The Obsession by Nora Roberts

It has been a longgg time since I did a "for me" review loves.  Glad to finally be back!

I finished up list 4 of the Nutmeg contenders (had the meeting on those tonight actually) and list 5 isn't complete for ordering yet.  I was super happy that this little lull coincided with one of my holds coming in to WHPL.

If you've followed my blog for a while, you know Romance is not usually my thing, but I'm a total sucker for Nora Roberts (thank my sister).  I got on the waiting list for this one, and I'm glad I did.

Keep in mind, this is a adult romance/mystery.  There is sex (although less graphic than is usual for Roberts) and 2 serial murderer/rapist/wackos.

Naomi was a just a child when she discovered her father was a serial rapist and murderer.  Her mother never recovers from this news and attempts to defend the monster.  Naomi, her brother, and two uncles (her mother's brother and his husband) form a family and try their best to be "normal".

Fast forward several years and Naomi is living on the West Coast, weekly Skyping with her brother and uncles across the country.  She's a famous photographer who just bought a ramshackle mansion with the intent of restoring it, while documenting the process in pictures.

Enter Xander, super hot mechanic and best friend of her contractor.  Oh, and a stray dog named Tag who totally steals the show.

Everything seems to be going great, until someone starts copycating Naomi's father's crimes.  

Don't want to spoil any more here!
