Possessive Billionaires, Precious Sweethearts #4
Craving the Obsession
“I’m busy. Solve your matters on your own.”
Every time James Sinclair said those words, the light in Mia’s eyes dimmed a little more.
For five years she was his wife. Sweet. Obedient. Devoted. He believed she wanted his money and status. That was why she married him at nineteen. Why she would never leave.
Until one day, a call came…
“Miss Mia Bennett, your parents died in a car crash. Please come to collect their bodies.”
Shattered, she reached out to her billionaire husband. His only reply was, “I’m busy. Solve your matters on your own.”
“Okay,” she whispered. That night, she handed him divorce papers and walked out of his life, leaving all his wealth behind.
She never wanted money. She wanted love. He gave her nothing—so she took nothing.
James thought she wouldn’t survive without him. That she would crawl back. Instead, she vanished.
And when he found her again… she was living in luxuries far beyond his reach.
For some reason, Alexander Graves, one of the most powerful, cunning, and possessive billionaires in the country, was madly devoted to his ex-wife.
Now James is unraveling. Jealousy burns him alive.
But didn’t he already get exactly what he wanted?
Emotional neglect and angstJealous ex-husbandPossessive billionaire rivalA powerful man devoted only to herFrom international bestselling author Ava Selwyn comes a devastating billionaire romance of a wife who walks away, a divorce he never expected, and regret that comes far too late—perfect for fans of Ana Huang, Rina Kent, and L.J.

THIS BOOK IS WRITTEN BY AI! It has to be. No human could write something this bad.
This is in the Top five worst books I've ever read. There's zero
consistency. The storyline and characters are juvenile. The punctuation is atrocious.
And it's a damn shame because the tiktok ads and the blurb looked so good. 😭
The FMC and her husband had an arranged marriage lasting five years. She gave it her all, hoping they'd fall in love. The entire time he resented her, never saw all the things she did for him and thought she was stupid. He banned her from his office building and even demanded if she brought anything there it was to be thrown out.
She finally got fed up and left him taking only a suitcase of clothes and having nowhere to go. She left him with divorce papers.
Their marriage had never been consumated and they had separate rooms.
After leaving she's mugged, her suitcase stolen. It's snowing. She's wearing sandals! She's been wearing different sandals three days in a row!
She's found by a homeless woman who uses the FMCs phone to call the husband and ask him to send her money so she can call an ambulance??? In what world don't you call for emergency services and worry about the $ later? 🙄
The husband refuses so the homeless woman gives up.
The FMC is then found by a billionaire who has been obsessed with her for years, he takes her to his home, proposes and she accepts. She only left her husband the day before. 🙄
He gives her a gold card, tells her he wants her to go to the mall he owns and buy at least 50 items EVERY DAY to help his business and she BELIEVES HIM!
Meanwhile the husband, who believed she'd come back even though he didn't want her, is looking for her everywhere - and he's got OW drama going on too!
It gets worse from here.
AND IT HAS A CLIFFHANGER ENDING!!!
Just save yourself some time. Don't bother with this.

This feels like a poor fanfiction of the chinese drama Love's ambition

DNF 20% in Anna the worst writing ever, I got whiplash from trying to understand if the narrative was actual dialogue or thoughts from the characters mind . Not sure why tik tok would even recommend it

