Savage Obsession

Savage Sins #2

by Kate Oliver

Xander

I’m drowning in grief, anger, and whiskey. Haunted by my father’s murder and what could have been. No matter what I do, my demons never stop pulling me under. Then I meet Quinn Summers, a beautiful ray of sweet sunshine. Her innocence ignites an obsession I can’t control.

She’s everything I should stay away from. The last thing I want is to tarnish one of the only good things left in this world. But the more I fight it, the more she becomes my reason to breathe… my reason to live.

Quinn

I’m barely keeping my head above water while living a not-so-glamorous life in the city of sin. Three jobs. An apartment with no furniture. A mother in a recovery center I can’t afford. At least I’m free, and safe, and in control. Sort of.

Then Xander Savage walks into my life–older, broken, and obsessed. He makes me feel protected in ways I’ve never experienced. I see him struggling, though, and I’m terrified that the darkness he’s fighting might be the one thing that will end us before we even get to begin.

Unhinged SAD Daddy treats his obsession like a DIRTY PRINCESS! 🖤✨ Emotionally packed dark romance with grumpy x sunshine vibes & impeccable protective Daddy kink!

✨🖤 🎰🥃🎰 🖤✨

Daddy Xander is hot, rich & has massive big D energy. But he’s not in a good place, struggling with grief, depression and alcoholism. HE FALLS INSTANTLY for his sunshine neighbour but can’t never imagine deserving her 🖤🥃 Quinn desperately needs a fierce protector in her life and Xander is unhinged enough to fill the vacancy. He is obsessed & OTT but she craves it!

“She needs me, though. A protector. Someone to look after her. Make sure she’s happy, healthy, and safe. A Daddy.”

I.AM.OBSESSED. This relationship was marked by fierce protection & pampering but absolute Daddy FILTH in the bedroom. Xander wanted to fix everything wrong in her world “let Daddy take care of everything” ✨ intensely sweet vibes BUT full of forbidden desire because he is older, grumpy & deadly!

🎰 he breaks into her apartment & watches her sleep

🎰 SPANKINGs of a life time

🎰 when he tortures her attacker by CARVING THEIR INITIALS into his chest WITH A HEART AROUND IT *how rOmAntIc*

🎰 massive protective Daddy vibes with

“That’s right, baby girl. Pray for us. Tell God how fucking perfect you are for me. How you were made for me. Tell God that you’re mine now. Then, start praying to me, sunshine. Tell Daddy everything you want and I’ll make it all come true.”

This was such an incredible story highlighting mental health issues that are so rarely represented in MMCs. Xander was the ultimate SAD DADDY that would do everything for his girl even if that means destroying himself in the process 💔 Get THIS MAN A SHRINK! No, but for real I was rooting for this man like so hard………how can you fault the guy who just wanted to be a dad!!!!!!!

Xander Savage has been struggling. First it was a callous betrayal by his ex and then losing his father in a brutal and public manner.

Despite the cards she’s been dealt, Quinn Summers still has a kind and sunny demeanor.

Following a chance meeting, Xander begins seeing Quinn everywhere, effectively destroying any hope of forgetting her.

Xander was not at all what I expected. I guess I thought (hoped) all the Savage brothers would be unhinged like Cash. Those are the MMC’s I live for and, if I’m being completely honest, I was a smidge disappointed.

Quote: “… give me your trauma, hand me your insecurities, and let me in, baby.”

Book two in this dark romance DDlg series and WOW. Kate said “let me outdo myself real quick,” and she absolutely did. Xander and Quinn’s chemistry was off-the-charts delicious — like can’t-stop-reading, need-a-glass-of-water levels of good. And the smut? Straight-up FIRE. Alarms. Sirens. Sprinklers. 🔥

Quinn has officially claimed the title of my favorite little from any of Kate’s books. Her sass? Top tier. Her heart? Huge. Her loyalty? Unmatched. She’s the kind of character you root for with your whole chest.

And Xander… tall, tattooed, possessive Daddy energy? Say less. He was perfection wrapped in ink and attitude.

I absolutely adored the way this book highlighted mental health — real struggles, real emotions, and handled with so much care. It added so much depth to the characters and to the story.

