Obsession

Rate this book
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. The man, Jax Paulson was 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.

Now she's threatening his life. And his new girlfriend.

But she won't stop, she can't stop.

After all, Sarah is his number one fan.

And if she can’t have him.

NO ONE CAN.

Suspenseful thriller

Ok. So I thought I was reading a romantic thriller, but this ended up being way more suspense thriller than anything else. Which is fine, but it leaves you with one hundred questions, so it’s essentially a cliffhanger/to be continued ending.

I enjoyed this book even though it was not what I was expecting. It kept me reading and turning pages. At times it was a little confusing, but I figure that more things will make sense as the series continues. Not sure if I’ll start the next book right away as I think I need a little break from the confusing darkness haha.

I was surprised when I went to post my review on Amazon only to find out that this author has no books on Amazon.

This was a pretty good read. Jax Paulson is a former Marine turned romance writer. Jax is on the edge of worldwide success. He has a one night stand with a woman who is number 1 fan "he should have kept it in his pants". Sara turns into Kathy Bates from Misery which this book reminded me of but with sex scenes. This book was well written with no errors in grammar or spelling.

"His hazel eyes betrayed his dark heart. No one else knew about him. She was the only one."

Ok, this was my first read from this author. I had heard tales of his erotic writing so I thought that was what I was heading in to. It was not. It was something different, yet totally amazing!! Next to romance (contemporary, erotic, everything else), my favorite genre is thriller/suspense, and this book delivered that in spades!! Don't get me wrong, there are still a few sexy scenes, but that is not the crux of this story.

Jax Paulson is a famous author with a wide female fan base. After all, he is romance writer. But that top spot on the NYT Best Seller list has eluded him for far too long. A publicity stunt arranged by his publicist might drum up enough attention to push his popularity through the roof, and finally get him that coveted position.

When a stalker situation goes from mildly unnerving to downright terrifying, can Jax put a stop to it? When people around him start ending up dead, and all signs are pointing to him as the culprit, will he be able to prove his innocence before his life, and his career are ruined?

Sarah Bender is Jax Paulson's number one fan. But she knows the truth about him. And she'll do everything she can to stop him. The voices told her so.

This is a continuing series so don't expect that all the questions will be answered. I'm not sure how to feel about the ending. It kind of ended, but at the same time, it kind of didn't. There is definitely more to this story, and answers to questions that were only touched upon in this story need resolution. I love a good twisty-turney thriller and this one kept me guessing for sure. Give it a try!!

The book was okay for me. I thought that Ashton writing as Thorn Black was going to get hotter, steamier kink. I thought that’s what he meant by ‘darker’. There were kink scenes and they were hot but not what I was expecting.

The story itself was interesting and I couldn’t wait to see how it ended. There were some twists to the plot that kept me reading. I did notice that the author jumped around and the book didn’t flow completely. He would be on one topic and jump to another. A couple of times I thought I spaced out while reading and went to the previous paragraph to make sure I didn’t miss anything. It wasn’t me. It was how the book was written.

I like his writing as Ashton Blackthorn much better.

Wow! What a book this is. It will keep your heart pounding and your eyes glued. It has darkness, mystery, adventure, heat, and so much more. Jax is a bad boy author you can't help but love with tattoos, and so much heat that he makes you sweat. What would you do if someone became obsessed with you? Do you have to watch everything and everyone around you? Keep reading to find out. Book one of The Dark Obsession series. It is a sexy, hot, addictive novel written by A.Blackthorne and Thorne Black. I can't wait to read what they write each time. You will be caught in the web from the beginning until the end. A sizzling must-must-must read.

From the very beginning Obsession quickly grabbed my attention. This suspenseful thriller kept me on the edge of my seat and guessing until the end. Just when I thought I might have figured things out another twist occurred in the story that had me second-guessing myself. The characters were intriguing and definitely kept me on my toes. After the suspenseful and twisted ride Obsession took me on I'm curious to see what happens in the next book.

This is the first book in a new series from this talented duo of authors’. Jax is a sexy author, who has acquired a female stalker Sarah. This is a well written story which is filled with mystery, twist, and suspense, and I was on tenterhooks throughout. Every time I thought I had figured things out, a curve ball was thrown, and I was back to square one! I cannot wait to read the second book!

Wow

This book was intense and leaves you sitting on the edge of your seat. I was curious about the voices Chelsea heard. Is she mental or does it have something to do with that U pin that Jax found as a kid. This story also leaves the question who killed all those people Jax or Chelsea? Oh a puzzle. Thank you for this interesting story, I really enjoyed it.

Thriller

This is an incredible edgy story.
It starts off with a bang and ends with one as well.
I firmly believe that Chelsea/stalker
character came from a combination
from some of his Subs in The Dungeon...
