My Review:
romance novels, to the fantasy novels, to the books written under her pseudonym
J.D. Robb. So when I received Nora Roberts latest book ‘The Obsession’ I was
super excited and couldn’t wait to start reading.
novel and don’t you just love that cover?! I have this version of the book by
Piatkus, and I’m seriously in love with it. Such a gorgeous cover makes you
have high standards for a book, especially if it’s a book by Nora Roberts. So
let me tell you what my thoughts are about this read.
and nerve wracking beginning I have ever read in a book. Man.. I was hooked to
this book and its main character Naomi from the moment I started. I don’t know
how Nora does it, but this book was just thrilling and exciting from the very
beginning.
she was a little girl she found out her dad had a terrible secret, and when she
was sixteen she found something no one should ever find.
close to her family and not good in trusting life and definitely not strangers.
Noami has traveled for years, and never stayed in one place long. But one day
she sees a beautiful house, in a little town and before she knows it, she has
bought the place. Soon Naomi starts making friends and doing things she never
thought she would.
how strong and feisty she was, and how focused and passionate about her job. It
was not hard for me to connect with this character because I just loved
everything she did. This book definitely almost made me cry because I just loved
Naomi’s character so much and I was just appalled by what she had to go through
in life.
Naomi took as a photographer. Nora Roberts wrote about the pictures in such a
way that I could definitely imagine them being real. And boy they were
beautiful.
very slow to build, but definitely worth reading. I loved the chemistry between
these two characters and the way Xander stood up to Naomi when she had one of
her insecure moments, which made her try to push Xander away. Sigh.. It was
just so good to read and I couldn’t get enough of these two.
her life and most importantly she finds a companion in a dog. Man I loved that
dog. I seriously had a crush on that dog. Seriously.. I want that dog.
didn’t want to stop reading this book until the very end. There were parts that
definitely made you sit on the edge of your seat. And until the very last
moment I didn’t expect what was going on. Nora Roberts definitely did another
amazing job with this book.
you haven’t read it already, you definitely should start soon.
