Publisher Description
The Hale family is obsessed with status, power, and control. No problem is too big their money can’t solve.
Royce Hale manipulated me into giving him everything. My virginity. My hand in marriage. My heart.
And as soon as he got what he wanted, he callously sold me off for a cool ten million.
In the boardroom and the twisted game his family plays, he says the only rule is to win at all costs.
Yesterday I learned a painful lesson not to trust the prince of Cape Hill. Today I’ll destroy his carefully laid plans and show him just how badly he’s already lost.
All the money in the world won’t be able to stop me.
The Obsession is the second book of the Filthy Rich Americans trilogy and should be read following The Initiation.
Customer Reviews
Painfully addictive.
This series is like a car accident...you know you should put the book down, but you can’t. Read it straight through in one sitting, pre-ordered book 3 and am now waiting for November 5.
Completely Obsessed over The Obsession!
5/5 Stars for the continuation of Filthy Rich Americans, The Obsession!
Book Two resumes immediately after the end of The Initiation and does not skip a beat! Marist must now deal with the consequences of Royce’s choice to accept the family company’s shares over being with Marist. In name they are engaged, but within the walls of the Hale Estate she belongs to Macalister. The plot’s progress is in the shared time the two spend in Macalister’s office playing chess. The stakes are high, and Marist is a willing participant of the games she plays against Macalister in the hope of setting herself free. But Royce warns Marist that his father only wagers the highest of stakes when he knows he will win, and Macalister wants one thing - one person in particular - Marist, and he will play at all cost to have her.
This was such a delicious read! While I find myself rooting for Marist and Royce, I can’t help to secretly cheer on Macalister. I really enjoy the first person narration as it only gives the reader Marist’s ordeal in dealing with the Hale men. It makes it really difficult to decide who has the more insidious agenda, Macalister or Royce, and I for one am loving this!!!!! Nikki Sloane has such amazing control of her characters. I really want to know so much more about Macalister and Royce, but it would ruin their characterization which is perfectly consistent throughout book two. Neither of the two men seem vulnerable but enough is given to the reader to understand the hate/hate relationship between the the father-son duo. Unfortunately, Marist is the sacrifice! I should also add that I ABSOLUTELY LOVE the running Greek mythology theme that is the undertone in the plot of this novel. While in book one the focus was on Medusa, in The Obsession the underlying theme is the story of the Minotaur. The myth is interwoven with the storyline of Marist and Macalister so perfectly that it feels like a modern day retelling. Macalister is a beast and he has no qualms about this. He is ruthless in his aristocratic arrogance.
I cannot wait for what’s in store in Book Three! The ending was perfect, with a tantalizing little twist that had me squealing with excitement!
Bravo Nikki Sloane! Bravo! I am hooked and begging for Book Three! November can’t come soon enough! ❤️
