Rate this book
I’ve always held back my darkness. But for her, I’ll unleash it. All of it…

I never lose control.
Just one moment of happiness might bring forth the evil that taints my blood. So, I stick to satisfying other people’s fantasies with my kink dating app.
That’s how I found her.
Regan Everglow is sweet. Deserving of all the beauty this life has to offer.
But she’s known darkness, too. Her control was stolen from her years ago. Now, she’s ready to take it back.
And I’m going to help.
I wish I could say my intentions were pure. But they’re not.
Truth is, I’m obsessed with her. I’d stalk her to the ends of the earth.
Because she draws out the beast I keep locked inside me, like a moth to a flame—and she has no idea how far that beast would go to protect her. She’s about to find out, though.
So is any man who even thinks of touching my Regan again…

When Eva puts out bangers, I fangirl!! This one was delicious. Lots of horror movie references. Regan, my girl, had a horrible tragic thing happen to her when she was 15 it left marks on her body and mind. But she's trying to move on and try to Conquer her fear of dating so she signs up for a kinksters dating app so she has control over what happens and she can replace a horrible memory with a good one. But sadly, little did she know she has a tiny stalker lol. Landon, the owner of the site and he had his own problems. Demons that still haunt him, he tries.. keyword TRIES to keep his distance from Regan, but they just match. He does mess up her matches, which I find funny, lol. He did get jelly of what he was doing. Don't worry them dates ended badly, and well, she got a gift or 2 from Landom talk about gory presents.

These two dance around each other a few times, but they slowly start to stop fighting the attraction. The spiceeeee is delicious. Eva knows how to make them panties drop heheh.

Don't worry, we also have drama for the couple with the past, and I'll tell you I did shed a few tears at what happened.

Eva knows how to write dark, dirty and delicious. It’s been a hot minute since I read this and don’t plan on witting a huge review but I really loved this book.

Exhibit 1:

“That monster didn’t take shit from you. You belong to me. Your heart belongs to me. Every. Hole. In. Your. Body. Is. Mine. Always have. Always will. I’ll make that nightmare go away, little lamb. I’ll make all of your nightmares go away.”


Triggers galore and depraved but utterly captivating. The hero was crazy and the heroine needed his crazy. Love Eva’s writing.

he literally had her tattoo her initials on his dick !!! what else could you possibly want

REGAN AND LANDON ARE ELECTRIC OMG 😍

thank you so much eva for giving me the opportunity to arc read 🦋🩶 i completely fell in love with these characters, especially regan. their relationship is so intense and beautiful. this was perfect !!

this is a dark stalker romance, ceo of dating app mmc, fmc with heavy trauma, look at her profile and die, sexual assault (not by mmc), very dark themes, revenge plot, healing, possession, obsession, free use, praise, degradation, violence, gore, dual pov, and jaw dropping smut

landon had his company, a dating website for the dark and depraved. he didn’t have time or had any interest in using his site to find someone or delve into his wants and needs. he just simply existed and put his company first. that is until regan finally found herself on this website. she listed all the kinks she’s down for and one in particular peaked landon’s interest. through all this time, he fantasized about her, and watched her through the screen. fourteen days he spent his days looking at regan’s profile. fourteen days hiding behind the screen just watching her, he swore he wouldn’t insert himself in her life because of his past. but when men suddenly start flooding her messages with harmful and disgusting words, he simply had enough 😏 this man took “touch her and die” and flipped it around to “look at her profile and your eyeballs are gifted to her and you’re dead” 🤭

i literally giggled my ass off while landon went on his little killing spree. that’s so concerning but i was HERE FOR IT !!

regan 🖤 oh i just wanted to be with her and read crazy books with her. this girl was sexual assaulted one night walking home through central park. she forced herself to stay strong and not break in front of her loved ones because she knew it would destroy them even more. she learned how to defend herself and always stayed strapped with !! she became such a force to be reckoned with and everything about her is pure badass energy. i love how she held herself during a time where she had all the right in the world to break down. but i also love how she submitted and knew she was safe around landon 🥹 she’s beautiful. she’s everything.


