Amy and Riley Hart have it all. A fabulous marriage, and bucket loads of cash. But when one fateful night changes everything, Amy is left without her husband and also her beloved best friend. Six months later she receives a letter in the mail... From Riley... But how could this be? She watched him die... Or did she? The chase is on for Amy to find a murderer, and the truth about her seemingly perfect life.
What a delightful, fun and HOT story! Yes ladies and gentlemen, this book is not for the under 18's. Its full of scandal and lots of sweaty romps between the sheets... Also add a bit of violence and suspense and a hell of a mystery and it was quite the page turner.
It was quite a ride - kept me guessing, almost until the very end. I figured out part of the picture towards the end, but the complexity of it still took me by surprise.
The format was slightly difficult to get used to. There was a lot of chopping and changing back and forth in time, to sometimes seemingly random points in time before and after the fateful night. But I soon got used to the format. I quite like books that do this when they are done well.
I really enjoyed Amy's quest to find out who "tried" to murder her husband. There were lots of twists and turns, lots of sordid secrets and you couldn't help but get into the story. There were perhaps a few too many characters and a bit too much going on for me to enjoy it to its fullest potential, at times it dragged on a bit for me. But overall it was a really good read. Even though the barrage of characters got on my nerves a bit, it was great that you literally had so many potential bad guys to choose from, all with their own motives.
Would I recommend Deadly Obsession?
Yes, who doesn't like a good bit of drama, intrigue, sex, money, power and violence? I will have to check out more books by Nigel May, and It was another hit from the ever impressive Bookouture.
Many thanks to author Nigel May and my favourite publisher Bookouture via NetGalley for a copy of this book in exchange for my honest review.

Mia and Ed are best buddies, working at the same school as teachers. When she finds out that Ed is a virgin, she decides to help him out, so that he can be more confident when he starts to fancy a new teacher at the school. But when they start sleeping together, what will that do to their friendship? Could there have been something more there all along?
Yes the most OBVIOUS tropes, of COURSE they are going to get together! But oh what fun it was to get there. Witty banter, some hilarious situations, and darn good writing. Loved it. This is the first book I have read from Kristen Bailey but it wont be the last!...more

Noelle has lost her grandmother 6 months ago and is still in the depths of grief. When she stumbles across some very old loved-up letters and photographs of her grandmother with a man named Paul, who is very much NOT her grandfather, she goes on an adventure to learn about her grandmothers life before she got married. Who is this handsome stranger, Paul - who she had never been told about?Why did they break up when they were so in love? What she discovers is that he is her long-time nemesis' Theo's grandfather! When she decides on a whim to take a trip to the places her grandmother spoke about in her letters to Paul, she ends up with two tag-alongs. While she is loving hearing all about her grandmother from Paul, she is not loving the ever-building attraction to his annoying grandson....
Look, I liked this one. I did. It was cute and had some very good romantic tension and spicy scenes. I also enjoyed the healthy relationship growing between the characters and the TENSION. And I loved the idea of the road trip... But. It just didn't work that well for me. The characters were a little too unbelievable and I wasn't feeling the connection of the places that they visited in relation to her connection with her grandmother. I don't know it just didn't quite hit the mark for me.
However, great writing. Witty banter which was awesome at times. I laughed out loud a few times. But no moving tears or overly memorable moments. A shame, but excited to read more from this author!...more

I have come to the conclusion that duologies are fab! One book is often not enough, but three is TOO MUCH and too much waiting. Two is perfect! I think I might go on a duology hunt! Are there any you can recommend to me?
The story continues, Elspeth is now stuck in the nightmare's mind, him having taken over her body. And we switch focus to Elm and Elspeths cousin Ione, who is now under the influence of the maiden card.
I just LOVE the card thing. Love how they all work and the magic they possess. And I LOVE the characters.
But - it wasn't as good as the first one.
Still, a great read for any fantasy/romance fans. Lots of action and adventure, the writing was brilliant and the story was eerie, captivating and so so SO much fun!...more

New adult? Yes, but don't hold that against it. Sure there is a bit of angst, but it is not even noticed behind the backdrop of this incredible story! Magic cards! Who knew that this premise would be so captivating!
Brilliant writing, beautiful romance, although yes slightly insta-love(ish) but that's ok because it was a brilliant story. Held me from the first page and I am already onto the sequel!...more
