Publisher's summary

He’ll risk it all to protect her.

Someone is stalking Audrey Young. And she has no idea why.

It’s bad enough that she’s back in Tilikum. But Audrey’s good at making the best of things and her new job at the small-town newspaper is just a way to get back on her feet.

Complicating matters is her landlord and new neighbor, Josiah Haven.

She doesn’t usually go for the big, surly lumberjack type. But there’s something about that broody man. He intimidates her a little, but she kind of likes it.

She could totally handle the mess that is her life, except the strange feeling of being watched is just the beginning. Next thing Audrey knows, she’s a target, and she doesn’t know who’s behind it or why.

For Josiah Haven, none of that makes her his problem.

She’s just the girl next door. Fine, the frustratingly hot girl next door. But Audrey is all sunshine, and her goofy dog isn’t any better. Josiah is too stoic. Too solitary. Too guarded. He doesn’t need a woman in his life, especially one who threatens to crack his heart wide open.

But Josiah is a protector, and he can’t let Audrey’s troubles go unanswered, even if he has to risk everything—his life and his heart—to keep her safe.

Author’s note: A grumpy loner meets his match in a sunshiney dog lover who’s a little down on her luck. And once he falls, he falls hard. It’s small-town romantic suspense with CK’s signature humor, endearing characters, and heartwarming happily ever after.

Obsession Falls can be listened to as a stand-alone.

Great start to the Havens!

Love returning to Tilikum, having the mischievous squirrels, a sweet clueless pup & the entire townspeople leading the entertainment in this one. Josiah & Audrey’s meeting was one of my favorite introductions in a book, too. I had the pleasure of listening to Connor Crais, Ava Erickson & Scott Rose bring all these characters to life.

Haven family great start

I love how the story ties other storylines together. A Haven family is definitely have interest in looking forward to the next book.

I was hoping for this!!!

I was really hoping we would get the other side! Love that it’s still part of the timeline! Ah can’t wait for the next one!

So happy to be back in Tilikum!

Loved being back in Tilikum, I loved that we got a little bit of the Bailys in this book. Every time I start a new series by Kingsley I think there is no way she can top or make me love the story or characters as much as the previous ones and she always proves me wrong.

Obsession Falls gives us Josiah and Audrey. I loved Audrey's positive disposition and Josiahs' tendency to be a grump. I loved watching Josiah and Audrey go from an embarrassing first meeting to friends and eventually to a couple.

I loved the suspense in this story and how it showed how resilient our characters were. When Audrey starts receiving threats she still manages to keep her positive outlook and Josiah shows more of his protective and caring side.

I can’t wait to see what's next for Tilikum of course the Haven Brothers!

Fantastic romantic suspense!

I loved this romantic suspense and found myself anxiously waiting for the next opportunity to listen. The story itself is excellent; I had no idea who was the antagonist. The narrators are excellent and add to the appeal of an already wonderful story!

First Claire Kingsley book

I picked up this book based on a recommendation due to a book I had finished and I was pleasantly surprised. I loved the suspense weaved into the storyline as well as the build up of the relationship without a lot of angst, which is my preference. Well worth a credit and I’m looking forward to finishing the series.

Welcome back to Tilikum,where you will be Obsessed

I listened and read this ARC, and it was amazing. Josiah was broody but with a sweet heart , my favorite type of Hero. I loved the mystery aspect of the book it kept me guessing up until the end. I also loved that there was very, very little amount of romantic drama, and issues were handled immediately and not festered on. Rewriting the stars has been my favorite CK book, but this one just may top it. Max was the sweetest durpy dog! I am already so ready for the next Haven book. Hopefully, it is Marigold finally getting her happily ever after. I know I may be in the minority here, but I really liked that there was more plot than s*x. I did kind of get Blue Moon vibes at times because of the crazy town, and that made me smile. The narrators were fabulous! Great book! I really enjoyed it!

Get ready

This is Ms Kingsley’s introduction to the Haden family. If you’ve read the Bailey Brothers saga you’ll recognize Josiah, the burly stoic oldest Haden brother. But this is a stand alone story that you are sure to enjoy. Josiah is dead set against any kind of relationship. His heart has been broken twice, but along comes Audrey his complete opposite. Audrey’s bubbly personality melts Josiah’s hardened heart. But a stalker almost severs the bond between them. Of course love will prevail. This, like everything else I’ve read of Ms Kingsley’s, is well worth the time. Will there be other Haden Brother books? I certainly hope so and I’m also hoping Marigold finds her true love with one of these brothers. (The narrators are great as well.)

I loved this story!!!

I loved everything about this book. It just made me happy and smile hole time reading/listening to it. I can’t wait for more Haven stories, but I could be wrong, but are you trying to hint the other stories in this? I love how Claire likes to play with her readers a little bit. Gets me excited for the next books to come from this great author, you write them I read them lol

Josiah and Audrey

This was my 1st Claire Kingsley book. I bought this because Connor Crais is my favorite narrator.Loved the story and suspense. Narration was wonderful. Loved the epilogues. Will look for other CK books.
