Thank you to the publisher for the free advanced copy in exchange for a review!

This one comes out in April.

I just know that Katee Robert sits and giggles to themself every time they have to come up with a new safe word for anyone in this series/her Wicked Villains series. They are always so clever and funny and tied to the mythological character in perfect ways (Poseidon’s is Trident and it made me lol)

Not my favorite in this series but not my least favorite either. I liked both MC’s, I just felt their connection was a bit rushed and I don’t buy insta love even on the best days.

I also lost the plot a bit and got confused with who was taking over the city and when, but that’s always secondary for me in this books compared to the relationships anyway.

A fun and fast read, this duology from Katee Robert is being rereleased, finally. Two sweet romances with a lot of sizzle. And surprisingly nontoxic masculinity (not a surprise to fans of Robert, TBH).

I’m so happy that I was able to snatch an ARC for this book!!! If you know me, then you know Katee Robert and the Dark Olympus series are favorites for me! I had my doubt if this book would vibe with me, but this is the sign to never doubt Katee! I hope the last two books will come soon. I’m so locked in the overarching story I need them now!

Received an ARC of this book for an honest review.

I actually really liked this book, the action is really building up so much that there was more action plot than a love story here. Usually not a fan of insta-love but with this series you just gotta get over it lol Icarus and Poseidon were an interesting match. There was lots of Dom/Sub moments but very interesting how the dynamics were. 10/10

Can't wait for the next one!

Thank you to Netgalley and the publisher for this early review copy! My honest review is below:

3.75⭐️ I really enjoyed this!

I loved Icarus and Poseidon as main characters and found that both of their POVs were quite enjoyable. Their romance was super sweet and touching as well. It really felt like they saw each other in a way no one else did, and I love them!

I think this is a great addition to the Dark Olympus series, and I highly recommend checking this one out when it arrives later this year!

This was probably my least favorite Dark Olympus book so far, which was really disappointing when the last few have been solid 4 stars for me. I think since we hadn't gotten much of Icarus since the house party and maybe a little bit in Dark Restraint, and the like nothing of Poseidon the whole series, I just didn't feel too invested in their relationship and it didn't really have the tension in the book that I needed for them to feel worth it to me. I felt more interested in the Zeus and Hera subplot than the main plot, and I am very excited for the next book because we'll actually see their dynamic. It just felt like a filler book to me.

Big Thank you to NetGalley and Sourcebooks for providing an ARC of this book. These thoughts and feelings are my own.

Where do I even begin with this review. We are now 8 books into the Olympus series and at this point I just want it to be over. Sweet Obsession wasn’t bad per se. I enjoyed the story between Poseidon and Icarus. But overall this book felt like a filler to set up big points for Circe’s book and Hera/Zeus book. Which is fine but I wish we got to see more of Icarus and Poseidons MM relationship. Especially in the last portion of the book where everything felt rushed and wrapped up too predictable.

Even though this addition was not my favorite in the series. It’s still better than some of the other additions we’ve gotten in the series. Overall, I’d still recommend it to those as committed as me to finishing this series.

This was an excellent book!! I enjoyed the character development as well as how the plot was developed throughout the story. The author was able to to do a good job with all aspects of the story. I would recommend to others. This was a AWESOME ADDITION THE SERIES!!

We are gearing up for the finale, only two mors books to go.
It was a quick spicy read i finished in one sitting. I love how book by book the plot is getting heavier. I have made my peace with insta love in this series, so it didn’t pose a problem for me. Icarus & Poseidon were precious together. Poseidon was a wild card. By all the snippets from the previous 7 books, I’d never pegged him to be gentle and submissive. Icarus was the perfect sassy match for him. Their communication skills>>

I am looking forward to Zeus & Hera book. Enemies to Lovers? Bring it on!! Their crumbs have me guessing how their story is gonna unfold. I am already announcing my favourite couple. Hear me out!!

Tropes:
☞ MM romance
☞ Plus-sized Hero
☞ Opposites attract
☞ Captor/Captive
☞ Icarus & Poseidon retailing

Thank You NetGalley & Sourcebooks for ARC.

I was so excited to get an ARC through netgalley as I love this series!!!

This was such a great next installment in the series and the plot was plotting! I feel like this was the most plot heavy book in the whole series, but Katee does not skimp on the romance and I loved the captive-is-the-dom dynamic between Icarus and Poseidon. Also I CANNOT wait for Zeus and Hera’s story

Thank you to NetGalley, Sourcebooks Casablanca & Katee Robert for allowing me to be an early reader. All thoughts are my own.

Newest installment of the dark olympus series. Books in this series have been hit or miss for me and I enjoyed this one. These books always leave me wanting a little more - sometimes its plot, world building, political intrigue, you name it. And other times I want a bit more emotional intimacy between our MC's. These books are a great palate cleanser for heavier reads!

