The setting in Mexico and having the cartel involved brings the element of danger to a higher level. Aurora is a reporter trying to interview with the Esteban Falcon. Does he have ties to the cartel? No one is talking. Aurora finds herself in over her head. Will she ever find what she is searching for with Esteban? It ends on a cliffhanger and I can't wait to read the next one.

3.5

Interesting read. I think there are a great deal of assumptions going on. There is also a great deal of unclear motivations for everyone’s actions.

This does leave on a cliffhanger. There is a significant age gap. It will be interesting to see how this pans out

Aurora has been obsessed with getting and expose on criminal Esteban however the only way he will agree is he gets her virginity? Will she agree and get the answers she is looking for? What will happen if once isn’t enough? Fast-paced read with intense chemistry, drama and steam. Looking forward to the next in this series. I loved it!

To say this book sucked me in is an understatement! From the moment I picked it up I could not put it down, completing it in 4 hours! I definitely did not see that cliff hanger coming and I can not wait for more about Aurora and Esteban!

[Sara Griffith · Rating 4 out of 5]

From the first pages you are pulled into this story and hooked. The twists and turns are perfect. Be prepared as the final twist will have your jaw on the ground. I need book 2! Perfecto!

Incredibly, very good, I think it should read less unbeliever.

[Dee · Rating 5 out of 5]

Buckle up this is a wild ride, dangerous men, alpha personified, possessive, oh, so gorgeous, brooding all the makings of a deliciously story 😊. There will be guilt, suspense, a little violence, lies, few more lies, betrayal, hope, and of course love.
By the time you’ve figured out who is who and what is what, you’re already hooked, and you may as well give up the fight and prepare yourself for an all-nighter!
Can’t say I didn’t warn you.
This Is the first book in the Obsessed series it leaves you hanging and will pick up on the book in the series. Aurora sweet, very determined, and will do anything to find out the truth no matter the cost but what she didn’t think about was the price she would pay. Esteban sexy as all get out rumored, he has ties with the cartel, he is the man of the hour everyone wants to interview him however, he doesn’t do interviews with anyone until Aurora the moment he lays eyes on her and he may just agree to an exclusive interview with one women 😊 but we all know Esteban gets who/what he wants and once his sights are set well it is a done deal as they say. The chemistry is insanely intense from the moment they meet, and the magnetic pull is something neither of them can ignore but in true Esteban form he isn’t going to just give her an interview with some form of payment and no money won’t do so what form a payment is he expecting will she agree, will she get the truth she seeks or will she continue meeting dead ends, will she agree to a deal with Esteban knowing that it is a possible lifetime deal especially if he has ties to the cartel, and where are they headed? (Let me just say this and I am sure you will read a few more times but I HATE CLIFFHANGERS!!!!! JUST WHY???? ☹).

When finding new author for you and the book is amazingly written is gold!

If you have meet and love Christian Grey, Jonathan Drazen or Jesse Ward, you gonna love Esteban Falcon. He is all of them but darker. Yummm... Lol

And Aurora... She's like a bull in chinashop. She got no stealth in her investigation as journalist when it come to pursuing interview with Esteban. I only imagina if the real viilain is her target, she would already be dead from her first try.

I love the author writing style. The pace is perfect for H/h to get to know each other so when the big L word come out, i believe it.

Their charachters are strong. I love seeing the different side of Esteban when in bussiness mode, private or lover. This man have so many facet, i'm with Aurora when fall deeply for him

The smegsi scenes are way to the top hot! Esteban dominant burn the sheet! I love how the author potrayed him phisically. I just wish the same done with Aurora. I honestly can't picture her perfectly like with Esteban. And the fact the background is Mexico with H/h are native, is a plus.

The cliffy ending? Perfect!
I usually hate when the h take her own conclusion on things and made huge error or running or doing something from the wrong conclusion. But Aurora's was justified in her angst for me.

Can't wait for the next book!

4.5 star.

What a horrible end to a fantastic book!

Estaban is a mysterious man who appeals to the imagination. Is he a brilliant businessman or a criminal tied to the cartel?

Aurora works for a newspaper and has been trying to clarify this for years, but no matter what she tries, she is unable to arrange an exclusive interview with him. Until she learns that he only has sex with virgins. Can she stoop and offer herself?
Beautifully written book about a woman on a mission and that is to find the criminal who killed her betrothed.

With such a strong ending you can't help but hope that there will be a sequel soon.....

Holy Hot Stuff!!!

Aidee Jaimes can hook you immediately!!!! After reading the first few pages of Wicked Obsession my eyes were so wide I couldn't wait to find out what was happening!!! Aidee writes the best dark, steamy romance I've had the pleasure of reading. I was really leery of this one because, in all honesty the cartels terrify me. I'm so torn between loving Esteban and not liking him... I feel about like Aurora. But he is truly hot as hell and the steamy scenes between them are SMOKIN'!!!! There's a constant back and forth that keeps you wondering, is he good or is he bad??? Just a great book and with those fabulous cliffys that Aidee's famous for, I'm dying for part 2. Luckily that is out soon!!! Loved this!!! ❤🖤❤🖤❤🖤❤

[Happyscribe · Rating 5 out of 5]

I am once again slayed by the emotional Mack truck Aidee Jaimes has driven through my heart with this story. I mean Esteban and Aurora's story rips you raw. He is every part dominant and dangerous drug lord, and she's every driven, committed and boss babe you can want facing off against each other and creating. incredible chemistry along the way.

