Twisted In Obsession (Marchetti Family Series) (2024)

Story: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Trope: secret baby, second chance
Angst: 😱😱😱😱
Smexy: 🔥🔥🔥

What a fantastic conclusion to the duet! Super fast paced with tons of spicy times. Nico is crazy. Cra 👏🏼 zy👏🏼. He needs his own personal category for how off the chain he runs 🤣🤣. He's controlling, manipulative, obsessive, and I completely hate that I love him so much 🙈. This man completely stays the course and only softens by a fraction near the end of the book. If you like your book boyfriends with all the 🚩🚩🚩, this duet will definitely be for you too! I can't WAIT to see what direction Kelly is going to go with Allegra's book. Super excited!

"She ran and never looked back but little did she knew that's not the end because I am the chaser and I never lose " (These are my own lines which I think suits best with the plot)

Obsessed! I am obsessed with Nico Marchetti and his unhinged behavior. He is completely crazy about her, the kind of crazy that will make you run for your life in reality, however, in this fiction I want nothing more than Nico to come alive.

The plot is amazing with right amount of spice and thrill. I loved Ocean's resilience against him and the way he tames her. There are many charters I love in this store and Nico's mother is one of them.

And now I am even more intrigued to read Allegra's(Nico's sister) story. My heart hurts for her for the kind of ending she got but I am 100% positive she will get her HEA...

Well the second half to Nico and Ocean’s story was certainly a little better than the first book. We pick up with Ocean running, at the threats of Lorenzo Marchetti. We find that Lorenzo has died, leaving Nico as Don. It’s a full year before he finds Ocean, who had his child without him ever knowing she was pregnant.

The middle of the story we basically fall into the daily life and repair of Nico and Ocean’s relationship. Nico hasn’t gained any softness from being away from Ocean for an entire year, which I was really hoping to witness. Ocean fought Nico, but I would’ve loved to see her force Nico’s jealousy when the asshole brought his ex fiancé to dinner under the guise of wife. I was hoping with all my hope that Ocean would casually bring up Harrison, the man she dated while away from Nico, just because Nico deserved the heartache. Maybe I was just being petty.

The end of the story results in two gunfights; one at the club, the other at the warehouse where Ocean was being held by Giuseppe (Lorenzo’s adviser), Vadim (Russian leader), and Ocean’s own abusive father. We see Nico get Oceab back, but Dante die at the club. Allegra, Nico’s sister is absolutely devastated, but her book is next so we’ll get her story. We close out this book with Allegra agreeing to honor her fathers sick contract, being married off to the Romanian’s, to be in inside agent for Nico.

I enjoyed this one more than the previous one. Oceans disappearance and her secret baby added drama that I loved. We saw Nico admit to loving Ocean. He was still his dirty talking, demanding, alpha self- truly worthy of being the Don of the Italian Mafia.

4.5 Stars

This story picks up right where book 1 left off. Ocean on the run.. again but now with a broken heart... and a little extra baggage 😉. Nico is going a little unhinged with his woman vanishing like she never existed but when you have someone who never gives up.. its only a matter of time before he comes and collects. In this conclusion we get to find out who Ocean is and why she was originally on the run and unfortunately.. its not pretty let's just say papa Marchetti and daddy Ocean have a lot on common.

Man my boy Nico is relentless. And he is pissed. I will say I enjoyed book 1 more than book 2 only because I'm a rational person and nico was in bully territory with his punishment of ocean's crimes even tho her reasons for running.. were legit lol but I still liked the book and enjoyed getting to read all of Nico's crazy and irrational rules for her haha. Although miss Kelly I'm a little upset about the events that happened at the end of the book with the club why?!? I'm hoping this plays into what he discussed with Nico and it's not really true because that made me sad. Thank you so much for letting me read this early I had a blast!

*2,5 stars*

So, this one was just so full of plot holes and easy way outs.

