What a great read! Felicia is a strong woman after all that’s happened in her life. A dark stalker romance that just has many different elements and situations that keep you on edge. This does end on a cliffhanger so be prepared and now I’m anxiously awaiting for that!!

This is the first dark romance novel I've read about a plus-size girl. Author Nicole's writing is fantastic; it makes you feel like you're there. Despite the book being short, you get to know the characters really well. Everything you expect from a dark romance novel featuring a stalker is there. The storyline is well-structured, and the plots flow smoothly.
The ending was a huge cliffhanger, but it only leaves you wanting more.

Obsessed is the 1st book in the Sable University Series by Lavender Nicole.
I love a great dark romance and as a plus-sized woman myself, I love when an author writes a plus-sized FMC. I fell in love with Lavender Nicole’s writing with her writing with her book “Tattooed on Their Hearts”. And Obsessed impressed me just as much as “Tattooed on Their Hearts” did.
Despite this being a short novella, Nicole ensures that we have the opportunity to get to know all the characters really well. And this is everything and more that you could expect from a dark romance novella that even features a stalker. I loved how well thought out Lavender Nicole planned this storyline, and the plot and sub-plot flows beautifully.
Felicia is our lovely, intelligent, kind, and caring FMC. I will admit that besides being a plus-sized character she’s also on the spectrum. I appreciate this as I am high functioning autistic as well as suffering from ADHD. I can also relate to felicia as I also suffer from my own chronic health issues including migraines and PCOS. And I have to say that Lavender Nicole did such a stunningly amazing job at depicting a character with all these different things.
Luke I can relate to with his battle with ADHD. And my good Lord, as a Stalker, he’s just one that you can’t help but swoon over.
And honestly, I couldn’t help but fall in love with all of the stunning secondary characters that we get to meet. Characters like Dovey who just happens to be Luke’s sister. Lela is Felicia’s sister and I loved getting to see their dynamic play out. Jocalyn who is Felicia’s best friend and also Lela’s girlfriend. Chloe, Collin, and Kaylee.
Hopefully that little character outline helps you keep some characters straight. I got some of the character’s mixed up in my head for a while, so I wanted to help you out with a little guide.
I do have to say that this book does leave you on a cliffhanger that’s going to make sure you’re left wanting more and I can’t wait to get my hands on the next book of this series.
If you like dark romance novels, stalkers, plus-sized characters, ASD/ADSD representation, and kinky/spicy moments then I highly recommend Obsessed by Lavender Nicole. I can promise you, I’m obsessed over Lavender Nicole’s writing.

The book is well on its way to being something special, and I'm rooting for it. Many thanks to the author for providing an ARC copy. I really appreciate it.
The book was very good, well written, very spicy, definitely for an adult audience but readable, the pages flew by and suddenly it was over, which I take as a big plus and is actually a guarantee that the book is damn good. I would say that it pleasantly surprised me, I was expecting something a little different.
I believe it will definitely find its audience because the main characters are well written, fulfill their role in the story, and give it overall dimension.
I fell in love with Luke on the very first pages and would take him right away, without remorse. He has grown close to my heart, and I don't think he will leave it for a long time.
Felicia, I don't know. I have no objection to her portrayal… of anything. We all deal with our problems in our own way. But she just didn't sit right with me. It's not her fault, she was brilliantly written, it's purely my problem.
The plot was exciting but it was pretty clear from the beginning where the wind was blowing.
In conclusion, the book was very good, a great story with beautifully developed and lively characters. I will definitely read the sequel because I am curious.
And… I fell in love with Christmas lights 🤭🥵

Sable University book 1
Lavender Nicole is a new to me author, and i absolutely loved her writing style and amazing complex characters. This book was addictive and I'm totally OBSESSED. Not only was the plot different and exciting, but it was just so easy-to-read and kept turning pages. The suspense had me on the edge-of-my-seat.
The slow burn turned the heat way up once ignited. WOW!
The different representations were everything, I felt so seen. Never has an FMC resonated with me so much. I just related to so many aspects of her character.
I loved everything about this book except that cliffhanger left me wanting more, and book 2 isn't out yet.

I would actually give it a 3.5. If it didn't end on a cliffhanger I would give it a 4. Definitely read the trigger warnings. The author did her research and has put together a very emotional story. There are lots of very dark elements in this story that can make it hard to read. I did enjoy how Felicia does not let her disabilities keep her down and how she continues to fight for what she wants in her education. I appreciate how Luke listens when she talks and learns what she likes. You have two very traumatized people finding something unexpected with each other. Not sure if I will read the next one or not.

