"If you want to stay, you have to play the game…"

Steele O’Brien is everything I hate in hockey players.
He’s cocky, brooding, antagonistic.

I played his game, learned his secrets.
But that was before I found out he’s my new stepbrother.

Now we’re at college together, and I can’t escape him.
Or his demons.

It seems that, for him, the game isn’t over.
He says I'm his to play with. His to torment.
And he's determined to not only get under my skin, but carve his name into it.

𝘿𝙚𝙫𝙞𝙤𝙪𝙨 𝙊𝙗𝙨𝙚𝙨𝙨𝙞𝙤𝙣 by S. Massery⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️.5📖: 2/19/2024 - 2/21/2024🎹Sorry was this a hockey romance book? I couldn’t remember from all the running and spice and boy was it ✨hot✨ This book really pulled me in and I thought I ate it up, but it completely devoured me 😭🏒When you see the step-sibling trope don’t think “Your Fault” nope not at all. This book is a bully romance, it’s dark and it’s filled with trigger warnings. Steele is not a good guy, he’s our morally grey, mask-wearing hunk of a MMC that will devour you whole. Aspen is a strong FMC who tries to hide her demons. Unfortunately for her, Steele plans to let her demons run wild with his own. He’s obsessed with Aspen and there’s so much tension and the outcome will leave you with a huge “wtf did I actually enjoy this book ?” Yes, yes you did.🎹Devious Obsession left me with uneven breathing, gasping and I couldn’t get enough of it! I recommend this book to anyone who like dark hockey romance that’s also a bully romance, don’t worry there’s a HEA✨As always, read the ⚠️Trigger Warnings⚠️ cause I sure don’t 💀𝙁𝙖𝙫𝙤𝙧𝙞𝙩𝙚 𝙃𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙡𝙞𝙜𝙝𝙩𝙨“𝘐’𝘮 𝘨𝘰𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘵𝘰 𝘵𝘢𝘬𝘦 𝘸𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘐 𝘯𝘦𝘦𝘥 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘺𝘰𝘶,” 𝘐 𝘵𝘦𝘭𝘭 𝘩𝘦𝘳 𝘪𝘯 𝘢 𝘭𝘰𝘸 𝘷𝘰𝘪𝘤𝘦. “𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘯 𝘸𝘦’𝘭𝘭 𝘧𝘰𝘤𝘶𝘴 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘵𝘸𝘪𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘥 𝘴𝘩𝘪𝘵 𝘺𝘰𝘶 𝘤𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘦.”“𝘉𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘶𝘴𝘦 𝘺𝘰𝘶’𝘳𝘦 𝘣𝘦𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘶𝘭.

5.0 out of 5 stars Such a hot, captivating, and seductive story

OMGGGG! Devious Obsession is everything and more than I could have ever imagined from S. Massery! It's not even funny how much I am obsessed with Steele and Aspen. He is equally as hot and aggressive as Greyson. Similarly, Aspen is the one who just gets him and is the ideal match for him. Real talk though: this man isn't messing around. His darkness is unsurpassed, and I myself cannot get enough of it.

You would be very surprised if you read this novel without paying attention to the trigger warnings issued by the author. Steele is amazing. He is ominous, perilous, and extremely corrupt. Do you see why I adore him now?

This is such a hot, captivating, and seductive story. It is without a doubt one of my very favorites for 2024.

Devious Obsession is probably my favorite in the series for being a true bully romance. Steele was back and forth with his pranks on Aspen, but it almost felt like he was a little kid pulling her pigtails to get her attention and I loved it.

The storyline was great and the spice was plentiful, which made for my kind of read. The only thing I struggled with is I found there to be some grammatical errors in the form of wrong words used, so that was kind of annoying. But other than that a great read. I highly recommend.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyed this a bit more than 'Brutal'
Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2024

This book was less daunting with the bullying than the first to me. I mean it was still extreme but I read this one a little easier.