Let’s start from the beginning. H was in an arranged marriage and, he still confirmed even to h face that he would have gone through with the marriage because it was his duty and h would have been his side piece. But, then his father is gunned down and he stops the engagement. How? His sister has a contract, how on earth he didn’t have one? Cmon! And why he didn’t fulfill his duty? That part doesn’t make any sense.

Let’s move on- again, sex and nothing else. Their relationship didn’t evolve further than sex. That’s it! That’s their love!

Also, the way how he absolutely didn’t care about her and only himself. He felt like egomaniac. I love , I absolutely love anti heroes, but he was just plain nasty at the times, not the nasty that’s hot but that ick. I don’t know but, he rubbed me the wrong way with his selfish ways.

He was just selfish, self centred, egomaniac and times plain stupid.

I finished Twisted In Obsession by Kelly Kelsey. If y’all remember I chose Nico as my man for Morally Gray Monday last week. Dancing in Sin is the first book and this is the second part of the duet. Let me just warn you guys Ocean and Nico’s path to HEA is rocky. It gets there and they do have a HEA but there are times I wanted to throttle them both.

There are so many reasons to read these books!

NICO!!!! He is OTT with a capital O. Possessive x100.

There was a tampon scene that was just amazing 🤣. I know some of y’all live for those period 🩸scenes.

No cheating or sharing

Br33ding

And secret baby

But still more br33ding

Strong FMC

Insane MC

Lots of mafia storyline

FMC is stripper

Found family

Heart stopping action

Great smut included . Nico is a βεαδτ in the bedroom. 😏

Favorite Nico quote:
“Don’t say another word, Ocean. If you do, I will have no choice but to stυff your mouth full of my 🍆 and fυcκ your throατ until you can’t speak for a week.”

Read it!!! Like now! Go read it. And if you want to throw you kindle take a deep breath and keep reading. It’s worth it. The next book is Nico’s sister’s story and I can’t wait!

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0CVRYNPJN?...

“Ocean doesn’t know it, but she consumes me. My obsession for her runs so deep, I feel her in every part of my body. In my soul. Consuming me. Owning me.”

After Dancing in Sin I knew I needed to know the rest of Nico and Ocean’s story. Nico is completely unhinged and obsessed with Ocean that you hate to love him. Twisted in Obsession picks up right where Book One left off and has you hooked instantly.

Even knowing Nico’s obsession for Ocean from book one he loves to prove how much stronger it is in this book. With their time apart Ocean proves
To herself how much she has grown emotionally and physically, especially when she fights back to Nico.

The chemistry and sexual scenes between Nico and Ocean were HOT. 🥵 I was hooked and loved this story even with the couple of plot twists that got thrown in this book. I can’t wait for the next Marchetti family book.

Nico is unhinged and to be honest, f*cking annoying. He gets upset that Ocean got sand in her vagin* after he banged her at the beach while she was telling him no 🙄 he gets upset that she was wearing a tampon while she was on her ma’i (period) saying that only he can be inside her. This guy is a trip and instead of finding his asshole-alpha ways hot like I do in most books that have a MMC w/ red flags, I found it cringy and irritating. Ocean with no backbone just goes along with everything he says. She’ll argue, pitifully, even though it does nothing for her because what Nico wants, Nico gets. Truly annoying lol. I also had to skim the sex parts because they became boring and repetitive since the first book.

I like the authors writing style, the ending was a surprise for sure. I didn’t hate the story, but it wasn’t my favorite.
Nico is a lot, I personally didn’t like him one bit, he gave me major ick in this book more so than in the first book.
Ocean is just a long for the ride, I don’t really know how to describe her.
Spice 🌶️🌶️🌶️
Story ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Nico:

I’ve never believed in coincidences. I am a man that believes in facts. It wasn’t a coincidence that my papà was the last person to see Ocean before she disappeared. The deeper I dig into her past, the more I find out about the girl who turned my world upside down. I may be a liar, but Ocean lied too. But now I know who she truly is... and what she is capable of.

