Summary

He's a hockey god...and she's the one who got in his way.

I had a foolproof plan.

Finish college playing the best sport on earth. Hockey.

Get drafted by an NHL team.

Make my senator father at least a little proud of me.

I was on track to do just that…until Violet Reece and I collided. Literally.

Turns out, my plan didn’t account for a night in jail–and the news articles that followed it.

Everything fell apart after that.

New school, new hockey team. And a resentment like I’ve never felt before directed at the girl who set me off course.

Lucky for me, she attends this new school of mine.

And there are a thousand ways to ruin her.

Brutal Obsession is a sizzling, dark college bully romance. Our hero does not grovel under any circumstances.

Listener discretion is advised.

Spicy with a twist

Good character development, good story and good spice 👌🏼🌶️ A few plot twists here and there that made the story grow. narrators doing a good job, easy to focus on the book and not how they read it.

Fantastic

This is the first book I have read/listened to by S. Massery and it certainly won’t be my last. It was interesting from beginning to end and I absolutely loved it. Yes it was dark, but not too dark. Lovely that the last third of the book was nice that people come together(don’t want to give anything away!) instead of waiting until the last half an hour.
Thank you so much for such a wonderful storyline!

Superb! Definitely a favourite

Great storytelling, top notch college bully romance, check out Trigger Warnings though as it's really not one some readers will like. Both main characters are deep and well rounded. love the secondary characters too. some mystery and great steamy sessions.

Read the TW’s

I went in to this blind thinking it would be another hockey romance easy listen… how wrong was I!?!
Almost DNF but persisted and so glad I did. Started off hating MMC Grayson, but was well & truly hooked by the end 🥵😜
Teddy Hamilton is also king 🤴

An A dark hockey romance

It was my first book of Massery and my first audiobook with Teddy. I definitely liked the performances of both the narrators. And I loved the story. It's a solid bully romance with an actual hockey action between the pages. Grey is a brute with a real A-hole vibes and his obsession with Violet leaves no room for any mistake: this girl belongs to him and he will do whatever he wants with her. Violet, despite being a little mouse in the beginning, she finds her strength and she unravels her inner darkness that just perfectly harmonizes with Grey's.
It's a great story, but for me it was a bit too long. That's why I took one ⭐out of 5.

One word: Fantastic

Read the trigger warnings!
I can’t get over this book. The first half of this book you just hate Grayson and his friends. But omg by the end you’re panting 😮‍💨
Beautiful writing and story! Can’t wait to start the next one in the Hockey Gods series!

Hot

Gripping story kept me guessing till the end about Vi's past. Grey is obsessive and possessive, created with a ton of red flags but that's what makes him perfect for a bully romance, bc once he's accepted her there's nothing he won't do for her.

The female lead was honestly pathetic...

I love dark romance but this one was unbelievable in a bad way and annoying most of the way through. It only got better near the end but I never got to enjoy the initial "dark" part for the beginning (and middle) of the story.

The male lead was just eyeroll immature, with barely any signs of the resistant attraction we all expect. And the "hot and cold" aspect we also expect was very misplaced so it felt even more like he genuinely didn't give a shit about her unlike appearing to "not giving a shit" in front of others but actually being affected, even just slightly, internally.

The female lead was honestly pathetic and gave off major "bimbo" vibes. That's the only way I can describe her. I think most of us are familiar with the kinks and dark desires that are common in these types of stories and I also personally have experience of my own but her lack of intelligence was highly grating and the way she dealt with her dark side and discovering it, was unrealistic.

For most of the story it seemed as if they weren't even her own desires but her physiological reactions (which can have nothing to do with kinks nor desires as it can simply be a body's natural reaction to physical stimuli regardless of whether you are enjoying yourself or hating it) gave her the "Oh! I came, that must mean I'm into this and I like it! Do I? I guess I do." reaction and monologue, making her a character who seems like she cannot think or decide anything for herself. Her kinks and desires seemed more brainwashed and manipulated into her rather than her own hidden desires (as they try to implicate within the story). That was quite disappointing.

She also didn't start having feelings for him for little bits here and there as she got to know him better, it felt more like "Orgasm must equal feelings/love.". Which was like "Girl, you literally just got sexually assaulted and it didn't even seem like dubcon because besides the orgasm, everything else was describing that you were hating what was happening!". Completely didn't understand this train of thought at all. 😩 I'm into dubcon but I pass on rape so I just had breeze past that disaster.

The side characters were confusing af. One minute the care for the female lead, the next, they are next level hateful and then back to liking her... I got whiplash from them and could never get a feeling for where they truly stand.

The female side characters were better but not very interesting.

The characters need major work but I believe that the way this author writes is very appealing and attractive so I hope for improvement in the future.
