I couldn't stand that he keeps mentioning how small and tiny she is every other chapter. It just reminds me of that hamster eating a banana meme.

[Mindy Reader · Rating 2 out of 5]

Hero-40yr old, football coach-very protective and possessive. A lot of internal conflict. The dark side he kept referring to was pretty weak.
Heroine-22yr old, cheerleader- sweet but a little TSTL. Why she thought cheering would be more important than her safety????🤨🙄

Heat lvl🔥🔥🔥 light stalking, mild toy play, DDLG, breeding kink(breeding kink could have been a lot better. More tell and less show)

3 - 3.5 smut-scale stars!

I won’t pretend I haven’t immensely enjoyed this series. The sweet instalove stalker vibe has been on point and I love the OTT possessive and obsessive men Mayra has created.

Stalked by the Coach was another good installment but the use of Daddy was a little excessive for my taste. However, who can’t love a hero that wants to worship the ground his girl walks on.

Coach Ryan spots Alicia when she has car trouble one evening and that’s all it takes for the older hunk to fall head over heels for the younger petite cheerleader with a heart of gold.

Smutty and cute!

”Her needs would take precedence over mine. Every single time. I was her daddy. Her man. I was the one who would take care of her from here on out.”

Why do these books have to end. I can't get enough of them and to think the series is done. Wow I loved this book so much I couldn't put it down. He was everything and more and I loved her and how small she was. Love love love

4.5/5 stars.

I actually liked this one a lot. It wasn’t too intense compared to the others. Both characters were adorable with each other

Steam- 2.5/3 daddy kink, light breeding kink

…. May i just say how much of an insane take this was…


FIRST OF ALL- GENUINELY WONDERING TO THE PEOPLE OUT THERE THAT HAVE A D*DDY KINK, DO U FOLKS LIKE SAYING/ READING THAT STUFF TO THE POINT WHERE ITS IN EVERY SENTENCE MADE?!? i feel like theres a limit and this shit went to the fucking milky on how many times that word was used

Another thing, um why did he keep saying how small she was, he was basically infantalizing her to the max and i wanted to play the violin on my wrists

THE GIRL TOO , COACH D*DDY (OH BROTHER THIS GUYS STINKS) THAT SOUNDS SO HILARIOUSLY INSANE I WAS CACKLING EVERYTIME SHE WOULD SAY THAT

This book was more than just a comedy to me, it was also the block that really solidified how much i HATE, LOATHE, DESPISEEE that kink,,,,,,

The one good thing that even happened in this book was that he saved her from a douchey creep, (however went to be one but ig it cancels out bc they matched each others freak???)

[Hey Lin]

Eehhhhhhhhhhhh...... Aaaaaaahhh........this should have been at least a three star foe me 😭😭😭 I liked the other two or three books 🤷🤷

You know when a dog gets a treat or a huge piece of chimken dangled in front of it? And it starts down drooling and licking its chomps? That's like the coach in this book. But also imagine him looking at a cheerleader and internalizing how bad he wants to fuck her for a whole chapter. That's this book.

The girl was kinda like Reese Witherspoon in legally blonde too. Pop and snap yall. Pop and snap. And if you don't get that, we can't be book friends 👀😂

Dude.....and only dexter Morgan sealed the deal with his dark passenger ok? 😂😂😂

I dnfed......

[Page Passion · Rating 4 out of 5]

I liked this one a lot. Very spicy and of all the books in the series I personally think the best written so far. I love when you can see the progression of an author getting better at their craft. My only caveat might be the stalking element. I thought the stalking was better executed in the previous books. This is a fun over the top age gap romance with cheerleader and coach and I was up late trying to finish. 🔥

[Alison · Rating 5 out of 5]

Crazy Stalker

I’m no stranger to stalker romances but you got to love one where our hero thinks he has a literal demon living inside him.

Loved his crazy obsession and how he did some real stalking, none of this barely there stalking you sometimes get.

Just a plain good stalker read.

[Jazmine Lawhorn · Rating 1 out of 5]

This novella was trash. I think it ruined my daddy kink. He was too obsessed with how small she was …like it was creepy and disturbing. He called her tinker bell. Like WTF. And why was she always giggling like a toddler. I don’t know what the author was thinking when she wrote this one.

Stalked by the Coach de Mayra Statham Serie Obsessed Alphas libro 4

Argumento:

El fútbol ha sido mi vida.

He estado viviendo y respirando el juego durante los últimos cuarenta años.

Hasta que una pequeña animadora me llama la atención en un estacionamiento oscuro después de un juego. Ella despierta algo dentro de mí. Algo oscuro. Un demonio con un tornillo suelto que ha jurado mantenerla a salvo y reclamarla para sí mismo a pesar del hecho de que es demasiado joven para un hombre como yo.

He tratado de mantener mi distancia, pero no importa cuánto intente mantenerme alejado, nuestros caminos siguen cruzándose. Por primera vez en mi vida, mis prioridades están por todos lados. El fútbol ya no es lo primero en mi lista. Tratar de mantener un ojo en la pequeña animadora que saca a relucir un lado de mí que no sabía que existía supera el juego.