This book was just so fun, so spicy, and so easy to devour. I loved every second.

Oh I haaaated this! Congrats to Xander who got his replacement Nicola☺️
bc why are you more upset about an ex girlfriend from more than a year ago rather than your beloved father who was killed just three months ago…? You didn’t love her but you were obsessed with her and controlling with her, and self destructed because of her…🙃 also the daddy kink seemed very out of place here, it didn’t feel authentic

[Ash · Rating 5 out of 5]

*Thank you Kate Oliver for this arc*
I have been waiting for Xander’s story and it did not disappoint. Xander truly is a heartbroken cinnamon roll who has a hard time dealing with his trauma. Like my heart truly broke for him. But when he finally got to be with Quinn it was like he was starting to feel alive. While Quinn my beautiful darling has been through hell but still remains a ball of sunshine🥺. I truly love her personality and how she always made others feel safe around her. Also lemme get into their smit scenes because it was sexy I enjoyed the daddy kink idk🤭.I am truly happy they were able to get their happy ending and I can’t wait for the rest of the brothers’ books!

P.S I ADOREEE THE FOUND FAMILY LIKE QUINN AND JORDAN BEING BESTIES MELTS MY HEART🥹

[✨Crystal✨ · Rating 4 out of 5]

Savage Obsession was a deeper story than I was expecting. It touches on addiction and loss, but still keeps the humor and witty banter that made me love the first book 😁 Xander Savage was betrayed by his ex, and then had to deal with the murder if his father writhing the same year. He’s in a dark place and his brothers are really starting to worry about him. A piece of mail was accidentally delivered to his apartment instead of an apartment on the 4th floor, so he decides to deliver it to the right recipient and discovers the most beautiful curvy women he’s ever laid eyes on! Quinn hasn’t had the best life, but she has a heart of gold and has worked hard for everything she has. She keeps having a hard time financially because of unfortunate things that keep happening to her, but she still tries to be independent and face her problems head on. Xander becomes obsessed with this doe eyed angel he’s discovered, and decides to do everything he can to help with her problems and take care of her 🥰

I’m a sucker for the poor struggling girl trope, and this one was a good one! What I liked about Quinn though is that she was independent and didn’t ask for help, and she appreciated every little bit she had. Xander went out of his way to find out everything he could about her so he could take care of all of her problems 🥰 He found his light to steer him out of his darkness, and she found someone to take care of her when all she’s done is take care of others. I love the Savage brothers and their willingness to help others in need 😍

The audiobook was duet narrated by Raven Wildewood and Robert Hatchet who were both perfect for their characters. This series has heart along with spice and some daddy kink thrown into the mix, and these Savage brothers are obsessively in love with their ladies ❤️

WOOOWEE THIS BOOK. I thought I loved Cash Savage but Xander - woof. The man's face is next to obsessive in the dictionary. I was also so so happy to see Cash + Jordyn in this book and I loved the friendship between Jordyn and Quinn. It felt so real and I loved seeing Quinn get all the support from her found family!

I really liked the way Xander’s healing process unfolded, and it really helped solidify his character for me. We love consistent men!

I read this book in 1 day - it was fun, spicy, and just the right amount of unhinged (a lot). I loved it and can't wait for the other Savage brothers' books!

Thank you to Kate Oliver and The Smuthood for the eARC.

[Hailey Goshert · Rating 4 out of 5]

3.75⭐️ 2.5🌶️ please dear god if you know me in real life (1) do not look further into this book and (2) get out of my goodreads hahaha

okay anywayyyy... so i actually like this a lot more than book 1! the "daddy" kink still isn't my favorite thing, although clearly i don't mind reading about it that much lol. but i do find it pretty unrealistic that the entire Savage family shares the same specific kink. whatever, i guess reading these kinds of books does force you to suspend your disbelief anyway.

with that out of the way, let me just say that this was way more emotional than i was expecting (in a good way). Quinn dealt with SO much in this book, but it didn't take away from her sunshine demeanor. she wasn't naive or stupid, just determined to still be a positive and happy person despite everything that had been thrown at her throughout her life. i was so proud of her standing up for herself in the end, which ultimately pushed Xander to heal and become the man he needed to be in order to keep her. speak of the devil, Xander was also surprisingly soft underneath his very gruff exterior. he also has been through quite a bit of shit before ever even meeting Quinn. this story and the grief and struggles both MC's had to work through was raw in a way that endeared them to me from the start.

this one was nowhere near as mafia-heavy as the first book, but still filled with plenty of things to keep the plot interesting and fast paced without seeming too unbelievable.

