Sick Love #1

Unhinged Desires

Rate this book
Dominic

I was awoken by an angel.
That’s the only explanation I have for the sudden onset of feelings that hit my heart like a lightning bolt, the moment my eyes connected with hers.

However, this particular angel doesn’t know she’s just evoked a demon.
The way my body reacts to her presence, the way my soul recognizes its counterpart, it’s a dangerous fatal attraction.
This unhinged desire I have for my angel isn’t going to end well. For either of us.


Lucy

When you wake up to the silhouette of a man standing in the shadows of your bedroom, you probably shouldn’t invite him into your bed.

I did though. And now I don’t know how to fall asleep without him.
We’re like two opposing forces being drawn together.
My positive to his negative.
No matter how much I try to pull away, he’s there.
Ready to drag me back into the darkness of his soul.

Oh my goodness This book!! I love it so much!!! Especially when the hero is a stalker and SOOOO VERY EXTREMELY PROTECTIVE AND OVER THE TOP POSSESSIVE ALPHA MALE TO THE HEROINE ONLY❤️❤️❤️❤️ And i love it when the story starts with just them, begins with them gonna be a couple. Not with other people at the moment, argh i hate those lol. Especially the beginning of the book is the hero’s POV and he started with saying “I was awoken by an angel” 🥺🥺😍 And yes that is for the heroine… From the beginning till the end of the book its very romantic and very intense 😏

From the previous books, i can see how the hero really EXTREMELY OBSESSED WITH THE HEROINE IN A WHOLE ANOTHER LEVEL… Not creepy tho in my opinion 😅 So don’t worry! Like it was so hot to see that😝 So i got so curious and waited for this book! And IT WAS WORTH IT!!

Yes author. You just made yourself my new favorite one!

This is a dark romance but the dark in my opinion is from the hero side… Their love story is just not normal… But normal is overrated😋

Side note: if you are triggered or sensitive about stalkers hero and very obsessed over the top possessive hero who will do anything to the heroine, like ANYTHING. then don’t read this book.


Okay moving on….

The story starts with the hero already is stalking the heroine in a whole another level… They’re in the same university and even in the same major and class. The hero even go to the same class often because of the heroine… He said that since two months ago he saw the heroine for the first time in class, he began to stalk her and wanting her and obsessed with her… But also at the same time he wants to kill her because she made him that way, that she made him obsessed with her… (Which in the end we get to read that the hero will never ever do that! It was his psychopath thoughts. Because he also was soo scared to see the heroine hurt). The hero even already got a tattoo of the heroine when he first saw her🥺 One day like two months later, the hero saw someone tries to sit and talked to the heroine. Some random guy. He immediately take a picture of the guy and scan to his computer about who he is. He got it and immediately after class the hero grabs the guy and punch him! The hero says to the guy to never ever sit next to the heroine and talks to her. And during this time, the hero never ever made his appearance known to the heroine… He never even text her… He likes to be hidden and be a secret to her. One day his lovely family and father came to see him and says to him that he should make a move… Then one night the heroine go out with her best friend and some guy tries to flirt with her, the hero of course saw it and for the first time texted her… Since that text and then phone call, the heroine remembered his voice. So when they meet and the heroine hear his voice, she immediately knows who he is….


“I see you though, and you are far from invinsible, Little Bee. And you shine so bright it burns through me.”

🥺❤️

“I’d rather spend my time looking at you than staring at the blackness behind my lids,”

🥵💕


‼️‼️‼️TRIGGERS: The hero was first a stalker to the heroine… Which I don’t mind if you are wondering😅 Alcohol, mafia, high on violence, family drama, mafia and accidents…

‼️‼️‼️SAFE ALL THE WAY! SAFE ROMANTIC HOT INTENSE LOVE STORY!

The heroine is the first woman the hero ever stalked and be obsessed like this. First!

“Maybe not yet, but you will be. What would the world think if they knew the precious Dominic McKinley is a crazed psychopath? A stalker who likes to record women without their consent in his spare time?”
“Woman, I’ve only ever been captivated by one woman. You.”

