Everything for Her by Alexa Riley
3.0
This is the first book I’ve read by this author duo who probably need an introduction for context (or disclaimer depending on your POV). Per their website the authors:
“specialize in insta-love, over-the-top, sweet, and cheesy love stories that don’t take all year to read.
This book kind of fits this description to the T. This basically dealt with a billionaire stalker who is obsessed after meeting with our vanilla heroine (think 50 Shades of Grey but better written). This book is thankfully much more aware of the problematic elements of the trope and kind of leans into the craziness of the premise.
The hero is a crazy stalker and knows it; I started hating him because he was overboard and controlling. But our heroine pushed back and called him out on his behaviour which I liked.
Around 40% of the book, I think my brain gave up and just decided to go with the crazy. The authors provided enough explanation which made me understand the hero. Would this behavior be acceptable in real life - absolutely not - but the book is so OTT that it becomes this crazy fantasy. If our hero grew fangs and decided our heroine was his “true mate” the plot would have made as much sense.
Going with three stars for the sheer bonkers addictiveness of this. I am going to read by this author duo as this is perfect for a quick read which forces my brain to silence.
