Stalked by the Marine

Rate this book
With my life in shambles at the hands of a man I once trusted, I’m left to pick up the pieces and find something to do with myself. I’m not sure what a guy like me is supposed to do with a record like mine hanging over his head … I can’t prove my innocence to people who won’t believe me anyway. It’s like my life has no purpose now, that is, until I meet my little dove at the airport. “Meet” is a strong word, but ever since she walked into my life, I can’t get her out of my head. This girl has become my new reason for living, outside of proving my innocence, and nothing will keep me from making her mine. Trying to make my own way in the world is hard, especially when you don’t have any help. I could have gone to college, but instead, I dream of owning the diner I work at. I’ve been working tirelessly to save up the money to buy the business before the owners retire. My stepdad has offered to buy it for me, but the thought makes me uncomfortable. So does he, honestly. Because I’m saving up, I never get to go out. The only thing I ever get to look forward to seeing, the new regular we have at the diner. He’s tall and handsome, with this dark, mysterious demeanor I find magnetic. My waitress friends are finally making me serve his table, but I’m incredibly nervous. Would someone like him ever be interested in me?

Erin and Caleb meet one day at the airport. Caleb is awestruck and ends up following her home. He basically turns into her stalker, showing up at her workplace very frequently and watching her outside of her apartment. A month later, Caleb manages to ask her to show him around and she agrees. Things get hot and heavy really quickly.

But Caleb has a revenge plan in place. He has a target. What happens when he finds out that target is Erin's stepdad? Will he go through with it or not? He's out for revenge!

I enjoyed this one! Four stars <3

LOVED this one! I adore stalker romances and this delivered! It has everything I love—an obsessed, burly, alpha hero who wasn’t a manwhore, totally devoted to the sweet, innocent heroine. It’s short n sweet, totally safe and the writing flowed smoothly. This was a perfect romance snack!

Safe. Hero’s past isn’t mentioned, doesn’t come off as manwhore. Heroine is a virgin and belongs only to her hero. No ow/om, no cheating or sharing or abuse. Unwanted attention from heroines step dad but no abuse. HEA with epilogue years out

They meet when he’s leaving the airport and they bump into each other, from that moment on he knew she would be his but he didn’t know that the reason why he was there was part of her life.
He was a marine until he was thrown into the brig for a year on a drug charge that he was framed for. He found out who the people were who were involved with the drug charge and now he was going after the main person that did it.
She’s a waitress whose stepfather was the reason why the man was thrown into the brig. She wants to own her own diner but won’t take money from her stepfather who makes her uncomfortable.
After their brief encounter at the airport he follows her to make sure she’s safe. He has been going to the diner she works at for a long time just to see her everyday, they make eye contact every time he comes in. Her friend that she works with forces her to go take his order and afterwards they talk and she takes him to the address area that he asked about. He knew where the address was but he was trying to get her to talk to him. He ate as he waited for her to get off work before she showed him how to get to the address.
Arriving at the address he finds out that the guy he’s going after is her stepfather. She takes him around the yard then they look in a small shed as they talk before they kiss and he puts her on a workbench taking off her dress. He finds out that she’s a virgin but he still gives her oral sex but before they can do anything else they hear a vehicle pull up in a driveway. They talk as they get her clothes back on while doing that they hear her stepfather talking while they finish. He gives her the keys to his truck as they talk, they exchange phone numbers before she leaves him. Her stepfather stops her and they talk, she keeps stepping away from him. The man wants to go to her and shield her from her stepfather but he holds back because he knows she can take care of herself. Before the stepfather can do anything she goes to the truck and leaves.
She goes to her apartment thinking about things that the man said as she takes off her shoes, her cat comes up to her wanting attention. After a while she hears a knock on the door, it’s the man he keeps knocking and calls for her. She opens the door and everything that she was thinking leaves her mind. He’s not there very long before they kiss and hold each other then he carries her to her bedroom, they talk some as they take her clothes off he gives her oral sex before they have sex. They can’t sleep so they start talking, he winds up telling her his story, she doesn’t think badly of him after he tells it, they talk a bit more before they go to sleep next to one another.
When she gets up he’s already gone but he leaves her a note. She goes to work and she and her friend start talking. She's been waiting for him all day and she gets worried that he decided that he didn’t want her anymore and she also starts to think about everything he said to her, is he a stalker. Her friend is about ready to go off duty when he comes in, the friend clocks out and leaves.
The only people in the diner are them and a cook, they start talking and she asks him the question she has been wanting to ask since the other day and he tells her the truth about everything. They hold hands when the door opens and her stepfather comes in, her stepfather makes a comment and they start talking. The man gets upset and the stepfather figures out who it is. The two men talk and the stepfather thinks he has the upper hand but the man informs him of the intel he has given to the FBI, CIA as well as other agencies, the stepfather gets upset and leaves once the man gets a text about the intel being okay. After the stepfather leaves the cook goes to the kitchen door the cook and the waitress talk before the cook leaves.
Five years later he had his own landscaping business paid for by the lawsuit he brought up against the men who falsely accused him of the drugs. She owns the diner. They’re married with two boys and are very happy, they still have a spark between them. They each love the other as much if not more than they did at the very beginning.
A magnificently written story with splendid characters it’s easy to read as well a perfectly steamy romantic happily ever after which is a wonderful page turner.

