Review: Need Me (Dark Obsession #3) by Cynthia Eden

[Eva Millien]

What the book has to say:

Innocent…or guilty?

The cops think that Julianna Smith is a murderer. No one will listen when Julianna claims she’s innocent, and as the suspicions mount against her, only Julianna knows the truth…a killer is hunting her. Somewhere in the darkness, a stalker is closing in and preparing to deliver a final justice that she can’t escape.

He’s her only option.

Devlin Shade isn’t a man who trusts easily, and when Julianna Smith walks into VJS Protection, he’s well aware of her reputation—the sexy blond could be a cold-blooded murderer. Only when he looks at her, cold is the last thing that Devlin feels.

There’s an instant attraction between them—hot, fierce, primal. And he agrees to take her case. He’ll be her bodyguard. He’ll keep her safe from the enemy hunting her, and he’ll also find out the truth about the mysterious Julianna. If she is a killer, he’ll turn her over to the cops himself.

She can’t let him get too close...

Julianna knows that she is walking a dangerous line with Devlin. She never expected to want him so much, and as they grow closer, she realizes that he’s working to uncover her secrets. But the secrets that she carries are worth killing for…and she can’t let anyone discover the truth, not even Devlin.

Killer or victim...

Soon the thin line between right and wrong is blurred. For Devlin, the case becomes personal, and all that matters is Julianna—keeping her safe and stopping the stalker who is on her trail. As he slides deeper into Julianna’s dangerous world, Devlin’s own darkness rises up. He’s played the good guy for so long, but now his mask is falling away. He isn’t controlled, he isn’t safe, and when Julianna is threatened, he will cross any line to keep her safe.

NEED ME.

Some needs can push you to the edge of sanity...

**All books are stand-alone reads.**

What I have to say:

No one will listen and there is a stalker closing in so Julianna's only option is Devlin Shade but she can never let anyone discover the whole truth not even Devlin in this thrilling romantic suspense.

Devlin isn't the trusting sort, but something about Juliana demands his protection and the reader can't help but get caught up in the smoldering passion that flows from the pages as Devilin tries to learn Julianna's secrets and keep her alive. The attraction between them is clearly combustible and soon their desires are heading toward the hot and steamy despite all the reasons that a relationship between them would be impossible. The strong, demanding characters draw readers in and refuse to let go while the fast past and smooth flowing plot thrills readers with lots of suspense, action and romance.

Lots of edgy excitement and spine tingling tension builds throughout the story as someone plays a deadly game of stalking and murder and no one is safe but most especially Julianna. Past secrets and relationships are revealed which adds more spice to the story and unexpected twists and several possible suspects keeps everyone guessing. The well timed events ensure that there is never a dull moment ensuring that the readers can't put this story down and the well written scenes and details bring it all to life.

The stories can be read individually but the overall connections between all the characters of this series adds depth and an another layer of intrigue to the stories that really keeps things interesting. I was completely caught up in this story, of course since I really wanted to read Devlin's story that's not surprising and I have to say that seeing Devlin fall was quite fun especially after the hard time he gave everyone else.
