Juicy - a must read!

I started this book 2 days ago and can't put it down. A must read! Read her other books as well - you won't be disappointed!

Good Book

It was a good book! I enjoyed it, though predictable and a tad bit unrealistic, it offers a great escape from your everyday life to indulge in some drama! It definitely was a page turner. The steamy scenes mesh well with the main point. "Obsession" gives you exactly what you paid for. A nice lil somethin somethin to keep your interests peeked. I would recommend to any fans of African American fiction

Obession

This book had me thinking about the statement '2 wrongs don't make a right' and also 'what looks good and feels good to you may end up being bad for you'. Sophie comes back from a cruise with her best friend and is told by her husband that he had a affair. He apologizes and begs her forgiveness and even tells her that she can have a affair if it will help them get back together. She tells him to leave and he calls her best friend to come and look out for her. Her best friend convinces her to go out and she may meet someone who she may want to have a affair or at least just go out to have some fun to cheer her up. Well, she does meet someone and feels a quick connection. His name is Peter and he treats her like she wants to be treated in and out of bed but he has a dark side that comes out that has her becoming afraid of him. She just wanted a quick affair but Peter is playing for keeps. This book will keep you on the edge of your seat when you read how far Peter will go to keep her and the ending will shock you. Yes you must be careful what you lust for because it may cost you more than you are willing to pay.

The Affair..

I picked this book up on my way to work just to have something to read and I was highly surprised at how good it was! I was drawn in from the first chapter. Sophie has been married to a man she loves and adores for eight years, but her world starts to slowly fall apart when her husband confesses that he's been having an affair. Expereince the different emotions Sophie goes through as she ponders over whether to forgive her husband or accept his offer to even the score-"Sleep with another man, but don't leave me." From the first page to the last Obsession was an EMOTIONAL rollercoaster ride..and the sex..OMG...I had to put the book down a few times to cool myself off! Kayla Perrin definitely stepped her game up with this one!

terrific contemporary erotic character study

In the Kissimmee area, teacher Sophie Gibson had thought her marriage was perfect. Thus she is stunned when her spouse Andrew rejects sex with her and soon he confesses he had an affair while she was away with her best friend Marnie. Sophie throws Andrew out and she goes through the phases of grief. First she is in denial; then in shock; and finally she considers having an affair though she has no candidates and besides a lover seems seedy and unsatisfactory. She begins to reconsider taking on a lover when Sophie meets brooding filmmaker Pietro call me Peter at the Blue's Club. Peter is blatant as to his attraction for Sophie and persuades her to share his bed. The sex is the best of her life not that she has had many mates to boast about. Peter fulfills her wildest fantasies. However, he is also demanding of her time and frighteningly morose and temperamental. Scared he might hurt her as she rejects some of his demands, Sophie ends their relationship, but Peter refuses to accept her finale insistence it is over between them. This is a terrific contemporary erotic character study starring a wonderful lead character struggling with betrayal and OBSESSION. The story line is driven by Sophie whose anger leads to her seeking solace elsewhere even though readers will not agree with her actions. Although the climax seems over the top with too easy of a resolution, fans will enjoy Sophie's groove taking her deeper into trouble. Harriet Klausner