Stalked by the Marine de Cassi Hart serie Dearly Devoted Series libro 3

Argumento:

Con mi vida en ruinas a manos de un hombre en el que una vez confié, tengo que recoger los pedazos y encontrar algo que hacer conmigo mismo. No estoy seguro de qué se supone que debe hacer un tipo como yo con un disco como el mío colgando sobre su cabeza... No puedo demostrar mi inocencia a personas que de todos modos no me creerán. Es como si mi vida no tuviera ningún propósito ahora, hasta que me encuentro con mi palomita en el aeropuerto. “Conocer” es una palabra fuerte, pero desde que ella entró en mi vida, no puedo sacármela de la cabeza. Esta chica se ha convertido en mi nueva razón de vivir, aparte de demostrar mi inocencia, y nada me impedirá hacerla mía .

Tratar de abrirme camino en el mundo es difícil, especialmente cuando no cuentas con ayuda. Podría haber ido a la universidad, pero en lugar de eso sueño con ser dueña del restaurante en el que trabajo. He estado trabajando incansablemente para ahorrar dinero para comprar el negocio antes de que los propietarios se jubilen. Mi padrastro se ha ofrecido a comprármelo, pero la idea me incomoda. Honestamente, él también. Como estoy ahorrando, nunca puedo salir. Lo único que espero ver con ansias es el nuevo cliente habitual que tenemos en el restaurante. Es alto y guapo, con ese comportamiento oscuro y misterioso que encuentro magnético.

Mis amigas camareras finalmente me hacen servir su mesa, pero estoy increíblemente nerviosa. ¿ Alguien como él alguna vez estaría interesado en mí?



Mi humilde opinión:


No soy fan de los romances con diferencia de edad pero leí algunos que me gustaron de la autora. Además me encantan los protagonistas cuando son soldados pero cuando la palabra "Daddy", papi, sale en un chillido de la boca de la protagonista en el momento de pasión, se me fueron las ganas de seguir leyendo. Erin y Caleb no eran una pareja que queria apoyar o tenían un romance que me emocionara. Ellos se conocen pero ... yo no sentí la atracción típica del Instalove, estaba lo Stalker pero todo pareció como mecánico entre ellos, sin chispa. Como personajes se sintió como que los dos tenían cosas por resolver o metas que lograr pero no sé mostró.

Aparte de eso, nada de lo que ocurría me enganchaba y eso que el héroe tenía que limpiar su nombre que lo hizo en el último capítulo. Sé que es una lectura rápida pero pudo haber sido un poco más para mejorar la trama.

Me suelen gustar los romances de esta autora pero con este solo quería pasar páginas. No me gustó este y ni siquiera el epílogo lo salvó.

I am voluntarily reviewing an advance reader copy of this book.

Erin has dreamed of owning the diner that she has worked at for the past few years, but so far she has no way of reaching that goal even though her stepfather has offered to bankroll her more than once but he is a man that she feels cannot be trusted and gives her the creeps with the way his eyes crawl over her when she visits her mum. The only bright part of her day is when Caleb comes into the diner, he has become a regular over the past month and even her colleagues have noticed the chemistry that is between them but she can tell that he is hiding something, will his secret rock her world in more ways than one?

