A stalker, some daredevil exploits, a crazed cult leader, unrequited love, fast paced action and lots of sizzle are jam packed into Hidden Obsession. A buttoned down former secret service agent, Mason Bentley and Cleo Darwin, the purple haired Alliance officer manager hardly seem an ideal match yet these two were enthralled by one another from the first moments they met. Yet they’ve never explored their attraction. Now she’s got a crazy stalker and he’s her close cover bodyguard. Their 24/7 close proximity allows them to act on their feelings. She finally has to reveal her past but Maddie Wade throws a curveball twist that will have you thinking….hmmm, I didn’t see that one coming
This is the third book in Maddie Wade and India Kells wicked awesome (yes, I’m originally from Boston) Alliance Agency series. I honestly could read these books nonstop, and so far, this one is my favorite. (I too have Violet hair, and am a tad quirky. )
This is about office manager and do it all girl Cleaning, the violet haired wonder woman of the Alliance agency and the man she has a crush on. Suit wearing, quiet, and brilliant ex-Secret Service agent Mason Brantley is the opposite of outgoing Cleo. But a stalker soon changes the way they see each other.
I just love the interaction between the two of them, and I positively love Cleo!
This series and its characters are fast becoming near and dear to my heart. The writing is top notch and these ladies are just fabulous authors.
When Cleo is followed after leaving work one day, Mason comes to her rescue, and they discover this is not random, but she is actually being stalked. The agency delves into her unknown past looking for potential suspects, and when the stalker continues to taunt Cleo, she ends up closer to Mason than she ever thought she’d get, and they both fall fast, and hard.
Oh, I liked this one! Cleo is a fun character, who is always in control, and believes Mason to be her total opposite, but I think they are totally suited for one another. They both do silly things in the name of protecting the other, as characters in books like these do, but ultimately know they are meant to be, and won’t let that go quickly.
I really enjoyed the twists and suspense in this story (though I did guess what was really going on) and I always love a good romance plot. Another great read in the series!
Gosh poor Cleo what a scary start to a story. High suspense and some tense action, up against an unknown threat, the team pull together to keep one of them safe while chasing any clues. This is not straight forward and has some unexpected twists that kept me glued to the pages, the love building between Cleo and Mason was wonderful and added the romantic side of the story, they were sweet and clearly very in tune with each other. I really enjoyed the journey and the surprises.
Loved the book, the story was well written and the characters were intriguing. Once I started I could not get enough, from the start till the end I was engrossed I was even on the edge of my seat with twists and turns, lust and passion, strength. The short story of eroticism of sensation. Do yourself a favor and buy the book you want be disappointed.