The characters were fine. I wasn’t *in love* with them the way I’ve come to love other characters across this genre. I always love books that show snippets of characters from a previous story in the series and this book had a sliver of that too. The plot was good. I do like how Massery infuses her storylines with some mystery about what’s going on in the characters lives. Although, the stalker aspect felt reused from the first book in this series.

All in all I enjoyed this one a bit more than Brutal Obsession. Still waiting for characters that really make me fall in love with their story. Hoping to get that in one of the next books!

Devious Obsession by S. Massery is a captivating rollercoaster of emotions that delves deep into the tumultuous relationship between Steele O’Brien and his new step-sibling, Aspen. The novel weaves a complex tale of love and hate, blending the intense dynamics of college life with the forbidden allure of step-sibling romance. Massery skillfully crafts a narrative that draws readers into a world where boundaries blur and desires ignite. The characters are compellingly flawed, especially Steele with his brooding demeanor and hidden demons, making for a captivating read filled with tension and steamy encounters. With its gripping plot and intense emotions, Devious Obsession is a compelling tale that keeps readers hooked until the very end.

4.0 out of 5 stars because obsession and love are the same f*ing thing. And I’ve been obsessed with you from the start.

4.5 star read for me.. I loved Steele so much. Especially when you got a glimpse of his softness which made me so dang happy because you didn't see if often but when you did.. swoon. I loved that there was no guessing Steele's feelings.. you knew that he was set out to do and he was unapologetically himself and his intensions. It was dark and brutal at times but so dang sweet and spicy in others. I wish there was a bit more closure with the whole Thalia and Cillian situation and I wish there was a bit more depth and closure with their families but overall, a solid 4.5

5.0 out of 5 stars An Intense Rollercoaster of Passion and Possession

Rating: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Heat Level: 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

This is my second dive into the world crafted by S. Massery, and once again, I found myself ensnared in a whirlwind of emotions. "Brutal Obsession" from the Hockey Gods series is a relentless journey into the complex dynamics of passion, possession, and the dark corners of love.

Before delving into this compelling tale, I must emphasize the need to pay attention to the trigger warnings. Much like the first book in the series, this one also ventures into darker territories, adding layers of intensity to the narrative.

Steele O’Brien, the embodiment of everything one might dislike in a hockey player – cocky, brooding, and antagonistic. Yet, as the layers of his character are peeled back, the revelation that he's the new stepbrother throws an unexpected twist into the mix. College becomes the arena where the game intensifies, and the stakes are higher than ever.

The hero's over-the-top possessiveness and jealousy may seem overbearing at first, but as the story unfolds, it becomes an integral part of the narrative. Witnessing his eventual fall is nothing short of exhilarating; there's no turning back, and that's precisely what makes these stories so captivating.

The emotional rollercoaster that "Brutal Obsession" takes you on is truly extraordinary. I found myself shedding tears, unable to tear myself away from the gripping narrative until the very end. Listening to the audiobook simultaneously heightened the experience, bringing the characters to life with a depth that resonated with every word.

S. Massery's writing is impeccable, weaving a tale that is as intense as it is poignant. The author skillfully crafts a narrative that captures the complexities of love, obsession, and redemption. "Brutal Obsession" is not just a romance novel; it's an exploration of the human psyche in the face of passion and the tumultuous journey towards love.

In conclusion, if you're ready for a literary rollercoaster that explores the depths of dark romance with characters that will both infuriate and endear themselves to you, "Brutal Obsession" is a must-read. S. Massery has once again proven her mastery in delivering a story that lingers in the mind, leaving readers breathless and craving more.

Steele is worse than Greyson, but Aspen is edgier and stronger, which doesn't make it much easier to read.
I'm not into bull1 romance at all, but once I start something, I just can't stop...
So, off to the third book we go.

This one didn't feel quite as dark as the first one. There is more concent in this book since how the book starts out.
Its rare for me to like a book that starts out with spice but the premsis is just right with this one!
