Katee Robert is an author I wish I'd discovered years earlier. I absolutely adore her twisted takes on Olympus.
Sweet Obsession might be my new favourite of the series! I was hooked from page one! Poseidon where have you been all my life!?!
Highly recommend!

I loved this story!! I love how Katee finds different kink and romantic elements to explore in each and every book in this series. I absolutely didnt expect who was the dom and who was the sub, but it was a WELCOME surprise, and these two were adorable. I will admit, I had the same issue with this I did with Cassandra and Apollo, which was the insta love was a little too instalovey. but its okay, because they were adorable. I also didnt expect an epilogue, but then realized this was book 8 which means the series is going to be over soon.... Please let this series never end!!!!!

Color me surprised—I did not expect Poseidon and Icarus to become my favorite Dark Olympus couple so far! But seriously, these two stole my heart 🥹

Yes, there was smut (obviously), but like the rest of the series, the story is very much plot-driven. What really got me, though, was the vulnerability between these two. I did not expect Poseidon to be such a big softie, but he was—an absolute soul-match for Icarus, helping him see his own worth and that life doesn’t have to be purely transactional.

We’re creeping toward the end of the series, and things are getting delightfully unhinged. Hera—as always—was a whole situation. I love her, I hate her, and I cannot wait for her and Zeus’s book later this year.

And speaking of Zeus, this is the first time we really get to see him lose his damn mind, which means there’s definitely some fire hiding under all that cool, calculated stoicism. I’m ready for the spice 😏

Another great addition for Katee Robert! I am a huge fan of her writing and this one was just as good. Also, that cover is such a stunner!

A scorchingly hot modern retelling of Poseidon and Icarus. that I couldn't put down. Again, I love this series, so any novel makes me happy.

thank you to netgalley and the publisher for this arc! possibly one of my favorites in the series. i feel like there was a lull for a bit in dark olympus, but this relationship had me giggling and kicking my feet. mx. katee robert you did it again.

I enjoyed the unique, steamy opening to set up the story. The characters have great chemistry. I adore when a sassy, confident female lead meets a broody guy. It is catnip to my soul and Katee Robert knows how to deliver this type of story. She has become a must-read author for me & this romance was no exception!

I'm not sure I like Icarus or Poseidon. Lol. I definitely didn't feel drawn to this story as most the others...but more so than the last book whose characters I can't actually remember right now. I just didn't blow through this one pr the last one in this series the way I did all the others. Of course I'm going to continue reading them...AND owning them. But during rereads I just may not dive into this one.

The war for Olympus heats up, and, in the meantime, Poseidon and Icarus find time to get to know one another. Poseidon has been a figure of mystery throughout this series, so finally getting his book and spending time with him was so rewarding. But watching this figure of power and authority happily hand his submission over to Icarus? So satisfying to see. The levels of trust these two build, especially while the question of where Icarus' loyalties lie is swirling, is wonderful to witness. Their foundation grows so strong that this book dares to ask a question the others in this series don't: can we have a happily ever after?

Wow! I absolutely loved this book. Amazing characters and wonderful plots. Very beautifully written and easy to read.

Sweet Obsession kept me hooked from start to finish. It’s the latest in the Dark Olympus series and follows Poseidon and Icarus as they fall for each other—even though Icarus starts off as Poseidon’s captive. The slow-burn romance is genuinely sweet, with great chemistry and emotional depth

I loved this book!! I love this series and I was so excited for Poseidon and Icarus’ story, and it was well worth the wait. Poseidon being a big softy was excellent, and Icarus surprised and delighted me. I feel like this book served a purpose of setting up the final two. I’m so excited for what is going to be an epic conclusion but first…where’s Hermes??

After genuinely enjoying the first several books of this series, I'm sad to say that the Dark Olympus books have just really lost steam for me. I REALLY wanted to like this one, too, since it was MM. Unfortunately I just couldn't find a way to feel connected to the characters, and the overarching plot has just become too convoluted to follow.

Giving it three stars nevertheless because the author has a talent for spice, so if you need a good spicy book, this was reliable.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for the arc.

I love Greek mythology and (surprisingly) enjoying the modern take on it. I like how it furthers the story and I'm looking forward to the final 2 book!

I am in love with Icarus & Poseidon, the slow burn between the two happens to be one of my favorite stories.

I loved this series at the start but I do feel like it is dragging on a bit now. Katee is the spice queen though, so that part of it was definitely worth the read! And love the diversity in all her books.

Eh, least favorite of the series so far. It wasn’t bad, it was just boring. I felt like there was just something missing. Maybe too sweet?

I really enjoyed this scorchingly hot modern retelling of Poseidon and Icarus! Thank you so, so much to the author, publisher, and Netgalley for allowing me to read this title!

Blurb:
He was mine to protect. Mine to adore. Mine to lose forever.

Icarus may not have flown particularly close to the sun, but he has fallen…right into the rough hands of Olympus's own Poseidon. Being held captive by the gentle giant wouldn't be so bad if Olympus wasn't on the eve of destruction…or if Poseidon stopped looking at him with those irresistibly stormy eyes.

Poseidon doesn't have time to babysit his increasingly bratty prisoner, but he has no choice: Olympus is officially at war, and someone has to keep their best bargaining chip out of harm's way. The thing is, the longer Poseidon is with Icarus, the more he starts to care for his sworn enemy...and the more he realizes that Icarus isn't the villain he's been made out to be. There's a warmth to him, a vulnerability, that Poseidon finds difficult to ignore or deny.

Now with Circe and the Aeaens at the gate and Olympus a hair's breadth away from falling, Poseidon will have to make a difficult choice: about himself, about his allegiances, and about the man who woke his heart from its long slumber only to threaten to break it for good...

I have a SWEET OBSESSION with this series. This is the first MM romance book I've ever read and was engulfed in it. Their stories and developing love had me tearing up and smiling throughout the book. Poseidon and Icarus has my heart and the ending was beautiful. I am so excited to see what happens next!

okay, i was so excited to read this book in particular because i essentially knew nothing about poseidon and the only thing i knew about icarus was that one hozier lyric. all the other books in this series i knew a bit more about the mythos; so this one was great because i got to know them through katee robert's interpretation of them. first of all, i am absolutely weak for a MLM relationship and some good ole neurodivergent representation. poseidon has largely been absent from the series, so it was interesting to see how he ties in to everything.

my one complaint (and i feel it's more of a 'me' issue) is that some characters are introduced with different names, then get their title names. once with ares was enough, but i always have to reference the guide katee created because im dumb and forget LOL
