OBSESSED
It started with a dark and stormy night.
So cliché it was as if the whole thing had been orchestrated.
A gorgeous woman came to his door seeking help.
A handsome and heavily muscled man answered.
After a torrid night of passion, they parted.
Jax Paulson is a bestselling author. A romance author.
He wasn’t anyone’s idea of a typical romance author,
not with his bad boy tattoos and hard body.
That’s because being a romance author was the last thing Jax Paulson expected he’d become.
He was a Marine first and foremost, until a tragic accident changed everything.
Now Jax is at the top of the writing world, hovering on the brink of worldwide success.
Then she came back.
His one night stand.
Her name is Sarah. It was just supposed to be one wild night. And that was all. But Sarah is his number one fan.
And if she can’t have him.
NO ONE CAN.

Certainly "thrilled" me...
I've page turned my way through thrillers, I've swooned over erotic romances, I've bitten my nails through mysteries, and I've lost time and tide in many a archaeological adventure...but never have I done all of the above in the same amazingly addictive book!!
I've been reading, and loving, everything that Ashton Blackthorne has written since the beginning. But, in this, his latest work, I feel as though this gifted story teller has finally found his niche. I have never been so impressed, or enthralled, in witnessing the evolution of a writer, as I have with Mr. Blackthorne and his novels.
Whether you're a fan of romance, fantasy, erotica, mysteries, or thrillers, you will not be disappointed with this story. And that is all I'm saying, for fear of giving away even the slightest bit of this exciting and thoroughly enthralling story.
Read this book at your own risk... because you will, undoubtedly, find yourself...Obsessed

My thumbs were pricking and something wicked, very wicked happens in this novel. I was not expecting this plot but it was very, very good. The interplay between the novel Jax is writing and the novel you are reading is cleverly done. There is some erotica in the book but not as much as you would expect from this author, again a reflection of the novel being written by Jax. There are twists at every turn and just when you think you have it figured out, there is another turn in the road. One puzzle is left unsolved, the Egyptian pin puzzle, hopefully it will be revealed in the second book of the duet. I look forward to reading it with baited breath.

Just wow! Obsessed was quite the read. I thoroughly enjoyed this book and had a hard time tearing myself away from it. It captivated me from the beginning and had my heart pounding throughout.
I really enjoyed the character Jax, and have the utmost respect for authors trying to accomplish a goal; like Jax trying to hit #1. I felt Jax had a lot of depth and that Ashton Blackthorne had developed Jax well. The plot was fascinating, fast-paced and definitely a thriller. There were times when I wanted to read through spread fingers...kind of like when you cover your eyes while watching a scary movie.
Ashton Blackthorne brilliantly crafted a clever, heart-pounding thriller!

WOW that is all I can say. I just finished reading Obsessed and I am stunned. It was such a great read when it says an erotic thriller it means an erotic thriller. I was riveted to this book once I picked it up last night. I was sad to put it down when I couldn't hold my eyes open any longer last night. I can't wait for the next book in this duet. You will be so enamored in this thrilling vibrant read. The story plot will have you guessing the entire time. This is the first time I am reviewing for Ashton Blackthorne and I hope I get to many more times. His books are off the charts hot and he is a literary genius. You have to read this book Obsessed will be a classic and a number 1 before it is even out. Yes it is that good folks go buy this one now.

This book has blown me away. It's dark, sexy, chilling and over all amazing. I love the way Mr. Blackthorne took us on this journey of an erotic romance writer who leans towards the dark side. Follow Jax Paulsons journey with the love of his life Brooke and stalker Sarah! This book had me sitting on the edge of my seat, biting my nails and gasping! The sex is as panty melting as we expect from Mr B. This has definitely become my favorite book so far. I love that he has taken us to the darker side! You DO NOT want to miss this spine chilling tale! ☆☆5 stars ☆☆
October 24, 2017
Mr Blackthorne has took his writing to a whole new level. Obsessed has touches of dark, erotic, and even some mystery, that locks you in and won't let go. I have read all of his books and he never disappoints. He hooks you and takes you for a ride you will never forget. This is a MUST read!! I can not wait for the next book to see what new twists and turns he sends our way next.

