Angel's Reviews > Forbidden Obsession

I have been waiting for Samuel's story; we, as readers, have seen glimpses of him in the previous two books, especially in Benjamin's book. Ben is Samuel's best friend so we got to know Sam's character a bit more in Ben's story, and I've needed to know more about Sam ever since... We finally got Sam's story y'all!!

I'm so excited, if you can't tell. Okay so... This book is unfortunately the final installment in this incredible series, that I'm not so excited about... But! What a way to end the series. (Minor spoiler) Everyone got a happy ending and things were wrapped up with a sweet bow.

It was nice to see Sam get his own happily ever after, he deserved it after all the horrific things he was subjected to. And yes, his job was one where he had to be ruthless and brutal, but that didn't necessarily make him a bad person. Even though he doesn't believe he deserves to be happy, or that he could make anyone happy, Rudy shows him differently.

Rudy... Sweet, sweet, Rudy. I loved his character! He was such a great contrast to Sam's character in all the right ways. Sunshine to Sam's grumpy, caring to Sam's aloofness. I really enjoyed how Lee made Rudy work for his relationship with Sam. It was not an easy feat to win over the grumpy vampire but Rudy did it slowly, and cautiously. Not to mention Rudy listened and respected Sam's boundaries... Most of them anyway.

This book, like the others, was very well written. It was like you could not only picture the events as they were happening but you could also picture Rudy's coyote because of the attention to detail. When authors take their time to really flesh out a story, and to make sure everything fits and works well, you can tell they put that work in. And you can definitely tell Lee did that with this story.

Even though Sam's character was a bit harsh at time he eventually developed a soft spot for Rudy, and let Rudy into his life. Even though it terrified him. As sad as I am to see this series come to an end, I'm really glad it ended with Sam.

Overall a really great story, with characters that at first glance shouldn't go together, but end up being what each other needs. And those action scenes?? It was like a movie!

*I received an early copy of this book and this is my honest review.*
