Purchase options and add-ons

On an uncharacteristic whim, an obsessive-compulsive woman vacations at an island resort where she learns how to surrender to her disorderly, capricious, and wanton inner self.

Briana's pristine life has recently gone downhill after she realized her perfect marriage was a sham. Weighed down by the burdens of her impending divorce and the shame of being a "starter wife," the hysterically out-of-control Briana calls the number printed on a postcard for a limited-time offer at a distant lodge. Upon arriving at the sex vacation resort, Briana is confronted with all of her old hang-ups and throws herself into the pleasures of exhibitionism—freeing herself from her heartbreaking past and the inhibitions that have always held her back in life.

I love this book. Sex, OCD, cheating, secret identities all make for a wonderful book of sex, love, Obsessive Compulsive Disorder mixed into one. Or should I say getting over OCD when it comes to love and sex. I am a 28 year old woman with OCD and I fell in love with this book. I love reading many books and by many I mean over 5,000 if not more. I highly recommend it for people who like love stories that go through a little tribulation. If you get this book make sure you get the other 2 that go with it or you will wonder what happened to the other women on the plane. (wink*wink)

3.0 out of 5 stars Misses the mark
Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2010

The concept of this book, a couple with a failing marriage, a wife with obsessive compulsive disorder, and a husband who doesn't know how to reach her is strong. However, the length of the book doesn't allow enough development of characters to be believable and the serious nature of the book's concept deserves more depth. I guessed the "surprise" ending about a quarter way into the book; hoping I was wrong or there was more to the book's end, but it was as anti-climatic as I feared. The sex scenes in this book were well written which is the only thing keeping it from getting 2 stars.

1.0 out of 5 stars The end to Obsessed
Reviewed in the United States on November 11, 2014

I'm not going to provide a synopsis as that has been successfully and repeatedly done by other reviewers. Rather this review will be a reflection my opinion and reaction to my experience. As an avid reader of many genres including erotica, I was all on board until the author got to the ending. This may be one of one of the worst unbelievable ending ever. After seven years of marriage, a person with OCD didn't sense or even recognize her husband' voice, scent, touch, face, or body; that I cannot swallow. Come on Devlin, the husband could have stepped out of the shadowed and been her final act on stage at the resort. She could have been blindfolded on her final night at the resort and bedded by her husband or even her husband could have been the man who shaved her and made love to her on the stage. Hell, there could have been a masquerade party on her final night where her husband seduced her while she thought it was Malaki until he kissed her and she recognized and opened to her husband. There are many possible ending that don't rest on insulting your audience and characters. It is for this reason only that I rate the book with one star.

This book is about one obsessive compulsive woman's journey to learn to relax and let go of her rigid ways by doing something totally unexpected and outside her normal daily routine after her husband dumps her after having sex with another woman in their bed!! Briana (main character) accepts an invitation to an island oasis (after much coaxing from her best friend Heather) for an erotic odyssey where she learns to free her inhibitions and in the end saves her own sanity and her marriage from divorce.

4.0 out of 5 stars needs a warning on the label
Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2009
This is not the first book I have read of Ms. Devlin. I have read a couple of others and one or two in anthology and enjoyed them. I enjoyed the concept of a sex vacation resort and Ms Devlin got the emotions across in the book. I was at first surprised at her showing the heroine as wanting her husband back. She catches him in bed with another woman and she wants him back, asks him to stay instead of getting ticked off and throwing something at him? What is wrong with the girl? But as I read more and learned about her, I could understand better why she behaves the way she does.
My only complaint is that there was no warning for a prospective reader that there was menage and anal sex. That is just not my thing. I can skip a few pages, but this story has several section of it and so it was not a book I enjoyed because of that.
If you enjoy reading that in books then you should enjoy this story. It would seem to be a bit much for such a small book but she is at a SEX resort; so it would seem that there would be a lot of sex. If you went skiing over the weekend you wouldn't go out and ski only once; you'd be out there in the snow as much as you could. So, you would expect on at a sex vacation resort to have lots and lots and lots of sex.
Pace was fast, but required in this short of a book and where she was at. Emotions were high, and came across good. If you look at the heroine from a psychological perspective, you can better understand her behaviors, reactions; she is OCD and has self-esteem issues.
What surprised me was the ending. If it has been a longer book I wouldn't have read it, due to the content of menages and anal sex, but being so short, I decided to finsish it, and for that part, I am glad.
I will be more careful from now on and review erotica books more to weed out the ones with m/m/f, but if you like that, you probably will like the book

I hate to give a judge on a book as there are so many factors involved. Personal tastes, subjective viewpoints on behaviors, actions of characters. But I will try to explain my reasons in rating.
If I were the type of enjoy menages and anal sex, then I would like this book; it has it plenty. the pace could have slowed down some, but it is a short book and sex resort, so it is accepted. The emotions and behaviors of the characters fit to what the author is trying to create.
My negatives are personal, the menages and anal sex. The ending, is definitely unusual, and the only problem I have with it is she not recognizing who was who on the island. So, overall, I would give it almost a four if I base it on what was written, not just on my personal tastes. Since they don't have it where you can do point and #, then it has to go to four.

3.0 out of 5 stars (RAW Rating: 3.5) - Deliverance
Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2009
Briana's world is turned upside down when she arrives home early and discovers her husband's infidelity. Although he warned her of his intent to cheat, she is still devastated. Briana has obsessive-compulsiv e disorder, which affects her behavior even in the bedroom. After her separation, her friend encourages her to go on an erotic vacation to address her sexual hang-ups. Once on the island, Briana relinquishes control in areas she didn't think possible and discovers her adventurous side. Will she be able to maintain this new self-image or is this just her alter ego while away?

OBESSED: An Invitation to Erotic Odyssey is one of the offerings from the Strebor Quickies line, which consist of short erotic tales. Devlin deals with the serious topic of obsessive-compulsiv e disorder and a marriage on the verge of breaking up which cannot be tackled in such a short tale. This gave the book the feel of being incomplete with sex thrown in to justify the genre of erotica. For an erotic short, I would have preferred a lighter fare.
