**SPOILER ALERT**
Sweet Obsession by Callie Rose starts off with a bang! It has mystery and intrigue from the first few chapters at the very beginning and had me reading on with excitement.
Who is this man with "eyes of earth and fire"? He's beautiful and mysterious and carries an "air" about him that pull her in like no other has ever done before.
This man, with his two companions, head towards the backside alley of the club. The curiosity is too much to ignore, and she just had to follow them. The need to talk to them... to know who they are.
This "curiosity almost killed the cat".
She sees a car pull up and a gun point at her mysterious man. Without even thinking, she does the unbelievable and selfless action that stuns the 3 men. She runs in front of the shooter and is hit with three-gun shots that bring her down to the ground.
Feeling the pain. Feeling wetness of the blood trickling to the ground. The last thing she sees are the 3 mysterious men as her vision fades away.
Two and a half years after that fateful day, with 3 gun-shot wounds permanently scarred on her body and part of an arm missing, she is saved by these same 3 men from a mugger. With shock at seeing them again, she's puzzled by their surprise appearance after all these years. Plagued with nightmares, there was no way she could mistake who they were. Why now?
She slowly realizes that the mysterious men didn't just appear out of nowhere.
They've been watching her...
stalking her...
learning all about her...
protecting her...
saving her...
Why is she so drawn to them? What is this electricity she feels with the man with "eyes of earth and fire"?
There's an undeniable attraction with each of the men. All for different reasons.
The first man with "eyes of earth and fire", Marcus, is mysterious, strong, and broody. The electricity between them can't be ignored. His obsession with her is palpable. He wants to know her in every way. He would do anything for her, except leave her alone.
The second man, Theo, is fun and down to earth. The boy next door. He's easy to get along with. It feels like they've known each other for forever. She knows he wants her just as much as Marcus, but he hangs back... for now. Torn between his feelings and his protective nature.
The third man, Ryder, is conservative, reserved, and cautious. He thinks things through, plans everything before acting on anything. He'll do what he thinks is best to protect her, without showing her how she feels. He's willing to sacrifice his need for her... to keep her safe.
Marcus is the first to claim her for his own. His claim dooms her and she's in danger from the people who wanted to end the lives of the three "brothers". What has she gotten herself into? Will Theo and Ryder decide to claim her as well? What game are these people playing? Who can she trust? Can she walk away?
I enjoyed reading this book. It definitely had intrigue and mystery that kept my attention. I feel invested and the cliff hanger had my heart palpitating.
I'm looking forward to reading the next book and find out what happened in the end of book 1.
This is book 1 of a trilogy from The Ruthless Games Series by Callie Rose and ends with a cliffhanger. Luckily though, book 2 and 3 are available now too.
Pippa gives Sweet Obsession by Callie Rose a 4 Licks rating with a side of lemonade.
