The Maddest Obsession by Danielle Lori — cover

The Maddest Obsession

Made, Book 2

Danielle Lori

Gianna Marino is loud, overdressed, and married to a man she did not choose — every piece of her performance hiding something sharper underneath. Christian Allister is a cold federal agent with ties to her mafia world, and he has the patience to wait years for the moment she stops running from him.

This book is great for

The Made series' sharpest heroine, and the one whose facade takes the longest to come down. If The Sweetest Oblivion was restrained, this one is patient in a completely different way.

Series: Made, Book 2

  • wants a heroine whose mess is the point, not a flaw to fix
  • likes an MMC whose obsession runs cold instead of loud
  • reads for the years-long slow burn over instant chemistry
  • needs the funny one to also be the most wrecked one