🥺

‼️‼️‼️LOVE IN FIRST SIGHT! Especially the hero like he went ALL SO OTT POSSESSIVE TO THE HEROINE… Just the way i like it😝 WHEN THEY TOUCHED THEIR HANDS FOR THE FIRST TIME, BOOM. Thousand bolts electricity zaps them😋 You don’t need to worry about someone else in this story… Especially the hero like oh my. He will literally kill anyone who tries to ruin or do something wrong to the heroine❤️

“She has no idea that she’s mine. Her fate was sealed the moment I saw her. I felt like i’d taken a bullet to the chest.”

🥺 Okay you win author. You literally made me awwee in the first scene of the book like come on! Wow🥺🥺❤️

‼️‼️‼️ITS A SLOW BURN.

You will see the slow burn is from the hero. The hero stalking the heroine, literally stalk her everything. So the slow burn is not too long… And also not boring. It was actually intense and hot and romantic in my opinion 😋😏🔥🔥

‼️‼️‼️OH MY…. THE HERO IS EXTREMELY OVER THE TOP POSSESSIVE PROTECTIVE MAFIA BILLIONAIRE ALPHA MALE… Its very rare for me to write a “extremely alpha male”. Because this hero is extreme indeed guys! Which i like tho😏 THE HEROINE IS THE FIRST OFFICIAL GIRLFRIEND AND FIRST WOMAN TO GO TO HIS HOUSE AND FIRST GIRL EVER THAT HE INTRODUCED TO HIS FAMILY…. AND FIRST GIRL THAT HE EVER LOVE SO MUCH LIKE THIS 🥺🥺🥺

The hero says one time that he fvcks a lot before the heroine but never ever mentioned or says from anyone and even to himself that he is a manwhor3. So I will take it that he is not a manwhor3 😁

Apparently the hero gene like how he is its coming from his family from his father side that they’re a little bit psycho, they like to kill animals for sport, they’re not normal and very different from others. over the top when it comes with love. his uncle from his father side and also his mother side is very much the same 😁

My favorite part is that the hero is very close to his family. Family from both side of his parents. They have such a close and great relationship🥺 The hero is close to his parents and especially he is very afraid of his mother. When his mother ordering him around, he always listened😆 So even tho he is this bad stalker guy, to his family and even parents, he let them lecture him and let them to his place anytime they want. Damn i really love that parts when his family always goes to see him 🥺 thanks author! This is the best parts!

‼️‼️‼️NO CHEATING

‼️‼️‼️NO SEPARATION

‼️‼️‼️DUAL POV

‼️‼️‼️NO VIRGINS.

But both have been celibate for months especially the heroine claims to be celibate for two months since the hero stalk her lol.

‼️‼️‼️LOCATION: Australia

‼️‼️‼️THE HEROINE: at first she didn’t like anyone from her class, the guys who flirt with her because she said that those guys only wants her for one thing. money and fame. the heroine is also rich and comes with old money thing but she never ever be arrogant about it. the heroine is very down to earth person and also have a great relationship with her own family. she likes to sleeps at her brother place, lets her brother have a sleep over to her apartment, she lets her parents take her to dinner and received gifts from them. its very refreshing to see this! the heroine is also sassy! she have many guys like to flirt with her and many guys likes her😋

‼️‼️‼️NO DRAMA WITH OTHER WOMAN EVER. Only with OM but it was not too annoying and not too much! Those man have to suffer after they slightly touch or talked to the heroine from the hero😆 And all the drama is about themselves and family drama… but the family drama is not too much either!

‼️‼️‼️NO EX FVCK BUDDY OR EX GIRLFRIEND BOYFRIEND EVER SHOWS UP FROM BOTH SIDE.

‼️‼️‼️IT HAS ONE TIME TALKING ABOUT THEIR PAST PARTNER BUT IT WAS ONLY ABOUT THE HERO SAYS HE FVCKS PLENTY AND THE HEROINE SAYS HIS D1CK IS BIGGER THAN COLLEGE GUYS. ONLY THAT! Just that and then No mentioning about past partners or even fvck buddy EVER. So for me that was not even a big deal lol. Not like other books these days that always have the characters likes to say that a lot about fvcks this and that, whor3 days in the past eew. So I’m so happy that this book from both characters NEVER ever say that or even mentioned it 🥺

