I'm not sure why this is getting bad online reviews - I LOVED it. It was intriguing. A great mystery and nonstop action, with a good romance. Definitely recommended.

Really a great book. You never know what to expect next and it keeps you guessing. All that and a love story too!

I found this book to be an ok read, but not as spell binding as I had hoped from Karen Robards. Worth your time, but expect to be able to put it down.

Katherine Lawrence feels as if she is in the middle of a draconian nightmare as thugs, spooks or terrorists break into the house where she is living that belongs to her lover Ed Barnes, the deputy director of operations for the CIA. They tie her and her friend Lisa up and they torture Katherine trying to get her to tell them where the safe in the house is. She never knew Ed has a safe but they don't believe her but Katherine manages to get her mouth free of the tape so she can scream.

Her next door neighbor Don scares them off and takes her to the hospital where she feels like she knew him in another life. She also thinks she is losing her mind because when she looks in the mirror it isn't the face she remembers and when she takes a shower it isn't the body she remembers. For some reason she is afraid of Ed and with the help of Dan she loses the two agents he has guarding her. Ed soon picks up her track and when he finally gets his hands on her she feels she like she is living in the middle of a Hitchcock movie.

Readers will love OBSESSION, a stunning and powerful tour de force thriller. Katherine doesn't know what is real and what is a figment of her imagination but she has clues that all is not right. Her rings are loose, her clothes are not comfortable and the tiles where her head bashed the kitchen floor seem to have shrunk. Readers will eagerly wait to find out what is happened to the vulnerable and frightened Katherine. Karen Robards proves once again she is a stupendous storyteller.

This book was very hard to put down. Alot of twist and turns, very good reading. Characters were easy to relate to and the storyline is great.

Pretty good book that my Mother passed down to me.

One of her worst books. The story line starts out with great promise but soon becomes silly and contrived. I was so disappointed in this book because the author had a really interesting idea for a book and could have made it into something worth reading. As it is, I wouldn't waste my time with this book.