Quick review without Spoilers!!!
Okay so this book was really good. I don't know how many highlights I have but I was loving it. Like Lavender says in the beginning this is a slow burn but when the first spicy scene happens...HOLY SMOKES!!!!. She added in the mask kink along with the chase scene, and let me just say the GLORY HOLE!!!!!! I do think though that it did not have to be this long, it was losing me around 80% in the book. But overall I enjoyed it.

This was my first book by Lavender Nicole and what a book! It was a slow burn book until the first spicy scene and then it was full on after that.
Luke, Felicia and Dovey's characters were well written and you really felt like you knew and understood them.
It was a good stalker romance and one that didn't disappoint me. I cannot wait for the next book in the series. In the meantime, I am off to read Lavender's other books.

I love how strong Felicia is after everything she has been through. As an AuDHD adult myself, I felt some of her struggles. Where can I find a Luke though? I absolutely fell in love with him! He doesn’t fit the norm for men and I love that so much! Can’t wait for the second book, I’m sad this one ended!

4.5 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This book hit me in places I wasn’t prepared for.
Felicia’s trauma felt painfully real. I had to pause my reading more than once to ground myself because some of her thoughts and reactions mirrored my own experiences too closely.
I expected comfort at the end and instead got a cliffhanger 😭
I’m invested and absolutely continuing the series.

This book was a very big stalkerish win for me. I loved everything about this book. It flowed so well, great touch of darkness. The characters were amazing. I could really relate to them and everything about them in this book. It was such a good read, that I started it and didn’t put it down until I was finished. But that cliffhanger!!! I’ll be impatiently waiting for the next one lol

I really enjoyed Obsessed.
Good plot, great complex characters, with Indigenous representation and also Autism and ADHD, what else can you ask for? Oh right, amazing spice, sex and kinks being openly discussed and lived... You name it, you got it!
Can’t wait for the next book...

I wanted to like this story; it's by all accounts something I would normally read. I found the writing to be juvenile. Pokémon references, gotta catch all the orgasms.
The MMC was not someone I was rooting for. Maybe it was a bad day for me, but I didn't love this story.

Oh my goodness I'm OBSESSED! I went into this book a little blind. I am new to this author, and they did not disappoint. They had me at the dedication! The representation is beyond phenomenal! The topics are real and not sugar coated. The burn is slow and the spice is spicing! I love a strong and confident FMC and Felicia is just that. Luke is the stalker you cannot help to swoon over. This book has an amazing group of characters and a great story. Fair warning there is a cliffhanger.
December 20, 2025
3.5/5 🌶️ in my opinion. I genuinely enjoyed this book. The cliffhanger at the end kinda ruined me. But it just makes me even more excited about the next one. I loved the dynamic between FMC and MMC and the sister.

December 22, 2025I really enjoyed this book. Luke is the stalker I wouldnt mind having. I love the relationship Felicia was building with Luke and Dovey. At the end, I was not expecting that cliffhanger but now I'm invested to see what comes next.

This was a fantastic stalker romance! I read this book in one sitting, it had me so hooked and I was not ready for it to end. I’m excited for the next book and look forward to reading more books by Lavender Nicole.

January 10, 2026it was such a good book. I couldn't put it down and im hoping there is going to be a second book because lavender nicole left it on a good cliff hanger to the point were you wonder whats going to happen next for Felicia and luke.
January 12, 2026
I could not put this book down I needed more as I kept reading. It was spicy, dark and had moments that I laughed between the banter of the MMC and MFC. This book had The Lord vibes and did not disappoint. I cannot wait to continue the journey and see what happens between Laurel and

I absolutely love st@lker dark romance, so I knew I would love this. It's spicy and suspenseful and had me on the edge of my seat. It was so good and kept me interested. Loved the characters too! Can't wait for the next book.
December 21, 2025
The beginning started a little slow and some of the pop references felt a little forced and too much but I assure you by the end you will be obsessed and the ending will leave you gasping for air

I have mixed feelings about this. it was a good book, but the lack of dialog tags made it difficult to tell who was speaking. the imbeded images were hard to read.

Ha! That dedication though *chef's kiss*
This book gave me the Zade & Addie college years vibe.
The story was good, the characters each had their complexities which they were all trying to overcome.
Damn! Leaving on that cliffhanger though. Torture! Will definitely read them next book.
