If you're into insta-love and OTT bulldozer MMCs, then this book is definitely for you; it has plenty of both and so much more. Also, if you know this author's other college series and really liked it, I think you’re going to enjoy this one too.
It’s not really plot-heavy and feels more like a novella to me; the relationship between Bash (20) and Livy (20) escalated way too fast, and the suspense wrapped up a bit too quickly. If these things don’t bother you or you’re just looking for something to read that doesn’t require much thought, you might want to give this a shot.
Overall, not bad for a quick read, but be sure to check the CW/TW!
Thank you to Smuthood and Ms. Snow for the ARC.

You can’t imagine how much it actually pains me to give a London Snow’s book such a rating 😭 but something did not work fully for me in this one…
As always, I loved the characters. Livy and Bash were everything, I’m obsessed with the way those MMCs love their love interests. Sebastian didn’t disappoint in those terms for sure, he’s an OTT king we all want and need🤭🤭🤭
I can’t wait to read about the secondary characters too, already intrigued in those couples, waiting patiently for their time to come 🤭
Unfortunately, I felt like the book was a bit rushed. After having started off with a quite boring first 35%, I finally got what I wanted, but it wasn’t THAT satisfying, the plot was moving a bit too fast for me. Their first real interaction was 35% in exactly, previous chapters mostly told (and showed a few times) the stalking ways of Sebastian. I wish it had more showing than telling though. And while I get it that we needed to see him stalking her, I felt like it could be much shorter and more concise. After those 35% we finally got some romance, and it was unfortunately too insta-lovey for my liking. They just straight up started being a couple, and then the romance rushed from here so quickly that it ended up being underwhelming. And such a shame, because I really loved those characters!!!
The suspense part of the book didn’t satisfy me either, it was weakly done, I was surprised to find out that it was actually it, and nothing more was coming after that.
In all honesty, I cannot wait for the next books written by London. She’s one of my favourite authors, I know I can trust her fully with safety, so I will always appreciate her! Such a shame I didn’t fully love this one, but it wasn’t the worst, just a bit rushed in many terms.
Thank you to Samantha from The Smuthood and the author London Snow for sending me this ARC! 🫶🏼

Review of advance copy received from Auteur
The book wasn't bad, if you want an OTT EXTREMELY insta lust and insta love with no drama, and no real plot then you're enjoy this.
Personally i found myself bored alot, they only started fully interacting on chapter 11/12, so for 35% we just have him repeatedly stalking her, talking about what he wants to do to her, and her knowing she's being stalked and is scared that's literally it.
then last half of the book was very underwhelming, they were a boring couple.
it was OTT insta love and insta Lust and not in a good way, especially on Bash's side, i felt like we never got a chapter from his pov where he didn't talk about her body and wanting to have sex with her, and constantly being hard, he was overly lustful with no real connection.
and no offense to Livy but why was Bash obsessed with her? i felt like it was more trauma bonding than an actual connection.
the only other thing Bash thought about other than fucking Livy, was murdering people.
Safety :
- safe, both virgins.
- no opd

Livy: I feel a presence always following me, I can never find it, can never put my finger on it. Until him. Sebastian Vale is gorgeous, huge & unhinged & for some reason he wants me. I’ve never been safe since I lost my parents, but there’s something about him that makes me feel like I can trust him.

Thank you to the smut hood for this ARC 🫶🏻
Sebastian has been looking for Livingston for 10 years. When he finds out where she is, he is going to go get her. Bash follows Livy, watching from afar and keeping her safe. But she has another stalker sending her threats!
Livy lived in foster homes after the death of her parents and hasn’t felt truly at home. Sebastian is possessive, obsessive, and not apologetic about it! Although he’s been watching her, she knows he’s safe. When they find out who else has been lurking in the shadows, it’s up to Bash and his friends to save Livingston! I definitely didn’t know who the other stalker was until it was revealed!
This was another great one from London! These two saved themselves for each other and are definitely soulmates🎀🏉