She may have run and hidden once but it won’t happen again. Because she is mine and if I have to burn the whole world down, just to find her, I will. And when I do?
I will make her wish her family found her instead.

Ocean:

It’s funny how a single moment can change your life. And in my case, it’s been a series of moments. I spent months running from my family, intending to build myself a better life. Then I met him. Nico Marchetti. The devil in a designer suit. He caught me in his web, consuming me until I had no choice but to fall in love with him. But he didn’t love me back.

That much was clear when his father approached me and told me the truth. I knew he was powerful but how did I not see the real him? I was stupid. Young and naive. But not anymore. I see him for who he really is.
I hid once and now I will do it again.

I can only hope Nico never finds me and the secret I am hiding from him. Because if he does... my life will be over.

And the story continues ….. you will not be disappointed! Once again, I could not put this book down, page to page, chapter to chapter - you will be hooked from the start! Nico cannot forget about Ocean and all Ocean wants to do is forget about Nico. He just wants to find her - is this obsession or does he actually love her? Just for the record, you will not be disappointed, the heat is still there 🥵🌶️🥵🌶️

Each of the two main characters, Nico and Ocean, have secrets that they do no want each other to know. What will happen now they are out in the open? Will they be able to forgive each other and move on with a future together? Are they able to forgive each other? Will the relationship survive and will they trust each other? Overall, I would highly recommend this book and you will not be disappointed 😊😊

“Be the queen you were always meant to be…”

Twisted In Obsession is second book of The Marchetti Family Series by Kelly Kelsey. I thought the first book was really good but I read this book in one day. It is really a good story. This book opens up two weeks later where Dancing in Sin ends. After Ocean Embers (FMC) is confronted by Nico Marchetti’s (MFC) father Don Lorenzo is killed by bratva. Nico in the midst of everything Ocean is missing and Nico finds out that his father paid Ocean to leave and told her he was engaged to a Mafia Princess and Ocean was just his side piece and nothing more. So Ocean runs and Lyre. During this time she discovers she is pregnant. A woman named Patty takes her in and offers her a job and a place to stay. Patty becomes the mom Lyre wants. A year passes and Nico is still looking for her. He is determined to find her because she belongs to him and him alone. By chance she is found and this is when Nico discovers she has had a baby boy named Romeo. When Dante (Nico’s BFF) and Nico take a look at the baby, he immediately knows this is his son. Nico takes both Ocean and Romeo back to the main home in The Hamptons to begin their journey back to one another. The road back is not smooth at all. The lies between the both of them are revealed and they both need to heal from their hurts to move toward each other. Even though Nico and Ocean were a part for over a year, they still have the 🔥🔥🔥for each other. In the meantime, the side characters add drama to the story…Dante, Allegra, Vadim, Leo and others. Chapter 43 blew me away and left me many questions. I hope they are answered in Allegra’s story – the third book of this series.

That cliffhanger from book 1 was well worth the wait to see what happens next between Nico and Ocean!

In Twisted In Obsession, we carry off from the cliffhanger with Ocean on the run and Nico being a ruthless, pissed-off grumpy man wanting the one thing that keeps getting away from him: Ocean! Nico this whole time was 5/5 morally grey, red flags all over and just a ticking time bomb. The secrets they held from each other were definitely unexpected and I really questioned different ways their story would play out. Kelly's way of writing this beautiful duet was amazing. She really portrayed emotions, gave an AMAZING storyline with 2 strong FMC and MMC characters, the twists for dayyys, the unhinged man of Nico, and THE SPICEEEEEEE! 5/5 for the spice alone, even if it wasn't as many scenes as book 1, I still loved every minute of it. Especially Nico being a DOM in the bed! He knows what he is doing and he does well, yet again.

I'm sad their story is over, but I can not wait to read Allegra's! Kelly, you have a forever fan. Please write more books so I can be in book heaven yet again!

