the team? So many questions!
Overall it was an enjoyable read! Would recommend to anyone wanting a short spicy fix 👅
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
This book was the perfect combination of sweet, spicy, twisty, unhinged, and hot-damn moments. The obsession I expected wasn't quite the obsession I was expecting.
Dirty talking golden retriever, Noah, is obsessed with Lilly. Lilly has a past she has run from and doesn't want to talk about. Dmitri is an opposing player, who may hold the key to Lilly's past.
I don't want to give away too much because the twists and turns are what really made this story. I did feel that an extended epilogue scene was missing. There was lead up with a bet being made, but we didn't get to enjoy the payout. Still a great, fun read!!
First and foremost, please read the triggers before reading this book, take care of your mental health.
Now on to the review! 😈
—————————————————————————————
This book had me giggling and kicking my feet from page one.. 🤭
If you know me, I love a masked man.. and this series is all I need. And please a why choose!? Who wouldn’t love that! One thing about me is if L.O Gold writes it, I’m gonna eat that shit up!
I am so in love with Dom, which is not a surprise if you know me. It was a huge shock to love Noah for me! While this was my first sports romance, I will not be stopping. This was such a fantastic slide into the dark sports romance for me!
If you are on the hunt for your next dark romance, this is definitely one to pick up! And if you are a hockey lover, just get it! You will read it as fast as I did!
5 ⭐️’s , I loved reading from each perspective and getting the flash backs, it really helped the story stay cohesive and kept me in the book! I loved this.
Overall a great read and so honored to be apart of the ARC for this! Huge honor to be on L.O. Golds team, while I did receive this ARC for free, all opinions and ratings are my own! The writing speaks for itself.
All I have to say is I didn’t know how much I liked hockey and 2 men at the same time until now. IYKYK..🥵
When I first saw the tropes for this book I knew I instantly was interested in reading it. Cmon everyone on here knows im a WHY CHOOSE girlie, but this book. *exhales long with hands on hips* THIS BOOK RIGHT HERE!
Ate it up in a few hours LITERALLY! It was addictive and I wanted to know what would happen next. Throughout the entire book to the very end you see flashbacks to the FMC and her ex-bf MMC past that pieces everything together about their dark twisted love for one another. The new-bf MMC though (who I love to death. We all deserve a Noah) added this refreshing safety for our MMC. Despite the jealousy, hate fucking, and BI-AWAKENING (HAWT HAWT HAWT) the three find some way to make it work. *wink wink nudge nudge*
The plot twist had my jaw drop, the storyline had me engaged and the smut... well lemme just say I need a new pair of panties because this will have you DRIPPING 😏
I literally couldn't put this book down, so I read it in one sitting! Lilly is one Lucky woman.

Noah is our sunshine, who loves his Sunshine deeply. Sweet, charming, and ungodly hot. This hockey player desperately wants his girl
Dimitri (Dom) is our hot as Sin ex-boyfriend who's been stalking Lilly over the past decade. In the process of finally getting his little killer back, he also gets our pretty boy as well.
Be ready for some Sword crossing, hockey heat, amazing spice, and a plot so good it keeps you guessing
Probably my favorite by Lo yet, this book has it all: dark romance stalking and obsession, professional sports league setting, murder, yearning, why choose MMF dynamics, and finally getting the girl of his dreams (x2). I knew there was a twist coming but didn’t see what it was until I was slapped upside the face with it. I loved seeing Dom warm up and realize what their dynamic needed was Noah’s sunshine to balance their darkness, and Noah stepped up to the challenge. I hope we get more Southern Storm stories in the future.
Her newest release, Their Obsession, is definitely 10/10, everybody and their brother needs to read this!!!
Lo writes super Spicy scenes and Their Obsession did not disappoint. MMF Dark Hockey Romance....yes please!!!
Dom, Noah and Lilly!! These three MCs are hot, hot hottt!! Dom's darkness, Noah's light, and Lilly's bratty submissiveness, all blend together to create the perfect storm.
I can't believe Lo left the book how she did though .... reallyyyy you're gonna do that to us?! I was really, really looking forward to that scene, but I guess I'll have to impatiently wait for Book 2.
Absolutely loved this book, Don’t let the progress of reading fool you I just had a lot going on to where I couldn’t read for a while but I really started reading it about 2 days ago and just could not put it down, (I fell asleep with my kindle lol) The story line, the spicy scenes, everything was perfect and the twist at the end was not something I expected. 10/10 and I cannot wait for more of this series to release.