Book: Rucking Obsessed, by London Snow 🏉🍀
I received this book yesterday and I already finished it. So, what can I say, except that I loved it? I literally couldn’t put it down. The characters, the plot, the sceneries, the relationships, and everything felt right on the spot.
I was NOT expecting that plot twist though.
The way the story unfolds leaves you wanting more and more, you want more interactions between the main characters, you love the side characters and you just want more.
London writes the best fiction man/stalker/boyfriend I’ve read, and I don’t think I’ve ever read a book this fast.💚
Bash gives you the broody, stalker, touch my girl and you die, kind of energy we all love and adore. Livy is a badass FMC as well, she can stand up for herself and she knows it. And when you’re done with the book, you want so much more.
And let me say, my favorite character was definitely Sparkles, aka ✨Sprinkles.✨
I loved their backstory, and the way Bash felt protective over her, and the way the author writes, it’s like you’re really inside the story, it’s like they’re speaking to you directly.
It’s also good to change a bit from the hockey we’re all a little “used to” in sports romance, and moving up to rugby felt like a nice choice, it’s not a sport we see that much (at least I don’t), so it felt new, it felt shiny, it felt different, and I hope we get a little more insight on it in the next books.
Also I enjoyed very much the mentions of previous characters from her other books, for me personally that’s a huge yes when reading different series on the same authors, I love the intertwining stories.
All I can say is, if you enjoy a good stalker romance, sports, badass FMC, touch her and die energy MMC (where he literally does good on his word), you’re definitely gonna love this book. 🖤💚
My rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/5
Major Themes & Potential Triggers:
Stalking & Obsessive Behavior: The MMC tracks the FMC, watches her, and intervenes in her life to keep her safe (or out of obsession).
Dark Romance Themes: "Touch her and die" tropes, extreme possessiveness.
Violence: Potential for violent attacks, threats, and physical altercations.
Sexual Content: High-steam, explicit open-door scenes.
Suspense/Thriller Elements: Often involves kidnapping, stalking, and "who-done-it" mysteries.
Trauma: Mentions of death, grief, and past abusive behaviors.
Specific Trope Mentions: Mask play, surveillance, and "cock warming".
Notes on Content:
Not Enemies to Lovers: The main characters usually do not have malice between them; the obsession is often mutual or accepted, even if initially jarring.
Dark-ish Romance: The author explicitly advises reading with caution due to these dark themes

Review of advance copy
I am not okay. Like… actually unwell after this book in the best possible way. Did I stay up way to late to inhale this, yes I did, do I regret it nope not one bit.
Rucking Obsessed by London Snow absolutely grabbed me by the throat, whispered “mine”, and I just said thank you and turned the page faster.
Sebastian??? SIR??? 🚨
This man is unhinged, devoted, obsessive in a way that should be terrifying but instead had me melting into a puddle of “I volunteer as tribute.” The whole “MySongbird, 3,748 days” thing??? I was DONE. Gone. Spirit left my body. The precision, the patience, the worship??? This isn’t just longing, this is a full-blown religion and Livingston is the only deity he believes in.
And Livingston 😭 my girl!! She’s not weak, not naive, and the way their dynamic unfolds?? There’s no weird forced conflict or enemies-to-lovers drama, just this intense, all-consuming connection that’s been building in the shadows for YEARS. When it finally starts coming to light?? The tension snaps like a live wire.
Also can we talk about the vibe?? Elite rugby players with masks, trackers, surveillance?? It’s giving dark academia meets secret society meets “you were never actually alone” energy and I ate every single crumb. The Knights of St. Killian are not just living rent-free in my head, they’ve changed the locks.
The spice?? FILTHY. POSSESSIVE. Devotion wrapped in sin. Every scene felt like it was teetering on the edge of too much and then just leaned in harder. If you like your romance a little dangerous, a little obsessive, and a LOT consuming… congratulations, this is your new personality.
But seriously, check your triggers because this one doesn’t tiptoe around the dark themes. It embraces them fully and dares you to keep reading… which I obviously did at 2am with my heart racing and zero regrets.
I am OBSESSED with Sebastian.
I am OBSESSED with Livingston.
I am OBSESSED with this entire world.
London Snow really said “what if devotion was a little deranged and also incredibly hot?” and I, for one, am eternally grateful.
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Would let a masked rugby man track my every move again.

