Blurb:

I ran away from the glitz and privilege of my famous New York City family to this small-town Texas college to find myself. I didn't expect to find him...

...the muscular, tatted bad-boy who would soon become my obsession.

He was broken, lost, and voiceless ... just like me.

His eyes smoldered me with one look.

His touch awakened the woman inside me.

And through his lips, his perfect, plush, kissable lips, he drew out the inspiration deep in my soul I did not know was there.

I needed to believe that he could save me. I wanted him to help me find my voice at last ... the voice that would set me apart from my tragically perfect family, the voice that would finally break me free ...

If only he could hear a word of it.

The College Obsession Romance series centers around a group of friends and the relationships they form during their time at a small-town Texas school. They are angsty, steamy new adult novels with HEAs and NO cheating. Although they are obsession-themed romances, there are no stalkers or psychos!

Review: 

This is the first book I have read by Daryl and I am kicking myself for taking so long.  I absolutely freaking loved this book.   Honestly I wish I could give it way more than 5 stars, that is so not enough.

I loved getting to know Dessie and Clayton, and the secondary characters as well. 

Dessie moves to Texas to find herself, her family is famous in the Theater world. Her mom especially.  Dessie wants to find her own place, and do it on her own.   

Clayton is the bad boy, but he is so much more than that.  He stole my heart in this story.  Officially my first book boyfriend of 2017.  He works with lighting at the theater at the College that Dessie is attending.  He is not your typical male lead.  He is deaf.   

Daryl wrote this story very well.  When I first was told that one of the main characters was deaf I wasn't sure how the book was going to work, but Daryl wrote this book perfectly, from the body language, the sign language, and reading lips, the story was told perfectly. 

I look forward to reading book 2 in this series.  I also hope that we get many more stories of these characters, I want stories of Sam, Eric, and Erik and Dimitri.
