I saved his life.
Now he’s invaded mine.
Two years ago, a split-second decision changed everything. I risked my life for a man I didn’t even know and nearly died for it.
I’ve tried to forget him. To forget that whole night.
But he hasn’t forgotten me.
He’s been watching.
Obsessing.
Craving.
And when he crashes back into my life like a wrecking ball, accompanied by two dark shadows—men he … back into my life like a wrecking ball, accompanied by two dark shadows—men he calls his brothers—the life I’ve been trying to rebuild for myself shatters into a thousand sharp-edged pieces.
He believes our souls are bound by blood, and he’s come back to claim what’s his.
Two years ago, I saved Marcus Constantine’s life.
Now I wish I hadn’t.

Today I finished my second read in as many months. I was searching for dark romances about obsession, and this popped up again. After this read, I think the book HAS really become an obsession for me. It has me more firmly entrenched in its world than ever before. I’m ecstatic I pre-ordered the sequel. Way to go me!
Oh my GAH!?!
This book starts on such a slow swell and next thing you know you’re on the deep end/middle of a vast ocean trying to find your way back to a safe harbor! The ending has me bawling here!?! It can’t stop like this! On to the next! #HappyReading
What an amazing start to this new series by Callie Rose! I absolutely love this dark and steamy read! Ayla and her three guys are great characters and I love them all! This is a definite Must Read in my opinion, and I cannot wait to read book two!
If you’re like me and your catnip involves any of the following, this is the book for you!
Dark, mysterious stalkers
Jealous and protective heroes
Strong, independent heroine
Unexpected twists from the start
Fast burn, steamy heat
Edge of your seat action
Slow building harem
Callie Rose quickly became one of my favorite authors last year with her Boys of Oak Prep (that truth or dare scene, tho!) and Kings of Linwood Academy trilogies. Sweet Obsession continues to feed my obsession with deeply complex and unique characters, her signature sensual tension building, and captivating story.
After a life altering encounter at a club, Ayla is unprepared for these men to enter her life. Just as she’s being accustomed to her new normal, danger threatens her life once again. Passing on the warning I received — there is a cliffhanger, but you will survive it.
I’m eagerly awaiting the next book to see what will unfold with Ayla, Marcus and his brothers. Let the games begin!
OMG!!!! I need to know what’s happening next!!! That ending just gutted me!! For all of my theories about why they were stalking her, why things played out the way they did…I never saw that coming. I just…I need to know more!!! My poor heart!! 5 stars and 2 thumbs way up.
I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie’s Book Reports.

If you have never read a Callie Rose book before, then you just need to stop right here and go grab one and you will want to read all the dark goodness she puts out into the world. Sweet Obsession is not only a bullying book but a reverse harem book too. It was amazing and I devoured every single world. I am usually not much of a bully fan so i hesitate to read them. However I have yet to come across a Callie Rose book that I didn’t love. Just go get this and enjoy the book and have the best time getting lost in her world.
One of the best reads so far this year . Callie is a phenomenal writer and does not disappoint with this whole new set of characters. With a intense new story that will keep you on the edge of your seat. The anticipation is real for the second installment. I honestly can’t wait
This book with everything I love in a book I’m reading. Right from the beginning that captures your interest. I’ve been a fan of this author for a while now and know when I pick up with her books it’s going to be awesome and this was no different. I think this book was actually her best I’ve read so far you are definitely not prepared for it. This book is definitely going to have you on the edge of your seat want to find out what’s going to happen next once I started weaning could not put it down. Ayla, Ryland, Marcus &Theo come into contact with each other 2 years prior in an incident where Ayla it’s caught in the middle of a mess and gets injured but survived. From that moment Ayla goes on with her life and at different times feels like she’s being watched but don’t come into contact with anybody the one night when she really needs help and Theo and his 2 boys seem to come out of nowhere and help her. After that was taken on a journey of twists and turns and secrets but this group but it’s definitely something that you don’t want to miss out on. We are left with the major cliffhanger making us want more I can’t wait to read the next book in the series. Totally deserves more then 5 stars in my opinion and if you haven’t read it yet you’re missing out on a masterpiece.