Okay, so this is Kings of Castlebrook 2.0. Bash gives off Hayden vibes. Although, in his opinion he thinks Jeremy is the "Hayden" of their little trio. Personally I think Jeremy gives off Callum vibes. He's a bit funnier. Sebastian is very serious. He's very single-minded about Livy. I mean, he's been obsessed since he was 10, so like there's that. I really think this whole group of guys needs to be studied. They really don't think about anything but their feelings about their girls. Also, none of them believe in protection. With how much unprotected sex these people have, I'm very surprised there hasn't been a whoopsie. That's the thing that throws me out of this world. Tristan and Bash are twins, yet they have the smallest amount of loyalty to each other. I mean Bash even says it, he'd chose Livy over Tristan every time. This is a WILD thought.
London sets up her next few stories in this one. Personally I can't wait for Jeremy, his will be the only one with any bit of humor. Again, he's Callum. Also, does Calder have a book? IDK, I'll have to look into it. And the third of the series will be the stepsiblings (oh look, it's Winter in Tristan). That being said, I'll still read them. These are easy and addicting little stories. They're not super deep and these men are yearning, obsessed, and possessive. They don't allow for their girls to think they have a way out and take out anyone who even thinks about looking at their girls. There isn't a third act break up, but Livy at least gets to yell at someone (spoiler alert - it's Tristan (we saw this in his book)). These girls don't stand up for themselves nearly enough. All that being said, I think London built a bigger subplot having to do with Sophie that will unfold throughout the series.
I think if you're as far into this world as I am, you should keep on going. These books are easy and fun reads. Give it a go and enjoy!

Review of advance copy received from Publisher
The Search Is Over! Rucking Obsessed is the first book in the Knights of St. Killian series by London Snow. Unhinged, morally grey MMC, shy good girl, shared traumatic past, dual virgins, a rescued Dalmatian, unpredictable suspense with a HEA. The boy/girl friend group stole the show, Ireland is the location and Rugby is the sport. Take a seat, put everything on hold and enjoy every word of this enthralling book!
TW: Somno, Primal/mask play, cockwarming, shared past traumatic event, he watches her sleep via cameras without her knowing, violence, murder, mention of a vehicle wreck (not MMCs), mention of SA (not MMCs), child witnessing parents’ murders (past/memory), mention of homelessness/witness protection and foster homes (past/memory), breaking and entering, guns, no birth control usage.
I would like to Thank The Smuthood and London Snow for my ARC and in return I voluntarily promised an honest review.
Livingston Rhodes was ten years old when her parents were murdered in front of her. She has been in witness protection and foster homes since. Now 10 years later she has left America for college in Ireland and has hope that whoever is after her will not find her.
Sebastian Vale was with Livy when her parents were murdered and he has spent every day for the past 10 years looking for her. When he got word that she's enrolled at St. Killian in Ireland, he jumps on a plane to go claim his girl.
Livy is bound and determined to find out who killed her parents but she's learned to keep looking over her shoulder and be very aware of her surroundings. She's glad to have friends who she lives with but when they convince her to attend a Rugby game and she locks eyes with a player who seems familiar, Livy knows her past might have found her.
Bash knows he needs to take things slow with Livy but when someone is threatening her his possession knows no bounds...

He spent ten years looking for her. She spent ten years running. 🖤☘️
Seb saved Liv when they were kids — and never stopped. The man is the definition of down bad. Ten years of searching, and the second he found her, he uprooted his entire life without a second thought. Unhinged. Morally grey. Completely devoted. I was feral for him from page one.
And Liv? Soft but not naive. She’s been through the unthinkable and she still knows how to stand her ground. Her trust doesn’t come easy — and it shouldn’t — but when it does, you feel every single bit of it.
Shared traumatic past. Dual virgins. A rescued Dalmatian 🐾. Ireland as the backdrop. Rugby as the sport. A friend group that absolutely stole the show. This book had NO business going that hard.
If you love a morally grey MMC who has been obsessed with one girl his entire life… this one’s for you.

Rucking Obsessed is Book 1 in the Knights of St. Killian series! This is Bash and Livy's Story!
Sebastian Vale has been obsessed with Livingston Rhodes for the past 10 years despite only meeting her once under the worst circumstance possible. He has spent an entire decade obsessing and thinking about her, wondering if she was alive and safe. Over the years his obsession for her has grown and intensified into something that neither one of them will be able to stop. He knows without a doubt that she is his soulmate and his other half.
Livingston Rhodes has spent the last 10 years in witness protection after witnessing her parents murdered the night she and bash met when they were ten years old. She has lived in and out of foster homes until she turned 18 years old. On top of that she has a stalker (other than Bash) who wants to harm her which is the reason she moved from America to Ireland in the first place. She is shy, careful, always on alert, always waiting for something to happen or someone to show up. When she's sees Bash "for the first time" at his Rugby game she feels like she knows him, which she does but doesn't remember.
Bash will stop at nothing to protect Livy and will do absolutely everything and anything to make her his. He has patiently waited and yearned for Livy for over a decade. Bash and Livy's love is so magnetic. The way Bash is so devoted to Livy is so pure and sweet to read! I love what a deep connection they have to one another.
I loved everything about this story from the very first page. If you love a story with an over the top obsessive, protective, devoted, unhinged, possessive mmc who will do anything for his girl then this is the book for you!
Thank You so much to the London Snow and The Smuthood for the ARC!!!!