OMG! What an incredible and utterly spicy conclusion that was!

Nico takes unhinged and obsessed to a whole new level. Do I love his craziness? 100%. He’s possessive, irrational, manipulative, protective and totally addictive. And I could not get enough of this man.

Ocean tries to protect herself against Nico, but he has a way of breaking down everyone of her walls and forces himself into her life to where she can’t live without him and needs his brand of crazy. I loved that about these two. She could run but never hide from Nico.

The smut contained within the pages of this story had my body tingling all over. It was spicy, kinky and so freaking HOT!!!

This story was amazing. It had me on the edge of my seat, biting my nails with anticipation of what Nico would do, and gasping with delight over what he does. There were many little twists and turns throughout with all kinds of adrenaline inducing moments that kept me glued to the pages and unwilling to put the book down.

LOVED IT and look forward to more!

5.0 out of 5 stars A Must Read Mafia Romance!!
Reviewed in the United States on March 15, 2024
OMG this book literally took my breath away and had me on the edge of my seat holding on for dear life!! It was freaking fantastic and I am definitely hooked on this author !
This is the conclusion of Nico and Ocean’s story. Nico is-cold-hearted and ruthless, he will down right make you angry one minute, melt your insides the next, and leave you needing and wanting more. This man tries so hard not to fall for Ocean, but failed miserably, but it’s inevitable. They both craves each other’s touch. Their road is not an easy one and there is danger lurking in the shadows trying to take Ocean away from him and leave him with nothing.
If you love a couple who is meant to be but fights their desires every step of the way and a story with a bit of danger and mystery then you absolutely have to read this. Ms Kelly leaves us with a pretty hefty cliffhanger that leaves us with so many questions but the wait for the next book, Allegra’s story is going to be worth the wait.
Highly recommend this book!!

I went into this series with such high hopes. It had everything that I love in a dark mafia romance. Unfortunately, it fell flat for me.

Ocean’s story was completely unbelievable. How does a 17 y/o “escape” like she did from her affluent family without anyone finding her. Then, she meets Nico at the strip club she works at not knowing she was working for the mafia.

Nico becomes obsessed with little Ocean and completely goes off the deep end. The guy had some severe obsessive/possessive tendencies towards her. Everything with Nico was “my” this “my” that when it came to Ocean it got exhausting. I just couldn’t do it anymore so I skimmed til the end.

Now, this is what really annoyed me, the books end at the 84 ish%. The rest of the book is the author giving us readers a taste of her other books that she has in her collection. FFS, give the readers a warning they aren’t getting a whole book as advertised! I’m sure that there are others who absolutely loved this duet but I am not one of them. So, you can take my review with a grain of salt or not 🤷🏻‍♀️. Just my personal opinion.

I could not put this book down! I cannot imagine what will happen next, I NEED Allegra's story!

Ocean gets so strong throughout this novel. The last one definitely tested her, but in this next book I think the reader can really see her develop into her own person. The climax was a little anticipated, but so full of drama I couldn't not love it.

Nico is his usual alpha, controlling, bit of an a$$ self and I cannot explain the amount of expletives that were used during several scenes. But I think the saying 'You can run, but you can't hide' is the main theme here. Despite his father's attempt in the ending of Dancing in Obsession, Nico doesn't let Ocean get away, punishing her for what he considers a betrayal and fighting his own love for her. No matter what, Nico never lets anyone get in the way of what he wants. And he wants Ocean.

Tropes: Second Chance, Secret Baby, Mafia, kidnapping (sort of?)

Twisted In Obsession

4.5⭐️

“𝙔𝙤𝙪 𝙧𝙪𝙞𝙣 𝙢𝙚,”

What a brilliant conclusion to this duet!! Kelly definitely didnt play when it came to Twisted In Obsession. Just like the first book in the duet, Twisted In Obsession is a fast pace novel, answering all the mysteries from Dancing In Sin. In true Kelly fashion we get tons of delicious spice, Alpha men that leave you drooling. The ending is a heartbreaking one but it also sets up for another series within this world. I’m super excited for Allegra’s book with the ending Kelly gave us.