‼️‼️‼️THE HERO WANTS THE HEROINE SOOOOOOOO VERY EXTREMELY BADLY AND SOOOOOO OBSESSED WITH HER ❤️❤️🔥🔥🔥⭐️⭐️

This hero right here! His obsession towards the heroine is like no other! It’s like watching Aiden and elsa from rina kents book but more extreme 😍 But the extreme for me is very romantic and hot😋 Not too wrong and not too fvcked up😝

The hero likes to send the heroine flowers after he texted her for the first time, he made a tattoo of her to his chest, he stalker things is very wow but romantic tho😁😋 He puts cameras to each part of her apartment, he checks on that camera every single day and every single minute and even have it on his office! He have pictures like MANY MANY pictures of the heroine he takes on his room, he put those pictures on his wall! He have a tracker on her phone, he have a tracker on her car, he always listened and hear anything that is happening to the heroine’s cell phone. Every convo she have with anyone, any social media and any messages she is doing the hero knows about it all. He checks on her every single day… He also since the first time he stalk her, he lets himself into the heroine’s apartment when the heroine is sleeping. And he could sit and watch the heroine sleeping for hours… Sometimes he jerk off and sometimes he just likes to watch the heroine sleeping… The hero’s passcode to every single thing he have like cell phone, house code and even bank codes, ALL UNDER THE HEROINE’S NAME AND THE HEROINE’S BIRTHDAY… When the heroine ask about internet banking passcode, he immediately answered and did not hesitate to tell her🥺 He likes to steal the heroine’s panties a lot, he likes to hurt and yes you will see her a couple of times that the hero will hurt anyone who touch or talk to the heroine in a flirting way! The hero even hurt the heroine’s trainer when the trainer looking at the heroine ass and touch her body many times, and he made his female cousin to be the heroine’s trainer. The hero likes to send gifts, he even buy a house a month later for the heroine, he even bought the heroine many outfits and designer bags and put it to his house for her! He likes to take care of the heroine so much, HE PUTS HER FIRST IN EVERY SINGLE THING. Even to his family and to himself! When he was bleeding and hurt, he called the doctor for the heroine and not for him🤣 The heroine only faint and the hero is bleeding to his head🤣 When the heroine ask are you alright to the hero because he was definitely physically hurt, the hero says that he didn’t give a damn about himself and worry about her instead lol. Every single time the heroine ask him to do something or anything, he ALWAYS SAYS YES. Yes to everything. Even when it comes with the heroine doesn’t want to see him, he said yes to that anyway. When the heroine broke to his house secretly to trash his house, the cops arrest her. The hero was so mad that the cops touch her and put her in the cell for few hours… He was mad about that only and not because the heroine broke to his house🤣 The hero likes to kiss the heroine’s forehead🥺❤️ When they meet, he likes to touch her in everywhere and when he can’t, he can’t breathe… When he wants to take her on a date for the first time to a restaurant, he went all over and even booked the whole place so that no one will see the heroine lol. When the heroine is doesn’t like someone who works with the hero, the hero immediately fires them🤣

This is my kind of hero 🥺❤️
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

“But there are only so many bodies I can make disappear for you, Dom. And they are beginning to pile up down here.”
“I haven’t done anything to anyone who hasn’t deserved it,”
“Okay, so tell me, what were their crimes, exactly?”
“They looked at her… They touched her… They thought about looking at or touching her…”
🤣

“The hours I wasn’t working out, I was feeding my fixation by watching her on camera or hacking into her phone and listening in on her conversations. There is nothing that girl does that I find boring. She could be sitting in the library studying for hours and I find myself enthralled by her. It’s a sick obsession. I’m aware of that much.”

“There are only two people in the world who would think of that name. You and me. If I thought for one second that you were about to bleed my accounts dry, I wouldn’t have just given you access to them.”


‼️‼️‼️MANY…. MANY MANY JEALOUS SCENE FROM THE HERO!!! AND ONLY ONE TIME FROM THE HEROINE 😋

Many jealous scene from the hero that i lost count 🤣

“Tell him to remove his hand before I come over there and remove it for him permanently.”

“his eyes go straight to her ass. Eyes that I’m going to gouge out of his fucking head before I toss them around like a fucking pinball machine at a gaming arcade. Do not touch her. I chant it in my head, over and over again, even as his hands reach out and land on her hips as she’s bending over to stretch. “Who the fuck is this fuckwit?” I question my uncle as I push to my feet and throw an arm towards the monitor.”