First, what drew me in to read this book. Ava Selwyn knows how to set a scene with a few short details. Her approach to capturing emotion through someone's actions, expressions, the things they notice is done well.
I liked Mia. Her character made sense up until she meets Alexander. Like, she took James' words to heart and did her best to prove him wrong. She learned to cook, clean, be helpful with his business, etc. She learned to be self reliant, to the point she recognized she didn't need James anymore because she always had to rely on herself anyway. I admired that about her character and was proud of her for filing for divorce and leaving, even if she didn't have anywhere to go.
James is an understandably hateable character. Though, from how it's presented, I'm not sure if he's supposed to be the villain of the story, or the male lead who does a lot of groveling to win Mia back. I'm okay with that ambiguity. Just something of note for those who started this book without any previous experience with this author, like I did.
Alexander Graves... not a likeable male character either. He has Mia followed, but doesn't swoop in until after his men failed to, you know, prevent her from getting mugged. Like, yeah those guys should have been fired, like he rightly did. But... why would a possessive, obsessed man, let the woman he is fixated on walk around in slippers in the middle of winter? How desperate do you need the poor woman to be before you step in to play white knight? He makes out with her while she's asleep, he manipulates her to agree to marry him, he is constantly touching her in creepy ways, treating her like a piece of meat. Not something that he claims he would actually cherish.
If this is supposed to be a dark romance, then it crossed that line of suspension of disbelief for me. I'm okay with a fictional man who is jealous of an ex-husband and wants to treat the woman he's been obsessed with like the precious gem she is. I'm okay with a fictional man being cunning and being sneaky to get a woman to give him the time of day. I'm even okay with a fictional man playing white knight even if his motivations aren't pure. What I'm not okay with is a fictional male lead who doesn't actually respect the female lead when nobody is watching. That's a hard line for me, personally.
My other issue with the book is actually about the inner monologue and head hopping throughout the story. It was clunky and often unnecessary. This author knows how to convey emotion well. I don't know why she couldn't stick to one perspective during certain scenes and let her talent shine through. Like the proposal scene. She's already set up the characters well enough to display that Alexander is manipulative, and Mia doesn't want to be a bother or inconvenience. She doesn't want to hurt another person's feelings intentionally. The reader didn't need the head hopping to further understand the web Alexander was spinning around Mia.
For these reasons I stopped reading 91 pages in.

Heart breaking story. I don’t cry but my heart went out to Mia. She lost her parents and was married to heartless man. Mia had married James at the age of nineteen because he had helped her when her dad had a heart attack. He had carried her dad to the hospital. So she taught he was a good man and would make her happy and take care of her. She was so wrong, James was the opposite, he was indifferent to her, didn’t bother to pay attention to her, killing her outgoing personality so she could fit into his world. She was called a widow with a live husband. Because he never bother with her and treated her like a servant. She had called him to say her parents died needing comfort but he dismissed her by saying he was busy and for her to handle. He thought Mia had married him for money, not knowing her parents never wanted her to marry James. She became obsessed with marrying him out of gratitude for saving her dad not love.
So when she finally realized James would never lover she filed for an annulment. Since they had never consummate the marriage and annulment would do and she would be divorced from James. She left his house with only the clothes she had brought with her from her parents home. Five years of being her servant and she walked away with nothing because she has never married him for money but because she wanted someone good to fall in love with her. As she walked the streets at night she was attacked and her belongings stolen. A homeless person called James asking for help but he refused and told her Mia could call him and for the money herself. Mia was injured and needed money for an ambulance but he refused. That is when Alexander found her. Mia had met Alexander when they were teenagers but she didn’t remember him. Alexander on the other hand had become obsessed with Mia and had tracked her moves but stayed awayed when she got married thinking she was happy and in love w her husband. Not knowing the ugly truth that she was never loved or cared for. So he takes Mia home cleans her injuries and offers to take care of her. Proposes marriage and tells her she can have whatever makes her happy. Mia is naive and believes everything Alexander tells her. They get married and she shops thinking that helps his business by promoting his mall and the things he sells but he only told her that to make her buy stuff. In the mean time James is going crazy trying to find her and bring her back to his house. While Alexander just keeps doing things to make her happy. He also finds out she never loved James and they were never intimate. Alexander is so happy that he would be the only man that would be with her.
Mia meets his mom and loves how motherly she is. Then one day when they return to his mother’s house Mia meets Janet. She was the girl Alexander had made a contract with to take to events so other women would stay away.

This book showed up on my Facebook feed and I thought, “Sure, why not?” I did not realize I was about to step into a full blown telenovela with billionaires, delusion, and enough red flags to decorate a stadium.
James Sinclair
Listen… James. This man is a walking headache. He spent his entire marriage thinking Mia was only with him for his money, meanwhile she was literally doing everything for him cooking, charging his phone, laying out his clothes and he thought it was the maids. His friends talk trash about her and he just stands there. Silent. Useless.
He destroys her family home. He sees a video of her being attacked and somehow twists it into her trying to manipulate him. The mental gymnastics are Olympic level. And the way he ignored her injuries for Kylie? Sir, please be serious.
Mia Bennett
Mia deserved a hug, a nap, and a lawyer from the very beginning. She asks for a divorce, loses her parents, and when she calls her husband to tell him, he basically says “okay?” People call her a “married widow,” and honestly… they’re not wrong. She’s been alone in that marriage for years.
Alexander Graves
Then Alexander enters the chat like a morally gray hurricane. He’s charming, calculating, and somehow still more attentive than James ever managed to be. The way he convinces Mia to use his money “for business reasons” had me giggling. And when he suggests marriage as revenge? Peak petty. They give it three weeks to see if it could turn into something real, and the tension is chef’s kiss.
The Side Characters
• Mrs. Maisel: The only person in the Sinclair household with a functioning moral compass.
• Kylie: Fully convinced she’s James’ soulmate. Delusion is contagious in this book.
• Hazel: Gets kidnapped by James and STILL tells him the truth straight to his face. Iconic behavior.
• Ezra & Athena: James’ brother and mother who hated Mia from day one. Money over everything.
Overall:
This book is messy, dramatic, and addictive in that “I should stop reading but I physically can’t” way. Watching Mia finally choose herself even if it means teaming up with a man who plays chess while everyone else is playing checkers kept me hooked. If you love toxic men, revenge plots, and a heroine who finally gets the attention she deserves, this one delivers.