I’m so happy for Ocean’s & Nico’s happy ending. They deserved it after the journey they both went through. Every Nico scene left me feeling hot😏😏

If you’re for a fast paced second chance mafia duet with plenty of spice, Alpha men, loveable side characters and found family. Definitely check out Dancing In Sin & Twisted In Obsession both are available on amazon & KU!

•Mafia Romance
•Secret Baby
•Second Chance

Twisted in Obsession starts almost right where Dancing in Sin finished.

That heartstopping cliffhanger ending left me absolutely speechless and eager for more, so I really could not wait for this book.

Nico is dangerous, unhinged, and will do anything and everything to find Ocean again. He lied, but she lied as well, and it's like a vicious cycle.

Nico is a man obsessed, and when it comes to what belongs to him, he will not waiver. Ocean is his.

After Ocean ran and Nico found her, she fears she had escaped one cage for another.

I could not get enough of this couple. Nico is an unapologetic crazy possessive alphahole. I couldn't help but love him. Ocean was not afraid to stand up to him but knew to pick her battles.

I need Allegra’s book. I was so sad for her.

Definitely would recommend these books! 📚

“Fortunately for you Tesoro, my papa is dead. Which means you don’t have to be my dirty little secret.” He brushes his lips against mine, whispering. “You can be my queen.”

Good God Kelly, where do I even begin! The scream I screamed when I read this quote.. DEAR GOD. This book was EVERYTHING! From the first chapter I was obsessed and literally couldn’t stop reading. Nico became the most feral man for Ocean and was so obsessed with her. Who doesn’t love a man obsessed with his girl? And Ocean? Who knew I could be so proud of a fictional woman, lol. Her growth as a woman and as a “mafia” significant other was top-tier. This story was full of twists and turns and it read like a freakin movie! Seriously, still obsessed with Nico and Ocean! Literally, they’re my babies forever and always 🥰⭐️: 5/5 🌶️: 3.75/5

Don’t fret…they get their HEA, but let me tell you it’s a long twisty, steamy, obsession filled, winding road to it. I honestly love their brand of crazy, but man he turned on the alphahole in this sequel. I mean I am down for a good alpha but hot damn….he was running hot and cold faster than Canada’s weather (if you’re in Canada you know exactly what I am talking about).
Ocean and Nico are just two lost souls who were destined to find each other. Ocean ran from one monster that wants to destroy her and straight into the arms of a monster that will do anything to protect her….and I do mean anything. And trust me, he will and does find and protect what is his at any cost.
If you love age gap novels with an over the top alphahole who meets his match in a spitfire woman who will challenge him at every turn….here they are.

Just as I thought I was going to go to bed and I would finish tomorrow because it literally hit 1 am… she hits me with a cliffhanger, so per usual I said screw it and kept reading!
This book had me in my toes for sure, I kept thinking things were going to hit the fan but, it did keep sailing rather smoothly…. then *skin begins twitching* make sure you read those triggers warnings, normally nothing bothers me but, some parts just made me 🫣😧 and that ending…🫢🤐 I hate when authors break my heart…sorry I’m not giving away any spoilers, you’ll just have to read it for yourselves. I promise you, you will not be disappointed. Her words, dedication, romance and of course spice are so supreme you will be begging for more once you finish!
I will be recommending this book to all my dark mafia romance lovers because I know they won’t be disappointed in this duet! Who doesn’t love a jaw dropping, possessive, mafia boss, who will unalive anyone that gets in the way of what’s his??