Caleb has been waiting for the day that he can take his revenge on the man that destroyed his military career and imprisoned for a crime he didn’t commit. Meeting Erin wasn’t part of the plan but when he literally ran into her that day at the airport she was on his radar and there was no way that he was going to let her get away. Following her to her home seemed the only way to find out all he needed to know and watching her everyday in the diner whilst he works seemed like a good way to get to know her, but discovering that her stepfather is the man that he is there to take his revenge on could derail his plan, will his revenge hurt the woman who owns his heart or could his plan help them both to get what they really want and lead them to their very own HEA?

I am a massive Cassi Hart fan, and this book was a great read, I was on Caleb’s side from page one and you can feel how uncomfortable Erin is when she is around her stepfather. Loving this series and would recommend it if you are a fan of short, steamy insta love reads. 4.2*

Stalked by the Marine was a fabulous addition to the Dearly Devoted Series. Cassi Hart just keeps getting better and better with each book I read of hers. Cassi has earned my loyalty as a fan with her exceptionally well written books that have unique and intriguing plots. The wonderful characters that she breathes life into are always easy to love and I have never had a problem feeling a connection with them. This author has so many good series that I cannot single one of them out as being my favorite. If you have never read a book by Cassi this would be a perfect time to start. All of her loyal fans won't want to miss this book.

Caleb is an ex-Marine who was setup and now lives a life that is anything, but perfect. His soul purpose is to prove his innocence and bring the truth to light of who the real enemy is in this situation. That is until Erin literally runs into him at the airport. Now his reason to exist is his little dove. So, he stalks her waiting for the most opportune time to come into Erin's life and show her they are meant to be together. He goes to the diner she works at everyday to eat and Erin clearly has an attraction towards Caleb. Once Erin friend and fellow worker pushes her to make a move things between her and Caleb quickly change. It is only a matter of time before they will become intimate. But, what will happen when Erin discovers that Caleb has been stalking her?

Ok, this is a fun, fast read with a happy ending. Highly recommend as it delivers, like all of Cassie Hart’s books. Caleb is our MMC. He totally all alpha and protective of his MFC Erin. Erin is sweet, kind, young and innocent.
Caleb was framed by some evil people. And he’s dwelled on it for over a year and is determined to bring them to justice. Caleb was thrown into military prison because of their acts of treason.
Caleb and Erin meet in an airport lobby when he knocks her on her tush. Caleb can’t seem to make himself say anything to her. He’s struck dumb from all the emotions he was feeling. And a lot of feeling it was too!😜 He decided right then She was his! His to watch, his to cherish, his to protect. And so naturally he follows her home to see where she lives.
Erin works at a Resturant and has developed all the feels for the tall, dark and handsome Caleb. He comes in once a day to eat and watch Erin. And she always watches him covertly.
Ok, from then on there’s excitement and drama and FEELS😜.. We find out secrets and espionage, and wrongs, righted. Of course Erin and Caleb find their happy ending, but read on to see that development. If you love instant attraction, protective alphas, innocence, and feels, feels, feels…with her being called his little girl, baby girl and little dove...then this books for you.👍🏻

Stalking romance done right. Caleb and Erin are such a great couple. Their connection is so vibrant from the very beginning. When Caleb stumbles upon Erin his plans for revenge take a turn, and soon, he can't stop following his girl. He knows almost everything about her, from where she lives to what ice creams she likes. A month passes and Caleb spends his lunch hour where Erin works as a waitress. There, everyone knows that Caleb comes to see her every day at the diner, but Erin is not so sure. Once they start to get to know each other, they can't stop thinking about their connection. Their relationship develops quickly and the steamy scenes start in the middle of the book. However, what will Caleb do when he finds out that the man he is looking for to get revenge is somehow close to his girl? Will he be able to get his revenge? Or will he decide to drop his plans for his girl?
I loved their story. I thought it was great, fun, and steamy. We get some drama and some good scenes that leave you swooning for a man like Caleb. I would totally recommend it. I can't wait for the last book in the series.

Caleb and Erin

Caleb was betrayed by someone he trusted in the marines and was falsely imprisoned in military prison. He’s on a mission to right the wrong done to him and make those responsible pay. Especially now that he found his one, clearing his name is paramount. Bumping into Erin at the airport has changed his life and he’s been following her and visiting the diner she works at everyday. He’s watching over her and plans to make her his.