⭐ Review ⭐
Craving the Obsession honestly gave me whiplash every few pages 😵♀️. The story is written from a narrator perspective, which gives insight into side characters, but at the cost of emotional connection with the main couple — I never really felt grounded in either of them.
The FMC was a huge issue for me. I usually enjoy a damsel in distress, but this crossed into extremely gullible and naïve, to the point where it became frustrating rather than sympathetic 😬. Watching her repeatedly fall for obvious manipulation was… painful.
The MMC didn’t work for me either. I love bad boys and obsessed MMCs, but this one felt more cringe and emotionally manipulative than dark or compelling 🖤. The first night was especially bad — he starts intense but seemingly mindful, then flips instantly into rough kink after her orgasm, repeatedly, even though it’s her first time, with no aftercare at all. That shift completely broke the story for me 🚩.
The cliffhanger just made everything worse 😒. He’s supposedly been obsessed with her since he was 18… and now there’s suddenly a wife involved? Or is it some kind of test from his mother? I honestly don’t know — and at that point, I didn’t really care anymore.
I pushed myself to finish this book, hoping it would get better 📖😮💨, but it didn’t. Between the plot holes, the entitled and absurd ex, and the constant tonal whiplash, the whole experience was exhausting. Definitely not for me.

Feels like ai is doing the heavy lifting. sigh.
So why does it even rate 3 stars with me? Why did I even read it knowing that it's always like this with Ai-va Selwyn? And why don't the people uploading/claiming to author this ever do a quick read to make some edits?
Weird ai-sex and bizarre off the charts crazy characters with no continuity and yet here I am.
3 stars.
I'm an unwilling yet total sucker for telenovela-k-drama insanity.
The one thing that keeps me reading is that her heroines almost always initiate the departure from MMC1 (always a cruel doofus) - with complete justification and pending sainthood.
And they never forgive the cruelness.
And for some reason I always read until the MMC2 comes in to spend billions on her and/or the double/triple-upmanship begins with MMC1. And doofus MMC1 always gets trounced to bits.
Always. In every Selwyn book for whatever characters are in it lol
And that's when I realize I might have a revenge issue. And I skip ahead, read the ending, and come here to give it 3 stars for getting me to look at the pending date for the next one in the series.
It's gotta be ai - but I love the absurd soap opera.

I saw this book advertised on FB, where I was able to read the first few pages of the book, but I did not realize this book was a “to be continued” book until I got the book through Kindle Unlimited and read the last page. However, I am done with this “series.” The men in the book are all narcissistic, entitled a**holes. The main female character has multiple personalities apparently. In the first few chapters, she seems to be somewhat strong and independent, but after Alexander finds her, she becomes weak and needy. The whole book is disjointed and confusing. When Mia, the central female character, leaves her first husband, a**hole #1, why doesn’t she call her friend Hazel immediately? We don’t even know Hazel exists until a**hole #1 arrives at Mia’s parents’ home to destroy it in retaliation against Mia, whom he doesn’t love and treated like sh** the whole five years they were married. Instead, she runs from a**hole #1 straight to a**hole #2. If you find this review confusing, don’t bother to read the book. At least I didn’t have to pay for it.