Arc Review: Rucking Obsessed
This is my first book by London Snow but it is the first book in the new series Knights of St. Killian. This book follows Sebastian aka Bash and Livingston after a tragic event that took place when they were 10. She was pulled away from him that night and he spent the next decade trying to find her.
Livingston is in a private college in Ireland trying to find out what happened to her parents 10 years prior and who was responsible for their demise.
If you love an OTT, morallly grey, OBSESSIVE,POSSESSIVE MMC then Bash is your man.
He’s been hunting for Livy but he realizes he’s not the only one after her.
I felt the plot was a little slow in the beginning and a little repetitive in Bash’s POV about his stalking tendencies.
After about 40% it started to pick up then took off. It’s instalust/love so if that isn’t for you, you might not enjoy this. Livy feels very safe with Bash before even knowing who he truly is to her. Bash is the literally definition of “touch her and 💀”. He is so protective. Once their romance takes off they both learn how to explore each other since they’re both virgins. I thought that was sweet how they were each other’s first everything.
There is suspense towards the end and some darker themes so check trigger warnings.
The side characters were heavily involved in the plot and built up future books. I absolutely will want to read about Juniper and Kalen’s taboo situationship and Golden Retriever, obsessed Jeremy and Soph! Can’t forget about Sparkles the Dalmatian! ❤️
I felt it was a solid start to the series and I enjoyed it. I do play to continue the series.

2.5/5

3.5/5
If you are looking for an Insta-love dark romance and an Obsessed MMC and spice that will have you sweating for more, then this is the book for you. Rucking Obsessed is book 1 in the Knights of St. Killian series by London Snow. Firstly, I would like to thank the author, London Snow, and The Smut Hood for an ARC. Importantly, this book contains dark themes, and I would highly recommend checking the trigger/ content warnings before reading.
I was really excited to read this book as I have previously read a few of London Snow's books; however, this was an okay read. The story and plot were there, it was just a bit lacklustre, and it felt kinda rushed at the end. The plot is there, but there is just a lack of depth, and it felt kind of lighter compared to her previous books. I loved how this book connected to her previous books (I do recommend reading Pucking Unhinged before this book). I did love parts of the story where the plot would really come out, and Livy's character story. When certain things were revealed, I was shocked. Overall, I do think this is an okay book and would maybe recommend it.
Sebastian and Livy's relationship is very much an insta love with pinning. It did feel very rushed at points, and I was kind of disappointed. I do have to say there were some really cute, fluffy parts of their relationship, but it was only a very small part of the book where they were actually together . This did feel like more of a setup for the other relationship to occur in the series than this one. I really did love these two characters. I really wish we got to see more of them and their story. Overall, this was an okay book; it might be the book for you, though, releasing on 25/03/2026. Happy reading.

★★★★. Thank you so much to the author London for the opportunity to review this book early! Please be aware this will have some spoilers!
Ladies, she has done it again!
An obsessed man? Check.
A possessive man? Check.
A strong fmc with a back bone? Check.
A dual virgin because he can only handle her touch for ten years and doesn’t even think to get with someone else? CHECK!
Sebastian, Tristan’s twin was everything and more. Seeing his obsession compared to Tristan’s…oh my god. He saved his girl ten years ago and nothing was getting in his way from reclaiming his girl. He searched high and low for her..HE SPECIFICALLY WENT TO HER SCHOOL JUST TO BE WITH HER.
Livy, ugh I love you. She was so perfect. I love how she didn’t question Sebastian’s methods or how he knew everything or how he followed her around. She just knew he was it for her and was all for the stalking. I love how protective she was over her friends and even Sebastian. Her screaming at Tristan was honestly the best part.
I do wish there was a third act. I just know London could write an amazing grovel or loser mmc who messes up. And that’s my only reason for it not being 5 stars!
For my safety readers, completely safe. Dual virgins. London will never write an mmc who is obsessed yet still sleeps around. Her mmcs take their obsession to their cores.
“Holy shit. I knew she would be beautiful, but I didn’t expect her to be so stunning that it feels like my chest is cracking open with need.
My hand shoots to my chest before I even realize I’m doing it because my heart is beating so hard it fucking hurts.”