“She’s ignored all of my messages. I already have a list of fifty guys who commented on her posts. Guys she encouraged to contact her directly. I’ve conjured up the million and one ways I can end them all. I’ll make it theatrical, force her to fucking watch. Maybe then she’ll think twice before flirting with anyone who isn’t me.”

“LUCY, I swear to God I will end them. All of them. Is that what you want? You want this city painted red? Turned into one giant crime scene? Because I will fucking do it.”

“I look at her. I know she’s messing with me. But the image of anyone else touching her has me seeing red anyway.”

“The thought of anyone touching you does things to my head, Little Bee. And you really don’t want to watch the fallout.”


‼️‼️‼️VERY EXTREMELY HOT SMUT SCENES 🔥❤️

“I want to have a lifetime of fucking you, Little Bee,”

He is obsessed with the heroine’s body so much and always like to please her first!

🥺

‼️‼️‼️IT HAS THE HEROINE PUSHING AWAY THE HERO COUPLE OF TIMES BUT NEVER TOO MUCH AND NOT TOO ANNOYING…. The hero never ever push the heroine away…

‼️‼️‼️The hero always says to the heroine: You are mine. Mine mine. Mine. All the freakin time!

‼️‼️‼️Overall the story is kinda dark but not too dark tho. What the hero did was kind of extreme and over the top but i like that anyway🤣 I read many darks romance so i would say this one is not that dark though…. THE CHEMISTRY between them is oh my goodness ��👍🏼 VERY FREAKIN ROMANTIC 🥵

‼️‼️‼️The hero and heroine’s age is bellow 21 years old.

‼️‼️‼️IT ENDS WITH A CLIFFHANGER. But not a massive one… The next book will be next month and of course i will run to get it 🥺🥺😍😍😍

3.5 ⭐

Book info:
- No cheating / opd / 3rd act conflict
- Violence / gruesome death
- Stalking
- Ends in cliffhanger
- Safe sex
- Non-virgin MCs (I think they're both players but H is more experienced)
- "Touch her and you die" vibes (literally)
- Psychopath H


Note:
- No background was given about their sex lives, but in the story Dom has been stalking her for two months and he always get rid of the guys who shows interest in Lucy. What's the cockblock term for women?? Because that's what Dom is actively doing. 😂


MCs:
- Dom (20)
- Lucy (20)
- Both in college and billionaires


Dom saw Lucy one day and was intrigued by her. He's into inflicting pain and at first he wanted to hurt Lucy because she made him feel things he never felt before. But the more time he stalked her, the more he got obsessed with her. So obsessed that he put cameras in her apartment, put a tracker in her devices, sneaking into her room every night just to watch her sleep, leaving her a blue tulip everywhere she goes so she knows he's always there, and killing every man who looks into her direction. He's a tamer version of Zade Meadows, actually. 😂

As for Lucy, she was afraid and paranoid because she could feel someone watching her. She even enrolled herself in a self defense class, cuz she's so scared she wanted to protect herself against her stalker. Yet, she exchanged texts and calls to this stalker (she didn't know it was Dom at first) and twice they did have sexy times over the phone.

Then they met officially in an event and she immediately recognized his voice. Since the secret is out, Dom started to get in her personal space every chance he gets. He's unhinged, even his family were always telling him to tone it down. I think Dom is a psychopath and he's really crazy for doing the things he did in this book. But he got it so bad for Lucy, and he couldn't control his urges when it comes to her "little bee", it was really freaking creepy but sweet at the same time.

Lucy was scared of his tendencies at times, but she was so attracted to Dom and with all the skillful things he does to her. They've become a couple eventually and nothing would stop them from getting together.

Overall, the story got me hooked, and I really enjoyed it. I will quickly start the second book, since I'm not a fan of cliffhangers. I need to know what would happen to them, and how everything will unfold.


Ending: They were on their way to the date planned by Dom but the plane had technical problems resulting in its crashing. At the start of the second book, Lucy finally woke up after 2 weeks in coma and she doesn't remember the last two months.

