Carnal Obsession: His Heart's Prisoner

by Reily Garrett

Often when I see that a book is part of a series that I haven’t read anything from I’m reluctant to start but I don’t think I missed much because this stood tall all on its own.

So what did I like about this story, well that is easy …what I liked most was the detail.

The characterisation, the attitude, the flow and the intrigue, the whole book was just addictive.

Superbly written, the author ensured that there was nothing left to chance. Her attention to the finer points of the story ensured that this was a book that quite simply made it impossible to put down.

The story was cleverly divulged, slowly unfolding across each and every page, the author astutely unveiling not only the major players and primary characters but also the reasoning behind the direction that the story was veering towards. I spent so much of my time trying to figure out what was going on that by the time the mist cleared, I was facing an OMG moment.

I think the author was very sneaky with when and how she let the facts loose! Bravo!!

The interaction between the two main protagonists was catchy, they worked well together and I was keen to see where what they had was heading but that was very much my feeling towards the whole book…I just wanted to see where it was heading. By the time the story was drawing to a close I felt as if I had been trampled by a heard of wildebeest, I was bulldozed by the finish that the author unleashed but I have to admit that for the story it was just what the characters needed, it was perfect.

Did I want more from the story, well selfishly yes? But that doesn’t mean that I think the author should have done anything differently.

With other books in the series to unearth, this is an author that I am delighted to now add to my automatic TBR list.
