Everything changed the night our eyes met across the room. His green gaze upon me prickled my skin with uncustomary warmth while my peek beneath his cuff—of a riot of color on his wrist—sparked my insatiable curiosity. Tall and mysterious, Kader was a man whose secrets I longed to know. Little did I realize that the night we met was only the beginning—the beginning to the end of the existence I … existence I knew.
What will happen as his assignment becomes our obsession?

Wow, that ending. Can’t wait for Bound.
I loved getting to know Kader, learning about his past and kind of understanding the way he is. We also get more clues in the conspiracy of the drug trials. Definitely waiting impatiently for Bound now.
5 I’m STILL Trying to Figure Out What I Just Read Stars!!!
OH EM GEE What the heck???? Talk about leaving us with a twist that has me wondering how I’m supposed to wait a month to see what happens next!!!
In this second book of the Tangled Web series, we learn SO MANY secrets and a few who’s and why’s but not all of them. Add to this that the Sparrows are now making an appearance and I’m just not sure what to do with myself.
We get a full picture of some of the agonizing and terrifying pain that Kader has withstood to become who he is today, but even that’s full of mystery. There’s still the question of who want’s Laurel’s formula and why… I can only surmise it’s not for the betterment of mankind!
What can’t be denied is the riveting connection and attraction that Kader and Laurel have towards each other. But that too can be questioned…is it real or fabricated based on what Kader has been sent to do? Luckily Laurel is a somewhat levelheaded genius and I have no fear that if anyone can get to the bottom of things, it’s this woman, with the help of the man she’s falling in love with of course!
Here’s what I know, the mystery has deepened and there’s so much more to be learned about Kader and his past. I have full faith in Ms. Romig that when it’s all said and done and ALL my questions are answered in Bound I’m going to have been Aleatha’d unlike any time before this….I’m almost positive she was probably doing an evil cackle as she was writing these books because they’re truly BRILLIANT and I’m completely OBSESSED with finding out what happens next!!!
OBSESSED is the second instalment in Aleatha Romig’s contemporary, adult TANGLED WEB dark romance, psychological, suspense trilogy. This is scientist Dr. Laurel Carlson, and assassin for hire Mason ‘Kader’ Pierce’s story line. The Tangled Web series is set in the same world as the author’s WEB OF SIN trilogy (Sterling Sparrow) but you do not have to have read the original series to understand or follow Tangled Web. OBSESSED should not be read as a stand alone as it picks up immediately after the events of book one TWISTED.
SOME BACKGROUND: Dr. Laurel Carlson, along with her colleague Dr. Russell Cartwright are missing, and part of their scientific discovery is currently on the black market, auctioning off to the highest bidder. Imprisoned by an assassin for hire, Laurel struggles with her attraction to a man whose end game is to take her life.
Told from three first person perspectives (Laurel, Mason and Kader) using present day and memories from the past OBSESSED follows in the aftermath of our heroine’s abduction, and subsequent imprisonment by a man she has come to know as Kadar. With the authorities suspecting she and her university colleague have gone missing or dead, Laurel finds herself trapped in a virtual prison with no possibility of escape. As she and Kadar search for clues as to the who, what and why of her missing research, Laurel begins to break down Kadar’s defenses, walls he has built to protect his mind and his heart. What ensues is the building relationship between Laurel and Kadar, and the potential fall-out as Kadar is not the man Laurel has come to know.
OBSESSED is a story of betrayal, power, intrigue and control. A suspenseful, complicated, multi-layered and intense tale of one man’s personal h*ll, and one woman’s struggle to make sense of it all. Aleatha Romig reveals just enough information to suck you in, make you think, then think again, never forgetting that all is not as it seems.
** This is book two in a three-part series***
Obsessed is a great title which is telling since there is so much going on in this story, leaving you obsessing with more questions than answers! The twisted circle keeps going around and around when it stops and you think that you have uncovered a clue, think again! Have you been Aleatha’d?