4.5 🌟
A good read after a longgg timeee finalllyy!! I was this close 👌🏼 to give it a 5 star but nvm.

Dominic is truly THE STALKER, POSSESSIVE MMC. Absolutely enjoyed both the mcs.

Tho there are a lotttt of characters (I believe they have their own books but I haven’t read them) but anyways it wasn’t confusing, instead they were kinda hilarious and fun to read (it’s mainly Dom’s overly large family) 😂😭

The ending was very unexpected, I’m not sure how I like it. Nonetheless, I might review it properly after I complete the duet bec lately, I’ve been loving the first book and seem to hate the second book 😭. I hope it’s not the case with this one, let’s see. 🤞🏼

THIS FUCKING BOOK!!!
5 Goddamn Stars!! Jesus Christ it’s everything!!

“I need more fucking pigs.”

Dominic McKinley is obsessed. He’s completely, deliciously obsessed with Lucy Christianson. This is red flag fucking central because Dom is a bit of a psychopath. He stalks Lucy, puts cameras in her house, tracks her phone AND her car. He stops other men from talking to her, dating her, touching her… permanently. But!!! He’s afraid to get too close to her himself because of his psychopathic tendencies. At first he’s excited at the thought of her pain, the thought of her dead makes him hard. He would love nothing more than to wrap his hands around her neck and see the light slowly leave her eyes. Partly because Dom is addicted to pain, but partly for her making him lose his fucking mind.

“The only place left for me is hell, because I’m about to fucking destroy heaven.”

As Dom gets closer to Lucy, and finally talks to her, touches her, kisses her, he slowly starts to change his tune… just a little, because, hey, he’s a goddamn lunatic. Dom realizes that if he kills Lucy, sure, other guys won’t be able to have her, but then he’ll never be able to touch her either. So he restrains himself. He goes against his instincts and he gets closer to her, hearing her voice, hearing her thoughts, kissing her, owning her body… and boy, can Dom throw DOWN in the bedroom!!!

“I think you’re either my saving grace or my greatest demise. I’m not sure which yet.”

Lucy Christianson is so much more than just a pretty face. Shes a fucking puzzle that I’m so intrigued to figure the hell out. She’s rich, but not flashy. She’s to inherit an empire, but wants to go her own way with interior design, she could be popular, with a last name that everyone knows, but she downplays her social appearance. Lucy knows that there’s something terribly wrong with Dom. She should be angry at his stalking ways, terrified with his desire to kill her, disgusted with his obsession. But her body craves him. Her mind is stimulated by him. Her world is violently vibrant with him. Her heart…

“No, he’d never hurt me. He just wants to consume me.”

I love these two characters. I’M obsessed with Dom’s love style!!! This is what I look for in my Hero, and I’m so happy to have found it. And Lucy!! Lucy is exactly what Dom needs. She’s a perfect match for him and I think book two is really going to hit home with how perfect she is. I can’t wait to see how she pulls Dom’s love from him, his tender side, because it’s there!!

“You know, I thought I would be the one to kill you, but just maybe, Little Bee, you’re going to kill me first.”

Bitch, take my fucking money, I’m buying this for my at home collection!!!

this was…bad.

there was virtually no plot. it felt like the author read a bunch of stalker romance books and just took events from them to shove them into this story. there was zero originality in plot and characters and literally nothing to keep me invested. genuinely, NOTHING happened in this book. how did they even become a “couple”?? it just appeared out of no where. these characters were so bland and nothing they said or did ever made sense.

also having false rape allegations as a flimsy 3 chapter story line that served pretty much no purpose (just like everything else that happened in this book) is incredibly gross.

in conclusion: we need to ban dark romances with rich guys because 90% of the time it ruins any chance of a decent plot. where are my middle class stalkers??

In my opinion she was a little boring sadly. She got no real personality and just accepts the fact that Dom is stalking her. Lucy invites him into her bed and not once question his obsession.

❥ 𝑫𝒐𝒎𝒊𝒏𝒊𝒄
He was hot a fuck and I liked him. The way he cares for Lucy and protect her at all costs is chefs kiss.

