Books Need TLC: Obligation 5 Star Review, Excerpt & Giveaway! by @auroraroseR @RSofRomance

[ob-li-gey-shuh n]

An obligation is a course of action that someone is required to take, whether legal or moral.

At six years old, Myla was sent to a family her father and mother had chosen for her when they knew their time on earth was almost up. What they were unaware of was what they thought would be her safe haven would become her living hell.

Kai has been watching Myla from afar since he took over the family business from his father and inherited the responsibility of keeping her safe. When word gets back to Kai that Myla is not only in danger, but that his assets are being compromised, he immediately jumps into action and does the only thing that can be done at the time by marrying her.

Neither Myla nor Kai would have thought that something that started off as a farce would become the most important thing either of them could've ever done.

I have read Aurora Rose Reynolds from the very beginning and every book that releases, I become more and more addicted to her! I never cease to fall in love with her characters. Her heroes are the yummiest alphas, possessive and dominant, and her heroines are strong confident women. But, they all have a flipside that makes them well rounded, the men are also loving and romantic, determined to do everything they can to make their women happy and safe. The ladies are at ease with giving up their control from time to tome and letting their men take care of them.

Kai is a fascinating hero. We are first introduced to him in Until Trevor, the second book in her Until Series. In the book, he states that he is not a good guy, but his actions speak otherwise. In Obligation, we are given the opportunity to see where the good guy and the bad guy meet to create a man who is just tough enough to do what needs to be done, causing some to cast him as a villain. However, his driving force eventually becomes clear, and along the way, I fell in love with his generosity, his dedication, and the fierceness in his love for Myla. He is determined to change for her, to protect her and be a man that she can lean on without the fear of evil that currently stalks him. He definitely has a dark side and at times, his actions are questionable, but his reasons are just and between that and the man he is for Myla, I couldn’t help but fall quickly in love with him.

Myla is a fabulous heroine. I was rooting for her from the first page. She has a devastating past that has shaped for the good and the bad. Despite having her world crumble at her feet, she finds moments of happiness and I enjoyed her playful sense of humor. She has to deal with trial after trial and she handles them with more grace and strength than I would if the situation were mine. She is honest and honorable, dependable and loving. She doesn’t trust Kai immediately and it only serves to show the reader that she isn’t naïve, but that she has the ability to accept what she feels for him after a while, safe, protected, loved.

These two are definitely high on my favorites list. Their relationship is full of steamy desire and a magnetism that keeps them devoted to each other. But, there is also such sweetness and adoration, they made me feel warm and fuzzy in one scene, and singed by their passion in the next. I couldn’t help but be glued to every page, desperate to see what would happen next. I wanted so badly for these two to find their HEA, but at the same time, I dreaded it, knowing that the book would then be over.

If you haven’t read any books by Aurora Rose Reynolds, DO IT NOW! Obligation can easily be read as a standalone, however I recommend reading the Until Series and the first book in the spinoff series, The Underground Kings, whether it’s before or after you read Obligation. Suggest…what am I thinking? You MUST read this author’s books! I’ve loved every single one and Obligation is no different. It has earned its spot high up on my re-read list. I eagerly await the next story from this brilliant author and until then, I’ll be devouring all the ones before it. 10 Stars all the way!

“Everyone is looking for you.”

I turn my head, pulling my hair out of my face as I watch a boy I’ve never seen before climb up the stairs and into my tree house.

“Who are you?” I ask him as he sits across from me.

“Kai,” he smiles, looking around. He looks a lot different than the other kids I know. His hair is long, and his skin is a lot darker than mine. “Why are you hiding?”

I shrug and look away from him. Daddy was yelling earlier; he was so mad that he was turning red. Then Mommy started crying, and Daddy started yelling louder. I heard Mommy telling Daddy that he had to send me away. I don’t want to go away. I try to be good, but sometimes, I forget to listen.

“Why are you crying?”

I look up at him and wipe my face. “I’m scared,” I whisper, wiping my nose.

“Come on. I’ll protect you,” he says, holding his hand out to me.

Then my mommy calls my name again. I look at his hand, move Mr. Bear under my arm, and put my hand in his.

“Myla!” Mommy yells, running towards me.

I can tell she has been crying again.

“Where did you go?” Her hands grab my shoulders and she shakes me hard.

“It’s my fault. I asked her to show me the tree house,” Kai tells her.

She stops shaking me then looks at him. “You shouldn’t have done that. You knew we were looking for her,” she says angrily her head.

“I’m sorry. I wasn’t thinking,” Kai says softly, putting his hands in his pockets and looking at the ground.

I look back at Mommy, and she shakes her head before grabbing my hand and pulling me with her. When I look over my shoulder at Kai, he smiles, making me smile back.

What he finds out is she’s not only beautiful, but also smart, funny, a fighter, and exactly the kind of woman he wants to share his life with. Autumn made assumptions of her own about Kenton, and now he needs to prove her wrong in order to protect her and their future.