This book sucked so bad, the writing was poor the plot was weird and I felt zero connection to any character. at all. Ever
The book braiding starts with the FMC trying to make her husband love her (I think he married her bc he saved her dad or something weird) he didn’t love her so she finally leaves him.
Then she is attacked and robbed and apparently she gets into an accident. Then A HOMELESS WOMEN calls her husband and asks him to give her money so she call call 911 and the husband refuses I just don’t understand this plot point (was it to show he’s heartless, like we’ve already established that)
Then our main lady is found by a billionaire, who just so happens to have been pinning for her for years
And he take her home, proposes, gives her the world. I just don’t understand
And don’t even get me stared on the weird narrative shifts. Like she can’t stick to one style, so it feels like an ominous presence is recounting the story.
Idk.

I forgot that I already read a book by this author. I quickly moved to skimming through this first in a trilogy with a cliffhanger ending.
It was over the top maudlin and melodramatic. The h is an insipid wife of a cold husband who sees her as a gold digger. He is suspicious that her family arranged the marriage and then lost large amounts of money. He won't allow her to visit him at work. He doesn't help when she calls him and he doesn't know that her parents died in a car accident last week. Finally she leaves him and files for divorce.
She is on the streets in a snow storm after being attacked, robbed and injured. She is rescued by a formidable billionaire who has been obsessed with her since they were teenagers. I laughed out loud when a few days after being barefoot in a snow storm, she was wearing a sun dress on a hot day. The dialogue is beyond ridiculous.

He doesn't help when she calls him and he doesn't know that her parents died in a car accident last week. Finally she leaves him and files for divorce.
She is on the streets in a snow storm after being attacked, robbed and injured. She is rescued by a formidable billionaire who has been obsessed with her since they were teenagers. I laughed out loud when a few days after being barefoot in a snow storm, she was wearing a sun dress on a hot day. The dialogue is beyond ridiculous.

So Craving The Obsession is book one of a trilogy. This came across on Facebook and looked good so I figured I’d take a chance. The book begins with Mia, sitting outside I the snow while her husband James works. He is a horrible husband in so many ways, not caring that she’s outside, or anything about her for that matter.
Mia finally grows a pair and leaves him, and in the process is on the streets when she gets robbed. Handsome CEO Alexander just so happens to come along and sweep her off her feet, literally.
The rest of what happens in this book is over the top ridiculous things, but it definitely kept me engaged entertained and wanting more. If you like books like this, you should find it enjoyable, but if you’re like me you will want more.

Billionaires
Spoilers: Wow, this was just terrible. I really can't believe I read it. It's as if someone stole a gothic novel and tried to shove it into a modern setting. 19 year old is "sold" into an arranged marriage with her father's business associate. They remain in the not consummated marriage for five years while he ignores her and she dotes on him. She leaves him, gets robbed, then an even richer billionaire (who has been secretly stalking her) saves and takes her home. She calls him Mr. Graves even after they marry. Meanwhile her first husband realizes he Lost her and he obsessively searches for her. Just when it definitely should be long concluded, his other wife pops up! Next book.

After Mia Bennet's marriage of five years to James Sinclair ended in divorce she was literally rescued on a dark, snowy night by Alexander Graves and as the saying goes, that was the end of that. Alexander quickly picked her up, drover her back to his home, nursed her back to health and then married her before she could even catch her breath. The Graves brothers are dangerous, disgustingly wealthy and very alpha. This is, in my opinion, one of the best stories Ava Selwyn has written if I allow for the abrupt cliff hanger ending. Now I can't wait for the next book in this series. Write faster, please, dear author. Tap, tap, tap...

This plot had so much more potential than it was given! I know it's a trilogy and this is only book 1 but I have no desire to read the rest. There are multiple instances in the book where names are spelled wrong (Bennett vs Bennet) and the repetitive writing is enough to pull you out of the story ("biting, licking, sucking" is repeated like 4 times on one page alone). Somehow Kylie Brown is the only believable character and she's a basket case of petty woman.
Editing to add: why the hell does Mia only refer to the MMC as Mr. Graves? I refuse to believe a 22 or 23 year old woman is this damn dumb/naive.

Facebook reel did me dirty
The ads drew me in. Not sure why I didn’t DNF?? The writing was subpar. The story line was ok, maybe that’s why I stayed? But the execution was terrible. Mia was in a loveless marriage for 5 years. And by loveless, she retained her v-card. Her ex is just a miserable workaholic, who after she leaves becomes obsessed with her, but is convinced she’s evil. Alexander, who she continues to call Mr. Graves, is some big shot business millionaire. But also suffers from stalking tendencies, quick rage, and idiotic insecure thoughts. I won’t be reading the next one, even with a cliffhanger like *gasp* Alexander also has a wife of the past 5 years.