💔💔💔💔😩
Kate just delivered another Daddy, the Savage clan are a hot bunch phew

Xander and Quinn are a match made in heaven. they both went through some rough times.

Quinn is a ray of sunshine, working 3 jobs, paying her mom's outstanding bills and struggling to even afforded a decent meal, all that with a smile.
Xander dealing with his own demons, heart broken from being scammed by a gold digger. add to that his dad was murdered not too long ago, so he turned to alcohol to find solace.

When they meet, Xander can't help but fall for Quinn. he obsess over her, now his main plan is to make sure she is taking care of.

Quinn with her outgoing personality, and her line of work ( she is a bartender at the Savage entertainments ) she attract all kind of evil men. But don't you worry my Man Xander Savage will make sure they are all 6ft under lol

This was a raw story, real daily struggles, the way real people deal with grieve, with abandonment, the weight of what society except of a parent child relationship.

I loved this story so much, a HUGE THANK YOU to Kate and Smuthood PR for this ARC.

Book 2 in the savage sins series and it was pure delish😍

Kate said let me out do myself from book one and she absolutely did! I loved this story and her writing. Xander and Quinn’s chemistry was delicious and the spice was spicingggggg🔥🔥

Xander is grief stricken and drowning in darkness when he meets Quinn, a struggling woman working three jobs and who’s been through a lot of trauma. There intense attraction leads to an obsessive romance. Xander is tall, tattooed, possessive, and gives daddy energy. He was lit perfection wrapped up in ink. Quinn is now one of my top FMC’s, her sass, heart and loyalty is unmatched. I loved the way he loved and took care of her.

I loved how Kate highlighted mental health, trauma, and real struggles. It just added so much depth to these characters. I love the found family and how Quinn and Jordan instantly became besties💜 Loved this book! 5⭐️Can’t wait for the next brother!

This one was different than the rest of Kate’s Daddy Dom books, but still so freaking beautiful. This one hit me hard with the combination of both Xander and Quinn’s traumatic pasts. It took so much for these two to finally come together and they continued to fight it throughout the entire book. This one was not a fast paced I’m your Daddy and your my babygirl this was I want to but I’m too traumatized to let myself fully give into you and it made it so much better. I cried so hard for these two throughout the entire book because neither on of them deserved the disgusting crap they went through, but could not move past. I feel like this book will hold the most beautiful place in my heart as neither Xander nor Quinn would have found each other and the safety they found together if they did not have the beginnings they did. Their chemistry was absolutely burning and once they gave into it, it made for the sexy spicy scenes ever!!! I loved this one and I feel like this is one I will definitely pick up again specifically because it shows you can find happiness even when you’re not looking after going through a traumatic experience!!

[Keza Campbell · Rating 5 out of 5]

Xander is broken, he lives his life surviving on booze. He is haunted by his ex and his father's murder.

Then he meets Quinn.

Quinn is barely getting by on three jobs and noodles.

Then she meets Xander, and becomes his greatest obsession.

I freaking loved this book. Xander was obsessive, protective and possessive but who cares when he makes Quinn his whole world.

I definitely recommend 👌🏻

[Madison · Rating 5 out of 5]

Devoured it. Obsessed with it. Want to read it again.
The perfect storyline that was unexpectedly emotional 🥹.

I went into this thinking it was smutty daddy kink and it was, but it was also a journey of healing for both characters. Xander and Quinn just had so much love for each other and they slotted together like two puzzle pieces.

Thank you to Kate and the Smuthood PR for the ARC.

[Cocolici · Rating 5 out of 5]

I devoured this book in one sitting, ONE 😭📚 And somewhere between chapter one and Xander losing his mind over Quinn, I gained a brand-new Daddy. Xander Savage… ohmahfuckinggawd 😮‍💨🔥 The man is a walking bundle of red flags, trauma, obsession, and violence and I still fell headfirst in love.

