Summary:
My soul was nothing but an ink stain of consequence.
You made me Canute, the foolish man,
Trying to turn back the rolling tide of your dark.
And I drowned.
I drowned.
Gabriel Hallow is a damaged man. Rock star, producer and public enemy number one, he sees his redemption in quiet, wholesome school teacher Noelle Winters. Crashing into her life like a wrecking ball, he smothers her innocence and leads her down the razor's edge between submissive and victim, opening her eyes to things she didn't even know could happen between a man and a woman. Overwhelmed by his generosity and charm, how far will she go to save his soul? And when is it too late to turn back?

My Review:
When I first began to read Obsession, I thought “Yep,
another rich guy, falling for a mediocre girl.”
The more I read, however, the more I could see that was NOT the
case.
The pages began to reveal a deep rooted issue that no one
really could grasp. The depth of it wounded me, so much that I had to wait a
while to actually write this review.
Gabriel is so scarred and needy I was hoping for a simple fix from Noelle. But, I found that this life is not always we
wish it to be, and (though thoroughly shocked) I appreciate the way that Ivory
Quinn revealed this to us in this book.
Even seeming to have the perfect life, under control, we are
all a bit lost at one point or another.
Gabriel’s reckless abandon for his feeling about Noelle will make you
love him and wary of him in the same breath.
Noelle is the solid foundation that makes you think when you hit rock
bottom there you will find her, but she is stronger than I gave her credit
for. I can’t say that my will would have
been as strong as hers.
My theme song with this book would be: Tears Don’t Fall by
Bullet For My Valentine
My Rating: 5 stars
