Lincoln. Obsessed and possessed. 

With an all consuming love between Lincoln and Monroe. 

If it were any other book and MMC, I would not have liked this as much as I did. Lincoln being so obsessed from the get go was just insane but I couldn’t stop reading. 

Monroe has had a rough life so far but she is also really driven and dedicated to herself. Always wanting to do better for herself. I love that.

This was just bad. It felt like the author tried to mix Haunting Adeline and hockey romance and just came out jumbled. The synopsis had me SO excited and then it just fell flat. Half of the text messages were in bubbles the other half were italicized. He came off as a psychopath whereas she came off as a stupid Bambi. I'm going to jolt at the smallest movement and run away but pressure me into going out with you and then tattooing my name on your dick and I'm in love. It just got too ridiculous.

TROPES:
- Ice hockey
- Obsessed hero with psychotic tendencies
- If I can't have you, nobody can
- Wrong number/mistaken identity
- Virgin heroine
- OTT & protective hero

I saw this allover BookTok and I always get nervous about reading its recs because I worry that they won't live up to the hype. Rest assured, this definitely did!

I can sometimes struggle to get through ice hockey romances because they can be really long or slow paced, but this was literally everything I needed and more. I did it in one sitting, and now I'm annoyed that book 2 isn't available yet. Roll on book 2!

I heard some good things about this book so I decided to check it out on KU and read it in one sitting. I wasn’t the biggest fan of the dialogue and found it to be pretty cringey most of the time (both their texts and speaking aloud) and although I’ve read dark romances with similar taboo aspects like stalking, this book fell pretty flat for me plot wise which was really disappointing bc I was looking forward to reading it. I hated the insta-love since I hoped it would be more of a slow burn given the whole stalker part of the plot but within the first few minutes of them meeting in person (after texting each other and calling occasionally for about two weeks) she’s out here riding his thigh in public and it’s like ??? She didn’t seem like the type of person to do that from the beginning so it felt out of character for the fmc. I would recommend this book for someone looking for a quick romance that isn’t worried about the pace or ok writing and plot, but would personally not be rereading.
