" Obsession Comes With A Price..."
Synopsis
Joe's controversial approach to life is fuelled by his fixation on Abbie, and a beautiful wedding offers the perfect opportunity for him to seduce her - everyone loves a wedding, don't they?
The only hurdle is Eddie - Abbie's son and Joe's best friend - but inebriated and forcing an end to the evening, he inadvertently assists Joe's quest and a suitably indulgent night beckons.
But what should have been a culmination of Joe's eleven-year obsession descends into chaos and devastation, wrenching Joe from all he's known for the majority of his life.
Accustomed to getting what he wants, it's not until he really gets what he wants that his world unravels and his control slips away.
Be careful what you wish for, be careful who you wish for, for obsession comes with a price…
but is it a price worth paying?

My Review
I am totally unsure where to start with this review!
If like me you have read the blurb and thought ohh that sound intriguing! read it again right at the bottom, see that explicit warning! yep? Take heed of it my friend because wowzers!
this book is hot hot hot, this read pushed me as far out of my comfort zone as I have ever been!
My only foray in to explicit reads as been a bit of 50 shades! but this shows what a good story can be built when sex and itS themes are used in the right way.
Abbie is what is known as a cougar really, living her life enjoying sex with younger men and she has a little obsession in Joe her sons best friend, Joe in turn has a huge and yet much darker obsession with Abbie and as fate has it they come together in a night of passion that is not for the faint heart!
From here the story shows us the absolute dark side of obsession, sex and passion and how quickly things can become scarily out of control.
The book is fantastically written and while at times the sex seemed too much and seemed to be taking over the story, the more you read the more you realise that it is needed to show the roller-coaster of emotions within and surrounding the dark elements of the story.
The Characters are well done and relate-able in many ways, Joe was very dark and his actions felt frustrating at times and while I did not warm to Abbie as much I still enjoyed her journey, though I still question who is using who in her relationships.
This book pushes every boundary at least that I have felt when reading! At times I felt so uncomfortable but the plot was so so good and I was already so drawn in that I just had to read more! I was excited to know that this book is part of a series because I feel that there is even more to this story and I cannot wait to get stuck back in!
Author Bio
Having worked in a variety of industries, Cheryl has met many interesting people and, with a profound interest in what makes them tick, she has spent a lifetime of asking ‘What would I do in that situation?’ and ‘What if things happened this way?’, creating a multitude of plots and twists that she had always dismissed until one story-line nagged her constantly and she decided to alleviate herself of the burden, committing her ideas to virtual paper.
Assuming she would run out of steam five chapters or so in, she amazed herself by writing two novels within a year and A Proclivity To Prurience was born.
It was difficult to write, given the themes, but Cheryl felt it was a story that would resonate in the current climate. Writing between a part-time job and raising two young children was a task in itself, but, every spare minute was spent doing so or thinking about doing so and her characters took on a life of their own.
Cheryl loves character-driven tales with a psychological edge and aims to produce that kind of work herself, and she’s not afraid to tackle issues that some may find difficult… other than horror – she can’t read or write horror as she scares far too easily!
Aside from writing and her family, Cheryl’s greatest passion is music and she can easily lose herself in a favourite album or song, rather like she does within a book she’s writing or reading, and a musician’s ability to move you on any level is pure genius.
