Wicked Obsession (The Paladin League Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.4 out of 5 stars 370 ratings

Finalist for Best Romantic Suspense in the Carolyn Readers Choice Awards!

Blue-Blooded Woman
As an ambassador’s daughter, Langley Canfield has lived all over the world, but she’s never fit in—not abroad and not at home. She thought she found a man who loved her, but when it becomes obvious that she’s the only one with deep feelings, Langley breaks up with him and heads across the country for a friend’s wedding.

Blue-Collar Guy
Special Forces Sergeant Ryder Pienkowski knew that he’d never be able to hold on to Langley Canfield, that she was completely out of his league, but it still stuns him when she ends things between them. He’s trying to get her out of his head when her father arrives and tells Ryder there’s a death threat directed at her. Without hesitation, Ryder hops on a plane and flies out to protect Langley. She might not want him anymore, but he’s not letting anyone hurt her.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Patti O'Shea's passions are writing, airplanes and traveling. Fortunately, she's been able to enjoy all three. After receiving a degree in advertising copywriting, she took a job with a major U.S. airline and now works in 757 Engineering. Besides teaching her about the planes she loves, it's given her an opportunity to travel to places like Australia, Papua New Guinea and Canada's Yukon Territory.

Writing, though, remains her primary love. Patti created her first romance when she was in junior high school and has been hooked ever since. She should have figured out she was a writer years earlier, however, since her dolls had such involved lives, complete with goals, motivation and conflict.

    Langley Canfield is the daughter of an ambassador and has had a very cosmopolitan upbringing, while Ryder Pienkowski is a blue collar kind of guy, a Special Forces sergeant who met Langley when his team rescued her from a kidnapping. Somehow they just clicked and have been dating until Langley decides their relationship is going nowhere and ends things. Of course Ryder has been holding back because he thinks he isn’t good enough for her, basically one big misunderstanding for them both. When there is a threat against Langley, her father convinces Ryder and three of his Special Forces friends to go protect her, unofficially. Things become more dangerous than expected, but Ryder is determined to protect the woman he loves at any cost, and through the experience realizes she has more grit and backbone than he ever realized, despite coming from a wealthy and privileged family, and that he’s been the problem all along. I really enjoyed the story and look forward to reading more in this series.

    It's hard to like a book when you think the H is a jerk and Ryder was a jerk. He is right, Langley can do much better, even at the very end. Lots of action but just ok story.
    FYI, book ends at 92%
    This is the first book I've read by this author. I'm not interested in her other books categories so it might be my last.

    Downloaded this book on a whim because one of the characters was in another book I read. Thoroughly enjoyed this book! In face, I couldn’t put it down and had my phone out offscreen when I was supposed to be in a work zoom. Very well plotted with lots of twists and turns. Even at the end I wasn’t quite sure how it was going to work out. And I adored these characters. There was a very genuine conflict between them that they had to work out, and it wasn’t just worked out between the sheets. Two enthusiastic thumbs up!