La oscuridad dentro de mí crece. Me obliga a convertirme en un hombre que no reconozco. Uno que acecha en las sombras, amenaza a cualquiera que pueda lastimarla. Pero eso no es suficiente. No cuando nos quedamos atrapados juntos por una noche que rompe mis defensas y destroza mi control. Un beso borra cualquier pizca de pensamiento racional que tenga sobre ella, y no pienso renunciar a ella.

Alicia Rosas no tiene idea de lo retorcido que me tiene. No tiene idea de las cosas enfermizas que hay en mi cabeza ni de lo lejos que llegaría para verla sonreír y mantenerla sana y salva. Si lo hiciera, huiría.

Lástima que no tenga otra opción ahora que es mía. Haré lo que sea para que siga siendo así.



Mi humilde opinión:

Cuarto libro de la serie Obsessed Alphas, un romance universitario con el tema deportivo, futbol americano, con un heroe obsesivo, posesivo OTT, atracción instantánea y diferencia de edad, ella 22 y él 40.

La porrista Alicia y el entrenador Goodwin se enamoran a primera obsesión, pero hay un gran problema, si su romance sale a la luz el escandalo los arruinaría a ambos. Falta poco para que ella se gradúe de la universidad y él termine de llevar al equipo a la victoria, solo deben esperar para tener la libertad de estar juntos abiertamente pero la espera esta resultando ser toda una tortura.

Me gustó la obsesión de Ryan por Alicia y lo protector que era con ella, la salvó mas de una vez de su compañero de equipo. Kevin debió recibir una denuncia de Alicia o una buena golpiza por las cosas que le hizo, lo primero debió hacerse.

Las partes picantes estaban bien pero fueron demasiadas, quería mas historia aparte. Disfruto de los romances con brecha de edad pero no me gusta el juego Niña de papi. Dejando eso de lado, la historia fue entretenida, sin dramas y con un buen final pero no es una de mis favoritas de la serie.

Me encantó la pequeña actualización de Hemi y Sara!

[Jen ♥ · Rating 3 out of 5]

the book was good, their craziness with each other was over the top but who cares? not me, i actually enjoyed reading the two of them together. though the age gap was a bit uncomfortable with me, i think 18 years was way too huge for my own taste. their chemistry was off the charts and the sexual tension between them was palpable. so when they finally gave in, it didn't surprise me that it would be so so hot.

but then alicia had to act like a stage 5 clinger and desperate all because ryan didn't text or call her within 24 hours. i really despise it when fmc act so dumb because they didn't get a word from the mmc. i also partly thought that she was selfish because it's not just ryan who's riding this football season, every staff and players too. i wish she would've been more rational and mature to consider those things and not just act out because she's freaking horny and clingy.

i have to say that the daddy kink was too much for me. maybe it's because i'm not really a fan of said kink, but i guess it's also because the use of the word "daddy" was way too many to count. it made me cringe so hard at times, as i felt like it was so overused in the story.

anyway, i liked ryan's obsessiveness it wasn't annoying at all for me. and for alicia, i think she was really sweet and kind of lonely after her parents died. i'm glad she found someone who truly cares for her.

as for kevin, he was a real piece of shit. if i can only get inside the book i'll throat punch that dickhead. he was such a waste of air even in fictional world.

overall this is a 3 star rating for me, just an okay read i guess. good enough to pass time considering this is 200 pages only.

Stalker behavior
Attempted SA
Purposefully injuring mfc

Coach Ryan sees Alicia stranded in the parking lot one night, and the beast of obsession awakens in him. He starts following her, going as far as breaking into the empty house next door to watch her. Alicia has a crush on the football coach, but she also has a problem with one of the men on the squad not understanding the word, "No." One night coach catches him hurting Alicia and makes it clear how he feels about it. Then Ryan takes her home with him, and truth starts flowing both ways. But she's not safe with that boy still on the cheer squad. And the final big game is upon them...

Conceptually, I understand the taboo of this relationship. Personally, they are both above the age of consent, and it shouldn't matter if he isn't her teacher. Also, after that scene in the gym, Coach should have reported that kid's drug use. I do understand, though, that the backlash from that probably would have been worse. I can't find the book for Red, but I hope he gets his girl too.
Betty's last name is wrong in this book. There were other typos, but that one annoyed me the most. (As of August 2023, hopefully it gets changed)

This was a sweet and steamy read with a sprinkle of darkness and I ate it all up.

Likes
- Coach Ryan 🥵🥵🥵
- He’s absolutely feral for her from the start.
- His inner voice is unhinged when it comes to her.
- She calls him Daddy 🔥 this used to give me the ick but was so hot in this book! I’d call Coach Ryan whatever the hell he wanted, he wouldn’t need to ask twice 🧎‍♀️🧎‍♀️
- The shower scene 🫠🫠
- Loved that the fmc, Alicia, just let herself be into him rather than putting up the ‘oh we shouldn’t do this’ fight
- Their chemistry was insane
- He stalks her and is absolutely obsessed and in love from the get go. He does everything he can to protect her.

