Deadly Obsession (Deadly Vices #1) by Kristine Cayne
10 January, 2013
I really enjoyed Deadly Obsession. I thought it was well written and despite me not particularly caring for the celebrity world, I found the way in which this story was jam packed full of sexy romance and thrilling suspense had me hooked right from the start.
I loved that we got to hear the voices of both our heroine and our hero. I developed an immediate connection to both of them as their POV’s were strong and had such emotion.
Our heroine Lauren is an extremely real and relatable character. She is sadly a young widow and has had to work real hard to support her young son. She also has all the typical issues of us real women as well as strength and determination.
Lauren is a very talented yet undiscovered photographer who is itching to get more freelance work. She is so grounded and independent with a real sweet innocence and a heart of gold.
Nic “The Lover” Lamoreaux is one of Hollywood’s biggest movie stars. And yeah…sigh…he is yummy, despite me finding his nickname way too cheesy though!! Nic is trying to make as many movies as he can in order to make money to protect his secret and his past.
Lauren gets the chance to photograph Nic who she has had a secret crush on since she was at school with him. Lauren is everything Nic secretly wants, and once he discovers her talent, he decides to help her start off her freelance career. Upon meeting at a photography session, this is where their journey begins which is one of secret fantasies, love, lust, jealousy, hate, obsession, dark secrets and violence.
The thrilling suspense in their story comes in the form of a stalker aptly named NicsBitch who seems to know his every move, eerily so and everything gets pretty ugly once Lauren enters Nic’s life. He has to make the decision on whether to forego his heart for her and her son’s safety or try and find this psycho killer stalker.
At times I found the story a little predictable, yet I also found a lot of refreshing twists and directions which combined with the fab characters and the romance was pretty spot on; making it a sexy suspenseful well written read.
Overall, I thought this book was a great read and it definitely had me hooked, I look forward to reading Deadly Vices #2
