She thinks it is her but she doesn’t know she has a “guardian angel” who watches over her every move because he feels that she belongs to him. And guys that show interest in dating her mysteriously disappear. You’re here, and you’re mine, and it was all worth it in the end.”ĭove cannot get over the feeling she is being watched. The darkness I’ve endured, but that’s okay because now you’re mine. You have no idea the things I’ve done for you. Great read, one that I would highly recommend.“You’re everything, Dove. Will their past disappointments and bitter endings stop them from coming together to finally get what they are lacking in their lives? The deeper I got in this book, the more I wanted them to just end their issues and come together as one. Even adults can act childish when it comes to affairs of the heart. Yes, they do spend their time bickering like "teenagers", but that's what makes this story so lighthearted. During the story, they get thrown together on two different investigations reckless endangerment and murder.

However, they are both missing one important element: love. They also have a caring family, loyal friends, and gorgeous views of Vermont.

She's an attorney, and he works for the state police. This book really drew me in, making me yearn for more. By the end of it, I was not only very pleased that I decided to read it, but I found myself wanting to read the next one in the series immediately. I liked the premise, which is why I added it to my collection, but I was still a bit unsure. I didn't know what to expect before reading A Customary Obsession. I was not disappointed with the book, and the prologue got me hooked but terribly off course, and the plot was not what I earlier expected it to be.

What I particularly find interesting is the depth of the story with characters who are fully developed, albeit with their own flaws, and a plot that is as unpredictable as the seasons.

Set in breathtaking Vermont with the story unfolding in three seasons – summer, autumn and winter - but not strictly confined within, Jane Graiko’s eclectic mix of mystery, crime, suspense and romance makes A Customary Obsession a readable and enjoyable book. Apparently playing cat-and-mouse game with someone from whom they are fleeing, leaving the reader in suspended disbelief, it is a magnificent introduction to a wonderful story full of suspense, mystery and its fair share of romance. Riveting and suspenseful, the reader is introduced to the story in an explosive manner in the prologue as a mother and her boy sprinted across the parking lot to the waiting minivan as lightning lit the dark sky. A Customary Obsession by Jane Graiko is one of those novels not easy to describe.
