I really liked Icarus and Poseidon's relationship, I would have loved if this book was longer and we got to see more of them. Wished we got to see more of the world building, because it sounded very cool, but the romance was still very good.
Thank you netgalley and the publisher for the arc.

Another great read from Katee Robert! I really liked Poseidon and Icarus' pairing. The angst and heat were perfect. One of my favorites of the series!

This story starts off immediately after the end of the last book with our two MMC: Poseidon and Icarus. The roles have flipped after Icarus tried to use Poseidon to get freedom for his sister and himself, and now Icarus is a captive of Poseidon. Most of Olympus is not a fan of Icarus as his father (Minos RIP) has caused a lot of hell for the Thirteen. Now that the barrier is down, Olympus must figure out what to do with Circe and her fleet that is awaiting in the bay. The book is a battle between should we go to war with Circe or not. And of course there is a little Hera and Zeus (their book is next) action as well that Poseidon gets tied into.

As Katee's first MM romance book, I think she knocked it out of the park. I loved that Poseidon was the sub in the relationship, with a kink for pain/punishment, even though he is the bigger of the two men. It was also really great to learn more about Poseidon as he was one of the few Thirteen that we really didn't know anything about as he kept to himself in the other books. He was a kind, gentle person, which threw Icarus off. I also enjoyed how Poseidon really saw Icarus and was able to call him out whenever he was trying to be manipulative (which really wasn't Icarus's fault as that was all he has known). Let's not forget the smut - Katee is chef's kiss one of the best smut scene writers.

What I liked about this book: Learning more about Poseidon and how soft and kind he is as a person, the relationship/dynamics between Icarus and Poseidon, the smut (Katee you are one of the greatest smut writers I have ever come across), all of the action in this book was well-paced and we were given great space in between for character development and relationship building.

What I didn't like: I'm not sure if this is going to be edited out, but in the descriptions of characters at time, it would just describe someone as black person or white person and I think this could be rephrased a little as it made me feel weird reading, also I'm a little sad that we are losing (not by death) so many characters (happy they are having happiness and freedom from the awful power hungry Thirteen), but we have lost Aphrodite, Hephaestus, now Poseidon - plus Ariadne and the Minotaur.

I wish this series wasn't ending in two more books because it is just that good.

Thanks Netgalley for the advanced copy in exchange for an honest review !

Ok I'm going to be honest and say I haven't read the majority of the books in the series. I skipped from like number 3 to this one.

Ok so I will say though that this was a good entry even though i missed the main story plots from other books. BUT i was able to catch up pretty quickly with no problems.

I will say that I loved Icarus and Poseidon and their love story even though I did feel like it went pretty quickly.

And now I might have to continue the series because I'm real real curious about the relationship between Zeus and Hera.
and hermes...

All in all, I give it a good solid 3.5/5. Maybe 3.75

Thank you to NetGalley for the Arc. All opinions are my own.

Thank you so much Netgalley for giving me this ARC in exchange of an honest review.

Actual rating 3.75⭐️

I missed this world so much after not reading Dark Restraint and after finishing this book I really have to go back and read it!!!
Sweet Obsession was such a good book and I missed these characters so much. Even if I liked Icarus and Poseidon, I loved seeing all those snippets with Zeus and Hera and I'm so intrigued about Hermes.

Another steamy installment in the Olympus series! The plot continued to move things along and I’m interested to see how it all comes to a head soon as the series will wrap up.

Thank you to the author and the publisher for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

This book just wasn’t for me. Honestly the last few in this series have been a bit of a letdown and this one was the final nail in the coffin for this series for me. I didn’t find either main character to be enjoyable; in fact, they both seemed to be so different than the portrayals of them we had seen in previous books. The plot really didn’t move enough for me or keep me engaged. I honestly don’t know if I will pick up the last two books in this series. Just not for me at all.

“Sweet Obsession” makes good progress in propelling forward the overarching storyline of the Neon Gods series while still balancing the spice expected with a novel in this series. “Sweet Obsession” skewers stereotypes and is a solid addition to the series.

This series has been one of my very favorites. We now see Icarus and Poseidon's story, and it's everything I expected.