And the CLIFFHANGER! What are you doing to me Aidee Jaimes? I immediately read the next book - but seriously if that hadn't been published yet I would have been bereft. Mute! Unable to read another thing until I could know the truth - what happened that night? Argh.

Epic read folks - grab it and devour it for some spicy and endearing enjoyment.

[Brenda Moser · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is a well written book with strong characters in Esteban and Aurora who have a smokin hot chemistry. The author does a fantastic job building their story and pulling you in. She paints her scenes perfectly and moves the story fluidly. I was glued to the pages right to the end and still left with wanting more with the cliffhanger ending. I loved reading their story and am looking forward to the next book.

I voluntarily reviewed an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.

[Mawgan Dipple · Rating 5 out of 5]

I've read books by this author before and really enjoyed them, so I just knew this was a book for me. Aurora was after the truth at any cost. Be that to herself or others. When she finally comes under the eye of Esteban, so makes a deal of a lifetime, but things are not always as they seem. She see a different side to the man she thinks he is. Esteban opens up to the woman he has become obsessed with, while still hidden many truths from her. Its hot, intense and the suspense will keep you hanging, wanting more. I can't wait for book too of this duet and see what happens next. Excellent read.

[Jéssica Lane · Rating 3 out of 5]

O começo da história de Esteban e Aurora foi gostoso de ver. A determinação dela em conseguir chegar ele, o mistério se ele é ou não criminoso. Como ele fica obs@cado por ela. Os dois tem uma energia ótima junto com as cenas de s#exo espetacular.
Porém comecei a me irritar com Aurora que mesmo cada coisa que conhece do Estaban ficava ainda procurando incriminar ele de qualquer coisa.
As duas tra/ção que ela comentou no final do livro me deixou totalmente do lado dele. Porém eu amei muito a escrita e construção dos personagens. Para uma primeira experiência foi boa.

Riveting Story of Loss, Betrayal and Love

A young reporter, Aurora, seeks to find answers to the loss of the love of her life. But as they say - be careful what you wish for - you may not like what you find! Another job weLl done, Aidee! Cannot wait for book 2!

[Jenni · Rating 5 out of 5]

So, so good!

I absolutely loved this book! The drive that Aurora has for life, even after her tragedy that left her broken, and the price she has to pay to become closer to Esteban. Esteban is such a great character! How he manages to live the life he does, is astounding. With everyone thinking the worst of him. But he's such a caring man, who just wants his life to he quiet and out of the public eye. I cannot wait for book 2 in this fabulous duet.

[Jamie · Rating 5 out of 5]

A must read if you love age gap stories with lots of steam Estaben is going to melt your reading devices . Aurora is a force to reckon with when it comes to wanting to land a interview that no other has been able to get. Warning does end on a cliffhanger. I however am not so patiently wanting book 2 in the duet .

OH. MY. WICKED OBSESSION. This book is phenomenal. It has really steamy scenes, intense scenes and a huge twist that ends on a cliff hanger. This book will have you glued to it from the first paragraph. Aurora and Esteban have one of the best stories I have ever read. This book will leave you with a big book hangover and dying to know what happens nexts.

[Jeanne Richardson · Rating 5 out of 5]

I've read several books written by Aidee Jaimes; she is becoming one of my favorite authors. I can’t wait to read more of her books.

This is the first book in the Obsessed Duet; the story continues to the next book and must be read in order.

A mafia themed book that had me captivated from the beginning. The characters were amazing as the story played out. I couldn’t decide if I bought into the drama though because there was just something that had me questioning his actions. It was a very entertaining read.

[Charlene Gaskins · Rating 4 out of 5]

Great start to the duet. Both Estevan's and Aurora's characters are unveiled in a gradual, but well developed first book that encompasses a different kind of revenge plot. Both characters have their own agenda's, especially Aurora; with both Estevan and Aurora playing a game of cat and mouse. Their attraction/lust for one another grows considerably in book one while each are holding certain secrets close to their chests. Aurora is trying to piece together the death of her fiancé Raul while trying to to uncover who Estevan really is and his connection to the criminal underworld in Mexico. She suspects that he is involved, but doesn't have the evidence to prove his involvement and the likelihood that he may have had something to do with Raul's death. As an investigative reporter she steadfastly attempts to turn over every leaf. I like the dynamic of both characters and the twists and turns in this book kept me engaged as a reader.

A very captivating and interesting first book of this series.

Cliffhanger!

What a cliffhanger. Sweet Aurora and Powerful Estaban! I can’t wait to see what happens to these two in Book 2. I loved watching them fall in love and I can’t wait for them to fight to keep it! Onto the next one!!!

Powerful

This book is full of passion, betrayal, hatred, and love. You don't know what to expect, and again, the twist at the end, as always, leaves you shocked. Never expected that!
Really good read
