Neal Cannon and Kira Blu. The art dealer and the escort. Living the kind of life neither could have envisaged, before he paid to sleep with her and their worlds changed, forever. Now living in Neal’s penthouse apartment in Manhattan, they spend their days working together, and their nights playing the kind of games that need to be kept behind closed doors. Behind one special door in particular... Behind that door they’ve created a world they live out in secret. A world of intense pleasure and beautiful pain; a world that doesn’t stay secret for long… Neal Cannon and Kira Blu. Together they’re not only bringing their own dark desires to life, they’re also helping others to live out their private fantasies. But when reality begins to creep in, and ghosts from the past come back to haunt them, dark and dangerous secrets start to unravel… How far will they go to keep the one thing they want the most? The most powerful Obsession of all…

Michelle Betham is an ex-media technician turned author of super-sexy romance, usually involving rock stars, DJs, movie stars, hot businessmen, and bikers. But not usually all in the same book. Yet. A proud indie author, she also has six books published through One More Chapter, a division of HarperCollins Publishers, one of which is a pyschological thriller/romantic suspense written under the pen name of ML Roberts.
Addicted to binge-watching TV shows she struggles to think of a life before Netflix or Amazon Prime, loves music - especially rock and EDM; tattoos – of which she has many; spicy food, superheroes (she's a slightly obsessed Avengers fan-girl who harbours a particularly unhealthy obsession with Captain America), and Keanu Reeves – a crush that’s lasted well over twenty years, and one she blames entirely on ‘Point Break’. The original. She refuses to acknowledge any remake exists.
Her dream is to ride a Harley, visit Las Vegas, and be able to eat any amount of chocolate without putting on weight.
She lives in County Durham, north-east England, with her husband and their West Highland Terrier, Opie - named after her favourite biker in Sons of Anarchy! She can be found, most days, at her desk drinking tea and making up stories.
I struggled with the second book in this series. First of all, it went off in a way that I never imagined and finishes with a cliffhanger so you'll want to read #3 right away to see how it all ends. I was happy with book #3 by the way.
This book begins with Kira Blue and Neal having tons of sex and exploring their new life in New York. I'm certain Kira is on the best birth control that ever existed because how she didn't get pregnant after having sex multiple times every day I don't know. They are a hot couple who have explosive chemistry which we discovered in book #1.
All is good for the most part until someone from Kira's past shows up and causes all sorts of trouble for Kira and Neal and I mean bad trouble. Not going to reveal how it all pans out, but you must read Book #3 to see how it all ends.
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
This is the second book in The Forbidden Series, following Allure.
Obsession is a fantastically HOT read and everything that I have come to expect when I open a book from Michelle Betham. Her stories are well written and flow well, her characters are fun and relateable and her books are catchy, page turners that I don't want to put down.
I can't wait to see what she does with Surrender, Book 3