✥ 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒃𝒐𝒐𝒌
I enjoyed reading.
The plot was interesting but nothing new. It‘s a book full of cliché and very similar to other books from this author.
Still I liked the stalker romance and Dom as a character was built well. I had my problems with Lucy but overall I liked these two together. They had great tension and their interactions were hot. Dom is a man who knows exactly what he wants and he protects his „property (aka Lucy)“ with everything needed.
This book takes place parallel to Following his Rules and it was nice to read some scenes from Lucy’s or Doms perspective because we got some easter eggs in the other book.
What should I say? Four stars. Because I‘m a sucker for stalker romance and I loved Dom.

"Unhinged" is putting it kindly when it comes to Dominic. But his brand of crazy is one I find so interesting and I really enjoyed just how possessive he was in this book. That ending though! I ran to the next installment as fast as I could.

Dominic is obsessed with Lucy. Psycho Dom is in love with his little bee Lucy, who finds herself loving his darker tendencies. Love these two n their craziness. Both come from very rich families and are trust fund babies. He is stalking Lucy and will literally kill anyone who touches her. This book has an unhinged obsessive mmc and a stubborn sassy fmc. When they give into their desires there's a lot of heat.

Unhinged Desires feels like the foundations of an epic love story filled with control and consuming need. This isn't very dark romance though but it was amazing, it ends on cliffhanger though. And thank god the heroine is not a virgin.

‼️No cheating, no OW drama, no virgins‼️

Everything happened so fast; one minute she was hating him for stalking her and then the next they were fucking each other's brains out. But I inhaled this book, anyway. I'll be grabbing the 2nd book once it comes out.

You are going to love and curse Kylie Kent for this book. Dominic McKinley is one hell of a leading man and if you’ve read the McKinley Ranch Duet with his Uncle Josh, I’m here to tell you that Dominic steals his crown.

This book is everything I wanted it to be and more. Dominic is more creepy stalker than romantic man, but his absolute adoration and obsession over Lucy is intoxicating.

Lucy doesn’t let Dominic walk all over her though. Don’t get me wrong he gets his way but Lucy makes him work for it. She’s smart, feisty and holds her own in most situations.

The two together set this book on fire and I am dying for the next book in the duet. I’m going to tell you now that cliffhanger will kill you but it’s worth it and the pain I am suffering through now waiting for book two.

This book was a one sitting read for me but at about 80% I forced myself to put it down because I knew the ending and the cliffhanger were coming and I wasn’t ready for it to end. But I couldn’t hold out for long, I needed more of Dominic and Lucy.

The parents may have been first in Kylie’s world but their kids are taking their titles from them and I can’t wait to reread from the very beginning.
.
.
.
Dominic has become obsessed. Lucy Christianson is all he sees, all he thinks about, all he wants. He also knows that he’s far too damaged to be able to have her. That doesn’t mean he’ll let her go or that anyone else can have her either. In fact any person who thinks the can have her will suffer his wrath.
‘I can’t stop myself from watching her, trying to figure out what fucking magical curse she sprinkled on me with that damn smile of hers.’

Lucy can’t get past the feeling that she’s being watched. She has no proof and nothing to suggest what she feels is right but even in her home she feels eyes on her. The unsettling feeling won’t go away. She can’t seem to bring herself to admit to anyone her feelings though.

Dominic’s ability to keep his hands off is getting harder to fight. When Lucy wants more from a man Dominic makes contact and Lucy is both furious and more scared than before, while Dominic possessiveness only increases.
‘She has no idea that she’s mine. Her fate was sealed the moment I saw her. I felt like I’d taken a bullet to the chest.’

As his family learn about his fascination with Lucy even they try to help him battle past the point of keeping his distance. Lucy is his and it’s time she found out just what that means.

Lucy is conflicted about everything that concerns Dominic. His obvious obsession and stalker tendencies should have her running and calling for help. He makes her feel things she’s never thought she could and as much as she should push him away she wants to keep him close.
“I feel alive,” I tell him. “I feel like someone sees me, the real me, not the version the rest of the world wants me to be.” “I do see you, Little Bee, and you’re fucking breathtaking.”

While Dominic works to control his urges to lock Lucy away and keep her for himself. Lucy tries to prepare herself for what will happen when Dominic breaks her.
‘Opening myself up to the possibility of Dominic McKinley being the final chapter in my story will only lead to heartache—the type I’ll never recover from.’

