Find this review and more at Lusty Penguin ReviewsObsession is a gripping, pulse-pounding novel of romantic suspense by Lisa Beth Darling. While the author, with her powerful storytelling voice, tells the story mostly through the protagonist’s point of view, but she also gives a chilling look at the motivations of a serial killer.
Widow Helen “Ellie” Makris waits for her lover, a widower and retired colonel, Kevin T. Smith, to return after completing his current private security government job. Kevin has been gone for months, and she misses him horribly. Their reunion bedroom play is scorching hot and explicitly written. Now that Kevin is close to retiring from his security work, he wants to be more than lovers with Ellie and hopes that she will agree. Upon his return, Kevin begins to notice things are not quite right at Ellie’s cabin home. Although Ellie notices that items of hers have gone missing, she is hesitant to say anything, fearing Kevin will think she is crazy. Ellie doubts herself because of the abuse she suffered while married. Ellie is a compelling character, even if I found it hard to relate to her at times. When Kevin and Rafe, Ellie’s son, discover physical evidence that Ellie is being watched, Kevin goes into soldier protection mode, which I just loved. Although Kevin is a soldier through and though, he is a passionate, caring man with Ellie, which just endeared his character to me.
Darling effectively interweaves the Shaw Street Strangler’s viewpoint, his motivations, and his criminal activities throughout the story, chilling the reader to the bone. The author’s descriptions of the violence perpetrated by the killer against his victims is extremely graphic, leaving little to the imagination, and definitely means Obsession is not for the faint of heart.
Equal parts danger and mystery with a compelling romance thrown in make Obsession an engrossing thriller right up to the dramatic conclusion.

Obsession Lisa Beth Darling Books Reviews
I found this novel to be disturbingly realistic, almost to the point of overkill. The characters were
realistically portrayed as real people who might live next door. The setting, a small town in Maine, was fleshed out extensively, from the abandoned mansion to the failed and failing businesses on Main Street, and all had contributions to make in the telling of the story. The idyllic cabin in the woods, near the obligatory lake was well situated for a tale of this ilk, a stalker and his victim. The action, of which there was plenty, started immediately and wouldn’t let you go. A thoroughly enjoyable, if at times frightening, tale of the human foibles that sometimes lead to disaster, and a great example of just how far people will go for survival, both in a good sense and a bad one. Without hesitation, I give this excellent example of a thriller, five stars.

Chilling and Brutally Wicked!
Wow! I have never read a thriller with such imagery details committed by a serial killer. The author writes with a brutal wicked erotic mind so warning this is a book that is NOT for those of a weak mind or heart. The scenes are brutal and contain sickening erotic bloody acts to victims that are so intense that you will find yourself enthralled with a sick psycho killer.
The reader is introduced to Helen, a sweet and gentle woman who has an eye for photographing. Living out her life in a woodsy cabin after her husband's death and peacefully putting behind the mental tortured life of her past. I loved Helen, though she went through a lot she was still young at heart and a spit fire in the bedroom.
Colonel Kevin Smith was a mysterious character. In the beginning when he meets Helen the reader thinks awe she found a lover but then he leaves due to his top secret occupation that Helen doesn't know about. His frequent absences leave the reader thinking that he could be the serial killer that is killing the women in town. I loved the Colonel; he is sharp, protective, and one kick butt military man, but he too has a painful past.
The chemistry between Helen and the Colonel is erotically divine and playful but intense at times. I loved how the link to each one of the characters past all tied together to the killer which left the plot not only mysterious but mind boggling.
The killer is another story, what a twisted FreaK, Ed is mentally deranged for sure; I was so ready to jump in the story and cut his ying-yang off and beat him over the head with it. LOL The author does a great job creating a psycho. When I close my eyes I can still see his heinous acts.
Overall, the story is captivating and chilling. As always the Happy Ever After eventually comes and it leaves me with a smile and laugh because the characters in the end act like it was just another day in the park and move on like now that's over let's get back to loving one another.
I highly recommend this to anyone who loves dark adult murder mysteries. This is one book where the author's writing captures the essence and emotions of the killers mind, you can truly feel the hatred jumping off the page.
One thing for sure, Lisa Darling you still remain one of my favorite authors - I love your writing style, you write with a brutal wicked mind, revengeful at times, and then with bone melting chemistry that leaves chills all the way down to my core. Whether it is about a battle scene, crime scene in this case, or an erotic love scene you always leave me in awe.
