Dangerous Obsession

Men of Valor Springs #4

by Cassi Hart

Arya
Being a Bratva princess isn’t easy, and with an older brother as protective as mine calling the shots, I’m lucky he let me return home to Rosewood at all. I’ve spent most of my life attending boarding schools in Belgium, but now that I’m an adult, I want the freedom to decide where I live. I’ve barely spent any time in Rosewood over the years, so it isn’t the town calling me back, it’s the man I know I’ll find there. Jax is my brother’s best friend and his second in command. From the time I was a little girl, I adored Jax and the way he always made sure I was protected. For some reason, his overbearing nature doesn’t annoy me the way my brother’s does. But Jax still sees me as the little girl who went off to boarding school. He hasn’t noticed that I’m all grown up. But he’s going to. I might not be experienced or worldly, but I am determined. When a threat to my life has my big brother assigning Jax to be my personal bodyguard, I realize this is my chance. But can I convince Jax to open his eyes and see what’s always been waiting for him? Or will his loyalty to my brother overshadow everything else?

Jax
Working for the Andreyev family has always been my destiny. Even joining the Marines didn’t change that. Vlad might be the one to issue the orders, but it’s me who ensures those orders are carried out. And I’m good at my job. It’s been my sole focus for years, after all. I’m loyal to my core, and there is nothing I won’t do for my best friend and boss…except maybe keep my hands off his baby sister. Arya is back after years abroad, and she is no longer the pint-sized princess I remember. No, now she’s a fully grown woman and absolutely gorgeous. She has the body of siren, but she can’t hide her inexperience. She’s the worst kind of temptation, and I have no choice to but keep my distance or risk everything I’ve worked so hard to achieve. But staying away becomes impossible when someone tries to hurt her and Vlad appoints me as her personal bodyguard. What better way to ensure Arya’s safety than to keep her in my bed? But once I have her there, I can’t let her go. Arya might be Bratva royalty, but she’s mine, and I’m going to make sure everyone knows it.

Arya and Jax

Jax is the mafia lord right hand trusted completely for his many years of loyalty. When his boss's little sister is almost killed twice, he gets charged with her safety.
What he didn't expect was the red hot attraction between them, something that blindsided him. But, despite it all, he is determined to keep her and never let her get out of his siht

Arya is a bratva princess that was always abroad at a boarding school. Now she is back in Valor Springs and after being threatened and targeted she now lives as a prisoner in her brother's home. Jax is her brother's second in command and gets tasked with being her bodyguard. Jax never saw Arya as more than his boss's sister, but that now changes. He tries to stay away, but Arya had a crush on the hot older man for years and now she won't stop until she gets her chance with him. Steamy, romantic, sweet, tiny bit daddy/good girl play, with a bit of action and with a sweet HEA 😍😍
For safety lovers: not safe because they knew each other for years and he still dated. But she was underage and he never thought of her that way before🤷🏻‍♀️

TROPES:
~brother's best friend
~instalove!

This wasn't my favorite Cassi Hart novella. It's a brother's best friend romance, which I loved, but the spice could've been better and the pacing of the story could've been better as well.

SAFETY:
Virgin/celibate: virgin heroine, not a manwhore hero
OM/OW drama: none
Cheating/sharing: none
HEA?: yes!

Arya is the younger sister to none other than Vladimir Andreyev, the head of the Andreyev family and ultimately the one who is in charge of her life, she has finally been allowed to return home after her schooling in Belgium but appears that she has swapped one prison for another. Now she has the family mansion to herself and is surrounded by guards. The only plus is that her main bodyguard is Jax her brother’s best friend and her now permanent bodyguard. Ayra is determined to have a life that she wants not one that everyone else chooses for her and she is starting with the thing she wants the most Jax. Will Jax finally see the woman she is and not just as Vlad’s little sister or will she have to force his hand?

Jax Abbott is the best friend and the enforcer for Vladimir Andreyev, he has known what his life would be like since he was a child and also to follow in his father’s footsteps. Things have been changing within the family recently with Vlad finding the woman of his dreams but with his younger sister Arya now living back at home and two attempts have been made upon her life within a short amount of time he has decided that she is in need of a personal bodyguard, and he is the only man that he trusts. Jax has always kept his distance from Ayra, but since her return from Belgium he has noticed that she is no longer a little girl but a woman. Hiding his attraction is becoming impossible especially as she is pushing for more. Will Jax be able to control how he feels for the Mafia princess and protect her from the threat to the family or will he fail when he is needed the most?