Wow! What a totally heart stopping ride! This was everything I thought it would be and more. Ayla is amazing. Nothing in her life has been easy and things changed dramatically that fateful night 2 1/2 years ago. I didn’t expect where the story went. I was surprised and intrigued. I can’t wait for more
Action, action and more action !!!! Mystery, suspense, mysterious hot guys, and one fierce, stubborn girl at the center of it all! Holy moly what a ride, and it leaves you with your jaw on the ground desperate for what’s next thanks to the cliffhanger!!
Ayla grew up in the foster care system, and did NOT have an easy life…and that was before the mysterious three entered her orbit that one fateful night. When she sees three gorgeous men about to get shot, and without thinking runs in the path of the intended bullets. That was the moment her life would change forever. Who were these guys? Why was she drawn to them almost like An unseen force, blocking the path of those bullets only to cost her her own arm in the process? Where does she come from, and does she have any family? How is she actually alive, and biggest of all… When/why did the mysterious three start following her more than two years after the incident? All this and sooooooo much more take place in this suspense filled gem! I for one can’t wait for the up! Ayla has a true force of will….I bet on her any day of the week, and can’t wait to see what she does next!
One night at Club 47 and her life was changed forever.
She will never forget the feeling of her life draining away.
He cant believe she, a complete stranger would do that. He owes her everything.
Two people who cant forget, wont forget were brought together by accident but now need each other whether they admit it or not.
Ooohhh what a read, my heart will never be the same again I fear!
Three guys with a shared destiny. One of stone, one of fire and one who might actually be a nice guy.
They reminded me of the three musketeers. One for all, and all for one!
The loyalty and comradery is amazing and I honestly want to add them all to my book boyfriend list.
Ayra or Rose has suffered so much in her life, and lost more than anyone can know. I instantly felt protective of her.
She’s the kind of character you wont easily forget as she’s unique. Her bravery, and acts of selflessness brought tears to my eyes.
She brought them into her life, and in return they brought her into theirs, and now they all are in both my heart and mind.
What an utterly amazing read that had me gripped before the end of the first chapter.
Callie Rose continues to wow me with her stories and I for one cant wait for more!
Right away from the blurb, I just knew that Sweet Obsession was going to be something special. Something different. And now after reading it, I can tell you that I wasn’t wrong in the least. It is absolutely Callie Rose at her finest and hands down, my favorite book of hers to date.
Ayla hasn’t had an easy go of things. Getting bounced around in the system from a young age, she’s had to deal with some traumatic issues in her young life, but it isn’t until one fateful night at a club when her life gets changed forever. Her path crosses with Marcus Constantine and their fate was entwined from that night forward.
Ayla is so incredibly strong, super stubborn, and feisty. She doesn’t back down from anyone, or anything, and she gives as good as she gets. This is a girl who can easily dish it out.
Then there’s Marcus. And Ryland. And Theo. Three alpha males who keep to the shadows of Ayla’s life until they have no choice but to step back into the light. Marcus commands the room with his presence, while Theo’s easy going demeanor and Ry’s brooding nature complete the trifecta. They all offer something different, all complementary to the others. It doesn’t take long for Ayla’s walls to crack.
There is so much going on in this book, so many fun layers to peel back. Mystery, suspense, action, and chemistry so hot, it’s nothing short of an inferno. I couldn’t put this book down and kept needing to know more and more from these four. I cannot wait to see what happens next!
*sucks in deep breath, let’s it out slowly*
WOW! This book…. Just wow! From the moment I started reading this book I was sucked in and captivated with Ayla’s story. I found myself trying to imagine myself in her shoes, living the life she has had, and I am left with admiration for how strong of a person she is. The characters in this book are beautifully developed!
The guys…. Marcus, Theo, and Ryland. Oh man I could say so much about them but I don’t want to spoil things.
I 100% recommend this book! The plot was fantastic with twists that you don’t expect. The editing is superb. I can’t wait for the next book!
“It’s harder for people to hurt you when you don’t willingly hand over pieces of your heart.”