The way he cares for Quinn? So damn sweet 🥺 and then immediately feral. He takes “touch her and ☠️” literally and I couldn’t get enough 😭🔥.

Quinn brings out this soft, desperate side of him, the broken, rage-filled man suddenly breathing because of his sunshine girl ☀️🖤 Their connection is messy, intense, and addictive. I couldn’t stop reading.

⭐️ 3/5
📅 November 25, 2025

❤️ Age Gap
❤️ Sunshine x Grumpy
❤️ Alcoholism & Addiction Themes
❤️ Protective MMC
❤️ Found Family / Brothers’ Dynamic
❤️ Slight Obsession Vibes

Savage Obsession really throws you into the deep end from page one. Poor Xander, the man is already talking about putting a bullet in his head, drowning in whiskey, and making every possible bad decision (including the giant “absolutely not” of drinking and driving). I knew immediately he was going to be a lot.

Quinn, meanwhile, is out here talking to her cactus, juggling three jobs, and trying to take care of her mom in recovery. She’s soft and sweet but also tougher than she looks, and I loved her for that. And honestly? Some of her storyline hit way too close to home, especially the stuff with her mom. The guilt, the grief, the “why wasn’t I enough?” spiral… I felt all of that with her.

Their chemistry is chaotic in a way that somehow works. Quinn bossing Xander around had me smiling, and Xander immediately deciding to buy the bar she was fired from was hilarious in that over-the-top possessive romance way. And the brothers? Loved them. Cash telling Xander it felt like they were losing him too genuinely hurt. Trey and Jordyn were standouts, especially Jordyn refusing to let Xander drink and drive (THANK YOU).

The only downside for me is that some conversations between Quinn and Xander felt repetitive, like they kept circling the same emotional ground. And the ending with the ex came off a bit rushed, I wanted more fallout or tension there.

Still, for my first Kate Oliver book, I enjoyed it. The found family pieces were great, and Quinn’s growth, especially standing up to Xander about the drinking, made me root for her the whole way through. I’ll definitely go back and read Jordyn and Cash’s book next.

Savage Obsession by Kate Oliver

Format: Audiobook
Narrators: Raven Wildewood and Robert Hatchet

Non-Spoiler Audiobook Review:
So many YES’s for Xander and Quinn’s story. This book was perfect… and a wonderful addition to the series. Xander’s story was everything I thought it was going to be. It was intense, funny, over-the-top obsessive, spicy, and heavy on the daddy kink. Never to yuck anyone’s yum, the daddy vibe hasn’t quite hit me yet and makes me giggle… but I will be the first to admit, it fits Daddy Xander so well!!! Listening to the audio only elevated the entertainment factor as Raven Wildewood and Robert Hatchet NAILED IT! Their duet performance had me kicking my feet while blushing, swooning, and possibly squealing. I actually experienced secondhand embarrassment because GIRL, What. The. F***… and I was all for it.

Not going to lie, Xander had super Joe Goldberg vibes! He’s a Savage brother so that comes with certain personality traits, but he took it so much farther. Who buys the businesses of a chick (not girlfriend) just so to watch her on the cameras? Let’s not get into the literal ’Touch her and die,’ because damn dude, is it that serious?!… Xander was the Intense Daddy brother, while Quinn was an adorable ray of sunshine. I loved that Quinn wasn’t annoying, whiny, or dumb and always tried to find the positive in every situation while Xander was the dark cloud that had a heart (albeit dark) under all the grumpy exterior. They both experienced hurt and betrayal in their life, although they handled it much differently.

Savage Obsession is book two in the Savage Sins series, and I enjoyed every funny moment of it. There were lots of comical situations, daddy kinks, spice, an age gap, power dynamics, and even emotional moments. Raven and Robert had the best chemistry bringing the laughs, the love and those WTF moments, while creating character depth and growth for the emotional parts. I enjoyed seeing past characters from the previous book, getting a little more info on the other two brothers. I cannot wait to get my hands and ears on the next book.

Thank you, Blue Nose Audio, for the ALC.

