Sweet Obsession

I had a hard time reading this book. Not because I didn't like it - but because I wanted so much more background of why these characters were the way they were.
Brooke is a one night stand kind of girl. Through all 3 books in this series she's been a wham bam thank you sir kind of girl. She doesn't want relationships, she doesn't even want a date - she's only out for a good time but we never really find out why she is the way she is - what made her like this.
Mason is an Australian who recently moved to Chicago to open a Yoga studio - why? He is a touchy feely kindof guy who falls for Brooke but refuses to do a one night only kind of relationship. What is is about her that makes him save the cupcakes she makes when he doesn't eat that show more kind of food.
This book eventually gets to a Happily Ever After but I wonder why these 2 torture themselves to get there. show less

Let's get this out of the way first: I LOVED this BOOK. It's my favorite of the series. Gawd Mason! Yes, I will fangirl and gush all over the place.

" I bet this was his plan all along. Pull me in. Pull me under."

If you haven't read the other books in Sweet Addiction and Alabama Summer series, just don't series jump. Although J. Daniels provides excellent background, you get more out of the characters if you have been immersed in the stories prior.

Why do I love this book? It hit all the check boxes in my perfect Rom/Com reads. To die for, swoon worthy Hero who has to flub up once? Check. Mason is like the perfect man. He is thoughtful, kind, caring and, oh man, can take care of you in the bedroom too. What about our heroine? Brooke was show more someone I could perfectly relate to. Did she come off as a one-night stand too many? Yes, but she didn't think she was looking for love. She was enjoying her life and having fun. Someone I could completely relate to as this was my story. I wasn't looking for love, like Brooke, but came in the unexpected form of my now Husband. It made me feel weird, confused and unsure. All the things you watch our heroine go through and grow through. Oh, and I can't let this review end without mentioning that Joey (OMG) gets his own chapter. High five- Happy Dance!

This series is a must read. Book 3 was the delicious buttercream icing on top of that chocolate decadent cupcake. Highly recommend. Not read the others, do yourself a favor and get to reading before you jump into Mason and Brooke's HEA. 5 out of 5 HUGE fangirl stars.

Female lead was too anxious and promiscuous without any explanation. Too much drama. But would still try another book