i actually never wanted to leave regan and landon omg 😭 i wanted to be with them for as long as possible. these two went through so much growing up. the fact that they found each other when one was about to give up and the other just starting to open up, was everything !! the revenge plot was chefs fucking kiss 😚🤌🏼 i couldn’t stop reading

Eva, your writing in this piece is nothing short of extraordinary! I find myself truly at a loss for words. This book is an absolute masterpiece! The way you have crafted the relationship between London and Regan is exceptional, capturing the complexity and depth of their connection with such finesse. Their chemistry leaps off the page, making it clear that they are meant for one another. London, in particular, stands out as a brilliantly unhinged character; his intensity and unpredictability add a fascinating layer to the story. I can honestly say he’s my favorite character of yours to date—his complexity keeps me enthralled and eager for more.

I recommend it 💯 %

Landon is crazy. Regan is the victim. Somehow, they fit together like two pieces of an insane puzzle. If this were real life, you’d run like hell, but in the context of a dark romance, Landon and Regan have smokin’ hot chemistry.

This book is packed with triggers. So yeah, when my eyebrows weren’t up in my hairline, they were furrowed so hard I was probably giving myself premature wrinkles. But overall, I really enjoyed the story... except for one thing that was so unbelievable I just couldn’t overlook it.

SPOILER BELOW...



Yeah. Let that sink in.

Sigh. This really would have been a 5 star read if not for two of my least favorite plot lines in a dark romance.

1. When the H promises retribution on the evil man who raped/tortured his girl, promises something like “I won’t fail you” and then LITERALLY two pages later, fails her, and she ends up kidnapped again by the same psycho because H did not think things through. UGHHH I hate it! Why do authors do this stupid “plot twist” I would have much preferred if he just got to torture her rapist immediately, but instead the author chose to make poor Regan suffer even more after everything she had been through. It’s so overdone and makes the hero look super weak in my eyes. Landon was great, we didn’t need that third act plot twist, and I’m forever salty about authors using female pain to further their storylines. It’s old, it’s tired, it’s bullshit.

2. Regan supposedly grew up watching horror movies, her dad is a famous horror genre writer, and Landon is supposedly a psycho killer, but you’re telling me you couldn’t come up with a more creative torture than raping the villain with a spiked bat up his ass? I mean come on what is this amateur hour?! She suffered for YEARS, and can’t have kids. Thats a lifelong trauma. This rapist got to die so quickly. There are ways to keep a person alive for days torturing them!!! It’s what Regan deserved! It’s what ALL the babies that monster raped, deserve! I HATE when they kill the villain too easily ugh. Make him suffer for weeks! Burn him! Cut out his tongue and put salt on the wound! Starve him! Cut off his legs and bribe a nurse to heal him so you can do it all over again! Peel his skin off while blasting some Taylor swift music! Oh damn. Maybe I need to seek a therapist. But man I was so annoyed because if you’re gonna write a dark romance the least you could do is be prepared to do the work and google torturing a rapist 101.

In Moth to a Flame, Landon, a man who controls his dark impulses through a kink dating app, becomes obsessed with Regan, a woman whose own past with darkness leads them both to a dangerous, all-consuming connection, where his protective instincts will stop at nothing to keep her safe and claim her for himself.

I went into this book blind, drawn in by its dark romance themes and tropes.

This book felt like a mix of the movie You and the Harley Quinn-Joker dynamic.

At 15, Regan, once innocent and carefree, experiences a traumatic event that shatters her life and leaves her scarred, both physically and emotionally.

Ten years later, she turns to a dating site for solace, where CEO Landon finds her profile and becomes dangerously obsessed with her.

While this book is easily the most unhinged I've ever read, I couldn’t put it down and found the ending surprisingly satisfying.

Please read the trigger warnings!

Regan is on the dating site Moth to a Flame looking for someone to help her live out a fantasy she has. The problem is that the owner of the site has found her profile and becomes obsessed. Nothing will stop him from finding her. How far will he go to get her? Extremely far.

