5.0 out of 5 stars Kinncaid Book 3, October 18, 2005

This review is from: Deadly Obsession (Paperback)

Christian has been part of the Kinncaid family for years. She helps raise Brayden's daughter. Christian has been in love with Brayden for a long time. Recently Brayden discovered his feelings for Christian go beyond friendship. As Christian and Brayden try to work through their new found feelings, a terrible evil slithers it's way back into Christian's life. She thought she was safe, she thought it was in the past, but she was wrong. Threats turn to violence and Christian is attacked. Her secrets are slowly being revealed. Christian tries desperately to keep herself and her loved ones safe. With the Kinncaid's help she may succeed.

The suspense and emotion in Deadly Obsession is over the top. Very intense and often times dark, I simply could not put it down. I was on pins and needles the whole time. The dialogue among the characters is so realistic I feel like I'm in the scene with them. Deadly Obsession is extremely emotional. Anyone sensitive to reading violence towards women should be aware that Deadly Obsession contains many scenes and recollections of brutality Christian suffered. Brayden and Christian's relationship overflows with love, passion and friendship. Deadly Obsession is a story with a lot of pain, but it is also a story about healing, self preservation, love, and acceptance. Deadly Obsession is heart-wrenching and heart-warming .

5.0 out of 5 stars Great romantic suspense; Deadly-series 3, August 3, 2008

This review is from: Deadly Obsession (Paperback)

Christian Bills was raped and abused as a teenager. In the end, she managed to escape but never dared to do anything against the man who did this to her because he is rich and powerful and always managed to kill those who helped her in the past. After her escape she was taken in by the Kinncaid family who treated her like a daughter. But just when she and Brayden Kinncaid discover that their feelings go beyond friendship and get closer to each other, the man from her past finds her and starts stalking her. Now her new family is at risk and Christian has to face the things she tried to forget for so long...
The author takes on sensitive and painful topics with child abuse, rape, and stalking, but she does it in a very convincing manner and never gets tasteless or cheap. The topic and the characters have a lot of depth. It's an intelligent and suspenseful book that's definitely worth buying. The romance is also very well done without simplifying what Christian and Brayden have to overcome to become a happy couple. It's actually the third book in a series (after Deadly Shadows and Deadly ties, part four is Deadly games), but can be read on its own. At the moment, it's difficult to get (the publisher is selling only directly and doesn't deliver to internet shops or distributors), but hopefully that will change again. It's definitely worth buying, as is the rest of the series. The quality reminds me of J. D. Robb, but it's original / different, too.