Another great installment to the Dark Olympus series! I loved the growth of Icarus and Poseidon, both as individuals and as a couple. Even though their preferred kink isn't my thing I still enjoyed the spice level of the book. I also loved the mental health representation of panic attacks and nervous compulsion. The Circe storyline does seem a bit dragged out in this book but I'm still looking forward to seeing how things conclude! Can't wait for the rest of the series!
Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to give my honest opinion and to review an ARC!

This is the next instalment in the Dark Olympus series - the story of Poseidon and Icarus. Even though both of these characters have had very limited time in the series so far, I ended up loving this story and devoured it in under a day.

Poseidon has taken Icarus as captive, and the barrier protecting Olympus has fallen. With war literally on their shores, the Thirteen need to figure out where their priorities lie. Things are really heating up politically, and the next two books in the series are going to be jam packed with action and answers to all of our questions.

Poseidon has a heart of gold that melts Icarus’ hard exterior. Although this book contained some parts that lead me to recommend taking the trigger warning very seriously (mostly a pain kink), Katee Robert continues to masterfully write their spicy scenes with consent and respect. I love the ways that Poseidon’s ASD is incorporated into the story without being its main focus, and the anxiety issues that both characters face.

How am I going to wait for Shattered Gods in 2026? Likely by doing a series reread. I absolutely recommend this entire series to all my spicy romance lovers out there!

Loved this book! Katee Robert makes the story of Poseidon and Icarus so heartwarming and sexy! And the way they progress the series makes me so eager for the next book!

First off I would like to say I luckily got the chance to get an early copy off of Netgally and honestly I'm so glad that I did. Things are heating up in olympus and I am so excited to see how they will play out in the next two books of the series. For this book if you are a fan of baulders gate 3 you will love this book, if you are a fan of Astarian from baulders gate 3 you will love this book. Katee Robert has truly mastered giving us sweet tender moments and core aching spicy moments. I adore their writing and getting an early copy of this novel is such a privilege I will hold dear. There are a few minor typos here and there but they didn't break the immersion in any way.

I love Sweet Obsession! Just like the rest of Katee Robert’s book this doesn’t disappoint. The storyline is great with all the mythology gods and goddesses. I have nothing bad to say about it since it was another masterpiece.

I enjoyed this latest installment in Katee Robert’s Dark Olympus series. While Icarus and Poseidon have played a role in the series thus far, we have not learned much about them so I loved getting to dive into their characters in this book. She also does a great job at building tension as the conflict with Circe heats up. As always, her writing is sexy and fun and I love how inclusive her writing and characters are. Looking forward to the next instalment to see how Olympus fares, particularly Zeus, Hera and, of course, the extended Dimitriou family.

Whoo! This one was a wild ride. I was on my toes for the last half of the book. I was even tearing up on the last few chapters. This book is much more plot driven than the others in the Dark Olympus series. The romance is much more fast paced and rushed but not in a bad way. I love this couple. They balance each other out very well and have a mutual understanding of each other due to sharing similar traumas.

Tropes: forced proximity, captive/captor, trauma bonding, caring for wounds, enemies to lovers

Only Katee Robert could write a delightfully smutty, queer (and specifically MM) romance with a host of diverse characters that also has political intrigue and poignant advice on grieving someone that wasn't who you wanted them to be. In Sweet Obsession, Poseidon has been charged with caring for Icarus after his father has died and his sister, Ariadne, has escaped with the Minotaur. While Icarus initially lives up to his reputation as a seducer who uses sex and his wits to get control over others, the situation shifts as he gets to know Poseidon. We get a bit of grumpy/sunshine and maybe, more accurately, a little teddy bear/manipulator.

While I the only other Dark Olympus book I read was Neon Gods (the first), I did not feel lost in the general universe thanks to both the introductory MuseWatch chapter and overview of events from both Icarus and Poseidon. Sweet Obsession is the eighth (!) book in the Dark Olympus series. Now, of course I realize I've been remiss not to read the others and will going back to get fully caught up. My only gripe is how self-pitying both Icarus and Poseidon get in their heads, which grated on me a bit. On the whole though, I highly recommend.

Thanks to NetGalley and to SourceBooks for the advanced copy!

The 8th book in the Dark Olympus series continues to drive the plot forward with the unlikely and sweet pairing of Icarus and Poseidon shadowed by political implications of the city barrier coming down and the scheming of Circe, Zeus and Hera.

What I love most about the book is the mature and tender nature of the sexual relationship explored by the two men. The way things played out seemed very plausible given the situation they were both thrown into. I enjoyed this installment even more than the previous one I read!