ARC REVIEW: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️/🌶️🌶️
I received this ARC and appreciate the opportunity to read and review it.
Rucking Obsessed by London Snow was my first book by this author, and overall I really enjoyed it.
Any time you give me a good stalker romance, I’m interested, and Sebastian was a really fun MMC. He is fully aware of how unhinged his behavior is and honestly seems completely fine with it, which somehow made his obsession with Livingston even more entertaining. He spent ten years searching for the girl he was with the night her parents were murdered, and once he finds her again at St. Killian’s, he is all in.
For me, what made this work was how straightforward and readable it felt. It was a quick read that I finished in a day, and the obsession element stayed strong the whole way through. Sebastian’s fixation on Livingston was intense, but there was also something weirdly sweet about the fact that he never stopped looking for her.
I also really enjoyed the found family aspect. The side characters felt important and added a lot to the world, which made me even more curious about what else is coming in the St. Killian’s universe. I’m especially interested in checking out the connected hockey books now.
Overall, this was a solid stalker romance with secret society / mafia-adjacent vibes, a memorable obsessive MMC, and just enough dark college atmosphere to keep things interesting.
Read this if you’re looking for:
• Stalker romance
• First love / second chance vibes
• Masked men
• Elite college setting
• Secret society / mafia-adjacent atmosphere
• Found family side characters

ARC REVIEW
For a “quick read” this one absolutely swings like it’s got something to prove… and trust me, it delivers 😮🔥
Bash… whew. Where do I even start? ❤️ This man doesn’t just walk into a room, he claims it. He knows exactly what he wants and has zero hesitation going after it… consequences be damned. The confidence? Dangerous. The devotion? Even worse (in the best way). When he decides something is his, he makes sure the whole world knows it. And honestly… the loyalty from his brother and friends? That ride-or-die energy just makes him even more irresistible.
And Livy… my girl 🥺 she’s been through it. Living her life constantly on edge, shaped by things no one should ever have to see, just trying to finally breathe again… only to have Bash crash into her world like a beautifully chaotic storm. And let’s be real, “sexy rugby stalker” might sound unhinged, but the way this man loves her? Obsessed. Protective. The kind of “burn the world down and build you a new one” energy that has you kicking your feet and questioning your standards a little bit 👀
The roommates? Just as chaotic, just as understanding… basically a whole house full of “we support your questionable but hot decisions” energy, and I loved every second of it.
All in all, this story is giving slow burn torture in the best way 🔥 mixed with devotion, tension, and just enough spice to keep you hooked and slightly unwell. I’m beyond grateful I got to read this as an ARC… and now I’m already impatiently waiting for the rest of these couples because I need more.
THANK YOU SMUTHOOD AND LONDON SNOW FOR ALLOWING ME TO REVIEW THIS EARLY.

Review of advance copy
O I have been waiting for this book! Rucking Obsessed by London Snow is book one in the brand new Knights of St Killian series. If you love a dark college romance, SET IN IRELAND, throw in some Rugby players, an absolutely obsessed mmc and they both are vir$ins, o and mask play too! London weaves these worlds so perfectly, go read this book!
Livy and Sebastian. After saving her ten years ago, he’s been searching for her ever since. And now he found her, at a beautiful college tucked away in Ireland. This boy is protective, obsessed, possessive, OTT unhinged crazy! This poor girl has been on the run her whole life after her parents were killed. Never truly had a home instead living in foster care and she never truly has been loved. She’s the shy, careful, good girl. There’s no crazy drama once these two come together, just a deep, all-consuming connection that’s been quietly building for years. And it becomes pure electric! Can I mention again they both are vir$ins?! And mask play, yes please!
I loved all the side characters and can’t wait for Kalen and Jeremy’s books! I love how London weaves all her book worlds together!
If you’re drawn to darker romances with an obsessive, possessive MMC who borders on unhinged, he’s fiercely protective, dangerously devoted, and willing to cross any line to claim what’s his, then this book will absolutely consume you. Can’t wait for book two!