Erin is working hard and saving as much money as she can so that she can be successful and independent. Basically working has been her whole life, so when a handsome stranger comes into her work regularly, she’s nervous around him not having much experience.

This was a cute, sweet and steamy read. I loved the connection between Caleb and Erin. The story itself also was entertaining with suspense, mystery and some twists along the way. Really enjoyable and well done!

Oohhh... This one kept me thoroughly engaged as right from the start it grabs you and doesn't let go.

Caleb is an ex-marine who's on a mission to deal justice and make the wrongs meted out to him as right when he was wrongly dealt a punishment that he didn't deserve.
Not only that it was also his honor and respect that he lost and more than that he needs to bring the culprits to punishment.

But Caleb finds himself utterly entranced by the stranger he stumbles upon and from there on, Erin becomes his prime focus.

The Stalking part is safe kinda as the hero is a really great person and there's something about Caleb that pulls you in and his hot personality just adds up everything.

I can totally understand why Erin is instantly taken up by him.😉

Even though this one was a quick read yet I loved the filthy 🔥 times and the 𝗌𝖾𝗑𝗒 chemistry definitely was something else.
Loved this one.❤️

Stalked by the Marine is book 3 in the Dearly Devoted series. It is a steamy, instalove, OTT, age-gap, stalker, virgin gets her ex-military man romance. Erin is a young waitress in her 20s. Caleb is a 36 year old huge and hunky ex-marine. He was wrongfully imprisoned and looking to get justice when he saw Erin at the airport. He immediately falls for her and begins stalking her. Erin is also attracted to her gentle giant and loves seeing him at the diner. They talk, and things get steamy fast! Their chemistry is hot 🔥 hot 🔥 hot 🔥. Caleb is such a hunky possessive alpha male that turns into a big teddy bear for Erin. Will they make their love work? Perhaps they have more in common than they think? We also get a great HEA. This was a fun, short, and spicy read.

🍦 ARC Review 🍦

Stalked by the Marine by Cassi Hart is the next spicy short in the Dearly Devoted Series. (Each story focuses on a different couple.) Ex-Marine Caleb is anger-walking thru the airport and bumps into Erin...making her fall down. As he goes to help up this sweet, lively young woman - he is instantly smitten with her. He must follow her, see where she lives, watch her, etc. What follows is his sweet-stalking her for the next month & showing up at the diner where she works each day. Erin is intrigued & leary of Caleb at the same time. Unbeknownst to Erin, Caleb his hiding secrets from her. What are of all Caleb's Secrets? You will have to read to find out. 😉

...I definitely enjoyed the *outside shed time* that Caleb & Erin had together... 🥵🔥💋

Caleb is a former marine who was dishonorably discharged for drugs that he was framed for. He had uncovered someone leaking information to some enemies. His mind is set on revenge until he meets Erin. Their meeting was quite by accident but it left quite the impression on Caleb.
He starts stalking Erin to find out everything he can about her. He is completely infatuated with Erin. He goes to the diner Erin works at daily just to be near her. Erin is taken with Caleb when he starts coming to the diner.
This book held my interest the entire time! There was a DDLG kink and a few twists that kept things moving along. This author keeps writing such incredible books! Reading Cassi’s books are all so fascinating. Just try reading some for yourself.

Caleb was a well respected marine who was given the assignment of discovering who was selling military secrets. He was determined and had just figured out the guilty party. He just had to get enough evidence but they struck first. They planted cocaine in his belongings and reported him. He has spent the last several months in military prison. Now that he is out, he is determined to bring the traitors to justice. He flies in to start his plan but at the airport he literally runs into Erin. She is so sweet and beautiful that he knows that she needs to to be his. Now he is torn between getting his revenge and getting his girl.

Caleb is a former marine that was dishonorably discharged after someone planted false evidence on him. He now tries to prove his innocence and take down the man that did that to him. But everything changes when he runs into Erin... literally runs into her at the airport. He is instantly obsessed and stalks her until he knows where she lives and works. Erin is smitten with the new customer too. These two fell head over heels for each other and nobody can stop Caleb from getting and protecting his baby girl. Instalove, age gap, romantic , steamy , with a bit of action and safe with an awesome HEA 😍😍😍😍😍

I enjoyed Erin and Caleb's story. Part of the Dearly Devoted series, this story fits in perfectly. Caleb is a former marine who was wrongly accused of something while in service. He is trying to prove that he was set up by a commanding officer. Who he comes to find out is the stepfather of Erin a woman he meets at the airport. When the two meet they have an instant attraction to one another. As the series is aptly named. Caleb is devoted to Erin and will do whatever it takes to make her his. This was a steamy and entertaining read with a great HEA.

