In order to keep her safe, Etienne might have to make the ultimate sacrifice and let Taya go in this exciting conclusion to the Obsession serial romance.

Lots of emotional turbulence as well as excitement draws the readers in as Taya and Etienne plan to battle against the coming enemies even as Taya struggles against her heart and what she feels is the right thing to do. These strong compelling characters captured my heart in the first part of this serial and continued to dig even deeper while the fast paced and smooth flowing plot keeps readers on the edge of their seat with lots of suspense, excitement and romance and the well written scenes and details capture the imagination and guarantee that the reader becomes completely immersed in the story from the very beginning.

I have to say that this is one exciting conclusion to Etienne and Taya’s story and it was certainly a surprise that I didn’t see coming and a fantastic set up for the next book to come I might add, which means that I can’t wait to read it, of course.

YOWZA! Talk about a fabulous finale! Chloe Cole has done it again! She's pulled out all the stops and dazzled us yet again in Book Three, the heart-stopping final installment and conclusion to Obsession, the riveting second serial in her Montana Dragon Series. And it was totally worth the wait! I love it! And yes, I said serial so please be forewarned. It you haven't read Books One and Two, please STOP HERE! I've been hooked since the first page of the first book and simply can't get enough! I was completely spellbound! The story is incredibly well written in the third person with alternating his and her points of view. It is also exciting, thrilling, riveting, action packed, original, imaginative, well developed, compelling, hypnotic, entertaining, humorous, romantic, arousing and sensual. The dialogue is smart, sassy, well written and flows effortlessly. The characters are fascinating, captivating, intriguing, engaging, endearing and sexy. Cole skillfully combines these elements into a wonderfully entertaining paranormal story full of fantasy, suspense, danger, adventure and sweet romance. And let's not forget the incredibly hot sex! Hubba! Hubba!

Books One and Two: Handsome dragon-shifter Etienne Beauchamp is known as many things - cad, playboy, womanizer - but never hero. Or is he??? Etienne is returning home from a night of sin and debauchery at The Dungeon, Montana's only BDSM club when he hears a woman's terrifying screams and for some inexplicable reason, feels drawn to help. What he finds rocks him to his very core. A young teenage human female is being attacked, not by humans but by two supernatural creatures and he feels compelled to save her. But the lovely, young human female is not a teenager at all, she's a beautiful young school teacher with silky long dark hair, peaches and cream complexion and drop dead sexy, luscious curves. Oh my! He wants her! Nope, so not going to happen-she's human! What is wrong with him? Taya Briarcroft is so tired of her hum-drum boring life. She has no boyfriend and no prospects in sight. Heck, she's only ever had sex with just one guy and that was very disappointing. She needs some excitement in her life but being attacked by two evil, maniacal men is not exactly what she had in mind. And describing them as men is using the term loosely! Oh my! It seems her short 29 year old life will be over before it starts. Or maybe not! She's rescued by her very own knight in shining armor, sexy Frenchman Etienne Beauchamp, and he is certainly the whole package, tall, blonde, sexy, charming and handsome with muscles galore. And did I say sexy? Yeah, twice! But her Prince Charming would never be attracted to an overly curvy, plain-jane like her. Would he? It seems he would! There's only one little hiccup - he may be as much of a monster as the men who attacked her. What? And the men who attacked her weren't actually men. Huh? They were rogue werewolves! What the heck! Werewolves don't exist, do they??? Oh, but they do exist and so do dragons and now everyone including the Council of Shifters wants Taya eliminated because she's seen too much and humans aren't allowed to know the secret about the existence of shifters. Oh my goodness! Will lovely Taya be able to resist the charms of the sexy Etienne. Or the real question may be, will Etienne be able to resist the innocent and lovely school teacher? I think not because both Etienne and his dragon want the lovely Taya. And what Etienne wants, Etienne always gets, one way or another! Oh my! Unfortunately, there are a few teensy-weensy problems. First, Taya is human and shifters can't mate with humans. Huh? Nope, definitely not allowed! Etienne must mate with another shifter in order to produce little baby shifters and continue his family lineage. Second, Taya has no clue that she and Etienne can never be together. Oh no! Etienne neglected to reveal that little nugget of information. Third, the wolves and the Council want her dead! Oh my!

Book Three: Mina, Etienne's longtime valkyrie friend and sometime private contractor for the European Council of Shifters, arrives and promptly lets the proverbial cat out of the bag. Or should I say dragon out of the cave. Either way, Taya consequentially discovers the very unpleasant and heartbreaking truths about Etienne, including the harsh revelation that she and Etienne can never be together. Oh, and he has a harem! A harem?!? Oh yeah, I said harem! What self respecting dragon doesn't have a harem??? But the most disturbing disclosure - the Council is sending assassins to kill Taya. Huh? What the heck?!? Assassins for one little human??? Oh my! Will Taya ever be able to forgive Etienne for his deceit and lies of omission? Or has he finally broken her heart and destroyed the love she feels for him? Is Mina there to kill Taya? Or has she come to help her childhood friend Etienne and if so, how could she possibly help? Will Etienne be able to protect Taya from the werewolves, the Council and his family? Will Etienne lose Taya or will fate find a way for the two lovers to be together - forever??? Oh my glory! I'll never tell! No spoilers from me but I will say this..... Handsome sexy dragon shifter with his very own harem but finds his true mate and falls helplessly and desperately in love-check! Beautiful curvy human school teacher who falls head over heels in love with a dragon-check! A wonderful cast of characters-check! Danger, drama, suspense, assassins, malevolent werewolves, a stubborn unyielding Council of Shifters, meddling family and a possible civil war-check! Romance, heated attraction, fiery passion, a little humor, a large measure of heartbreaking angst and some fabulous steamy dreamy sex-you betcha! That and a whole lot more! And as an added bonus, we get to see Drake and Willa again! Buckle up my lovelies, it's another wild ride! I can hardly wait for Valkyrie's Choice, Mina's story, coming Fall 2015! Fabulous entertainment and an awesome read!

