This book. These words. Hunter and Roe. I need more, I need it all.
Reading the last words of this book left me inhaling every last bit of oxygen I could, but I don’t feel like I’ll be able to exhale until I get their ending. My heart raced with every page, I needed to devour every word. Immediately captured by Hunter and Roe, I dove into the deep end without pause and never wanted to come up for air.
CoraLee June, for me, is one of those authors whose books I love just a little bit more than the last. She grows and matures as an author with each new book and it’s so easy for me to get lost in her worlds, but none more so than that of the Bullets. Granted ALO is loosely tied in, but I’m so greedy for this universe that I’ll gladly take whatever I can get.
But oh, Hunter and Roe, I would take you in any universe. Roe is this walking contradiction. She’s full of these wild emotions, but keeps herself closed off. She preens at the attention, but is quick to run. She’s smarter than she gives herself credit for, she’s stronger than she thinks, and knows that she wants to live. And Hunter… oof. This is a boy born of conflict, but a man set on control. Wildly protective and possessive, he’s an alpha through and through. He’s dangerous, obsessive, conflicted. He’s pure passion, but drenched in blood.
Together, they’re magic.
Their story started before they were even a thought, but their future will rely on them. Their journey is raw and gritty and you’ll be left cracked open and sensitive like a frayed wire. It is the best kind of feeling, one I relish. I love this story and I can’t wait to read more!
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book.
This is my first CoraLee June book and when I read the blurb I was immediately intrigued and new I had to read this book . I loved Hunter and Roe , the chemistry between these two was definitely palpable and I loved how obsessed Hunter was with Roe I mean come on who wouldn’t want there own Hunter, I know I do ! I can’t even with that ending !!! I mean come on way to leave a girl hanging! I was almost in tears at the end all the emotional turmoil poor Roe has been through and just when she finds something good to give her life meaning he walks out like WTF? Ughh ! So now I’ll be patiently waiting for book 2 but I’m sure it will be worth the wait I just can’t wait to see how CoraLee June redeems Hunter in Lovely Confession! She is definitely a new favorite author to me and I’ll be definitely reading her Bullets Trilogy! This book definitely gets my 5 star rating!
*** I voluntarily reviewed an advanced complimentary copy of this book ***
A Lovely Obsession by CoraLee June is intense, forbidden, taboo, raw, dark, deep and full of feels. It has you craving more. That’s how great the writing is. Especially when you get an ending like the one this book has. Gritty and Raw. Leaves you coming back for part two. The plot is amazing and fascinating. I loved the emotions that this book brings forth.
It’s a heart-stopping, twisted, jolting read that will have you craving more of Roe and Hunter’s steamy, tempestuous story. Book 1 ended on a cliffhanger. I can’t wait to read book 2 ” A Lovely Confession” and see how it truly ends for them.
My Rating: 4.8 stars *******
4.5 stars
I’ve been dying to get my hands on this book for weeks and it was everything I’d been hoping it would be.
Roe is a complex character that I absolutely loved. She’s young, still in high school and should be having the time of her life but she likes to keep people at a distance, she doesn’t let people get to know the real her, the only real person she’s got is her uncle and he can be a little over protective and overbearing for her liking.
Now let me just say there is nothing (and I mean nothing) I love more in my books than a stalker. They are my weak spot. Hunter is in a league of his own. He’s the best kind of stalker a woman could want (I’m well aware of how messed up that sounds). He’s not a man that you’d want to cross, he’s tortured, flawed and got so many layers to him that I couldn’t wait to unravel them and find out more about him. He’s got another side to him though. He’s loyal, even when he doesn’t want to be. He doesn’t want to care, he just wants to repay his debt, but he wasn’t counting on Roe and the feelings she evokes. There’s more to him than meets the eye.
This story is so much more than I was expecting. It sucked me in from the start and I ended up reading it in one go, it was just too good to put down. The chemistry between Roe and Hunter was perfect, the story is filled with lies and betrayal, regret and obsession. It’s got twists that kept me guessing and that ending! I love a cliffhanger ending when it’s done right and I absolutely loved the ending of A Lovely Obsession (not long to wait for book two either). If you like a book that’s filled with chemistry and that will keep you guessing I highly recommend this book.
Amazing!!! A Lovely Obsession is addictive and captivating. June really steals our hearts with this new steamy thriller! It’s Ducking Amazing! It’s EVERYTHING! Hands down my Favorite book of hers! ALO is going to bring everyone to their knees! It’s easily made my Top reads EVER list! I couldn’t put it down, I read right through our cookout completely consumed by these characters. I’m OBSESSED!! It’s emotionally gripping with a delicious slow burn that lights you on fire…I’m talking body, mind, and soul! “Prettiest Debt” oh my heart! This book packs on He// of an emotional punch! I knew I was a goner from the character’s first encounter! Their pull is so magnetic and their pasts are so tragically twined together. I won’t be going into detail, this book just needs to be read and experienced first hand. Our Stalker is alluring in every way and within a few pages, he will have you dying to be the object of his obsession! Oh, what I would give to have a few minutes with that man…is Stockholm syndrome something you can catch secondhand?? I’m asking for a friend??? Our Prettiest Debt is phenomenal, she’s a complex character that is full of surprises. Together, they will pull the ground out from under you and steal the breath from your lungs! This book will ruin you in such a hauntingly beautiful way! I’m stuck in my Cora-Hangover and I’m dying for more of these wonderful characters. I couldn’t wait for this book to be released and It won’t be leaving me anytime soon! I’m now craving book two like a fiend. * by the way this book takes place in the Bullets world. You don’t have to have read the Bullets series to read ALO, but if you haven’t I highly recommend you do, because it’s Amaze-balls! *also, this book is sightly darkish, it does have some content that could be triggering or hard to read at times. * But honestly there is just no preparing you to read this book, It’s like nothing you’ve read before. So with that being said, may the force be with you! I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.
Roe and Hunter just about killed me as I beg for more! I adored the dark twists and obsessive stalking. Hunter’s protectiveness knows no boundaries. Roe was raised by a mentally disturbed mother who attempted to overprotect her daughter so Roe’s second nature is to rebel. But how do you rebel against a stalker? A killer? As much as these two butt heads…they also seem to complement one another. I need to find out what happens next! Can a stalker and stalkee find a happy ever after?
Roe Palmer attends mountain prep but the persona she reflects isn’t the real her. She has her own issues to work through that she keeps private. “Sometimes the only way to stay sane is to ignore how you feel.” Too bad she was about to find out her tragic past was going to come back to haunt her present. Hunter knows things he shouldn’t about Roe but how? Who is he really? His past is also tragic. Nothing is what it seems in this dark stalker romantic suspense. Can these two damaged souls find comfort in each other or is there an ulterior motive they are in each others lives? An intense, raw, dark read that leaves you wanting more. I won’t say too much because I don’t want to give anything away. This does end in a cliffhanger so you have to wait for book 2 in order to see the conclusion. “You gotta let your damage breathe…” Told in dual POV
I’m not sure my feelings on this one. The attraction with Roe and Hunter was hot and I love that she called him on it. I just had a hard time understanding why he was like that. I wish we had the backstory towards the beginning because the suspense of them getting together when they shouldn’t only lasted so long with me. After the first half I was over it and he just seemed like an obsessive, controlling psycho to me.
I wrote this review based on an advance reading copy that the publisher sent me.
This book grabbed me, threw me on it’s crazy train and had me reading at 100mph to see what happened next! It was a wild ride that left my heart racing, on my knees, fearfully begging for more!
This book is a must read! Coralee June is a master of her craft and weaves a dark web that you’ll gladly get trapped in again and again!