This book was a big fat NO for me. It was unhinged, but not in a good way at all.

I've different issues with this book. One being, there's literally nothing happening at all. During the first 40ish percent of the book the characters don't even know each other and don't meet, like...how can this even be a romance!? The plot feels like nothing. I was bored during the most part of the book and started skimming after 42 percent.

The stalking 'plot' didn't make sense at all. It felt like this book was build out of nothing just to people please. Just throw the word 'stalking' in and the author thought it would be done.

My third point is, the characters made no sense at all. I didn't have a connection with them and it didn't feel like I knew them at all. We barely got introduced to them and didn't get to know them. For example, I've no clue what their hobbies are, etc. I just couldn't connect with them and for me that's the most important thing while reading a book. I want to understand them and feel what they feel...and during this book I just couldn't.

Fourth, the pacing of the book wasn't it. One moment it was super slow, like boring slow, and the next the characters were together and having sex!? It just didn't make sense...

So yeah, my conclusion is...not a book for me and no, I didn't like it. I should've dnf'd and I definitely won't be continuing this duet. I couldn't care less.

5/5 ⭐️

2/5 🌶

I have been waiting for Dominic and Lucy’s book. I’m so glad that its here and I have the privilege to ARC read for it. This book is utter stalker perfection. Dom is so obsessed with Lucy and stalks her with shear perfection. Dom has to battle with himself in various ways in order to have and keep Lucy, and that includes of disposing of anyone that looks, touches or speaks to her. Unhinged Desires is the perfect title for this book because Dom is unhinged in the best ways possible. Lucy and Dom’s story is so amazing. I love seeing how far Dom would go for Lucy and loved seeing how far Lucy would go with Dom. This book is filled with all the good feels and a bit of emotions too. You get to see not only the good things that have and are happening but you also get to the struggles that happen as well. Dom and Lucy’s relationship is perfect for those two, but Lucy doesn’t make it easy. She makes Dom work for the title of boyfriend and I absolutely love it. This is book 1 in the Duet and even going into this book knowing that I did not expect that cliff hanger to be so huge… Kylie what are you doing to me ma’am. I can not wait for the 2nd book in this duet to come out cause I need to know what is going on. Yes I cried at the end of this book.

The book wasn’t bad but it wasn’t amazing…

The heroine in the first half is shown to be terrified of who could be stalking her and goes through some measures to feel safe. However, when she discovers who her stalker is you would expect her to hold a grudge and be scared of what he is capable of. It pulls me out of the story when she immediately seems to accept his advances onto her.

As for the plot, there wasn’t any there other than him tracking her going from shopping sprees, hanging out with her bsf, and going to school. It got really boring and repetitive. I needed some conflict.

I’ve just finished Unhinged Desires by @kylie Kent Author and I loved it! This book is a dark stalker romance written in dual POV and follows the characters of Dominic (a morally grey, unhinged and obsessed MMC) and Lucy.

This is my first dark stalker romance and I really enjoyed it but be sure to check TWs before going into this one!

How stunning is this cover though?!

This is the first book in the Sick Love Duet by Kylie Kent and I already can’t wait to read rhe second book Certifiable Attraction as this one ends on a cliffhanger 🙈

dom and Lulu

Finally! After seeing bits and pieces of their story in other books I love how we finally get to see the full story.

Lulu definitely seems a bit broken but not sure as to why. While Dominic seems to be the one putting her back together she has a hard time accepting this reality.

This book end I a cliffhanger but lucky book 2 is just one click away now :)

Damn Dominic literally keeping guys from Lucy for two months. I love the blue tulips and how he told her he got them because they "represent things that are one of a kind." Like she is. Wow the way she found out who he is was perfect. Oh my gosh Little Bee is such a cute nickname even with what the meaning is to him. They are so hot together. Holy shit that cliffhanger!!!

I ate this book UP! The spice, the dark romance, oooh I was here for all of it!! This was such a quick, easy read, and I loved every second of it. Lucy and Dominic’s relationship moved fast, but I really enjoyed reading about them. The intensity, chemistry, and drama had me hooked, and I can’t wait to dive into book 2 to see where their story goes next!

This was a fun read although I do find myself questioning wtf that ending was. Also, this did not read like all the characters were Australian - so strange.
