I just wanna complain... just a little bit. Because this book had good bones, it really did. But there was no flesh to it! No meaty bits that make the story whole. I know I can't expect a whole heck of a lot from a novella (this book was right around 200 pages) but I've read a great number of novellas that can do it right and unfortunately, this book didn't.
First of all, a lot of the hype around the book was about the stalker and stalkee having a pen pal relationship, and while that's absolutely true, we don't get to see it! Literally, he sends her so many letters and she replies to them all and they go on FOR MONTHS and we get to read 2 of them. Just freaking 2.
Then, the reveal of who the stalker actual was could be seen from a mile away. Maybe it wasn't supposed to be a big reveal to begin with? If so, good on the author because it definitely wasn't. And then when the FMC does find out that her stalker is the same guy she's already dating, she gets pissed off (understandable) but gives herself this whole pep talk about it and decides she's not pissed off at all. That its actually a good thing. Great. But then literally the very next scene, just a few freaking seconds after she decides she's not mad, she bitches him out for it and then runs from him! Pick a freaking lane, lady!
Let's also talk about some of the background/side characters. Namely, just one... her best friend, Jenna. Now I wanna preface this particular section of my rant by stating that I love a good stalker romance. The darker the better. But I still need it to be in the realm of possibility. The FMC and her best friend basically killed that for me.
The FMC was running from a very abusive relationship (both physically and mentally). She talks about how she left him after he hit her in front of her whole family while at a dinner. She ran and the only person she told where she was going was her bestie, Jenna. Where the hell were her parents or siblings, etc? Whatever.
So we have the best friend, who knows about everything the FMC has been through and knows she ran. Okay. But when the FMC starts getting these secret letters from her stalker, Jenna basically says "oh thats great! You deserve to get back out there! I wouldn't even worry about it, he brought you flowers, he's clearly nice." Excuse me, what?! Even in dark stalker romance world, that's not the appropriate response!! And then when the FMC starts dating Alex (who is her stalker but she doesn't know that at this point) she tells Jenna she feels guilty about dating him because she also has feelings for the stalker. And Jenna says "oh just date them both, its fine!" Wtf?!
Let's fast forward to the confrontation with her abusive ex. So he shows up to her work, while she's working, and there's a bunch of patrons around, and he starts threatening her! He's literally yelling and threatening her and no one steps in. Then he literally reaching across the counter and punches her in the face and screams "look what you made me fucking do" and still NO ONE STEPS IN!!!! Then here comes her bestie from the back room, sees the FMC on the floor with a bloody nose and her abusive ex looking down on her from the other side of the counter... and what does she do? She says "go away" to the ex, and then leads FMC to a back room. THATS IT!! No cussing out the ex, no "I'm calling the cops", no even telling the FMC that she should call the cops. Just tells her "oh ill finish your shift, you go home and rest".
Literally the stalker was the best part of this book and even he wasn't great.

Short Valentine's stalker novella. The writing reminded me of AJ Merlin and I really enjoyed it--wished it ended up being longer as it had a lot of potential!

I DEVOURED this book in just a few hours! It was hard to put down after I picked it up! I really loved everything about it. It’s a stalker dark romance novella. I honestly wish it would have been longer! And the touch her and 💀 trope. Omg it had me on the edge of my seat!! Definitely worth the read!

Short, sexy & stalkery!! What more could you want?!
I had a fun time reading this one & randomly stumbled upon it while scrolling the streets of KU!
She’s running away from an awful ex, he sees her and immediately becomes infatuated. They are so hot together. He watches her and is there to protect?! Like COME ON 👏👏👏

Downloaded this dark Valentine’s Day novella on a whim when it was suggested in my kindle app. It can only be described as the TEMU version of Haunting Adeline.

short and quick dark valentine’s day themed novella 💌
literally wish this was longer but i loved how it went straight to point but also left room for a bit of character backgrounds with a plot !!
stalker romance, insta attraction, obsession, possessive, touch her and die, psychopath, serial killer, abuse, cheesy moments, and dual pov ❤️
i love a good little stalker romance and i always go searching for one as a palette cleanser. this is just so good for it !! as well as a holiday themed type of book. personally this wasn’t too dark but it does deal with some dark themes. check your triggers and happy reading !!