I love that Landon calls Regan "Little Lamb". What happened to Landon's parents is heartbreaking. I like how Landon came across Regan's profile. The fact that Landon put a wall up on Regan's profile so no one else would see it is genius. I didn't expect the gifts Landon gave Regan. Their first meeting was different. I love how strong Landon makes Regan. The ending was crazy.

I absolutely love this story but it was very hard to get through. The trigger warnings are there for a reason so please read them. Eva is such a good story teller and sucks you right into all her stories. She continues to write bangers and I love them all.

ARC review

4.5⭐|5🌶|18%🌶 frequency

This book is dark. It's really really dark. I think it's the darkest book I've read so far 🙈 It's the first book I've read by Eva yet, and I'll definitely read more 😎 And am I ashamed of it? NO. Definitely NOT. I hate it when people think that dark romance is bad. Why? People read thrillers or other books about $er!al k!IIer$ but if it's in a romance book, it's not ok? Go f yourself! Stop judging people about what they are reading!

I'm not sure what I expected about the book. To be honest, I rarely read anything about a book I'm going to read. It's just the tropes and the TW/CW I'm reading when I'm signing up for an ARC of a new-to-me author. I saw Eva on threads talking about her books all the time and I just knew I had to put at least one on my TBR (that means, I'll REALLY read them in the next few months). While I checked which one, I saw there was a new one, so the decision was made 😉
And here I am, not knowing what to write about it 🙈 Because there is so much happening in the book and I'm afraid I'll spoil anything...

I'm lucky I never experienced anything of what happened to Regan. Nobody should experience it! So, of course, I felt sorry for her. But she is also a strong woman. She survived and she lives 💪 Yes, with nightmares, but still she lives.
And Landon? OMG 🥵 I'm not sure if he is still a morally grey guy or if he is already full of 🚩 🙈 But he is 🔥 so 🔥. I think I would fall for him too if I were Regan 😎 I mean, come on, other guys send flowers and Landon sends 👀 Isn't that 🔥? I love it when touch her and ☠️ isn't just a saying 😁

Yes, Landon and Regan's love story is very fast past, but when you know, you know. Right? 🩷
I loved Regan's family. They are such a close-knit, especially Regan and Rosemary (her sister).

Dark, fast-paced, and spicy af!
________________________
I just found a new favorite author! This baby right here was the perfect blend of spice, darkness, obsession, and love. I couldn't get enough.

Landon has my whole heart (and panties lol). He was so funny when he shouldn't be, so caring, obsessed, dark... I need this man biblically. His story was extremely sad and I was so happy when he 'met' Regan. His tech abilities really came in clutch. He was the perfect anti-hero and I couldn't get enough of that last 5 chapters. Live, laugh, love, get yourself a serial killer that only kills for you.

Regan was such a resilient and strong character. She got over what happened to her on her terms and wasn't going to let anyone take that from her. She got her pound of flesh and it couldn't make me happier.

I especially enjoyed the HEA without kids. Sometimes authors try and force the couple to have kids in the epilogue only because its 'what's expected' and even though the reasons for not having kids in this book are not a simple 'i-don't-want-to' I liked the fact nevertheless.

Will be checking the rest of Eva's books (we have the same name lol) and already signed up for an ARC for her next one. That should tell you how much I enjoyed her writing.

Moth to a flame…..can we just take a minute to appreciate how this book is written, well done Eva Marks.

What a freakishly good crazy ass book!
Landon is as crazy as they come but in an obsessive & possessive way, I mean he sends the eyeballs of anyone who looks at his girl Regan, as a gift, wrapped in a velvet box of course.

Landon loves hard & he will do anything to help fix his one true love who at 15 was raped & beaten. This includes her desire for CNC, he does it all for her & it’s HOT!

This book crosses the line in so many good ways, it’s kinky, pushes boundaries & it’s raw.

The last few chapters were my fav! Brutal, bloody & sick, just how I like things.

