The Billionaire's Seduction #2
Obsession and Surrender
Although this book is part of a series, it can be read as a stand alone novel.
Keane’s college sweetheart, Lilly, is the only woman he’s ever loved—too bad he was far too young and stupid to realize it, and ended things between them in the worst possible way. He’s spent the last seven years trying to become a better man—someone Lilly can hopefully learn to trust and fall in love with once more. But when he goes stumbling back into her life in the middle of the night, professing his undying love, he’s off to a damn rocky start.
Lilly's never really gotten over Keane, even if she’s moved on. The only use she now has for him is as her inspiration for the steamy romances she secretly pens under a different name. When Keane comes crashing back into her life, it's the last thing she expects—but she has bigger worries than a lying, cheating ex, when she has a stalker fan who wants his own leading role, and has managed to track her down.
Keane’s offering her his protection, and feeling cornered, she takes it. Stuck living with him for the foreseeable future, it's hard to deny the chemistry that still exists between them, and he soon has her wondering if he has indeed changed from the guy who broke her heart. But with a stalker hunting her and love on the line, can she really keep herself—and her heart— safe?

This is a great second chance book. You have a man who has screwed up royally and realizes he has and decides to fix his mistakes. Throw in an erotica author with a stalker and he has a reason to rush in and save the day.
Of course, he waited 7 years to do it, which seems like an awfully long time to me. There were a few times I was confused on the timeline of events after they came back into each other's lives but it was explained later on in the book.

Obsession...
Book 3 does not disappoint. Filled from cover to cover with drama, action and sexiness. Real life issues with dark twists and turns. Yummy dialogue that makes you tingle all over. Onto the next book.

Keene broke Lilly’s heart by cheating on her when they were in college. Now eight years later, Keene has decided that life without Lilly just isn’t an option and will do whatever is needed to win her back. What Keene didn’t know when he went to win back Lilly’s heart was that Lilly has a stalker. A stalker that seems to be getting braver by the minute.
After Keene broke Lilly’s heart she became a writer and even though she is writing under a pen name and thought she had been careful about keeping her real identity and location hidden, someone has found her. This stalker seems to think he is the hero in Lilly’s book and she is his heroine. Her stalker has found his way into her home, then into Keene’s home and then follows them into another country.
This romance will definitely have you, the reader, aware of the fear that Lilly is experiencing but all the same time experiencing the alpha-male domination of Keene. This was a great book to read and I’m enjoying the series. I’ve particularly enjoyed Jake and Keene’s stories and now look forward to Wyatt’s story in the next book.

I didn't really enjoy this book.
I did not love that Keane just bulldozed into Lilly's life without any explanation for why he cheated. I wish they had a scene discussing the whole moment she caught him cheating and the circumstances, just to lay everything out on the table. I felt he just used sex to get her to be agreeable rather that showing and demonstrating, and giving her time. He also proposed way too soon, which I did not appreciate at all. I felt there were too many sex scenes, and her assault past circumstances just confused me. I wish Lilly was stronger and had more of a backbone.
TBH, cheating in books is not for me, but I still tried to like this book and read it with an open mind. There are other ways to have readers emphasize with the cheating situation if handled delicately and carefully, but this book did not do that justice.

Captivating book
This book was a page turner from the beginning to the very end! It took me on an emotional journey and I definitely needed some tissues. I can't wait to read the next book in this series.

Loved It
This was an awesome book. Really enjoyed the storyline. The characters were all uniquely written. A little darkly told but light enough to really be addicting. Can't wait till the next book.