Valentine's Day stalker // touch her and die vibes// novella.
I ate this up. Actually, I DEVOURED this. The story was SO good! Usually with novellas, you get a pretty bland plot, but, the plot was thick and juicy. It was quality!!! It had the potential to be longer, and I really wish it was!
Why do stalker romances give me butterflies?
Please enjoy these quotes, and just know, I was screaming as I was highlighting them.
"Ever since he'd started watching me, I regained a sense of confidence in myself that I reveled in. It made me feel wanted, breaking through my timidity."
"God, I would follow this man into the deepest pits of hell."
Alex.. this man... I can't form words...
"Fuck. I don't deserve you, Angel. But, I'll spend every moment trying to be a man who does."
"You were fucking made for me, Angel. You're taking me so well."
EXCUSE MEEEE!? *Melts*
Please, read this. Especially if you're a dark romance girly. It's a great palate cleanser if you're in between a series, like me! You're gonna wish it was longer than 120 pages!!

This is a dark stalker romance with intense chemistry and serious “touch her and you’re dead” energy.
He’s obsessive, protective, and completely unhinged in the best way, and I enjoyed most of it. Fast-paced, hot, and perfect if you’re in the mood for a morally gray man who will do anything to keep her safe. 🔥

Whilst this wasn't the most fleshed out, detailed and perfectly written dark romance novella, it was still entertaining and definitely had the potential to be better.
I enjoyed how the story delved in right away, there's nothing better than an opening where the stalkerish, possibly psychopathic MMC, Alex, is burying a body in the woods until he comes across a tearful Abby, the FMC.
Neither of the characters really had much depth to them, especially with Abby being so accepting and even glad about having a stalker. She's fresh out of an abusive relationship, but some of her actions felt strange and usual, especially later in the book when her ex turns up at the cafe she works at, hits her, and then she just carries on like usual- even the customers and her best friend just sit back and watch. Alex just became obsessed with Abby within minutes, and he didn't really have a valid reason for it.
The plot was straightforward, with some cheesy parts but also some cuter moments, such as Abby and Alex writing letters to each other before it's revealed that he's her stalker, however we don't get to read much of the contents of their letters, so we end up missing a lot of that built up connection they've supposedly got. The spice scenes did feel sudden, but they were well written and on the darker side.
The ending and everything wraps up pretty quickly, almost too simply and easily, but regardless it's happy and brings the story to a tight close. This was a quick, easy to read novella, perfect for something to read between books or just a quick fix.

Little Lies and Valentines offers a decent read, but it falls a bit short in some areas.
The premise has potential, especially with the stalker aspect, but it doesn't delve as deeply into that tension as it could have, leaving some missed opportunities for suspense.
The characters, while interesting, feel somewhat underdeveloped, and their motivations could have been explored more to add emotional depth.
It’s an enjoyable read, but it lacks the complexity and intensity that could have made it truly compelling.

Ummm, hotness overload!! I accidentally found this book and I'm so happy that I did because I loved it!! Alex is everything! He's sweet and swoony but has a dark and twisty side!! From the minute he sees Abby, he's going to do whatever he has to do to protect her and give her happiness. And Abby? She's understandably weary of strangers but I love how she finds her strength and takes her life back! I loved this so much, I need the paperback!

Spice: 3/5 🔥
Finished late last night. Not too heavy on the dark side, if you took only a few parts out it would be a sweet romance. Felt like a valentines day version of "He Sees You When You're Sleeping". It is quick paced and kept my intrigue. Wish it was longer to get more depth out of the characters. Just wished for a bit more originality.
Short sweet novella with dark themes and a MMC I know people would pine over.

Little lies & Vanlentines de Lashell Rain
Argumento:
Él la ha estado observando y a ella le gusta.
Abby, escapando de las cicatrices de un pasado abusivo, encuentra consuelo en la rutina de una acogedora cafetería. A medida que llegan misteriosas cartas de amor, ella atrae la atención del admirador invisible, reconstruyendo su confianza en el camino. Ella corresponde con sus propias palabras y forja una conexión que no pensó que encontraría en nadie, y mucho menos a través de tinta y papel. Sin embargo, cuando un encantador cliente habitual, Alex, capta su interés, no puede negar la atracción que siente por él.
Lo que Abby no sabe es que Alex tiene un pequeño secreto.
Mi humilde opinión:
Romance día de San Valentín, pueblo pequeño, admirador secreto por correspondencia, acosador, asesino serial, violencia de género, sangre... No leo mucho romance oscuro pero tenía curiosidad por la historia y además quería leer algo distinto para el día de los enamorados.
Alex es un alguacil de la policía pero secretamente que asesina gente que hizo daño y quedaron en libertad. Abby es una barista que escapó de una relación abusiva, su novio está en prisión y espera haber encontrado un lugar seguro.
Abby y Alex son personajes agradables con su lado gris.
Alex mataba personas malas, tenía cámaras en cada lugar de la casa de la protagonista para observarla, entraba a su casa, se tomaba fotos con ella durmiendo y se las enviaba, usaba una máscara de calavera! Era un tipo dulce, protector y hacia justicia por mano propia cuando el sistema fallaba. Estaba la parte de él inquietante que deberían ser puras banderas rojas para Abby pero a ella le encantaba sentirse observada y se termina enamora de Alex, su acosador. Sabe que hay cosas incorrectas sobre todo el asunto con él pero lo ama y me pareció que al final se demuestra que son la pareja perfecta. Lo dice todo la escena del final cuando ella toma venganza de su ex.
Es un buen romance oscuro, una lectura rápida y para mi diferente con un final sangrientamente feliz.

