One night can change everything… The first time I met Julian, they almost arrested me for crashing his party and stealing his wallet. Not exactly the first impression I was hoping for.The second time was at a cocktail mixer–my first gig as a paid escort for an elite dating agency in New York. By then, I knew he thought I was a total psycho. But for some reason, he still picked me.Me. A clumsy, … was a total psycho. But for some reason, he still picked me.
Me. A clumsy, naïve, and totally out of my depth twenty-two-year-old who’d grown up in a hippy commune. We couldn’t be more different. He was driven, conservative, a buttoned-up suit.
Or so I thought.
That night, that room, that party. It changed everything I knew about myself… and him.
If I was out of my depth before, it was nothing compared to the world I’d just uncovered.
The underbelly of the New York social scene made me balk, yet reeled me in with every sultry glance, with every breathless sigh that escaped his lips.
And before I knew it, I was taking part. I couldn’t help myself.
I couldn’t help but pick him.

This is book 3 in the series and is another stand-alone book. The chemistry between the two main characters jumps off the (iPad) screen. This is an awesome series and this book is brilliantly written.

First book by Emily Blythe and I loved it. I definitely want to read the other books in the series now. Obsession reminded of Pretty Woman. Of of my favorite movies. I loved that she got her rich man and a happily ever after, all from ‘Dumpster Diving’. One kind deed and Lola was led to Julian, and there starts an instant connection filled with a lot of steam and great friendship and unending love. There were also a lot of twists and surprises in this story. I didn’t want to put the book down. Definitely recommend reading this book.
Lola is in New York for a design school and she struggle to pay her bills. When she finds a wallet by a dumpster she goes to return it to the man it belongs to. Her friend Noah goes with her and when they sneak into a party at Julian’s house Lola almost gets more than she bargained for. While there a girl gives her a business card for being an escort in case Lola wants to try. However when she ends up taking a job as a low level escort that is only a companion. She runs into Julian at a mixer and the next thing she knows is he’s calling in for her services. Lola starts to have feelings for Julian but he is hung up on his ex. Will Lola wait for Julian or more on?
This is a great story that will draw you in from the first chapter. The chemistry between them is blazing hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend this book to any book lover.

Dumpster diving to escorting to obsession…………..what a journey this book takes the reader on
Obsession is the third book in the Seven Vices Series by Emily Blythe. I found this book to be even better than the first two, Wrath and Greed. Obsession tells the story of Lola and Julian and how one little thing can change the course of your life.
This book has a great story-line that is well written and interesting. Both of the main characters are well developed and the supporting characters are nicely flushed out and add to the story-line moving it along.
I enjoyed this third book in the series and look forward to reading the next story, whichever of the sins/vices it is about.
I received an ARC of this book in exchange for my honest review. My opinions are all my own.
3.5 Stars.
Obsession by Emily Blythe is book Three in the Seven Vices Series. This is the story of Julian and Lola.
Julian is a rich realtor who has dug his way up to his status. Once a person in jail with a girlfriend who was a escort who he thought was murdered. Once he got out of jail he became obsessed with putting her killer behind bars. Lola is struggling with her life in the city and needs money so she tries the escort service just to go on dates. Lola happens to meet Julian when she is doing her good deed but later ends up meeting him again through the escort service. Both are attracted to the other so they start a relationship of sorts. This was a good read but I had issue with how he just seem to settle in with Lola all the while he had been obsessed with getting justice.
Obsession is the third book in Emily Blythe’s The Seven Vices series featuring Lola and Julian. Lola finds a wallet when dumpster dumping and returns it to Julian. When she is fortunate enough to get a job as an escort (without sexual favors) at an elite escort agency she ends up meeting Julian again while being his “date” for the evening. This well written book is an interesting read with realistic characters and an intriguing plot with unexpected twists, strong sexual attraction, and sizzling romance.

This was an exciting read. A stand-alone within this series. It grabbed my attention from the first chapter.
This book is part of the Seven Vices series. Meet Lola and Julian. These two characters could not be more different on a social scale but that does not mean much. Lola finds Juluans wallet in a dumpster and she returns it to him. Both of these characters have their own set of secrets and a past but their attraction will not let go. The perfect recipe for a really good story. Enjoy!

Great read. I enjoyed the storyline, the characters and their journey to find love together. I could have used more sex scenes but I enjoyed the ones that were there. I really liked the ending and how it all wrapped everything together. I would read from this author again. The reading of this book was smooth and easy.
This is the first book I’ve read from Emily Blythe. Wow! It was suspenseful and a complete page turner. Lola and Julian’s story is fantastic!!
Lola lives in New York due to attending school and she’s in need of money so she can afford to live with Aspen and Lilian. While she’s out wandering the streets with Aspen, she finds a chair she wants from the dumpster. Our heroine decides she needs the chair and goes dumpster diving. After doing so, she finds an expensive wallet that someone lost. Well, our hero lost the wallet. Inside the wallet, there’s his identification and a letter that Lola can’t help but read. She decides to return the wallet to the proper owner. While there, she meets Minty who introduces her to the “line of work” she does and encourages Lola to call the number.
Our hero is broken and seeking revenge and answers. He’s distant, but kindhearted. There’s more to Julian than what he appears to be at first.
I highly recommend this book!! I loved it so much that I purchased the two previous books. I received a free ARC from Booksprout and am leaving an honest review!! It was a great read from an author I’ve never heard of before, but I bought all three books in this series so far!!
Good exciting romance
Very good story, with a rather surprising start, as well as the evolution of the female character. Due to the title and context, I thought the story might be darker, but ultimately the romance between Lola and Julian, (though complicated by the past of the two and a bit tortured by Julian’s thirst for revenge or his desire to know what happened when he was in prison) is often quite tender. The story is well written and hot.
Lola finds a wallet which she decides to bring back to his owner. She breaks into his house and meets Julian before leaving. In need of money, she signs up with an escort agency for dates and nothing more, and meets Julian again who hires her. The more time passes, the more their relationship intensifies, but Julian keeps a lot of step back and for good reason: he seeks to bring down the person who would have killed his ex-girlfriend.

4.5 stars
This is the first novel I have read by this author and I am so glad I did. The story was great, but what I liked most was the careful attention to building the romantic tension between Julian and the lovely Lola. The steamy scenes started out small and got more intense each time just as you would expect intimacy to grow.
The other things I liked in this book was the opportunities for Julian to show his possessive side even when he wasn’t sure how he felt about Lola. She was new at working as an escort – just as a date not extra benefits – because she needed the quick money and Julian didn’t think she fit the profile of an escort.
There are some really good twists and turns that I didn’t see coming that also made this a good read. I plan to look at the others in the series.

This is the third book in the Seven Vices Series but is read as a standalone. Wow, this book was intense and a page-turner. It was hard to put down once I began. Well written with strong, likable characters and an engaging story line. Chemistry that’s explosive and steam galore. A great book. I read an arc via Booksprout and voluntarily chose to review. Grab this book now, you will not be disappointed.
