Synopsis
I was the woman who believed in fairy tales; he was the monster of them.
The Devil of Ravencliff Manor.
The Phantom.
Radcliff.
Escorted by a prince, my obsession led me to the villain’s lair, with no hope for rescue.
Trapped inside his greenhouse, our once upon a time began with a flower.
More accurately, with a scent that captivated me.
I signed my soul over to the man who represented my sinister nightmares.
The one known to belong to the cruel shadows, who offered me my perfumer’s dream.
He demanded the impossible: the missing piece of his kingdom of sins.
I stalked the impossible: his humanity.
This is our dark tale.
When beauty met ugliness.
When light met darkness.
When heaven met hell.
A tale of obsession.

When I saw the cover of Scent of Obsession, I had to know what the story was about. I love Romance books with a subtle cover, and not naked men on them. After reading the synopsis, I knew that I was going to love this book. And I did. Shanen Ricci did such an amazing job, I was so interested in the story and the characters, and I really enjoyed reading Scent of Obsession.
Lily and Radcliff were both interesting characters. I really liked reading in both perspectives, and getting to know them better. I really liked their back stories and I loved seeing them grow towards each other. The sexual tension was so good. I really loved some specific scenes with both characters, especially the opera scene.
Scent of Obsession was such an amazing read and I highly recommend this book if you’re looking for Dark Romance/Gothic Romance inspired by Hades/Persephone, Beauty & the Beast and Batman/Poison Ivy. Scent of Obsession was my first book by Shanen Ricci and I’m looking forward to reading her other book. I’m also really excited for the next book in the Scent series!
