Grieved Loss by Adelaide Forrest

4.0

I love when a stalker romance is done right and this mafia book fits the bill. Ryker happens upon Calla during an assigned and is instantly attached. She’s married with children so he keeps an eye on her until one day her husband dies and he no longer watches from the shadows. Ryker is intense in the best way. Calla and her kids are essentially just along for the ride because he’s had years to prepare for them and he’s not letting them go. He’s fiercely protective and a good antihero. Calla has a hard time adjusting, which I don’t blame her. Her life was normal, until it wasn’t. But when Ryker loves, he loves hard and Calla deserves that kind of intense love.