Easily 4 stars for me…..I like to feel attracted to my MMC & Landon didn’t do it for me but I loved everything else about him.

It is so bad I wanna give you a zero, but that’s not possible so I give you, a one :)))

Dark romance is probably a top genre for me and I feel like I’ve read some darkkk stuff but this was BEYOND anything I’ve ever read. Everyone has their ‘thing’ or their fantasy but good god this author needs to be checked into a psych ward or something … this is ur warning: major sexualisation of 🍇

I feel like my face hurts from reading it like this 😬

I should’ve called it as soon as it reveals Regan’s abusers name as Lester 🙂 girl please is this satire????? BURN IT

I would have finished in a day, had I not started it late on (story of my life) and a couple of ARCs came up. However, this did not distract me from this story 🥵

Her past will not leave her, it haunts her everyday and night. In an attempt to thwart or play her mind at its own game she joins a k!nk site ‘Moth to a Flame’ where she is hoping to meet that one person who can fight her demons, eliminate them within a CNC role play. Will she find peace, pain or promise?

He watches, sees, researches and is immediately obsessed. She will be his, make no mistake, are his methods plausible? Will she find his ways sickening? Is he the one to put her demons to rest? Will the moth flicker and d!e?

I enjoyed this storyline, the way he cares, protects and observes her to be able to read her, is made possible by Eva setting the visuals so well. I loved her and her relationship with her sister and parents their undying support for her. The protagonist’s in my mind got what they deserved and again the visuals were brilliant, though may be some will not think that. So do read the trigger warnings.

It was interesting until it wasnt ..


things which didnt make sense . ( some of them could be seen as spoilers , so be aware.)

He is a CEO and has the money of the world , yet , he couldnt have an advanced security system to protect his house from low criminals ?

He is a CEO of a dating App , yet he is unethical? ( this one I could let it aside since it involved a woman , and of course a woman could make a man go out of his way for her. )

The Age is just a number in this book :
- MMC is 35 yet his actions looked like a reckless 23 years old man ( with all due respect to mature 23 years old man )
FMC is 25 yes she sound like 19 years old .

The labels which didnt fit at some scenes :
MMC said he didnt kill anyone , yet in his three crimes , the police didnt trace ? like he was perfect in executing the murders ?


Unfitting / forced and unsmooth reactions/ actions :

When FMC finds out about MMC being the one sending the gifts , she was not terrified . ( I guess the author wanted to show how this says about FMC characteristic - but more explanation might have make it justifiable . Also , when she received the gift , she just kept them !? ( I knew it, it was all because of her dad telling horror stories when she was in mama's womb. )


I know the book is all about smut , but , really ?

There was a scene were the FMC tries to get her gun while the MMC caged her and out of nowhere he pull her leggings down and started having her down there ? how? I imagined her running towards the weapon and her legs were busy taking her to the said weapon and booom !! he is down there proving to the readers that the book is , indeed , about smut.

another scene where they finished inflicting their punishment towards the Rapist and then they got turned on that they forgot about the body and wanted to have it there way beside the body . ( I guesss the author wanted to tell us they officially lost it. )


I go lost in the foreplay :

At some point , I wasnt sure where the reality stopped and foreplay started :
They were talking , and then baaam !! they were talking about being raped ( him rapeing her and her being submissive to it. )


Cringe and other things :

The Dog MOJO ( our compass to identify good or bad people ) :
When MMC attached her in the night and she was scared then looked at her dog ( which the dog did nothing but looked at them ) she calmed down , reasoning that the stranger ( MMC) is not dangerous since her dog didnt Woof . ( please note that the FMC was caged by a stranger AKA MMC in the dark and any sane person would try to fight back and see that this is danger ( with the dog's woof or without ) . But no , no , no , this book wants to show us to trust our doggie. if the stranger was cupping our mouth and our doggie didnt woof , it means that we are safe . ( Glad to know really. )

The gun scene. what was that ? and what's with the MMC putting his mouth around the tip of the gun and then his eyes roll back ( the later was sexy - I admit )

Naming the weapon names ( Jigsaw ) . Every time FMC calls the gun Jigsaw , I cringed and looked around checking if anyone is witnessing my embarrassment. It was weird and not in the good way .

the black nail polish :
MMC nails are painted black . Let's go back with the age again , He is a 35 years old CEO and had his nails painted ? Dont get me wrong, they can do whatever they want to , paint it pink for all I care . I just dont see it fitting the image of MMC . ( it seemed forced as if the author was thinking ' how can I make MMC more weird and different from all the other MMCs .. Oh , I know , let's get his nails painted .'