Review of advance copy
4.25!
Back at it again with the crazy
And I couldn’t be happier. I really lived for the brotherhood dynamic in the first series and I was hoping we’d get it here too. It didn’t matter that Seb was new, his two crazy friends were waiting for him in Ireland ready to be stalkers.
Seb was truly the definition of a yearner, years and years he’d been after his girl, and the second he found her, he uprooted his life and never looked back. The devotion and commitment to Liv was his first thought. He truly was down bad and I loved every second of it.
Now Liv needed a second to trust, but I understood her completely. She had been through a lot and it didn’t seem like she’d find a safe spot. I loved that she could stand up for herself and that her soft side didn’t make her naive or stupid. Her trust and love for Seb was fast, but there was a connection there from before.
Now the plot was interesting, I was intrigued throughout trying to figure out who’s who and what happened, and the twist was really good. I would have loved a little less “stalking speeches” where Seb just gushes over how long and much he’s been looking at Liv and a little more thriller on the stalker, even a bad guy POV would have been great to up the stakes. But overall, this was an amazing book one to kick off the rugby unhinged crazy group we’re getting…also, pretty please, can Kalen and Juniper be next?
London, I’ve been here since day one and I don’t see that changing, thank you for sharing this copy early, to you and to Samantha from the Smuthood, my biggest thank you!

4,5. ✨ | Rucking Obsessed: A Dark-ish College Rugby Romance (Knights of St. Killian #1) by London Snow — ARC Review
I read this in less than 24 hours because it was completely addictive. If you love obsessive, unhinged MMCs who fall first and will literally do anything for the girl they want… this book delivers ALL of that.
The dynamic? Intense, consuming, and honestly a little insane in the best way.
At the beginning, it did feel slightly slow—mostly tension, stolen glances, and him watching her from afar without actually approaching her yet. But once things start unfolding, it pulls you in hard.
And that ending?? I’m not okay. It left me wanting so much more, especially for the next couples in this series.
I already need the rest of their stories (JEREMYYYY 🛐🛐🛐).
Available on Amazon Kindle Unlimited starting March 25, 2026.
Tropes:
• Dark-ish college romance (rugby, Ireland setting)
• Obsessed & unhinged MMC
• Stalker MMC (driven by obsession)
• Dual virgins
• He transfers to her university (in another country) just to be near her
• Yearning / “he needs her” MMC
• Touch her and you disappear energy
• He’s been searching for her for a decade
• He gets a tattoo for her
• Murder mystery subplot (FMC seeking answers about her family)
• Shared traumatic past
• Sweet, guarded, resilient FMC in hiding
• He watches her sleep (without her knowing)

Genre/Trope: College, Dark(ish) Romance
Book Type: Standalone
Book Length: Shorter Novel
POV: Alternating Dual
Setting: Ireland
Male MC: Sebastian “Bash” Vale is an American attending university in Ireland and plays on the rugby team. He has a twin brother, Tristan (from Pucking Unhinged). Bash is 20 and has black hair and green eyes.
Female MC: Livingston “Livy” Rhodes is an American with a tragic past that is trying to hide at the university from someone wanting to hurt her. Livy is 20 and has long blonde hair and sea-green eyes.
Endearment: Baby
Spice Level: Medium
Frequency of Spice: Low
Angst Level: Low
Cliffhanger: No
My Review: I’m a huge sucker for these kinds of stories where the MMC is so darned unhinged and obsessed with his girl he would cross any lines to have her. Bash is so devoted to Livy that he’s been searching for her for 10 years and has finally tracked her down and will not let her slip through his fingers again. I thought their romance was sweet and exciting but I also wished their story could have been a little longer and their past a bit more fleshed out. I felt it was just missing some key moments that would have really made it all tie in together. Overall it was a great story and I’m excited to read more about the new Rugby guys and their crazy antics to get their dream girls.

Darkish MF Rugby Romance
4.5⭐️ Great book. This was a quick read. Slow burn with a bit of angst, a bit of mystery, a plot twist and a bit of spice that was worth the wait.
We have an ob$essive, protective and perhaps a bit unhinged MMC and quiet FMC in hiding but still trying to find out who deleted her parents and who is still after her. He’s been searching for her for 10 yrs, since he saved her, and when he finally finds her, he keeps her safe from afar…… ok fine. He sta@lks her, and had cameras set up so he can watch her…She doesn’t know him but feels like she does and just knows she can trust him…
No cheating, no OWD, a bit of a misunderstanding but no third act breakup with a HEA
If enjoy morally grey, red flag book boyfriends who saved themselves for their ob$ession and will do anything to keep other men away from them, then this book’s for you.
* Protective St@lker
* Touch Her & ☠️
* Morally Grey MMC
* Dual Virg!ins
* FMC in Hiding
* 💦 In His Pants

