Publisher's summary

The second our eyes connected, I felt the shift in the air. The crackle of fire igniting between us. He was dark, dangerous, and secretive. He came into my life like a storm, ripping apart everything I believed in, everything I thought I knew. With his mischievous smirk, stunning looks, and alluring behavior, I should’ve ran as far away from him as I could. But I was stupid. I trapped myself in his web. I thought I was safe with him. Safe in his arms, safe from a past that refused to let go. Turns out Christian Russo was the past I was running from, and my first mistake was ever thinking I could escape him.

This is a dark stalker-mafia romance. It contains adult themes, and material that might be triggering to some listeners.

Dark isn’t rape

Should have more clear warning. Dark romance isn’t the same as rape. Prefer when characters have something redeeming.

Hot & Bothered…

You almost want the stalker to be two different people - the dark stalker & the caring boyfriend… then, you realize they’re the same person… which is SO bothersome. Questioning if the stalker has multiple personality disorder.

Also… can’t stand cheaters and kind of want to beat Kyla up. 😆

A little too much at times

I kept listening for the story but the main male character was a bit too abusive/ graphic for me at times.

ML is 🔥 FL is 🙄🙄🙄

Christian makes my toes curl as much as Shawn makes my eyes roll. Spicy scenes are well written. Loved the ending. On to part 2!

Good overall story.

This was a good story. It hooks the reader and leaves you wanting more.

However, I was so annoyed with how naive and stupid one of the main characters were.
There is also a SA scene that was uncomfortable to listen too. But the fact that she secretly liked it, makes it easier to deal with.

The ending was a cliffhanger. Which just made me want to start the next book asap.

Over all I like the story. Listening to book2 now.

I couldn’t stop!

I started this book two days ago and have been binge listening to it since. It’s addictive and steamy!
