I swear to god I started reading this as a joke. I was convinced it was going to be booktok trash like Haunting Adeline or Colleen Hoover and I could laugh with my friends about how bad it is.
But then I actually liked it.
Is it ridiculous? As ridiculous as any other stalker romance. You have 2 characters engineered to be in a masked stalker romance that tries to keep the power imbalance to a minimum. You have a hot stalker who is an expert hacker and his prey who does her best to double as a strong feminist icon as a nurse with expert self defense training. It’s fun. It’s sexy. Their bickering is hilarious in a meme sort of way. And maybe some of you will learn new kinks along with the characters.
The book doesnt take itself seriously and I love that for us.
So if you want a deep, heavy intellectual romance, you can skip this one.
But if you want to read a deeply unserious romance about a stalker with daddy issues and an over the top badass nurse who is way too burned out to enjoy vanilla sex, enjoy.