This was in a way quite a sad story Arya has been ignored most of her life after her mother vanishes and the person in her life the most was her brother; all she has ever really wanted was to be loved and to be seen. Jax is the one person that sees her, but can he give her love that she needs. Yet another fab read and I am loving this series. 4.7* read.

Cassi Hart delivers another spellbinding installment in the Men of Valor Springs series with Dangerous Obsession, blending steamy romance, thrilling suspense, and the high-stakes world of Bratva royalty. This book is perfect for fans of protective heroes, forbidden love, and small-town drama.

Arya, the spirited Bratva princess, returns to Rosewood with her sights set on one thing: Jax, her brother’s best friend and trusted second-in-command. Her determination to show Jax that she’s no longer the little girl he remembers makes her a relatable and fiery heroine. The chemistry between Arya and Jax is undeniable, and their slow-burning connection is electrifying as Arya fights to prove she’s ready for love—and danger.

Jax is everything you’d want in a brooding alpha hero. His unwavering loyalty to Arya’s brother creates a tension that crackles throughout the story. Watching him battle his protective instincts and his undeniable attraction to Arya adds depth to his character, making his eventual surrender to their love all the more satisfying.

The suspenseful elements elevate the story, with Arya’s life under threat and Jax stepping up as her personal bodyguard. The danger feels real and keeps the pages turning, but the heart of the story lies in Arya and Jax’s journey from forbidden longing to all-consuming passion.

Dangerous Obsession expertly balances action, romance, and emotional intensity, pulling you into the world of Valor Springs and the complex ties that bind its characters. If you’re looking for a pulse-pounding romance with a protective alpha, a feisty heroine, and a love worth risking it all, this book will leave you breathless.

Being the sister of Vlad, Pakhan to the Russian Mafia, will always carry with it dangers. But with this last attempt (car "accident") Vlad realized he needs to up her protection with a bodyguard who he knows will protect her at all costs and who better than his right hand man and best friend, Jax.

The problem is that Arya's had a crush on him since she was younger and Jax started to notice her when she recently got back from Belgium (where Vlad sent her up keep her safe). He tries to decline the position saying he has lots of people that he can suggest but Vlad had already made his decision.

Jax is super protective and obsessed with Arya, he can't stop thinking about her and she has finally decided to make a move on him, even though she's still innocent and he's much older than she is.

This was a quick & steamy Mafia read and if that's what you're looking for then I definitely recommend you pick this up!

She wants to be seen, she wants someone to put her first, but more importantly, she wants to be loved. 

Jax Abbott is the best friend and enforcer for Vlad Andreyev of the Bratva. His father had been the enforcer for Vlad's father. Jax had been a Marine for six years but left when Vlad took over after his father's death. Jax is the number one man if Vlad is away. Over the years with Vlad in charge, the family has branched out into more legitimate businesses. 

Arya Andreyev is Vlad's half sister. She was only two when her mother, her father's mistress, dumped her at her father's mansion. Her father didn't want her any more than her mother did. Her mother had started a second family and didn't want her in it. Both Vlad and Jax became her protectors. 

Vlad sent her to Belgium when she was seven to protect her. At the boarding school, she didn't know anyone, nor could she speak any of the three official languages. Now, at age nineteen, she recently returned to the US. Still, she's left alone in the mansion every weekend, except for the outside guards. Her entire life she's felt unwanted and forgotten. No one has ever put her first. She's sick and tired of it, and things are going to change! 

She's in the crosshairs of enemies of Vlad. Attempts have already been made on her life. She even had a man threaten her at a family-owned gentleman's club. 

She's loved Jax for years. The big question is, will he ever love her back?

Jax and Arya have been dancing around each other for a while now. Arya always had a crush her brother’s best friend and right hand man. Over the years it has turned into something deeper the more she gets to know him. Thinking she is alone in this, she has never said or done anything about it.

After 2 attempts on Arya’s life (to get at her brother Vlad) Vlad turns to his best friend. Before Jax knows it he is Arya’s bodyguard and the attraction he has been having towards her amplify, but she is forbidden. I love how protective and possessive Jax is. He cares for her so much, while waring internally about how he shouldn’t want her. But once he lets go, nothing will keep them apart. So can Jax find the balance between wanting her and protecting her?