I have been waiting with baited breath for this third and final book in the story of Etienne & Taya. This finale provides everything that make a story a page turner. The hurt & anger Taya experiences is gut wrenching as she finds more things that Etienne has not shared with her and should have by now. With the Wolves and the Council out to take out the problem there is danger at every turn and enough fear to measure.

Drake and Willow are there to support their friends with advice,and fighting strength. Dang it all..There is a new character, Mina, that has me hooked into the next series. Aren't Drake & Willow the ones that started this whole roller coaster ride to begin with? HECK YES!!!

This author knows how to weave a great story with memorable characters, and hot lovin'. I'll keep reading as long as she keeps writing great reads.

Book 3) Super sexy, thought-filled characters, and fast paced story telling make this tale great. Etienne left to get help with a plan. Taya is now afraid of the next attack, and Valkyrie Mina is with her at the mansion. Mina was trouble last time, but now she's helping train Taya to fight, to be able to protect herself. After hot sex, Taya decides that if she leaves it will save anyone from further attacks. Etienne can't "change" her into a dragon because it's too dangerous, most humans die trying it. When Taya sneaks out - Lo and behold, Mina is waiting for her. She's gone for days and Etienne is furious. He finally finds Mina, and then Taya, who is not human anymore !!!! What is she ???
Montana Dragons: Coercion 1-3 came first. Now Obsession 1-3, then next - I don't know, but I do know this was a cliffhanger, as were all the others, so I guess we wait and see !!!
ENJOY !!!.

[Cheri · Rating 5 out of 5]

Worth the wait. In the fantastic conclusion there is action and so much fear that if the situation doesn't keep Etienne and Taya apart, they won't live through it. It seems hopeless and even he cannot provide hope for their future. I know this is a romance there has to be a HEA, but I have to admit I questioned how it could be throughout the read. Taya's growth is amazing. The shy school teacher has some steal inside. She just needed a reason to find it. The appearance of Mina and her less than subtle approach does the job.

You will worry, cheer for them and be unable to put this down until you finish. Thankfully Ms Bell gave us the hope of more with these characters in Mina's story to come. So instead of sulking, I am again impatiently awaiting MORE. (I fell for Mina at least this time I don't have to beg for her story)

I was given a complimentary copy for an honest review by author Chloe Cole.

Taya Briarcroft knows things she should not and being betrayed by someone you love cuts deep. She was hurt by Etinne Beauchamp who she loved. Etienne Beauchamp never really wanted to hurt Taya because he loved her but thing happen for a reason and now it is up to him to put things right. Can he gain back her trust or will they forever be divided.

This book has a really good story line and wonderful characters for any reader to enjoy. The author gave the characters very good interaction.

This is for any paranormal romance book lover. This is part 3 and it starts where part 2 leaves off so it is best to read the story in order.

Omg.... I am in awe about his series. Montana Dragons was amazing; here was some thing that was a bit more developed from the character development and plot. For me these two series, Montana Wolves and Montana Dragons, had it all....romance, mystery, adventure, and the flare of the supernatural. This girl couldn't ask for more. Etienne is one beautiful man and dragon.

I love how in bothy series that these men are both scary and kind at the same time. They protect those they cre about and would go to the ends of the earth for them.

These were a great read and I can't wait to read more......

.....Happy Reading!!!!

As Etienne dispatches the shifter problem, another more pressing problem arises. The assassins want Taya for what she knows. As she makes a decision to protect Etienne and his friends, another choice becomes available to her, and she takes it. I really enjoyed Etienne's transition from the first book, and Taya's strength is shown, which makes them, in the end, a great couple. A great ending to the series!!

A waste of paper not worth $2.00. Was so looking forward to this book the others were very good.

Hard to believe they did not know taya could be changed especially since she suggested the bit why not make her wolf. Needed more words. That was the give away. Just a disappointment.

[Denise · Rating 5 out of 5]

Worth The Wait.
The story picks up the next day. Taya is in emotional turmoil and Mina is her tough self. As Etienne tries to eliminate the threat, the girls are working on a contingency plan. The story is fast paced and filled with conflict and emotions. You won’t put it down till you’re done and can’t wait for the next one.

Taya knows everything now. What will she do with all the information that has unfolded before her eyes? She was once a mousy-looking lonely woman surrounded by evil.....and then....sorry, no spoilers here.
They fight to stay together even though the world hunts to keep them apart. Bravo, Chloe. Bring on more!!!

Received the book for an honest review. Book three Obsession will leave you wanting more. Well written with action, sexy scenes and hope. Great storyline with likeable and loveable characters. The ending alone will entice you to pick up the book. This book is not a stand alone and must be read as a series. Can't wait to see what Ms Cole has in store for us next.

Good Read

I enjoyed this read, although I wished it wasn't so short. I can hardly wait for the next book in the series. I think others will enjoy this book also, just keep up with the series. I will recommend this book to others.

[Amber · Rating 4 out of 5]

Dude. DUDE. Yes. Much yes. I enjoyed the other story, but this one? Yes. Engaging characters, life threatening peril, twue wuv, and true friendship. a recommend but make sure you have access to all three parts because the cliffhangers are brutal.