I have enjoyed the previous books by the author. This one not so much. The characters did not resonate with me. Didn’t like Alexander or James. Alexander came across as an overbearing and overly possessive man. James was just indifferent to his wife until she left him. The heroine was really naive and came across as not very intelligent.
The story ended on a cliffhanger but how is that possible as Alexander’s mom bequeathed stuff she gave to all her daughter-in-laws to Mia.
I was disappointed with this book as I expected something equal to the author’s previous books.

This is book four in the Possessive Billionaires, Precious Sweethearts series and the first book in the Billionaire’s Obsession trilogy. The first few chapters in this book were heartbreaking. Mia is so sweet and naive, she seems almost childlike. James is a despicable character and Alexander is a strangely obsessed character. I was invested in Mia’s story to the point of not being able to stop reading!! There’s an intriguing mystery surrounding Alexander that kept me guessing right up to the jaw-dropping cliffhanger. I cannot wait to read more in the next episode.

I love these billionaire stories! The men are so alpha and so jealous and possessive of their woman. Mia has been in a bad marriage with her neglectful husband James for five years. She finally finds the strength to leave him and ends up at the house oh Alexander Graves. He's a very rich man and has always had a thing for Mia. This is his opportunity to swoop in and be her hero. This is the beginning story of a trilogy so it does end on a cliffhanger but the author usually releases the next book quickly. I can't wait to see what happens next.

What a cliffhanger
I kept seeing the reels for this series on FB and yes, I thought it sounded like something I would enjoy. I enjoyed the Favorite series and bought these also.

Triggers: yes, please check each book for the warnings
Spice level: 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

When I just want to yell at the characters, the book gets 5 stars.
Plot: 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
The plot was fast moving and well put together. As it moved from book to book, there was no giant change and flowed well.
Will I reread? YES
Would I change anything? NO

Writing this review for all 3 books in this trilogy as it reads as one book.
This mini series has a good plot.
Loved the after chapter.
Author has some good insight to what emotional abuse can do to a person. Also a few blind spots.
Main character was a bit wishy washy for me, until she wasn’t. Also the public sex scenes? Did not feel like the main character really cared if he was causing her harm.
There were some editing errors and plot jumps as well.
Overall good book and will read this author again.

Very poorly written
I read approximately 10 books a month and this was absolute book was absolute trash. I’m glad I got it on kindle unlimited because I would be pissed if I actually paid for it.
The conversations were awful and made no sense at all. the plot was ridiculously unbelievable and quite frankly it was written as if it were cheap AI trash. I didn’t even make it past chapter 3 before I stopped it was THAT BAD.

power of social media
Full disclosure, I was enticed to this book by several posts on insta. Sadly, after a few short chapters into this book, I regretted it. The verbiage used leads me to think that this book was translated from another language. The characters were a bit unreal, and I’ve read some books with much more OTT personalities. The cliffhanger this book leaves on is probably the highlight but I don’t think I will continue in this journey.

Family Oriented Romance
Eh… When children are raised in families, it can be done in one of two ways: a) family oriented or b) individual oriented. This book was written by someone who is family oriented. Being from the US, I was raised individual oriented. Being shamed for having sex, social or money status priorities/ rank is not an end all be all issue. IMO people should not feel ashamed for having individual happiness as was seemed to me, written in this book.

No.
This is not a well written book with a plot that is all over the place, boring writing and nothing that makes sense. It’s is wildly inaccurate on simple things like geography, none of the relationships shown are based on reality from the romances to the executive assistants to the other family members.
I am curious its origin, is it AI generated? Fan fiction from a Korean soap opera? Voice to text of one of those ridiculous stories on social media?

This should have been a DNF but I skimmed my way to the end to see what happened. :Sigh: It was a cliffhanger. I didn't bother with book 2. This read like an outline of a book, rather than an actual narrative. The characters were poorly formed, the plot was all over the place and near impossible to follow. This author needs a really good copy editor and a few more months of writing, because honestly, this could be good. It just isn't right now.

Why did I even try?
This is an embarrassment to books and women. Even if English is not the author's first language, the writing is abysmal. I skimmed most of it just to see if there was a plot. Spoiler alert - there isn't. And every person in this book is a terrible person. And the main character is a victim and manipulator. Its actually laughable but I am the loser who spent my time skimming it for anything redeemable.