I enjoyed the dynamic and opposite characteristics of these two, they fit so well together and it brought another level to their relationship. Seeing Arya open up more and get stronger and more confident was great. He even has some sweet moments with her, and only her!

The author even threw in a touch a suspense at the end, which I loved!

4.5 ⭐️

[Sheila M. · Rating 5 out of 5]

Dangerous Obsession is a continuation of the Men of Valor Springs series but can be read as a standalone. It is a great book! This book features Jax Abbot and Arya Andreyev. Jax is the 35-year-old best friend, right hand man, and enforcer of Vlad, the pakhan of the Andreyev Bratva. Arya is the 19-year-old beloved little sister of Vlad, who until recently had been hidden in Belgium for her safety, only coming home intermittently for short visits. During the five months she has been in Valor Springs, there have been two attempts on her life. Vlad, in his frustration because Arya refuses to go back to Belgium, assigns Jax as her personal bodyguard. She has yearned for him for ten years. He just realized that she has become a woman since she had been home. They are like a match and dynamite, burning for each other and ready to combust.

This book is a short, spicy, suspense, mafia-lite story, with strong MCs with big emotions. It kept my interest and had me turning the pages in anticipation of what would happen next. The world building and character development are outstanding, and the pace quick. Perfect for when you want an age gap, alpha/virgin, HEA romance story you can finish in one sitting.

Part of the Men of Valor Springs series can be read as a standalone in under an hour get comfortable you won’t put it down until the last page has been turned. We met Vlad in the previous book this one is about his right-hand man Jax and his sister Arya. Jax sexy as all get out right hand to the boss has been assigned bodyguard to the one women, he has watched grow up into a beautiful women each year his attraction to her grew stronger but he also knew that was a line he couldn’t cross and he didn’t know how he was going to not cross that line with being her full time body guard. Arya has always crushed on Jax every she could remember as she got older the attraction grew especially after came home spending time with him only made her feelings stronger and knowing or feeling her brother wouldn’t allow it but not knowing how to handle being around him all the time without giving in to her feelings for him. The magnetic pull is only growing stronger will her brother be okay with the two of them being together, will her brother understand it couldn’t be helped no matter how hard they tried, will he give his blessing, and can they find their own happiness somewhere along the way of sneaking around?

Vlad is worried about the 2 attempts on his sister Arya's life. She refuses to be sent back to Belgium, so the only thing he can do is give her a permanent bodyguard and the only one he trusts is his best friend, his right hand man and enforcer Jax.

Jax doesn't want the position. Since Arya came home, he has seen her more than his best friend's kid sister, he has noticed her as a woman, something he shouldn't be entertaining!

Arya has always had a crush on Jax and over the years it has morphed into some deeper. Will he eventually be the person who sees 'Arya' the person.

A forbidden fruit that is dangled in front of Jax, but can he stay away, or is the first bite, that first burst of flavour, going to be his undoing?.

Arya (h19) has spent her life under lock and key, protected yet isolated, as the sister of powerful Bratva boss Vlad. When threats against her escalate, Vlad entrusts Jax (H35), his loyal and deadly bodyguard, to watch over her. Jax has kept his distance from Arya for years, but now, he’s by her side, and the line between duty and desire blurs. Arya is more than eager to break through his defenses, while Jax struggles with his loyalty to her brother and his undeniable attraction to her. Just as things heat up between the two, family rivalries and deadly plots place them both in the crosshairs, and as danger looms, Jax realizes he’s willing to go to any length to protect Arya. Hot and steamy forbidden, age gap, mafia, bodyguard romance, exploring love, attraction, loyalty, commitment, and the risks of trusting your heart in a world where trust can get you killed.

[Amie · Rating 5 out of 5]

Steamy romance and a happily ever after ending is what you will find with this novella which also has amazing characters as well as a great page turner that’s also easy to read.
A novella about a Bratva princess and a Bratva enforcer that fall for one another. Throughout their time together the two start falling for one another even more than what they already do.
During this time the two don't realize that old rivals of the Bratva Pakhan are coming for the Bratva princess but the two tend to the threat together. After they tend to the rival they wind up telling one another after an intimate moment that they love one another.
In no time the two elope but after the Bratva Pakhan finds out the couple have a wedding with the whole town attending. The couple are happy and in love.

Arya’s Protector

Arya is a protected and sheltered Bratva princess. Her older brother has always been protective of her and she’s been away at boarding schools while growing up. Now that she’s back and all grown up, she finds herself attracted to her brother’s friend and her childhood crush, Jax. The only problem is that Jax sees her as Vlad’s little sister.

