4 for Obsessed by Bella Winter’s. This is a taboo sort of romance with a dark edge. Peter and Emily used to be step siblings but they haven’t talked to each other in years. Emily has longed for Peter all this time but doesn’t have any idea where he is. Now Emily thinks she has a stalker and Peter is the man in charge at the police station. These two are thrown together and all the good stuff happens. . Ok so this book has the taboo element we all love with added suspense . It kept me guess until the end . I loved every page of this book . Also I love how Bella took a mundane name like Peter and turned it into a bada** name in this book .
after seeing the blurb on this book, i decided to give it a go. i wasnt disappointed. two people who once called each other brother and sister are thrown back into each others lives when emily gets a creeping feeling she’s being watched. peter wanting a collection to something other than his job, finds himself taking on more than a new case with emily comes back into his life. i loved peter’s protectiveness and the way he would do anything for the woman he loves. heather and emily were fun to read a great dynamic of friendship.
Young Love Grows Up
Young love can be the love of a lifetime. When Emily McAfee, UMass pre-med senior, first meet Peter ten years earlier, her affection and attraction for her older, adolescent stepbrother, could best be called puppy love. She tagged along behind him, basking in his tolerance and kindness. When her mother and Peter’s father spilt a short 3 years later, the mutual affection between the stepsiblings still existed, but it could never be called brotherly or sisterly, but not romantic either. Even now, despite years of separation, loosing contact and knowing that her actions were futile, Emily still sent texts of affection to the last number she had for Peter, hoping that her thoughts of love and good could reach him.
Peter’s last 10 years were focused on becoming a better, more honorable man than his father was. He had watched his father destroy relationships through his self-focus and dishonesty. He remembered how the only time he had felt a part of a loving family were the years when his father was married to Emily’s mother. But his father had shattered that happy time with his repeated infidelity. His rejection of his father’s actions and dishonesty set Peter on a path as distant from that of his father as he could go. As a result, he became a police officer, and a very good one at that, so much so that he has become the youngest Chief of Police in decades.
Fate brings Emily and Peter together after 10 years of absence and longing. Emily has attracted the attentions of a stalker—a casual acquaintance with a fellow student, Trevor, has turned into a horror movie. After bizarre and creepy texts, Trevor oversteps and actually enters Emily’s apartment, leaving her a message of twisted devotion scratched into a window. When Emily calls on the local police for help, who does she encounter but Peter, and her heart awakens, not with the affection of a child, but with the passion of an adult woman. Now, neither is now a child, and neither considers the other a sibling. Forced by fate into a close and intense encounter, love has the opportunity to emerge in an adult version—no puppy love this time. However, barriers and traps await as Emily and Peter navigate love as adults, facing push backs from their parents and the continuing threat of the stalker.
Bella Winters’ Obsessed offers the reader a second chance romance filled with emotion, as love and fear take the reader on a wild ride. This is a novel for a quick trip into a passionate world with a HEA ending.