Dislikes
- A few editing issues but the story and spice were good enough that they didn’t get in the way of my enjoyment

[Julie · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was nothing short of amazing to read! There a couple of kinks involved - DDLG, age gap & teacher/student. This book is part of a series of interconnected characters but can be read as a standalone. Ryan is a coach of the football team where Alicia goes to school and is a cheerleader.
Alicia has had a crush on Coach Ryan since she saw him 3 years ago. Since Ryan was so focused on the football team, he just noticed Alicia her senior year. Ryan is under her spell almost from the time that they meet. Alicia is glad that her crush has finally noticed her.
This book had all of the feels! As wrong as their relationship seemed to be in the eyes of the school, they worked well in their lives together.
I am voluntarily leaving this review.

Exactly like it sounds like

Days away from the championship game, collage football coach Ryan Goodwin runs into cheerleader Alicia Rojas and is immediately enamored. They desperately pine for each other, but the timing is horrible as any relationship discovered would result in scandal.

If you're looking for a Daddy Dom, forbidden romance, stalker smut book, this is exactly that. The writing is good and the characters are just insane enough to find all of this ok. There's not really a ton of plot, it's just a great example of a very specific type of book. I'm not very fond of the title, but it's an apt descriptor of what you're in for.

Chemistry🔥🔥 🔥🔥🔥
Ryan & Alicia 💯💥 & all 💛💛

Ryan and Alicia were by far the darkest couple of the series. Ryan's character had the darkest tendencies out all the Male MC'S across all 4 books, luckily for him Alicia seemed to have a bit of the same and want to feed want to feed his "demon" and get off on it. They fit together together perfectly. They both were 1000% in once they both realized this, despite the many things that could be have been viewed as obstacles in their way. Their chemistry🔥 had me reaching for my water and will have you wishing that you had someone to call Daddy. (I know I was lol)

[WhiskeyandReading · Rating 4 out of 5]

I feel like I need to take a cold shower after reading this. I must say this one was the best one out of the series. I'm pretty sure it was the age gap or it could have been the dirty mouth or the stalking but honestly, it doesn't matter because this book was on fire. I read this book in an hour because it was so good. Ryan was a beast in and out of bed being exactly what Alicia craved. She was his yang to his yin. I highly recommend reading this series especially like over the top stalker romances. Do you know what it was? The daddy kink for me.

[Mercedes · Rating 3 out of 5]

eh. never went there.

This book was confusing and kind of tame. It starts out with the mmc basically losing his mind mentally for this girl but it never quit goes anywhere. Maybe I’ve read too many actual dark romances to enjoy this. For example he would tell her things like “you don’t know how much danger you are in with me” and then proceed to respect all of her bounties and give her a sweet kiss. Honestly it’s like twilight but with an age gap that never even matters.

The Daddy kink in this was also an afterthought, just mediocre writing in general.

[Jill K. Davis · Rating 4 out of 5]

OM stalks YW

Coach meets Alicia when he rescues her in the parking lot after a game, and becomes immediately obsessed. It does seem that Alicia has been obsessed with him longer than the reverse. It was a fun read, and Coach had to get past not only his obsession but the age difference. Alicia didn't seem to have the same issue. It's been a minute since I read the first 3 in the series, but I seemed to enjoy this one more.

DNF 80%

- Forbidden romance
- Coach // cheerleader
- Age gap 40/22
- Stalking

Not so good as former book. He’s been around her for the last 3 years but never noticed her, until one night she has trouble with her car and he sees her. And he’s immediately obsessed.

He’s a former manwh*re, says it’s been a while. But had casual hook ups and fuk buddies. Only talked about. No owd.

Some omd with a guy on her cheer team who wants her and is an ass. She’s not a V, had s*x one time.

[BurnMyKindle · Rating 4 out of 5]

If you like an age gap, with an obsessed MMC, a Daddy kink and a forbidden relationship, you will like this one! While Coach tries to stay away due to the dirty thoughts running through his mind when it comes to Alicia, he has no idea that she is having the same fantasies. This was a quick read with a walking red flag of an MMC, but I read it in one sitting. It was everything I was looking for in a quick read.

[Nicoline · Rating 2 out of 5]

This one made me cringe a bit too much. Like, you cannot expect me to read the MMC say 'this perfect little cunnie' to the FMC and then keep a straight face. There’s just no way.

I also hated that she would refer to him as daddy in her mind—in her inner monologue. I didn’t mind it when they were dirty talking or whatever, but to actually think of him as daddy in her everyday thoughts?? And don’t even get me started on when she calls him "Coach Daddy" 😐

[Noemi · Rating 4 out of 5]

Ryan takes one look at Alicia

Ryan takes one look at Alicia, and he falls hard! Their problem is that he's the head football coach and she's a student at the same college.

Ryan is obsessed with Alicia, and little does he know that Alicia feels the same about him.

This is a HOT 🔥 insta lust/love read!

I enjoyed this read 📚!
