Secret Obsession

By: S. Massery

Narrated by: Teddy Hamilton, Alyssa Avery

Length: 12 hrs and 24 mins

Publisher's summary

Hockey goalies are known to be obsessive—but none more so than my ex’s brother.

I just didn’t expect to be on the receiving end of his dark possessive streak.

After a mortifying public break up with his older brother and teammate, Miles Whiteshaw declares me as his. That I’ve always been his, minus my year-long lapse in judgment.

The only problem? I’ve sworn off of two things:
Whiteshaw boys and love.

But Miles will go to any length to prove that we belong together—and I’m not sure we’ll survive the fallout if he’s wrong.

HOLY WOW

I already knew I loved SMassery going into listening to this book but the narrators just really made this book come to life. I felt like I was in the moment just a little fairy above listening to everything and watching everything happen. I will say listening vs. reading, there were some parts (certain parts that require a trigger warning and have one) that made me feel a little different than I had reading but other than that I absolutely loved it!

Great story. Female narrator kinda cringe

Enjoyed this book like the first 2 even though I kinda wish the author would come up with something other than a stalker storyline. However, the female narrator’s male impression is cringey and almost ruins some of the more intimate scenes. Teddy Hamilton is always fantastic and did a great job with Miles.

Possessive and Protective

Miles has been in love with Willow before she even dated his brother and has waited patiently for her. After her heart is broken and she is devastated he decides it's his time to take what is his. Willow is on a downward spiral drinking too much and just not caring about herself. Miles is going to show her it's time to wake up and does he ever. One night of drinking too much leads to a situation where Miles protects Willow in a way that up ends her life and shows her just how far Miles will go. Willow is determined to never love again; can Miles show her that he will never leave her. Miles is very twisted in his possession of Willow and goes to a darker extent then his fellow hockey brothers. Listening to this book gives you a whole other perspective and these narrators bring these characters to life in a way you feel you are right there with them. I have loved each book in the series so far and can't wait to see what will come next.

It was good

I was a big fan of the first two books but this one was ehhh ok… was a few eye roll moments of how crazy it went.

MILES WHITESHAW!🖤

Teddy as Miles?!?! I can't handle it!!!!

This is book 3 and I devoured it! I’ve loved Willow from book 1 (Violet’s best friend) & Miles just tugs at the heartstrings with his love for Willow, before she even knew it. He’s definitely obsessed, but it’s kinda sweet when you start seeing the flashbacks into when they first met.

Even with Miles unaliving someone for Willow, I didn’t feel this one was AS dark as the previous two, but I could just be desensitized at this point🙃 Always check your trigger/content warnings!

I absolutely do not love Knox, Miles older brother, but I know he is book 5 so I’m hoping for a hell of a redemption arc because booooooy he’s enemy number one at this point 🥴

Enjoyed this Audible

My Rating: 4.5/5

My Thoughts: These hockey gods get more obsessive and possessive with each book. Secret Obsession is the perfect title for this book. Miles Whiteshaw is the younger brother of Knox. He harbored a secret crush on Knox's girlfriend, Willow. After a humiliating breakup, Willow goes down a spiral. Miles secretly watches closely, waiting for his in. Their relationship starts off in an unexpected twist. Miles definitely doesn't take no for an answer, as much as Willow tries to fight her attraction to him. Miles takes unhinged, boy-obsessed, possessive to a new level. He has such a strong personality and the lengths he goes to get Willow to succumb and realize her feelings for him are very unconventional. When Willow comprehends that nothing will stop him from making sure that she is his, she slowly starts to accept him for all that he is. The ending was very fitting for these two. We get little crumbs from the previous hockey gods and a little intro for future books in this series. This is a very dark story, so I recommend checking the trigger warnings before reading. I look forward to reading about these dark hockey gods. The narrators did a great job of portraying this dark story and the emotions of these two characters.

What a treat!

Oh, my! What a treat this was to listen to! I read the first two books and loved them so I decided to get the audiobook for this one and am hooked! Teddy Hamilton and Alyssa Avery really bring this story to life! They were excellent narrators! Now I can’t wait to for Jacob’s book to come out!

Wow!!

This story was told so well that it made me feel as though k was living the characters life. Such an amazingly told story.

Obsessed

Miles and his obsession with Willow… swoon! It was a dark read and I enjoyed every minute of it. The narrators really brought this book to life for me. I could feel the obsessiveness, fear, lust, control and love. Miles is right up there with Steele as my favorite in the series. I enjoyed how Miles brought Willow back into herself and brought out the real wild girl. Ready for Jacobs’s story.

Amazing Audio

I devoured this book (audio)!! All the emotions I had when reading it, I can't put into words. This entire series has sucked me in, and I can't listen to them fast enough.

I loved Miles, something so quiet about him, softer you could say. And when he loves, he loves hard and with everything he has. He has loved Willow since he saw her, and he waits for his chance to swoop in and steal her heart.


If you are a fan of a little darker college romance with great narrating, this book and series is for you.
I am going to dive right into the next one and devour it, too!
