  OBSESSED The Pointe of Love - Book Three by Sonia Blue Release Date: May 14, 2025 Review I enjoyed the writing style and the world-building. The characters, including the side characters, felt well-developed. Rain and Mason each have issues that leave them feeling slightly damaged. When Mason takes Rain into his house in exchange for some modelling, these two become intertwined and slightly co-dependent.

But once they found a way through their personal issues, they made a really wonderful couple. Add to your TBR List GOODREADS LINK Synopsis How can you fall in love when you don’t believe in it?