I've read all three stories separately, but reading them in a box set is always great. Every story has its own alpha man and the woman they go for. I chose Stalked by the Marine: We are taken into the lives of Caleb and Erin. He becomes her stalker after they meet at the airport and when they say goodbye, he continues to follow her. Where she lives. at work, in the cafe everywhere she goes. When he finally gives in when she understands that he is stalking her, but also that he is attracted to her and she also shows to him, sparks soon fly. I enjoyed their story.

This is an age gap instalove romance by Cassi Hart. I enjoyed reading Erin and Caleb’s story.

Caleb is determined to get his revenge on those who put him in prison. But when he bumps into Erin. It is love at first sight for Caleb, he instantly knows Erin is his. Erin feels the same, secure in his arms. This story packed the heat and had a good storyline.

This is not for those who like clean romance as this is quite steamy but if you like OTT romance, this is for you.

This is book 3 of Dearly Devoted. Caleb and Erin are such a great couple. Their connection is so vibrant from the very beginning. Caleb is in the town for revenge for the people who put him jail. He didn't know that Erin was the stepdaughter of the man he was going to destroy. But the truth comes out but her love for him was stronger than what was happening. At the end it all came together, and their love survived the explosion of lies.

Caleb, a former Marine and ex-convict, is determined to take down a group of military criminals who falsely accused him of a drug offense. While at the airport, Caleb accidentally bumps into a kind-hearted young woman who takes the blame for their collision and apologizes. Intrigued, Caleb decides to follow her and eventually discovers that her name is Erin. This story has a slimy stepdad, romance, and steam, ending in a HEA. Very highly recommended.

Another fun story in this series that is a fine border between acceptable and creepy. However, the men in these stories are just so possessive of the women they know they are destined to have. Caleb is no different when he runs into Erin in the airport. That's the catalyst for his obsessive stalking, but then his girl turns out to be more involved in his plans for fixing his past than he realized. A good story with some fun twists to it.

Caleb is a Marine who got caught up in a mess and was dishonorably discharged. His mission now is to get the person who put him behind bars arrested for their illegal activities. When he arrives he town he meets Erin. Something connects between them and he ends up watching her, not realizing she is related to the man he is out to get. Will their attraction be enough to keep them together or will knowing he stalked her a bit and is out to destroy her family going to push her away? This was good, just didn't really connect with the characters like normal.

I liked this story. It was entertaining and enjoyable. I would have liked more on what happened to the bad guys but it resolved well. Erin and Caleb had a run in (literally!) and he fell for her big time. Erin was a hard worker and a go getter with a goal in mind. Caleb was looking for some revenge but also setting the record straight and saving the innocent. He soon had a new goal of making Erin fall for him. There were a couple of complications along the way. I loved their happily ever after. I recommend reading this book.

Caleb was determined to bring down the people who framed him and cost him, his career. That is until he literally bumps into Erin. Erin dreams of owning the diner she works at and is determined to do it herself. When Caleb becomes a new regular at the diner, he situates himself into her daily life, but he didn't expect his plans would link so close to the woman who holds his heart. Well written steamy engaging age gap, obseasive desires and more.

This is another fab OTT romance with some good stalker vibes ;) Erin literally bumps into Caleb at the airport and he's immediately smitten. He follows her to learn as much about her as he can all while working on resolving him being framed and sent to military prison. Of course, things aren't that simple but the love and honesty that blooms between Erin and Caleb was awesome to see....and so was the steamy romance ;P

This novella is a fast-paced instalove light stalker romance! Caleb is a disgraced ex-military after someone he trusted betrayed him. He’s determined to clear his name and becomes even more fueled after a chance encounter with the young and beautiful Erin. He’s head over heels and it’s obvious that Erin finds him desirable as well. I loved Caleb! He was so sweet, possessive, and romantic. The steam was fabulous (as always with Cassi Hart books!) and the story got a HEA!
