Where Violets Bloom is not like any other stalker romances I've read. It may have started out as a stalker story, it turned into a possessive/obsessed story. It was not as dark as I was expecting going into it, but I still really enjoyed it and only put the book down to eat or use the restroom. There were several parts that kinda made my eye twitch but the one that made me want to smack Violet was the whole situation with the notebook. I'm not going to give spoilers, but like girl come on! It was the first story I have read by the author and her writing style seems interesting so I will read more of her in the future!

A bit disturbing, but it’s a stalker romance so this is neither unexpected or bad—it just isn’t my preferred cup of tea.

*fans self *
Van is perfect. The second half did drag on for a little bit but I still very much enjoyed it. I loved both the MCs.

Solid stalker story. Van wasn’t as crazy as they come he was fairly logical albeit with some anger issues especially given his career

My first stalker book.

I didn’t love reading about a cop who used his position to cover up things he did wrong, but other than that it was really good.

*I received an advance copy in exchange for my honest review*

I love a good stalker romance and this treat has all those delicious bits with a heavy helping of praise kink thrown in! Ryan West is perfectly cast as Donovan 'Van' Drake and Daisy coming in with her first narration as Violet Carlisle. There is room for growth in her delivery, but as a first book I think she did great! This feels like a slow burn, but once the flame is stuck things go off with a bang!

Daisy does a great job at world building to prepare for the other two books in this series - which I can't wait until they come out in audio! The Men of Paradise are loyal, emotional and not afraid to get dirty!