Obsessed by Ashton Blackthorne
Holy sh***! This book was amazing and I must say you will have a love hate relationship when you read it. To help explain my statement I love the fact that this book was written with one of my favorite authors and had me looking forward to eroticism we have grown to love from Mr. B. On the flip side this book was very dark without the sexiness we have grown to love and left me a little shell shocked. Don’t get me wrong the book is perfectly orchestrated with many facets that will leave you scratching your head and second guessing at every turn.
Jax Paulson is an ex-Marine who was severely injured in the line of duty. His health issues caused issues with his relationship with Brooke but helped him to become a romance author. We meet Jax when he is little and is traveling the world with his parents who are archeologist. The first chapter gives a glimpse into his childhood when his parents find a mummy in a newly discovered tomb life as Jax knows it changes. (hahaha not going to explain this you are just going to have to read to find out)
Met Sarah, Jax number one fan. She was supposed to be a one night stand to help him get rid of his writer’s block and push him to his goal of ultimate success. It was one wild, dark stormy night when these two met and the attraction was instant. What could possibly go wrong……….right?
As you navigate through the chapters and the plot thickens you will find yourself reading with an intensity you didn’t think possible. The twists, turns and confusion come to mind as I recall the book. I honestly can’t tell you what was going on (because it will ruin the book) since I’m not crystal clear myself on all the aspects. Although I do have some thoughts.
From the very first chapter there has been a nagging question on my mind that doesn’t get answered in this book. The book ends in a perfect spot with closure on the events that happened (for the most part) however there are still a few things left up in the air. I can only sit back and wait for the follow up to this book.
If you are a fan of Ashton Blackthorne you must read his latest creation. The suspense will be leaving you wanting more and will leave you scratching your head. Oh, and did I mention the creepy vibe I got from reading this……..it left me sitting on the edge of my seat…but then again I like this type of thing.
Enjoy!!

A Haunting, Spine Tingling Thriller!!!
Obsessed is a very big departure for Ashton Blackthorne who we have come to know and love for his dark and erotic romance novels. This book however, is a straight up suspenseful thriller. Nothing erotic about it. A few sexy scenes...yes and they are hot but certainly not the focal point of the story. The genre of the book might be different than usual but Blackthorne is the same fearless author he has always been. He is extremely imaginative, a master wordsmith and an exciting storyteller. The writing style of this book reminded me of Kurt Vonnegut in some ways which is obviously a huge compliment to Blackthorne.
To describe the plot would not do it justice so I wouldn’t dare. I will say this, you will be on the edge of your seat the entire time. Probably get the goosebumps and even a bit creeped out. There are many layers to this story. Just when you think you’re sure of what is going on, you’re dropped back down the rabbit hole. The book is haunting to say the least. By the end of the book, both the protagonist and the reader are asking themself the age old question is art is imitating life or vice versa?
October 22, 2017
As always another amazing book from Ashton. But I can say this one was not what I was thinking it was going to be by any means. I didn't hear much about this book before getting the chance to read an ARC of it. I was thrown for a loop. But it was a good loop. I absolutely loved this book. It was a dark thriller that has you on the edge of your seat waiting to see what is going to happen next. It was gripping from the very beginning to the very end. I loved how twisted and dark this book was. Jax is a writer who is trying to finish a book. Sarah was hired to stalk him to get his books sold better. But that stalking gets out of control. That is what makes this book so interesting. Everything that Sarah does builds and builds and makes the twists and turns in this story even better. I loved how you never would have expected the things that happened. Just another amazing well written story. I cant wait until the next one comes out to see what else can happen. Highly recommend of course.

Once again, Ashton Blackthorne has written a masterpiece. Obsessed was an erotic thriller, and it will knock your socks off. It's darkly disturbing and will draw you right into the story. When an obsessed stalker situation spirals out of control and follows writer Jax Paulson to extremes, it will take everything Jax has to keep him and Brooke safe.
This book made me think of the movie "Misery" which had a few similarities, and this intense nail biter kept me on edge throughout the whole story. It wasn't as erotic as Mr. Blackthorne's other works, but the mystery and the plot were equally engaging and enthralling!
This is a must read, and I'm excited at the prospect of a sequel to Obsessed!

The idea of this book was awesome. I love stalkers in romance novels and this was more thriller then romance. I really wanted to love it but the dialogue felt forced to me. It didn’t flow like I hope it would. Because of that, I had a really hard time connecting with the characters. This was my first book by this author and I’m not sure if I will read more. I don’t think the writing style meshed with me. 3 stars because even though it didn’t mesh with me; the plot was unique and had me having to finish because I needed to know what would happen. #2OCCJD

This was an amazing and thrilling book that kept me on the edge of my seat throughout. It is intense, dark, and twisted. It is way more than just an erotic romance. This book left me breathless and wanting more.
I highly recommend Obsessed by Ashton Blackthorne. It will have your heart pounding and leave you wanting more also.

Obsessed is a bit darker than Ashton Blackthorne's earlier books. More horror than hot scenes. The writing continues to improve for every book and the flow as well.
The story captured me and I had a problem to let go...

