Carnival Obsession: A Dark Romance (Carnival Series) Kindle Edition

4.2 out of 5 stars 1,182 ratings

The carnival rolled into town, bringing an obsession so powerful that it threatened to unravel my entire existence.

Seeking an escape from my monotonous life in Willow Creek, I eagerly stepped into the carnival's vibrant chaos, unaware that everything was about to change. I was simply chasing a thrill, never expecting to stumble into the arms of Lars—a captivating mechanic shrouded in mystery.

But a dark underworld of secrets and shadows lurks beneath the carnival's dazzling facade. The deeper I fall into Lars's enigmatic world, the more I realize that love can be as intoxicating as it is dangerous. Lars teeters on the edge between passion and obsession, and our connection threatens to overwhelm us.

With each reckless adventure, I'm torn between the exhilarating allure of his world and the terrifying fear of losing my own. As our relationship intensifies, I'm forced to confront a haunting question: can love survive amidst the chaos, or will I be lost forever in his darkness?

Step right up, if you dare, because this thrilling ride is about to begin.

Carnival Obsession is a dark romance novella with heavy subjects that some readers may find triggering. There will be a link to a full list of the trigger warnings at the beginning of the book. This story has no cliffhanger and ends with a HEA.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

I've always been drawn to the darkness in fiction, finding beauty in the forbidden and thrill in the dangerous. My stories? They're an exploration of darkness, filled with mysterious masked men, fearless heroines, and spice that'll set your Kindles ablaze.

Ever since I can remember, I've been captivated by the darker side of romance in fiction. It’s necessary to add I don’t condone these kind of relationships in real life. However, the intoxicating chase, the deadly dance, the heart-racing fear, and an irresistible attraction in fiction I adore. My fascination led me to write these short stories, blending heart-stopping fear with blazing heat and passion.

I exclusively publish on Amazon, providing a thrilling escape for those who dare to venture into the dark side of love and lust. If you've read my book and found yourself wanting more, follow me on Amazon or social media for updates on my next dark novella release. Your adventure is only a page flip away.

    I really liked it, but not as much as the first one with cade. This was more romance and less dark thriller but I still absolutely loved it.

    There was something missing with Lars and Alice for me. I can’t put my finger on it. Sometimes I could feel their chemistry and other times it lacked.

    Lars was possessive and obsessed with Alice. I wish I liked this one more.

    Love Lars! He is as demanding as Cage but not quite as psychotic. He won't give up Alice! Although he says he is an open book he is still hiding something and it may end them, read and find out

    UGH I don't know how I did not recognize this series of books for what they are:

    Immediate dark masked men satisfaction.

    You shouldn't want them. You shouldn't want their darkness. You *should* fear them. And maybe to a certain extent, you do. But then they get under your skin and take hold, drawing you right into the darkness right along with them and you're a goner after that. Claiming one of them, or having them claim you, means the rest of your life? Is no longer in your hands.

    In book 2 of this series, you meet Lars and Alice. Alice is your average girl, works behind a desk by day and yearns for *something* at night but it's never really been had a voice before. It's Lars' obsession with her that suddenly makes her see just what she's longing for, even if she questions it every step of the way.

    Every kiss, every ride on the back of his back with the hum of it thrumming between her thighs, every moment of chase; it all leads up to a fantastic, and orgasmic, ending to yet another of Selena Winters' books. Ugh, 10 out of 10. Yes and yes, read it!

    Good story potential, with good plot points, but I couldn't really get into it. Felt like the writer rushed it. Could be drawn out with more attention to detail.

    What another cracking story by Selena! She is such a brilliantly talented storyteller! I adored Lars, but I adore all of Selena's men. She sure knows how to write them unhinged and walking red flags of hotness! And the spice! Holy smokes! I need a bucket of ice water dumped on me to put out the fire!
    I'm looking forward to what comes next from Selena. She's one of my favourite one-click authors.

    A game of cat and mouse, Carnie Style of course!
    With each new story, my obsession for this series grows. Lars is beautifully unhinged and a whole lot possessive, true touch her and 💀. Throw in some romance with the stalking and *swoon*
    Gives me Fear (Mark Whalberg) kinda vibes.