* Notes & Recordings❤️
I’m excited for Jeremy and Kalen’s stories!!
“Ten years of searching for her, wanting her, imagining what it would feel like to hold her like this, and now she’s wrapped around me like she’s always belonged to me.”
“Follow one girl across the world and set a few cameras up in her bedroom,” I mutter, voice rough with sleep, “and suddenly you’re branded a st@lker.”
4.5⭐️ Great book. This was a quick read. Slow burn with a bit of angst, a bit of mystery, a plot twist and a bit of spice that was worth the wait.
We have an ob$essive, protective and perhaps a bit unhinged MMC and quiet FMC in hiding but still trying to find out who deleted her parents and who is still after her. He’s been searching for her for 10 yrs, since he saved her, and when he finally finds her, he keeps her safe from afar…… ok fine.

✨ ARC Review ✨
Thank you so much to The Smuthood and London Snow for the ARC of Rucking Obsessed! 🖤
I’ve been looking forward to Bash and Livy’s story ever since Tristan and Winter’s book, and it absolutely delivered 😩🔥 This is the first book in the Knights of St. Killian series, and it’s a dark-ish college romance with obsession, protection, and just the right amount of unhinged.
Livy witnessed her parents’ murder at ten years old. Sebastian was the one who saved her. After being taken into witness protection, she spends years on the run, constantly looking over her shoulder —while Bash spends everyday of the ten years searching for her.
When he finally gets a lead that she’s in Ireland… oh, he’s gone 🏃♂️
This one starts as a slower burn with him watching from afar, but once he decides she’s his? It escalates FAST—and that epilogue??? 🥵
I finished this in a day and seriously can’t wait for the next book—I don’t even know if I’m more excited for Kalen & Juniper or Jeremy & Soph 😂
As always, check your trigger warnings—but if you love a protective, obsessed MMC with intense “she’s mine” energy… this one is for you!
✨ Tropes / Vibes ✨
💚 Dark-ish college romance
🩷 Ireland setting
💚 Rugby MMC
🩷 OTT / possessive hero
💚 Stalking
🩷 Surveillance/cameras
💚 Violence + guns
🩷 Somno
💚 Mask / primal play

Sebastian vale has spent ten years looking for his songbird. Years spent searching everywhere writing notes, and worrying about her was all worth it when he finally found her.
Livy has spent her life looking over her shoulder and waiting for the next bad thing to happen. Until bash shows up at her college. Her shining knight and forever protector.
I absolutely devoured this book from start to finish. Bash Is possessive, protective, and dangerous until Livy says please. He would give the world to his girl. Livy is strong, determined, and somehow after everything that has happened to her- kind. I loved seeing mentions of Madi and Hayden and the interactions between bash and Tristan. From start to finish I couldnt put the book down.
Tropes include
Touch her and 💀
Protective / possessive mmc
Strong fmc
Dual virgins
He only listens to her
He only cares about her
Burn the world down for her
Worlds #1 stalker
Dark college rugby
I am a sucker for found family, and I absolutely loved the kings of castlebrook trio and I can say i absolutely love this group’s dynamic just as much!! I laughed so hard when bash said Hayden was Tristan’s Jeremy because it was so true. I’m so excited for kalens and Jeremy’s books in the future!!

If you have read Tristan and Winters book you would have gotten a glimpse of Sebastian’s story. For the last 10 years Sebastian has been searching for Livingston and now that he has finally found her, he will stop at nothing till she is his and only his.
If you’ve read the Kings Castlebrook series you will understand that this author writes her MMCs as possessive and obsessive and Sebastian is certainly no exception to this rule. Every single thing he does is for Livingston.
The reason that it took so long for him to find her once again was that she was put in witness protection and many foster homes after she witnesses the fall of her parents. When she receives her trust she up and leaves to a quiet and peaceful countryside of Ireland, or so she thought. Now a ghost from her past is back and Sebastian will stop at nothing to ensure Livy is protected.
I absolutely loved this book, sometimes all a girl wants to read is about a man who would burn the world and not leave a flame touch her and this is exactly what you get with this couple.

Thankful for the ARC, these thoughts are all my own!
If obsessive stalker MMC’s and insta love are your thing then this one’s for you!
I love a good morally grey MMC and company, even morally black; the story starts discussing the lengths of which Bash has gone to stalk Livingston, and about how he needs to take things slow.. He then barrels into her life and never stops. She doesn’t even really question it, which in theory seems great. I unfortunately feel like it was too insta love for me. He was an aggressive stalker and I think that as the one being stalked, she should’ve had more questions despite feeling ‘instantly safe’ with him. Bash is very intune with his emotions and isn’t afraid to show Livy, and Livy despite all she has been through in her life, accepts his affection and knows how to take care and stand up for herself which I liked!
I liked the side characters and the suspense within the story I think if aggressive, obsessed stalker rugby players are your thing, you’ll be in insta love too!