Review by: Candace Fox
Genre: Romantic Suspense
Lilly and Keane had a thing in College, they fell in love and Keane being a dude, did something stupid and cheated on her.
Lilly understandably had heart heart broke and it hardened her, and in this case probably made her a much better character for this story.
This story deals with issues that are not so pleasant but also play a pivotal role in the understanding of the H/h.
I love the fact that the Heroine is not so much of a push over for this Alpha Hero. They banter back and forth and she hold nothing back and loves calling is pet names like Ass and Bastard. It will make you chuckle.
Overall this book has an original story line, but one that I would think an Author would have a hard time with due to maybe something of that nature could really happen. I found it captivating and surprising at times. Just when I think I got it figured out and BAM another twist...
I give this book: 5 Candi

Weird
I'm not sure how to describe this book. There were some parts that were very sweet and some parts that had me confused. The beginning was very weird and there was no explanation for Keane's behavior and very little for Lilly's. This was just the first chapter. It got more confusing as the book went on. The sex scenes were really uncomfortable to read. After the abuse Lilly suffered previously it seemed odd she would like Keane to be so rough and controlling in the bedroom. Towards the end of the book Lilly suffers more abuse with little explanation of what occurred. It wasn't until later the author gave a glimpse of what happened. It was so confusing I just wanted to finish the book and be done with it. I was going to read Wyatt's story next but I'm not sure I want to now. I don't remember Marshall's story being so confusing so I was surprised this one was so awful. I'll probably read more books from this author. Just not in this series.

This is book 7 in the Billionaire's temptation series, it can be read as a stand alone. This book focuses on Keane and Lilly. College sweethearts that were tore apart by a lying, cheating Keane. He wants her back and she wants nothing to do with him. This entire series is great! This book has it all, romance, sexiness, suspense. It is a nail biter. I could not put this book down. The character development is wonderful and the secondary characters introduced are mouth watering fun. I can't wait to see what Cali has in store for us next! Bring on #8!!

Cali MacKay has doe it again with Obsession and Surender. Jeans has finally gotten back together with Lilly after 7 years only to find out she has a stalker. Jeans is determined to keep her safe. Lolly does love Keane but does not trust him due to his cheating on her 7 years ago. Lilly's stalker, Sirius, keeps finding her.
This is an intense romance/thriller that will keep you reading til the end. Highly recommend for anyone over the age of 18.

well written and researched. lilly has certainly had her share of crap, even keane at the start cheated and hurt her. shes so strong to come back from not only that but what Dylan did, then the stalker. what happens with that, not many woman would get past all of it and come out sane. keane redeems himself and is understanding and protective of lilly, his patience is something I would hope all real men have. this is a story of love, hope and strength to overcome all that life throws at it

Great book - Highly recommended
This whole series was great. Cali MacKay is one of the best authors out there. I've read hundreds of books, at least one book a day and she has a dynamic way of writing. Plus I love that she keeps the main characters in the story together and monogamous throughout the whole book. She doesn't use misunderstandings to take up space in the book. She just writes a great story every time. Congrats on another great. Gina

What a way to leave things. Cali what are you doing to me! I loved Lilly and Keane. I felt so bad for what she went through. I hope that none of what she went through has ever happened to you. As an author I guess these things do happen. I can't wait to see what's up with Wyatt. I love the way Keane was so dominant but yet so loving. And Lil was such a strong resilient woman. Another great story !
You've always been my very heart

Keane is the sibling in the series 'The Billionaire's Suduction'. He has been in love with Lily since they met in college. But he destroyed the relationship by not being faithful to her. She leaves him. Now many years later he finds her again. But her past has her frightened. She has a stalker. Will she let him help her? Or will she push him away? Wanting nothing to do with him, the cheater? Just to let you know that at the end ends with a bit of what is coming in the next book.

Better than the first book. This story was a terrific follow-up to Passion. Told in a completely different way, this story is not a copycat with new names to the same story. I would certainly recommend it to anyone who is a fan of second chance romances.
As for it being a standalone, it truly is. You don't have to read the first book for this story to make sense. The previous characters are really only mentioned. It is basically like a separate book in the same universe. I enjoyed it immensely.

Boring to me
I was not impressed whatsoever. I barely made through this book. Almost like the author threw this book together in a couple of days