This book ya’ll! This book! WAS EVERYTHING! Seriously, I’ve read it twice so far… (Don’t judge me ) Ryland, Marcus, Theo & Ayla will hold you captive from the very first page…
All the twists & turns
Secrets
Some serious stalker behavior
More secrets
An unquestionable connection/connections
All the slow burn (kinda )
More questions that I have answers
From the delicious darkness to the multiple layers of each one of these characters… to the secretive nature of this new book world. Trust me when I saw you won’t be able to put this book down!

*Spoiler Alert*
One night changes Ayla’s (FMC) whole life. She tries to get her life back after being shot and losing part of arm but 3 guys – Marcus, Theo and Ryland have been watching her and have been part of life for a long time. All their lives are intertwined in more ways than Ayla knows. So many secrets and backstories that i couldnt keep up with it all but bloody hell thats what made this book such a so great. I read this in one day because i just couldnt put it down. A brilliant read
By far my favourite book of Callie’s, and I adored the Oak Park Prep series. I was drawn to Marcus from the start just like Ayla, the book just kept sucking me back in at every chapter. I’d planned to read a little of it before bed one night and then suddenly it was 2 am and I’d devoured half of the book and only went to bed because my kindle died haha. The ending has me desperate for the next book to find out what happens next. Well done Callie!
Excellent first book in this dark reverse harem romance!!!
This is the first book in this very captivating dark reverse harem romance series and it does end on a heart stopping cliffhanger. I am looking forward to reading book two, Sweet Retribution.
Ayla made a decision that changed her life forever. She saved a man from dying and then never saw him again. Two and a half years later he pops back up into her life just in time to save her life. Only it’s not by chance or a coincidence, no he’s been watching over her and she’s become his Sweet Obsession. But all is not as it seems and things are about to get really crazy. Ayla is caught up in something she can’t even begin to comprehend. Marcus says he wants all of Ayla, but his friend Ryland seems less than enthused every time he’s around her and then there’s Theo who seems to be fun and flirty around her. She’s confused and not sure what’s going on, then something from the men’s lives threatens Ayla’s safety and they must let her in on what’s really going on. This is an intensely intriguing first book in this series and I’m dying for more!!!!!
Marcus couldn’t understand why she saved them. To him, she was his guardian angel, and he needed to protect her. In his heart, he knew he needed to keep her away from him, but he just had to protect her. It became his obsession.
This series is different than most because the author made the characters raw and flaw. Each of the main characters was broken, and they were complete only around each other. They were connected by friendship and tragedy.
You will fall in love with each character wishing that they find love and happiness in the world full of chaos they lived in. Everyone deserves to find a person that will love them no matter what. I enjoyed this story and can’t wait to read the next book.
As the name says this book has been my obsession since I started reading the very first line “like earth and air ” the way author describes the male leads eyes I’m intrigued the second I read this line .
The book revolves around a girl Ayla who saved Marcus’s life and now he and his 2 friends Ryland and Theo are protecting her since the incident where she took 3 bullets instead of him . But soon she comes to know about them stocking them intriguing you further to go on with this book . Marcus is hell bound to protect her and claim her his the intimate sex scenes drives you crazy as you read them Marcus is dominant and wants to devour every part of Ayla . Also if you are like reading threesomes this book is a treat it perfectly manages to build up heat between Theo and Ayla .
There are questions in Ayla’s mind of why these boys stocking her like crazy why are they back in her life she was trying to forget that night and it stands right infront of her in the form of 3 handsome greek gods but the fact is she likes what is happening now the dominance of Marcus and stocking seems to feel normal to her is it bad to feel like that ?? You’ll find out when you read the story
This book grips you to it’s pages till the end leaving you with a shock and surprise that you would have not expected to see .
This is in the list of my favourite books right now I love every part of this book ot made me cry emotional horny laugh .
This book is a must read . Read it while I rush to read its sequel or second book “sweet retribution “
I normally don’t go for contemporary and prefer paranormal but I really enjoyed this book, especially Ryland. I can’t wait to read the next book in the series.