Rucking Obsessed: Knights Of ST. Killian by London Snow
What comes after the ott obsessed, because whatever it is would be the category Bash falls into for Livy and don’t even get started on the touch her and d¡€ because that extends past touch and goes right into anything negative about her. But I was here for all his unhinged ways. Livy was the quiet good girl. That these two were each others first for everything was so cute. There is the suspense and mystery of who is out to get her that was just a little anticlimactic but it does leave you guessing on who it is so it’s written well. The group of friends banter was great. Set in Ireland. The ending was just super adorable. I absolutely love a unhinged stalker cuddler who puts his girl above anything and everything. London knows how to write an mmc.

If this is your vibes then this is for you
Dark ✅ stalker ✅ obsessed ✅
possessive ✅ unhinged id say ✅
This gave a great amount of unhinged stalker moments and a lot of yearning pining wanting. Maybe a little too much in head dialogue from our mmc but overall it was a great story filled with a dark past that was hinged with secrets, survival, separation and a sense of coming home. The Fmc was great I felt her terror, concern and overwhelming trauma that she wants answers from and her dream to have everything from her past over to be able to just be a normal girl, with a life and a relationship. Throughly enjoyed this two mc and their banter. Seeing her coming into herself, was amazing.
I enjoyed the stalker moments felt they were written well, the mystery of the past could have been a bit more written about it, it was over quickly but I’m feeling that it’s setting up for more books with some extra unsolved not completed moments.
Overall I enjoyed it, would recommend and would like to go revisit the other stories written by the author now.

This book absolutely smitten me from the very first page! The character development is beautifully done, and the way the story gradually unfolds keeps you hooked throughout. Every layer of the plot adds to the excitement, making it such an immersive read.
The romance is deeply emotional and completely swoon-worthy—you can truly feel the connection between the characters. Their journey, along with the intensity of their emotions, makes it even more captivating. What I also loved was how vividly the setting is described; it adds so much depth and atmosphere to the story.
Overall, this book is swoon-worthy, a little unhinged, and incredibly engaging—a perfect mix of romance, emotion, and thrill. I’m already looking forward to all upcoming books! 💫
This book was provided to me as an ARC, and this is my honest review.
Tropes:
Darkish college Rugby
Protective Stalker MMC
Sweet, resilient but guarded FMC
Touch her and d!e (literally)
He falls first & harder
Primal & mask play
Surveillance
He worships her

Rucking Obsessed (Knights of St. Killian #1) Review
Rucking Obsessed kicks off the Knights of St. Killian series with a dark, addictive edge that had me hooked from the start. If you love a mix of tension, obsession, and a little chaos, this one delivers.
Sebastian Vale is down bad in the most intense way—after years of searching, he finally finds his “Songbird” in Ireland, and from that moment on, he is locked in. With Caiden’s help, Bash wastes no time embedding himself into her world—hello dark Irish college rugby vibes 👀—and keeping his eyes on her at all times. But the real question is… what happens when he’s not the only one watching?
This book leans into some seriously addictive tropes: twin flames energy, masked library moments (!!!), a slightly unhinged “I’ll track you for your safety” vibe, and that delicious found family dynamic. The banter? Top tier. The tension? Constant. And don’t even get me started on the adorable pup who basically runs the show.
And that plot twist?? Didn’t see it coming—no spoilers, but just know it hits.
Another standout from London that leaves you impatiently waiting for book two. If you’re into dark romance with obsessive heroes, emotional pull, and just the right amount of chaos… this is a must-read.

Bash and Livy 4 Ever!!
This book was so dang good. I was so excited to start London’s new St.Killian’s College series. These 2 characters are so freaking adorable. I also love all of the new characters (except for Miranda) and can’t wait for their books. This book had all the tension and suspense. I honestly could not figure out who the bad guy was. The reveal was jaw dropping.
Bash’s obsessiveness and stalking knows no bounds. I love it so much. And compared to his twin Tristan’s icy persona, he’s actually sensitive and not afraid to show his emotions. That was refreshing.
London never lets us down with the spice. And the HEA was everything I could’ve hoped for.
10/10 recommend reading this book.
