Deadly Obsession by Victoria Paige (vpaige)
Rec - 5 stars and now a favorite!
H - OTT j/p, controlling, dirty talking, non-abusive, obsessed with the h and intense in his love for her but not what I would consider an alpha-hole nor an anti-H. He's a man utterly determined to have his woman and keep her safe.
h - Strong, admirable (when you learn more about her motives), not a bitch, not tstl. You WILL be uncomfortable with what she's doing as it pushes boundaries. (She's initially a masochist.)
Sex - open door and hot!
3rd person POV with POV's from H and h
Triggers - The h was severely beaten by a bad om. The h is almost raped by a bad guy; and what some might consider cheating on the h's part BUT there are unusual circumstances. (When you get deeper into the story, you'll understand. It doesn't feel like cheating.)
HEA
Holy holtness! Wow! I loved this book! I'm not a romantic suspense fan but if all romantic suspense books were like this, I'd be instantly converted, lol. The romantic suspense story did not overtake the romance imo and I loved that. This is what I'm looking for in a romance! Read the preview and trust me, you'll instantly get it. Here are the first two sentences of the book (& yes it's the H and h) -
" "You like that, my little slut?"
Jake whispered to the woman he was efffing over the sink. "
Yep. It's starts out with a bang! Literally! (Lol!) I absolutely loved this H and I love how he talked to the h.
" "I love you." Jake declared. "I efffing love you." "
This H was 100% obsessed with the h. She was "it" for him. While he was intense and very controlling (he kidnaps her at one point) he wasn't abusive and I love-love-LOVED that!!
He never degraded her or talked down to her except in one scene early in the book that was unusual & he was justified. I loved the dialogue between the two. They had great chemistry together and yet there were some lol moments -
The h - " "I think I've done well putting up with your overbearing ass," Ella retorted.
(The H) "Oh baby, you haven't seen overbearing yet."
Ella cast him a look of mock horror. His woman didn't know how possessive he was with her and how much he had actually been reining it in. If he had his way, he wouldn't let another man near her."
There were a ton of j/p scenes! It was like a j/p lover's buffet.
Some scenes were quite explosive when his jealousy was out of control and dangerously close to pushing the edge of acceptability yet this H was not psychotic and didn't cross the line. This is how I want my H's to be. I knew he cared about her more than his OTT feelings. (He 100% would've stopped if the h wanted him to and that OTT scene is my favorite scene of the book Victoria Paige!)
I also love that I felt the H's love for the h.
" "I love you," Jake whispered. "I want to spend the rest of my life with you, have babies with you, grow old with you. I hope you feel the same way because I'm never letting you go."
I do recommend this book to everyone who enjoys a darker, more intense romance. Even if cheating is your trigger, my guess is you'll probably be ok with this one.

SPOILERS FOR CHEATING TRIGGER******************
***********************************************
The first scene is the H and h. She's cheating on her boyfriend. (Not the H.) The H knows she has a boyfriend and is verrrry jealous of her boyfriend. As the story develops, you learn she's working undercover for the FBI and the om is not her boyfriend. She has zero feelings for him romantically but does experience pleasure with him when she sleeps with him. ( The h sleeping with om is never described in the book.) The OM is a Sadist so she had to be trained as a masochist prior to even being with him. This messes her up for a while and she needs pain to "get off". The H is not a sadist.
