Fierce Obsession by S. Massery

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Knox Whiteshaw is my husband.

He’s also an egotistical psychopath who refuses to divorce me—even when I ask nicely.

It doesn’t matter that I’m trying to move on with the goalie of his NHL team. Knox is dead set on ruining everything.

My upcoming wedding, my future, my sanity…

The man can hold a grudge like no other, and I am public enemy number one. I have been for six years, ever since he threatened me and stormed out of my life.

Now that we’re forced back in each others’ lives, it’s only a matter of who will break first: him or me.

The Hero: Knox Whiteshaw – Knox hasn’t been a very nice guy in the past books, though he is a good friend, and he loves his brother Miles. He is just not very good to women; he uses them and is very selfish in his interactions with them. Miles won’t speak to him because Knox dated Willow for over a year then dumped her after winning a bet to make her fall in love with him, all along knowing that Miles had feelings for Willow. Then he exchanged Willow for Miles when her stalker kidnapped Miles. Now he is a hockey player in the NHL, and he has a whole new set of problems.

The heroine: Aurora McGovern – she grew up living next door to Knox Whiteshaw. Though she was younger. Her dad was the coach for the young kids, and she loved hockey. She was even better than both Knox and his brother Miles. Though that was before she got sick, she had a bad heart. She though getting sick was her lowest, but she had no idea how much worse things could get.

The Story: At the age of 23, Aurora successfully launched a book that went viral. She liked to stay in the shadows though. She lived in New York for a while but had recently moved to Denver to be closer to her best friend. One-night she goes out to a bar and was drinking quite a bit, when she hears some men talking about rigging a hockey game between the Titans and the Guardians. She ended up going to the game, and Knox sees her there. She is the girl he married and refuses to divorce, and she happens to be engaged to his teammate.

I couldn’t wait until Knox’s book. I liked the fact that he was a jerk who treated women like they didn’t matter. I wanted him to fall and fall hard, so he could finally figure out how much they do matter. I was surprised to find out how nice he was to Aurora when they were teenagers. Though maybe what happened between them caused him to treat women the way he did.

This series has been weird, it started out with a Hero that was pretty deviant and obsessive and with each book, the Heroes seemed to get worse and worse. I kind of expected Knox to be the worst of them all, especially after the way he treated Willow. However, Knox turned out to be the best of the bunch when it came to the Heroes in this series. He was definitely obsessed with his wife and when she had health issues, he was actually very sweet.

This audiobook was told in dual points of view via dual narration and was narrated by Teddy Hamilton and Stella Hunter. Both Teddy and Stella are terrific narrators. I have listened to a bunch of books each of them has narrated and they always do a stellar job, this book was no different. Both these narrators sound like they are voice acting more than just reading or narrating, which is what I love in a narrator.