When a threat puts Arya in danger, she needs protection and Jax is the man for the job. As these two get closer, their mutual attraction is too strong to deny. It soon doesn’t matter that she’s Bratva royalty or his friend’s little sister. They’re are meant to be together and he’ll stop at nothing to make sure she’s safe.

Very good story with a tried and true plot. Action, thrill and some steamy heat all packed in one book. Well done!

Arya is a Bratva princess that her brother sent her to boarding school to protect her. Since she has been back in Rosewood, there have been two attempts. Now her brother, Vlad, assigns his second in command to look after her. What Jax does not know is she has been in love with him.

Jax has always been destined to work for Vlad, his father for worked for his. When he is tasked for looking out of Arya, Vlad's sister he does not know how he is going to survive it. She is not a child anymore and makes him think of dirty things to do her.

He will need to protect her from outside threats but who will protect her from him? What will her brother do when he finds out the man he trusted the most did not keep his hands off his sister? Jax is just what Arya needed, someone to take the loneliness away.

Dangerous Obsession is quite suspenseful and a definite page-turner of a mafia romance. I LOVED both Arya and Jax right from the beginning of the book. Dangerous Obsession had me on the edge of my seat the entire time I was reading the book. Author Cassi Hart continues to write breathtaking romance books that I have absolutely enjoyed reading. Dangerous Obsession has a marvelous plot, spectacular characters, and an outstanding final outcome for the main characters. I couldn’t get enough of Arya and Jax’s remarkable story. I do love that Arya and Jax have a happy ending to their love story. I would definitely recommend Dangerous Obsession for anyone to read this remarkable mafia romance. I can’t wait to see what else Author Cassi Hart will come up with for her next book.

She is forbidden, totally off limits. A Bratva princess, his best friend/boss’ much younger sister. But when Jax is assigned as her personal bodyguard all bets are off.
Arya has been in love with Jax since she was a little girl. She never thought he would see her as anything but his best friend’s little sister.
When her life is threatened Iax knows he is the only one who can protect her.
Everyone needs a Jax in their life. He is the true definition alpha male, overprotective and powerful. However he is nothing but a sweet cinnamon roll when it comes to Arya.
If a short instalove dirty talking alpha is what you want then Cassi is your girl.

If you read the previous book you could feel the tension between Arya and Jax, but if you haven’t don’t worry because when you dive into this their story it’s still there just intensified. Arya has been living her life away from her brother’s empire for her safety, but it has left her lonely. She has admired Jax for so long from afar but now she might have her chance to prove to him that she is a grown up now. Jax is fighting his growing attraction to his best friend and boss’ sister, but sometimes fate has a way of stepping in and handling things. Now it’s Jax’s job to protect Arya from any and all threats but can he stop from falling for the woman he isn’t supposed to? Such a sweet and steamy read with some action that will have you falling in love.

Arya is Vlads sister from book 3 and Jax is his best friend. For ten years Arya has been in love with Jax but due to age difference he never noticed her till now. She’s in danger and it’s up to Jax to keep her safe from enemies but are they safe from each other? This was seriously a steamy read, she acted so innocently but she knew how to handle him and he was a goner for her. A great read, Cassi really knows how to play with our imagination and make the characters so real and get us flustered at the same time. My only issue is the FMC calling him Daddy, it’s really not my thing but that’s just me, it doesn’t take away what a fab read this was. Looking forward to the next Valor Spring book.

I have to say that while I have been enjoying the series this one has been my favorite so far! The chemistry and connection between these two are one of the reasons I enjoy Cassi Hart. It’s a shorter story but it has feelings and some depth. Arya has been in love with Jax for over 10 years. I love how you get that glimpse into how she has dealt h with that and felt about that. And how she holds no grudge for him not feeling the same way. After all-there is a big age gap between them. And I loved Jax. So recently attracted to her and yet when he finally gives in, so attached and protective of her. I loved them together. There is some danger and he is her bodyguard. It was wonderfully done!

I did receive an ARC and this is my honest opinion.