If you’re looking for a dark romance novella, look no further! Available on Kindle Unlimited, about 119 pages long, it’s a short & sweet read… well sweet despite the fact that the MMC is a morally gray stalker who does some dark shizz. Both Abby and Alex are likable, neither of them annoyed me, because it’s a novella the book moves quickly and it was a pretty captivating read. I would say the last couple chapters sort of make me question what should be appropriate spicy scenes but I guess that goes along with it being a dark romance. I would categorize it as a bit of a romance thriller as well; although a bit light on that. It definitely gave me Mindf*ck series vibes. Was it well written? No. Did I enjoy it? Yes! Overall, 4/5 🌶️ and 4/5 stars ⭐️.

I really enjoyed this novella. It was the right about of spice, touch her and die, and romance.
Abby had been through a lot with her ex. No matter what she did it wasn’t enough for him. She was abused, tired, and full of fead. She was finally able to get away from him and start her life over. That’s when she found her “secret admirer” & Alex. She was torn between the two until she found out the truth.
Alex is tall, handsome and so sweet. Abby is his girl and nobody could mess with that. Not even Abby’s ex, Nicholas, when he finds Abby once again working in a local coffee shop.
Things go south for poor Nicholas though. What a shame.

Oh, how I wish this wasn’t a novella! I devoured this story and wanted more. The plot had a few holes, it was very rushed but the characters were so addicting!
*massive spoilers ahead*
The only minor complaints I had was the reveal of her stalker and how she went through all the emotions in less than 5 minutes and suddenly felt okay about the whole situation.
And the scene at her job with her ex & how literally no one helped her! And how he basically just got out of JAIL and found her so easily. Makes no sense.
But that’s why I wanted this to be a novel & not a novella. I feel like the author could add so much more detail to make this a really good book.

*this is a novella, so I don’t rate it on the same standards as a full length novel
💕Dual POV
💕St@lker romance
💕He falls first/insta-love
💕Touch her and 🔪
Any time I wish a novella was a full length novel, I feel like it’s pretty good. This was a quick, easy, little dark romance to enjoy in a day. It’s not that dark, so if you’re looking to dip your toes in, then this is a good place to start. Alex was a golden retriever, but only for her and I loved him.

Okay was this the most fleshed out, plot driven, common sense book? Maybe not
Did it still make some scream, giggle, and kick my feet? Hell yeah!
Maybe some people are more thoughtful critics than me but I absolutely devoured this book in one sitting. Part of me wishes this was more than just a novella but this was the perfect little taste I was looking for to get in the Valentine’s Day spirit (dark romance style)
Almost gave me lights out but Valentine’s Day version.

3.5 stars. It was a good, short novella, I was able to just sit and read it over the course of a couple hours. There were a couple things that bugged me - like the fact that there’s a mention of hair being tucked behind Abby’s ear 7 times. 5 of those before page 50. It’s giving that chick from Twilight vibes. Can she not do anything else with her hands?
I did like the touch of fucking next to a man they murdered together for Valentine’s Day though. That was dark romance at its finest. Lol.

Wow this book was a absolute gem and perfect for my favorite holiday! Spice, revenge and obsession! This gave me similar vibes as Butcher & Blackbird as well as Lights Out. It was the perfect balance of romance and DUAL POV that will leave you breathless.

This was such a cute little dark romance and perfect for Valentine’s Day. I flew through it and couldn’t put it down. I loved that it didn’t drag on and on, there was spice and plot. Alex is another “stalker” I’m adding to my list of stalker boyfriends. If you haven’t read it or been on the fence, just do it!
