Will he be her salvation or her downfall?

What a amazing book! I really enjoyed the tension between Sadie and Mateo. When the book's ending, I never expected this!!!!
Now I immediately need book 2 now!

[Smutty Little Books · Rating 3 out of 5]

I REALLY wanted to love this book but it missed its mark for me. I’ll be the first to admit that I can’t stand when characters continuously make ridiculous decisions or react unrealistically to certain events so this book just didn’t mesh well with me.

Maybe the next book will change my perspective, here’s hoping!

4.5 ⭐️ What happens when you fall in love with your stalker? This is a story about love, loss, and starting over. It follows a woman who’s been through something really hard, and now she’s trying to figure out how to move forward. She decides to stay in a cabin in Alaska for three months to try and center herself but her shadow is right behind her.

I did guess one of the twists really early on (page 10) but that didn’t ruin the book for me. I was actually still shocked because I couldn’t believe my wild prediction was correct. I had no idea where the story would go after that, and I liked being surprised by how it all played out.

This was a quick read. While it started off good, once Sadie got to Alaska, everything was so sped up it made it unbelievable. I wish her grief was a little more dragged out and Mateo’s stalking was a little more dragged out as well. It would have been interesting to see if he had told her everything first and kept her in the cabin if she could have fallen for him, instead of the other way around. Though I understand the set up to give way to the next installment of the story. May read it just to see how Sadie handled him, but not dying to do so at this time.

3.75 ⭐️
3 🌶️
I enjoyed this book, it was quite good. My only ‘complaint’ would be that I felt like Sadie went from scared of Mateo to in love with him so quickly, before learning much about him. But I loved how aggressive and unhinged he was, it was great. And that little twist at the end, definitely not what I thought was coming, although I noticed the end coming up pretty quickly so I knew somethingggg had to happen. I can’t wait to read the next one!

I really wanted to love this book but I really just don't think it was for me. It all felt a bit rushed, at some points we had him in one position and then the next minute he was in another position without any indication that he had changed. It was strange how quickly the main character fell and then that ending just didn't sit right with me.

[Jenn Ferlita · Rating 3 out of 5]

At the risk of sounding completely unhinged, Mateo is not the good kind of stalker. If you get it, you get it. This was a super quick read but FMC Sadie has ZERO survival skills and certain things just felt really abrupt and out of character for both parties. The feelings were too fast for me to believe and it felt a bit rushed.

[Lauren Rogers · Rating 5 out of 5]

Really loved this book! It’s a really quick read with a perfect amount of spice (🌶️🌶️🌶️/5), mystery, and heartbreak. A must-read, dark stalker-romance. Can’t wait to see if the story continues with a sequel!

[Alex · Rating 5 out of 5]

I loved this book. Definitely read and understand the trigger warnings.

I got to let my inner chaos gremlin out, and she LOVED it. It ended on a cliffhanger with a twist I only slightly suspected. The end chapter had my little gremlin self cackling with delight! I can't wait for the second book!

[Habibah · Rating 5 out of 5]

interesting

I don’t think I’ve ever read a stalker romance- and I read a variety of books! I found this to be very interesting and can’t wait to see what happens in the next book. Does he have more secrets? Does she?

[Renee Charles · Rating 3 out of 5]

Book is very short. I felt more could have been done to the writing in this. I rolled my eyes at times reading this. Classic stalker romance. I didn’t feel there was a lot of character to the FMC. The author did leave you with a cliffhanger and wanting to read the next book.

[Livi ✨ · Rating 1 out of 5]

it felt like this book was just putting a bunch of events together in weird ways just to make stuff happen, and then put the most awkward spicy scenes in there with a pinch of attempted character development. this was just.... bad :(

[Jenny · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amazing read! One of my favorite reads from this year. I wish I wish I could erase my mind and read it again! J.P. Jayne really knows how to capture the audience! I couldn't put it down!

[Charmaine Ransom · Rating 5 out of 5]

Can not wait for the next book. I read it in one sitting.

[Lisa Deal · Rating 5 out of 5]

I thoroughly enjoyed this book! The story and journey that the author took us on was amazing and I can't wait to find out what happens next!

[Anna Ruggiero · Rating 4 out of 5]

Honestly almost DNF this because the love felt rushed and to insta for me but holy crap I’m glad I didn’t 🤯 wtf was that?! I am shooketh

[Britani · Rating 1 out of 5]

There was zero story line.
It was rushed.
Sadie has zero survival instincts.

[Madison Selkirk · Rating 1 out of 5]

No part of this book made any sense. MMC was literally a really bad stalker, and the FMC was just extremely naive. So poorly written, not even the smut was good.

[Kelsey · Rating 4 out of 5]

A quick stalker romance

This story was super quick and spicy. I wanted more from it at first but now I just need closure lol very interesting turn of events.

[Acacia · Rating 3 out of 5]

90% of the book was just very slow but that last 10% was it and I can't wait for the next book.

[trashrat · Rating 5 out of 5]

As far as fast paced stalker romances go, this was the most.. emotional? definitely left me wanting to know what happens next and more of Mateo’s tattooed fingers. They’re delightfully delusional.

[Casey · Rating 2 out of 5]

Wtf was that ending!?

[Kelley Ellis · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great read…definitely lots of plot twists! Ready to read the second book!

[Kristen leffel · Rating 5 out of 5]

A must read!

Great plot and character development with some good spice to it! J. P. Jayne - I can’t wait to read your next book!

[Jasmine Louise · Rating 4 out of 5]

When I tell you I did not expect the ending 😮 was routing for Sadie and Mateo and now I’m just like uhhh

Definitely gives haunting Adeline vibes 🫶🏻

[Arianna Michele Ramsey · Rating 4 out of 5]

Mateo and Sadie. First off, Mateo is absolutely unhinged, let’s go ahead and establish this. 😂

This was a very face paced dark stalker romance with a big twist at the end that you ✨MIGHT✨ have suspected. It completely blindsided me and left me wanting more at the end.

It could have been a little longer for relationship development between Sadie and Mateo, and because it felt a little rushed is why I gave it only 4⭐️. I would have liked more development from Sadie, because we already knew Mateo was all in.

I loved the spice. Nicely written and Mateo was all consuming. For spice alone I gave it 🌶️🌶️🌶️.5 peppers.

Overall this was a delectable quick dark romance read. PLEASE, check your trigger warnings. This does end on a cliffhanger.
