She laughs too loudly, eats without decorum, and mixes up most sayings in the book. Little do most know it’s just a sparkly disguise, there to hide one panic attack at a time.Nobody can crack Gianna’s facade . . . no one anyway, until he comes along.Most see a paragon of morality; a special agent upholding the law. In the New York underworld, others know him as a hustler, a killer, his nature as cold as the heart of ice in his chest. Christian Allister has always followed the life plan he’d envisioned in his youth, beneath the harsh lights of a frigid, damp cell. With a proclivity for order and the number three, he’s never been tempted to veer off course. But perhaps one should never say never . . .One winter night and their lives intertwine. She hates him—his stone-cold demeanor, his arrogance and too-perceptive eye—but over the years, even as their games consist of insulting each other’s looks and intelligence, she begins to live to play with him.Nowhere in Christian’s plans had he ever prepared for Gianna. She’s chaos embodied, not his type, and married, but none of that can stop his eyes from following her wherever she goes.All along, she doesn’t even know that she’s his—his frustration, his fascination.His maddest obsession.*Can be read as a standalone Review: Beautiful book with chaotic heroine and broody hero! - "I leaned closer, until our lips were a hair’s breadth apart. “Why do you kiss me?” I sighed into his mouth when he kissed me with a sweet pull. “Because you’re the only woman who’s ever tempted me.” His lips brushed mine. “Because you love it.” The last one was soft, with a possessive bite. “Because every part of you is mine.” *sighs* Who doesn't love a dark and dangerous alpha that has slightly obsessive tendencies and a sweet spot for only his heroine? I knew The Maddest Obsession would be great but guys, it honestly exceeded my expectations. Oh my god. THIS BOOK. I cancelled my plans and finished this in one sitting. There was absolutely no way I was going to read a few chapters and wait to read it the next day. I needed my fix and oh god it was so so so so so worth the wait. I absolutely adore enemies-to-lovers trope and this was IT. You know when the guy uses a term of endearment or gives compliments in their native language but the girl thinks it's an insult due to the entire start of the relationship being all glares, pining, unresolved tension and hateful-but-not-really-just-sexy banter. But then the girl finds out the real translation later when the guy is at his most vulnerable? this reads like poetry to me. Absolutely makes my soul cry! ”Say something in Russian.” “Ty samaya krasivaya zhenshchina kotoruyu ya kogda-libo videl.” “What did you say?” “You’re annoying.” He actually said: You are the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. I AM ONCE AGAIN SOBBING. This was such a compelling and wildly heartfelt read that took place over eight years. I put my phone on do not disturb and told everyone not to bother me. These beautifully addicting characters commanded my undivided attention and I'm just so happy about everything with The Maddest Obsession. It was a steamy, captivating and sweet slow burn romance and it was brilliantly paced. Christian and Gianna's journey to each other was explosive, obsessive and oh so beautiful. The chemistry was out of this world hot and their interactions were hilarious and I completely loved that. “I’ve thought about you so much you’re mine now.” It was a growl that lowered into a threat. “You’re lucky you didn’t let him touch you, Gianna, because I really don’t like it when people touch my things.” Danielle has become that author where I'll automatically buy without any hesitation. Her writing is outstanding and I need more of her books in my life. Whilst waiting for this book to release, I started her Alyria series and I just knew that anything she'd write, I'd completely adore. I would have loved an epilogue with both Christian and Gianna, rather that just him. Regardless, this book was a delight and I hope there is another in the series. Now I just have to wait for The Girl with a Tragic Ever After and my life will be complete. “How about because I love you, Gianna? Because I think I have since the moment I saw you? Because if you weren’t in this world anymore, I would find a way to take myself out of it?” The way he loves her??? It soothes my cold heart. PLEASE READ THIS AND YOU WILL NEVER REGRET IT. Review: Obsession to the next level! - I really enjoyed this book…not as much as the first in the series but my oh my the tension, the darkness, the obsessions, the banter and the hate in this book was crazy to read. The way Christian is with Gianna is mind blowing and so captivating to read. I found myself getting lost a few times and I just have so many questions especially from the last bit which leads to the third book I’m guessing. I wish we got a little more on the pregnancy and baby as that is my favourite trope but I’m glad they made it to one another in the end. ## Features - New Store Stock ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | 15,593 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) 643 in Thrillers (Books) 851 in Science Fiction Crime & Mystery 879 in Romance (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 52,379 Reviews | ## Images ![The Maddest Obsession: 2 (Made) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/512ZFh5dGhL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Beautiful book with chaotic heroine and broody hero! *by N***N on 18 December 2020* "I leaned closer, until our lips were a hair’s breadth apart. “Why do you kiss me?” I sighed into his mouth when he kissed me with a sweet pull. “Because you’re the only woman who’s ever tempted me.” His lips brushed mine. “Because you love it.” The last one was soft, with a possessive bite. “Because every part of you is mine.” *sighs* Who doesn't love a dark and dangerous alpha that has slightly obsessive tendencies and a sweet spot for only his heroine?

