This one was not for me. I wasn't a fan of the heroine, she was always fighting, I didnt feel her soften over time like I would have expected, she only seemed to cave at the 90% mark after H saved her from the ex, which also felt way out of left feild.
Still give 3 stars, it was well written.

This is between 2,5 - 3 stars read for me. Sebastian Lindstorm is a psychopath that can't feel any emotions. However when he first laid eyes on Camille, one of his employee's girlfriend, he feels 'feelings' for the first time and that makes him turn obsessive. He then stalks her and then kidnaps her. Like other typical dark and kidnap romance, they fight for a while and then fall in love. As I listen to it on audiobook, it was very enjoyable as the narrators are very good. What I don't like about the story is how they make Link the villain. I would have liked it more if the author didn't change Link into the other villain that was waiting with a mask on, and make Sebastian seem like a good guy compared to him. All in all, another fun read to pass the time.

Let's be clear first, this is not a dark romance.

Second, if

Spoiler

the hero is psychotic, I expect some actions that will prove it. He is like a gentle bear here.

But overall, I enjoyed reading it.

”Tell me I can taste you again.” He dropped kisses along my jawline.
“Not part of the deal.”
“Fuck the deal,” he growled and claimed my mouth again. We kissed until his mouth became my only reference, the only thing I wanted.”

i’m afraid i have a newfound obsession with stalker romance.