This duet should have been one book there was not enough storyline too push into 2 books the whole first book is slower than molasses he keeps saying thats it this time in going to do it then nothing then a chapter later no its this time then nothing by the time hit finally happened i was bored book 2 was so much better. So i would cut first 1/2 of book one and so he actually did what he said in the first few chapters of the book and did not waste the whole book saying he would but not doing it again and again and again. Then the book could have been a 4 maybe even 5 star if it was one book where he kidnapped or took her to bed in the beginning but alas it was a drawn out duet that ended up being a 3 star duet.

Where do I begin?? So much drama in this second book! So much more possession and obsession! Nico is one of the most possessive men I have read about and he doesn’t give two cares about what others think. His father has been murdered and yet all he can think of is where Ocean is and how to get her back!

Ocean has run away again and oh man are you in for a surprise! She’s changed her name and taken on a new life for over a year. When Nico finds her he is in for a shock and you won’t believe how he shows his anger for her insubordination.

The end of this book had me in my feelings, so much love, revenge, heartbreak, and spice!

Wow, Twisted In Obsession was a crazy rollercoaster ride! It left off where book 1 ended. Nico is obsessed with finding Ocean. What you get......

I couldn't put it down. I needed to know how things would turn out. They had a lot of lies to work through. They have amazing chemistry, and we get lots of steamy scenes 🥵🥵🥵

I seriously need the next book like now!! I can't wait to read more. Kelly has done an amazing job creating these characters and world. 🥰

Twisted In Obsession is the fantastic conclusion of Nico and Oceans story and what a conclusion it is! This book, as with Dancing In Sin is not a book that you can read just a little here and there. Once you pick it you may as well know that you won't be putting it down until you've finished. This storyline and these will completely take you over and hold you hostage. Secrets are revealed and them dealing with the aftermath
had me feeling all sorts of things. Nico is utterly obsessed and over the top possessive. Their journey is nothing short of excellent!

Twisted In Obsession by Kelly Kelsey is book Two in the Marchetti Family Series. This continues the story of Nico and Ocean that started in the previous book 'Dancing In Sin'. You will need to read that book to fully enjoy this one. Ocean found out what Nico had been hiding. But more important her life was in danger from Nico's father who had threaten her. Nico is going crazy trying to track her down and this book does skip a few months to a year of him looking for her. Enjoyed this duet so much! I can't wait to read more from this author!

Second book following Ocean and Nico and it did not disappoint. The chemistry is hot between these two and the possessiveness Nico has over Ocean is delicious. I love the other characters and how they play a role in the books. Nico's mother gives you a sense of home and happiness. Ocean fights to have her way but Nico is determined to show her the world she belongs in. I absolutely devoured this book. The spicy, the passion, the action/ suspense that happens in the book all has you craving more.

This is the second book of the Nico and Ocean story and in this Ocean finds out who Nico really is from his father and runs away. But she had a secret of her own.

The danger and suspense certainly picks up in this book as Ocean runs from Nico and all she's come to know. As much as she wants to believe him, she is scared of what the truth is and what it means for her.

Well done with quite an edge of your seat feel that carries to the end of the book, I just couldn't put it down. It's stayed with me for a while after.

Highly recommend this book to you!!!

4.5 stars

Nico was even more unhinged then in the first book...even though she left because of his father so not really by choice but...we do love these unhinged protective men so 🤷‍♀️😂.

I did think I would have to DNF this because of the secret baby trope (and one particular spicy scene which turned my stomach a wee bit...) but the story had me so hooked I had to find out what was going on and see how Nico and Oceans story ended.

I will absolutely be reading the next one, Allegras story I know will he incredible and I can't wait to see it.

Punishing His Ocean

Nico finds out Oceans secret as the tragedy that has his family mourning reveals the reasons for her disappearance. It takes him a year to find her and discover a new reason to be crazy obsessed and possessive. However, his need for punishment of her decisions do not go as planned, and their intense draw to one another is unavoidable. This was emotionally twisted and hot to the point of wanting to know what happens next.

I received an ARC of this book and voluntarily leave this review.