[Trina Jones · Rating 5 out of 5]

OH WOW this was another great story from Cassi Hart. It was a page turner and the suspense was intense. I was on the edge of my seat and I couldn't even put it down. Arya and Jax this romance was forbidden he the family bodyguard. And they couldn't even fight the temptation any longer and they gave into passion . Family loyal was on the line but the chemistry and the physical attraction was sexual tension and romance of chaos. And one night with him will change ever thing in her life. How would her family feel about their romance relationship.
I highly recommend this book and you won't be disappointed. I received advance copy of this book via Bookfunnel and am voluntarily leaving my honest review. Trina Jones

Protecting more than her body

Dangerous Obsession is the fourth book in the Men of Valor Springs series. This story is about Arya and Jax. They have known each other since forever but are about to really see each other in a new way, well at least he is going to as she has always loved him. He is protective and possessive and that will extend to Arya when he has to keep her safe from those that are threatening her. He may be dangerous himself but this man will be more dangerous to Arya's heart than anything else. Good thing he realizes that he has to keep it safe as well as her physically. The book is fast-paced, has danger, some suspense, a lot of sizzle smexy naughty fun and a HEA.

Dangerous Obsession is Book 4 in the Men of Valor Springs series. It's a short and steamy, instalove, OTT, age-gap, girl gets her brother's best friend mafia romance. Arya is the younger sister of the Russian mafia leader, Vlad. Jax is a hunky, ex-military man and Vlad's best friend. Vlad assigns him as Arya’s bodygua to protect her after another attempt on her life. The two have been crushing on each other for some time, but Jax is worried about the age gap and Vlad. This was such a fast-paced steamy read. The chemistry between these two was off the charts hot 🔥 and the ending was happy after some drama. Another great read from Cassi! I loved it!!.

We meet Arya and Jax in The Mobster's Flower. Arya is Vlad's little sister and Jax is his best friend/right hand man. Arya has crushed on Jax for years but he is a good decade plus older than her and never looked twice. Or did he?

Arya is back in Valor Springs and she may be leaving again but not before she gets time with Jax. She wants him no matter what.

Jax notices what Arya is up to and is fighting to maintain control. She is beautiful and his best friend would not be happy if he knew what Jax really thinks when it comes to Arya.

With her life being threatened, can Jax keep her safe? When he gives in to his feelings, will he lose everything?

Definitely wanted more of these two.

The enforcer's Princess

Ah! I love this visit to Valor Springs, Arya has been in love with Jax for as long as she can remember and I really enjoyed seeing her bravery as she propositions Jax and challenges him to take what he desires. He's told himself she's forbidden, she's totally off limits and far too innocent but the more time they spend together, the harder it is to remember....he shouldn't imagine, shouldn't fantasise, definitely shouldn't touch...but the second he does....there will be no more resisting, just claiming. She is his forever, just as he is hers and I love seeing his determination that they claim each other and have the future they have both been dreaming of!
Sexy, very steamy and decidedly naughty, I read this on Kindle Unlimited.

Vlad's sister Arya is home now but after having two attempts on her life Vlad wants to send her back to Belgium. Talking with Jax makes Vlad realize that Arya needs a bodyguard and Vlad insists on Jax being that bodyguard. Arya has loved Jax since she was small and is ecstatic that he will be her bodyguard. Jax loves Arya but being his boss's sister knows not to touch but can he stop himself when she wants him just as bad. Can Jax love Arya and protect her at the same time. I loved Jax and Arya, fast paced steamy hot read with a great couple. I received an ARC copy and this is my honest review.

This is “Dangerous Obsession”: Small Town Hero’s Book 4 (Men Of Valor Springs).
Jax Abott is thirty five years old and enforcer and right hand man to Valor Springs Mafia Pakhan, Vlad Andreyev (Book 3).
Arya Andreyev is our beautiful nineteen year old MFC and Vlad Andreyev sister.
She’s had a crush on Jax all these years. Never lessening just turning to obsession…she loves him.
This is an exciting story of love long held and finally fulfilled. It’s a book of Mafia life which is always fun. An old enemy showing up. It’s a very juicy book so be aware ahead of time. And most importantly, a happy ending…👍🏻🥰.

After reading Mobster’s Flower, Vlad’s and Rue’s story, i was really hoping Jax and Arya would get one and i wasn’t disappointed with theirs! Forbidden romance is one of my favorites and this book had multiple forbidden tropes: brother’s best friend, age gap, bodyguard. If you want a spicy short read that is a guaranteed HEA you will love Jax and Arya’s story! Jax is so protective and Arya is an innocent bookworm that has loved Jax for years. Their story is so cute with a little bit of suspense/danger and lots of spice!.
