Review: Obsession

Obsession Obsession by Patricia Bradley
My rating: 💛💛💛💛

I enjoyed this second story a lot more than the first. Both had the same level of suspense and fast paced action, but this one didn't feel so rushed at the end than how I found the first book ended.

The suspense started early on and with quite a bang and never really fell flat. The balance between the action and following the evidence was well done and I was totally invested in trying to figure out who the stalker was (anyone of three main suspects) and seeing how the cold case will end. With Emma I hoped for a different ending. The author kept me on my toes with three main suspects and even though I had strong gut feels towards one (or two), I was confused a lot with things happening at specific times.

I was frustrated with Emma a few times, especially with an action towards the end. Seriously. I adored Sam and sort of felt like he deserved better, but the two of them was also great together.

There were a few things which I did not feel 100% closure with by the end which is why I'm not giving 5 stars. Things which were hinted off during the story but I don't feel that I really got a clear conclusion towards the end.

Highly recommended to fans of Romantic Suspense.

About the book:


Natchez Trace Ranger and historian Emma Winters hoped never to see Sam Ryker again after she broke off her engagement to him. But when shots are fired at her at a historical landmark just off the Natchez Trace, she's forced to work alongside Sam as the Natchez Trace law enforcement district ranger in the ensuing investigation. To complicate matters, Emma has acquired a delusional secret admirer who is determined to have her as his own. Sam is merely an obstruction, one which must be removed.

Sam knows that he has failed Emma in the past and he doesn't intend to let her down again. Especially since her life is on the line. As the threads of the investigation cross and tangle with their own personal history, Sam and Emma have a chance to discover the truth, not only about the victim but about what went wrong in their relationship.