Let me start off by saying that this book was absolutely amazing and such an excellent read. I didn't think that you would get so involved with a thriller of this magitude. It has to be one of my favorite books from you Ashton. The premises of this book blew me away. It had us definitely thinking and wondering what was going to happen next. Jax was this bad boy with great qualities. He had everything go for him until he was hurt. After getting the help he needed he took the advice of his girlfriend Brooke to become a writer. As we read in the story we catch a glimpse of some really dark and twisted things. Chelsea/Sarah begin the main twisted part, it's hard to believe she would willing do those things. By the end of the story we are honest to god scared...we'll I am anyways. I'm so looking forward to seeing how this plays out in the next book.
Ashton I am so proud of how amazing you are as a writer. The more books we get to read by you the more we become hooked and a true fan. I'm privileged to say that I somewhat know you as a person and I'm glad to be a friend. The way that you tell stories is just...WOW!! Thank you for yet another one to add to my list of must haves. Congratulations on this one and I happily give this 5 stars. Great work. I voluntarily reviewed this book as an Advanced Reader's Copy ( ARC ).

As a whole I did enjoy this book, it was much more thriller and less erotic but it is well written and very twisty. It took me a few chapters to get into it, I felt almost disjointed but that's possibly because we were only slowly let in on what was happening and who different characters were in the story.
There are LOTS of twists in the plot, just when you think you know what is happening everything gets flipped around. This is a duet, and whilst it doesn't end on a cliff-hanger the story isn't completely finished either. I still had a lot of questions about 'the stalker', especially with regard to the instructions she received I'm hoping these will be answered in part 2.
It was difficult to truly engage with any of the characters, but I think this is a deliberate ploy by the author. I can't really say any more without dropping spoilers, you'll just have to trust me when I say that whilst normally this would put me off a book, it works in this story.
I did struggle with the time line quite a bit, days and weeks went by very haphazardly at times. From one paragraph to the next days or weeks could have passed but this wasn't always made clear straight away.
The author definitely messed with my head, and I can't wait to see where the our journey will takes us in part 2 of this duet.

Obsessed is one way to put it as that is what I quickly became while reading Ashton Blackthorne's latest erotic thriller. Don't even try to figure out the plot on this one as you won't be able to do it, it is that well written. Mr. Blackthorne did an amazing job keeping you guessing at every corner as he takes you down the dark path of an erotic romance author. The premise of this story is very unique, there were no dull moments as the plot keeps you constantly on the edge of your seat. The characters are intriguing and well-developed and were written in such a way that that you couldn't help but feel for what they were going through. There is just one unsolved mystery about an ancient artifact that will leave you with questions but as this is a duet series, hopefully the questions will get answered in the next book. I loved every moment of this book and highly recommend it to all. I voluntarily read an advanced reader copy in exchange for my honest review.

Wow just wow this book is so amazing I couldn’t put it down. This book is darker than I thought but he story is written beautifully and flows whilst keeping you on the edge of your seat. Ashton Blackthorne knowns how to deliver awesome stories that make us wont more.
We follow Jax Paulson who is a writer who is hanged to his writing to thriller Instead of romance and when his publisher sets up a scene to make his book make it to the top 1 on the NYT list things start to get out of control. When Jax feels like things are getting dangerous he starts to look into things himself and what he finds out scares even him.
When Brooke is put in danger Jax will do anything to keep her safe, but will the feelings inside him disappear with the threat or will there be more to his feelings than he knows.
Highly recommend this book to everyone.

I can describe this book in one simple word, riveting. Ashton Blackthorne is like no other author out there and that is an amazing thing. The writing in this book was so intense, enthralling, and mesmerizing. The first scene in this book captured me and would not let me go. As you start to read this book you realize that there are so many unexpected surprises, when you think you know everything you realize you just might not know anything. This book has moved Ashton to one of my top favorite authors; dark, seriously erotic and sexy, with suspense that leaves you at the edge. Thank you for letting me read this and write a honest review.

WOW!!! What an intense dark and twisted story that will have you on the edge of your seat trying to guess the next move but you won't.The plot and the characters are so well written a story within a story, it draws you in unable to put this down. We follow Jax in his journey as a writer with the love of his life Brooke and then we have a delusional stalker gone wrong Sarah who is super intense.So many dark twists and turns. Ashton Blackthorne knocked it out of the park with this one and I cannot wait for more.

Holy flipping balls!!!! This book blew my mind and I loved every minute of it! This kept me rooted to my seat and I did not put my kindle down until I had finished it.
The twists and turns had me gasping for breath and I loved the 'book within a book' as we follow Jax struggle to get his latest book ready to publish.
This was so much darker than I expected and I know Mr Blackthorne has written dark before but he has knocked it out the park with this one! Cannot wait for the next one.

Ashton Blackthorne's are so much like the man himself. Full of mystery passion and his male characters are so hot sexy Alpha men. This book is no different. You have a woman at once and unattainable man. But she wants him far more than any woman in his life. To the point where she stalks him.
You will be very entertained and enjoy this book I'm patiently waiting for his next book because they're all that good.
I voluntarily review this Advanced readers copy of this book.