PLEASE READ THIS AND YOU WILL NEVER REGRET IT. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Obsession to the next level! *by M***E on 21 June 2025* I really enjoyed this book…not as much as the first in the series but my oh my the tension, the darkness, the obsessions, the banter and the hate in this book was crazy to read. The way Christian is with Gianna is mind blowing and so captivating to read. I found myself getting lost a few times and I just have so many questions especially from the last bit which leads to the third book I’m guessing. I wish we got a little more on the pregnancy and baby as that is my favourite trope but I’m glad they made it to one another in the end. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This love is messy and intense and I LOVED IT! *by D***I on 5 October 2021* Wow, I really enjoyed this romance and I think I've found a new favourite couple?! This story was darker than the first with both our H/H having experienced extremely traumatic childhoods (CW/TW: sexual and emotional child abuse). I was not prepared for the things this book had me feeling but it's safe to say that I became so invested in these characters and their HEA! The story is told from alternating perspectives and in two parts. The first part focused on the past when Christian and Gianna first meet, leading up to part two which focuses on the present day. I wasn't sure if I would enjoy such a long timeline but it helped to set the stage for their characters and their ensuing tumultuous relationship. Gianna and Christian have such an intense and playfully antagonistic relationship that is at first more hate and that very slowly starts morphing into something much more addictive. Once again, Danielle Lori is proving to be the queen of building up sexual tension because holy hotcakes, it was F-I-R-E! I wasn't sure I could handle the tension between these two as they circled each other and played slightly cruel but heated games but I was totally here for it. They both project such starkly contrasting images to what lies beneath the surface and it was an absolute delight to watch them peel back their layers and get to know each other. That said, I was a little disappointed that we didn't get Christian's story sooner but by that point, I was already so far gone for these two that it didn't really matter (much). I had a feeling when Gianna was introduced in the first book that there was more to her than meets the eye and I was right. Being the daughter of a mafia family is no joke but Gianna has really suffered at the hands of the disgusting men in her life. She comes across as this bubbly, carefree, party girl who has a problem with drugs and alcohol, but her reasons for doing those things were heartbreaking. She has been hurting and scared for so many years and has never felt brave until Christian comes to stand behind her. She was so easy to like and root for and I loved her big heart and strength! We don't get to see a lot of her friendship with Val but when we do I loved their sassy banter and these two really had me laughing out loud. I'm not a fan of the "surprise" pregnancy trope and when hints were first dropped that it could happen I was pretty annoyed by it but I thought it was handled well and it didn't feel like either H/H was being entrapped in a situation they didn't want to be in, especially since by that point we knew how they both felt. Christian is (unsurprisingly) her opposite. When I think of Christian I see a character that lives in darkness, as cliche as it sounds. He's messed up and does a lot of terrifyingly messed up things for almost no reason at all. He's not soft or easy and to be honest, I wasn't sure that I'd be into his extremely possessive attitude but he really grew on me and I ended up loving him! The way this terrifyingly stoic man doted so sweetly on Gianna and treated her so tenderly (at times) really had me melting! The more we get to know him, the more we feel just how much intense emotion radiates off his person and that emotion is reflected back to him from Gianna. Yes, much of the emotions were dark and obsessive but wow, the things they made me feel! Mhmm, needless to say, their chemistry was through-the-roof hot and when they finally get together, the sex was extra steamy. 🔥 Honestly, I just finished this book but I'm already ready to re-read it again because I loved these two and their romance. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Maddest Obsession: 2 (Made) - The Darkest Temptation: 3 (Made) - The Sweetest Oblivion: Volume 1 (Made) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/169487877-the-maddest-obsession-2-made](https://www.desertcart.co.uk/products/169487877-the-maddest-obsession-2-made) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Kingdom* *Store origin: GB* *Last updated: 2026-06-28*