*Received as an ARC*

Xander Savage is a businessman, powerful and rich and still bleeding from the wreckage of his past. His days are spent tearing down anyone who threatens his family and his nights drowning in whiskey and regret. When a misdelivered check lands at his door, he does the decent thing and takes it to its rightful owner. He doesn’t expect a curvy and gorgeous Quinn Summers to open the door, shining the first spark of light he’s seen in a long time.

Quinn is hustling to keep her bills paid and her mother cared for. After a brutal breakup her life is nothing but work and exhaustion. So, when her mysterious neighbor shows up with the check, she’s been desperate for she’s more than grateful. He’s magnetic and his presence impossible to ignore and though she knows better she can’t resist the pull. One kind gesture turns into dinner, marking the beginning of embers between them catching fire.

This Daddy Kink/Age Gap romance is pure indulgence. Xander is ruthless in the world and unflinching in his protection, but with Quinn he’s both punisher and worshipper. Discipline wrapped in devotion.

The Savage brothers live rent free in my head and I’m already counting down to the next book in the series.

[Katty · Rating 4 out of 5]

I genuinely enjoyed this book.
Xander and Quinn were truly adorable. The way that Quinn broke down the barriers that Xander put up and held him accountable towards the end was honestly, strong girl shit.
Xander was the perfect blend of unhinged and soft. The love he immediately felt for Quinn upon first meeting her was just feet kicking adorable.

I do feel as though there were continuity issues where things/timelines didn’t really add up or make sense. However, I am also dyslexic and I was speeding through the pages of this book because I just wanted to see Quinn get the daddy she deserved.

I also truly enjoyed the banter between the brothers. Getting extra glimpses into Jordyn and Cash’s continued relationship was also just a pleasant cherry on top.

Overall, I think Xander is my fav Savage (for now).

Thank you so much to The Smuthood for the opportunity to read Savage Obsession in advance to its November 25 release date.

This book, this story….its beautiful. It’s about healing and forgiveness. It’s about not giving up when times are at their hardest. Keeping family close.

Kate Oliver can’t write a bad book. I read everything she writes and I read them again and again and again. They’re my comfort reads. So when I get a new book to add to my rotation…instant joy.

This is Book 2 of her Savage Sins series and we have seen and met Xander a couple times by now. I believe we first meet him in her Syndicate Kings series. Ronan’s book. 🥵 I love that series so much. And then of course we meet him in Cash’s book, which is Book 1 of Savage Sins series. These 4 brothers recently lost their dad. Prior to that devastating loss, Xander experienced ultimate betrayal by his girlfriend at the time. His ex-girlfriend now. That broke something in him and he was not coping well and muting his pain and feelings with whiskey. Too much of it.

His life is instantly altered when he and Quinn have a meet-cute in their apartment building. He can’t stop thinking about her and can’t stay away. She quiets the storm raging in him. And she can’t stop thinking about the muscly, tattooed, grumpy, but so damn sexy man that randomly delivered mail he accidental received. He makes her feel safe for the first time. He ‘sees’ her and cares for her. Instant chemistry.

He saves her. She saves him. They have both experience trauma and loss in the past. They are helping to heal each other in ways they don’t understand. I laughed. I cried. I had to fan myself several times. 🥵🥵🥵 Seeing Quinn and Jordyn form that bond together- AH I LOVE IT.

Okay so another thing I LOVE about Kate’s books (I love so many things about her books tbh) is that we see little Easter eggs of her other series in the midst. Like Caspian from Dark Ops Daddies. I’m excited for his book. Oh and the little nod to the girls’ makeup line in the Syndicate Kings. Love it!!

Anyway. Enough rambling. Go read this book but I suggest reading Cash’s book first, Savage Revenge, for the best experience.

100000/100000 recommend.

[Shedevilreads Bookstagram · Rating 5 out of 5]

Savage Obsession by Kate Oliver is an age gap billionaire romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Raven Wildewood and Robert Hatchet. This is the second book in the Savage Sins series.

This is the second book of Kate's that I have read, and it won't be my last. I really enjoyed the chemistry between Xander and Quinn. I loved getting both of their points of views throughout the book. It really brought the story to life.

I can't wait for the next book in the series Savage Ties to be released on audio so I can get Kian and Ace's story.

Robert and Raven did an amazing job on the narration. They both really know how to bring a story to life. I look forward to listening to more of their work in the future.

