A Dark Stalker Romance (The Dark Lies Duet, Book 2)

By: J. L. Beck, S. Rena

Narrated by: Anastasia Watley, Curt Bonnem

I thought I knew the truth.

I thought he was my savior.

I’d spent my entire life running from him, only to become trapped in his web.

He says I’ll become his wife, that I’ll provide him an heir.

I’ll do both of those things, under one condition.

His father must die.

Perfect

It was my dream mafia romance. Plus it was an amazing plot and extremely entertaining.

Almost as good as the 1st book

Triggers: non-consent and humiliation.
trigger disclosure: 0/5 you did not disclose any in your description. Always a massive disappointment, especially when you have non-con scenes.
🌶: 3.5/5
If you read book 1 and thought it was too dark, you should be happy with the ending of this book. FMC got some back bone! She isnt a badass but she raises hell in her own way. The ending was disappointing to me, too many long, sappy monologues and too much personality shift in MMC. I'm glad he was nicer, but he seemed like a completely different person. It just took a very "disney perfect" HEA direction that clashed with the vibes of book 1 and the first half of book 2.

The narration also got annoying and I dont know what happened after book 1. The male narator doing a femal voice got comical in this book.

Beautiful monster

Great book loved the narrators and the story keep up the great work can’t wait for another one!

If you like descriptive sex scenes it’s for you 😳

Overall I like the premise of the story but I had to fast forward through the sex scenes. Trigger warning, there is forced sex scenes.

Eh

So nothing triggers me anymore.
This book was very Mid.
If you’re offended by rape, imprisonment, Stockholm syndrome.
This isn’t the book for you.
Also the ending was a let down.

If you don’t mine anything above you’ll enjoy it, if you enjoy happy endings.
Very beauty and the beast vibes.
