Nobody mixes light and shadow quite like Nora Roberts. The Obsession is a compelling story of the terrifying evil humans are capable of and the incredible strength, courage, and heart it takes to survive and thrive even after facing that darkness.

The Obsession is a story that’s easy to fall into, thanks in no small part to its heroine. Naomi went through hell as a child, discovering that her father was a serial rapist and murderer. We spend a significant amount of page time with Naomi in the past, seeing how her life changed because of her father’s crimes. This is important, because it sets the stage for who Naomi becomes as an adult. She’s strong, so incredibly strong, but the past hurts her, causing her to throw up walls right and left. Naomi has never fully healed from the traumas of her childhood because she tries to keep the past behind a firmly shut and locked door. What I loved about The Obsession was watching Naomi grow as a character. She comes alive over the course of the story and faces her demons to come out stronger. I’ll also add that her love for photography is almost a story in itself, and “watching” Naomi work was one of my favorite things about this book. Her artist’s eye is what makes Sunrise Cove irresistible to her, and that leads to Naomi putting down roots for the first time in her adult life. This move is the catalyst for her change, though the timely arrival of a lovable rescue dog and a handsome mechanic don’t hurt.

Xander is a classic Nora Roberts hero. He’s a sexy, talented mechanic with a successful business, a good nature, a love of books, a protective instinct, and has good, solid roots in his hometown. In other words, he’s irresistible. Somehow, even though Xander is pretty much the perfect guy, he never feels like a cardboard perfect hero. He takes one look at Naomi and is intrigued, and though she resists the idea of falling for him, it’s pretty clear Naomi’s fighting a losing battle. They fit one another like lock and key, and their smooth slide into love is by turns sweet and sensual.

There’s a solid thread of suspense that twines through The Obsession, rounding out the story well. The person obsessed with Naomi seemed obvious to me, but – for me – this doesn’t significantly detract from the story because the heart and soul of the book is Naomi’s personal journey. The romance and the danger were solid additions to this, as was the absolutely wonderful cast of supporting characters who charmed me from the very first page. Naomi’s brother, her uncles, and the friends she makes keep this story light on its feet even when times are at their darkest. All in all, I found The Obsession to be an incredibly interesting read that I absolutely hated to put down.

Trigger Warning: The Obsession contains scenes of violence against women from the perpetrator's point of view.

The Obsession Nora Roberts 9780399175169 Books Reviews

Lots of hype. Mediocre plot. This book was on fire at the beginning. Then about one third through, it bogged down so badly I wasn't sure I could finish it. Descriptions of scenery, photos and landscaping can only keep you interested for so long. i really didn't like the main character very well and some important plot points were never revisited. The ending was mildly to moderately interesting. This was a pricey kindle book from a number one rated author. I definitely expected more.
The only reason I completed this story was due to my book club. I imagine she sells enough books that her publisher does not edit for content. This starts out as an interesting thriller, but too soon dives into an edition of Town & Country Magazine. I skipped through the chapter on "picking out dishes." Ther is also entire chapters on refurbished furniture. If you like trashy romance and lust, you'll like this book - and the recipes! GAWD I'm so glad to get my life back.
Warning- don't pick this book up unless you have a weekend to spend reading!! I was captured in the first chapter and had a hard time finding a place to quit for the evening. I loved the characters other than the ones you were supposed to hate. I had no problem getting into the storyline and staying involved. At times I wished for a slow stretch just so I could put it down and get something else accomplished. It never appeared. I bought the book and audio so I could read some of it at home then listen to the rest during a four hour road trip I had coming up. Well, as it turned out, I only had two hours left in the book by the time my trip started. While I was listening to "The Obsession" the miles flew by so the first of my trip was gone in a flash but the remaining half took forever. In my opinion you will not regret purchasing this book. The professional narration really helped to bring the characters to life. Great read!!!!
The story started off really good and I thought I was in for a really good book, but before long it became long and drawn out with too much needless talk about photography and decorating and other stuff. I skimmed or skipped over a lot just to get to the end. Really disappointed after the first few chapters. I don't know how this book received as many good reviews as it did. I wouldn't recommend it.
I LOVED this book. It was just the right mix of romance, mystery and suspense. The author wrote with such beautiful imagery, I was transported to Sunrise Cove. I could not put this book down, so much so, I sat in the parking lot of a Sushi restaurant where I just had dinner and read in my truck for over an hour. I read at stoplights, I read in the bathroom, I read at work, I read until I finished the book in one day. Yes, I thought the price of $14.99 was steep, and I usually wait until the price drops but I splurged and am glad I did. This book re-ignited my love for reading. It was one of those books that you can see, smell and taste the descriptions. I do wish there would have been just a little more backstory to the father, maybe some insight as to why he committed the acts that he did, and I also guessed the copy cat killer as it was a little predictable, but overall I enjoyed the story and twists and turns. The character development was superb and I fell in love with Naomi, Xander, Kevin, Jenny, Loo, Lelo, Tag and most of all the Uncles. I really hope their is a sequel to this book.