I would recommend this book if you're looking for an age gap romance, billionaire romance, stalking romance, or a daddy kink romance.

Savage Obsession is the 2nd book in the Savage Sins series written by Kate Oliver. This one follows our MMC Xander Savage who is struggling pretty badly with the loss of his father & the betrayal of someone in his past when he fortunately meets the FMC Quinn, sunshiny, bubbly but also struggling to keep her head above water…

Robert Hatchet and Raven Wildewood absolutely delivered. Robert’s portrayal of Xander had so much depth he really nailed that broody, emotionally guarded edge while still letting the vulnerability peek through at the right moments. It made Xander feel raw and real in a way that pulled me in instantly. And Raven Wildewood? I hadn’t listened to her before, but she was the perfect Quinn. She captured that bright, bubbly personality while still grounding it with the character’s struggles, which made Quinn feel layered.
Together, their duet narration was honestly lethal. The chemistry translated so well through the audio and it didn’t feel like two people reading lines it was an incedible prefomance The pacing, the emotional delivery, the tension… everything hit perfectly.

Added this to the my tbr solely based off the daddy kink and I ate it up. Xander is a daddy in all forms and I loved him. He’s so possessive and obsessed with Quinn and I love that kind of energy in a MMC. Plus, Quinn is so sweet but not afraid to show a feisty side and I love that for her! The tension between these two is intense, but I also love how this book showcased the more vulnerable and emotional side, especially in regards to their mental health and past trauma.

What to expect:
-Billionaire
-Daddy
-Touch her and die
-Possessive/obsessed MMC
-Age gap
-Grumpy x sunshine

MF Age Gap Romance

Great read! Definitely not what I was expecting in the best ways!!
This book was a lot more emotional than I thought it be, both with pasts that haunt them and having a hard time moving on from those traumas. There was angst, banter, delicious spice and to top it off a great family.

If you like your book boyfriends protective, a bit unhinged and a total red flags then this book’s for you! But also if you’re looking for a couple that help each move past their traumas, in whatever way they decide(😉please see above 🚩) look no further!

No cheating, no OWD, not your typical third act break(up), with a HEA

* Age Gap—40 / 24
* Damaged & Tatted MMC

* Morally Gray MMC
* Boss / Employee
* Touch Her and ☠️

I'm totally swooning over here! I don't know what it is about the daddy energy Xander gives off, but I'm here for it!

I loved Quinn and how hard she was trying to make things work. She had such a big heart and I loved that Xander swooped in to give her what she needed! It was the perfect grumpy x sunshine story!

Xander's history tugged at my heart strings and I loved seeing him get closer to his family again. The closeness of the Savage brothers is one of my favorite things about the series and I can't wait for more!

[Kassie · Rating 4 out of 5]

I loved the storyline, plot, character development. The daddy kink wasn't too overbearing, I really liked that the MMC initiated and liked to be called 'daddy'. Our MMC, Xander was so swoon, he was dedicated and cared for Quinn. They both have trauma from their past but both work to overcome them. I loved that Quinn chose herself and knew her worth, and Xander doing anything just to keep her.

Chef’s kiss to everything about this book:
*Grumpy and slightly unhinged MMC who is only soft for her
*Curvy FMC who has past trauma but is still sunshine
*The perfect protector daddy dynamic
*Found family
*Facing addiction and trauma in a healthy way

Perfect for anyone who loves the Alliance and Black Resorts series and has been struggling to find something similar.

[Angela Andrea · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is book two in the Savage Sins series, and it was perfection.

Xander is dealing with the grief of losing his father and isn't handling it well. He's angry, he is working too much, and drinking too much. He's slowly pulling away from his brothers because the loss of his dad is really hard for him.

Quinn is single and working three jobs to help pay for her mother's care. Her mother always chose men and drugs over her growing up. Even though her mother was never there for her she feels responsible to provide for her group home care since she cannot live on her own due to the damage from the drugs.

When Xander and Quinn meet he realizes she needs someone to take care of her, but she's feisty and strong and stubborn. She won't be in a relationship with someone who has a substance problem. Together they navigate this difficult journey of grief, loneliness, and getting healthy.
