“I admire your spirit, but you want this as much as I do. Your body knows it, even if your mind refuses to accept it.”

Summary:
Callista Green, our fmc, first meets Hayden Bennett as he is attempting to get her father thrown in jail for a crime, she believes he did not commit. Her father wins his case but is murdered shortly after. Now Bennett has returned to her life with one thing on his mind, to own every part of “Callie”. She is his obsession, and she is too scared to admit that he might also be hers.

My thoughts:

This story was good. It was well written, most of the characters were intriguing and felt real, the plot was mysterious enough to keep me wanting to read more and make it hard to put down my kindle because I needed more. I just have a few gripes with the book and that’s why I rated it 4 stars. For starters, Callie is dumb, not going to sugarcoat it. Everything pointed to Bennett being her stalker and she just was not getting it, so she annoyed me. And some characters felt pointless, like Callie has this ex-fiancé, he shows up once for 0 reason, and then that’s it. Why even have him show up at her coffee shop, it made no sense to me. But overall, the book was enjoyable, and I will be reading the next book!

“You belong to me, Callie. You have since the first time I saw you. I knew it then, and I’m telling you now, you’re mine.”

What I liked about the book:

▶️The mystery surrounding what happened to Callie.

▶️Her best friend, Harper.

▶️Bennet 🫠

▶️The stalker romance bit.

What I didn’t like:

⏹️Callie’s idiocy.

⏹️Some characters having no depth and no reasoning for making appearances in the book.

“If I give myself to you, you’ll break me into pieces so small I won’t be able to put myself back together or make myself whole.” “I’ll fuse your broken pieces with mine. Together, we’ll be whole, Callie.”

Read this book if:

- You love dark stalker romances.

- You love broody morally grey men.

- You have a praise kink.

- “eyes on me”.

- Elevators and alleys turn you on.

Happy reading besties😊