The punishing chapters :
both MMC and FMC reminded me of Chuky and his girl . Both were psychos and unhinged and seemed to have lost what's left from their brain cells.
I have a lot to talk about this chapters but no words to describe. But let's say , The rapist deserved what's got to him .
I just dont the scene reasonable or realistic . ( when I say realistic, I mean realistic in the book kind of way.)

Also , some lines and conversations where just random and out of the blue. ( I should have screenshot them and put them below so you get what I mean , but for now , you have to trust me in this one.

I havent covered all of the points but I thing those are enough points to explain the 1 star .

An ARC was provided to me by the author for an honest and voluntary review. All of my reviews contain my honest opinions and are not affiliated with the viewpoint of the author or any other parties related to it. Please note that this review may contain spoilers. So reader discretion is advised. As always, be aware of your own personal triggers.

Moth to a Flame is another smash hit by the esteemed Eva Marks! With twists and turns galore, you’ll find yourself glued to the pages of Landon and Regan’s unconventional romance. Be prepared for a love unlike any other before.

Imagine this, you make a dating profile that caters to your darkest desires. You log in, day after day to find your match.. but you get little to no response from its other members. You find out later that the reason you can’t make any matches is because the owner has hidden you away from the view of other users so that he could take you for himself. This is the story that Eva Marks weaves. Regan wants to heal from the horrors of her past and Landon wants to avoid repeating his mother’s bloody legacy. The two get into a fast paced and intense relationship that has left them both feeling intoxicated in each other’s presence. But demons of the past always have a way to enter your future and throw everything you have into jeopardy. It all comes down to life and death.

This review took me longer than usual to write, because of how affected I was by it. I feel like a crucial change in my soul was made the minute I picked up this novel… and I couldn’t find the words to express how much I truly loved this book. So bear with me here.

Landon and Regan are perfect for each other. They are harmonious together and they have a certain flare to them that is just addictive. They are so unique and they just balance each other out so beautifully. Them, mixed with the secondary characters are all amazing. Each person holds a significance to the story and their presence just enhances the story.

I have to say though, that my absolute favorite part of this book is Regan’s metamorphosis into a confident and strong woman. She took her tragedy and used it as a pillar of strength. She reclaimed her sexuality and sensuality with Landon. She is a beautiful character that I heavily associate with. As a fellow Survivor, I understand what is required to build your life back up and how it isn’t overnight. I love how Marks didn’t rush this transformation and she didn’t minimize Regan’s pain.

This is normally the spot where I say something witty, but once again I am at a loss for words. All I can say is, this book is not one you want to miss. The entire book was written flawlessly and it’s a book I’m never going to forget.

Make sure to check out Eva Marks’ other books if you haven’t already! They’re always a good choice and a guaranteed incredible read!

I was genuinely disappointed when I turned the last page of this story because I had become completely absorbed in the richly developed characters. The dynamic between the couple was electrifying; they complemented each other perfectly, and their chemistry crackled like fire. Their relationship was filled with steamy moments and unexpected twists that kept me on the edge of my seat.

The revenge plot woven throughout the narrative added an extra layer of thrill, combining clever strategies with intense confrontations that left me breathless. The shadows of their past traumas were heavy and haunting, yet the way they navigated their pain together was both impressive and intense. It showcased their strength and vulnerability, illustrating how love can help heal even the deepest wounds.

This book was dark and edgy (please check for trigger warnings), and it completely drew me in. Now, I find myself wanting a Viking with black fingernails! Every chapter felt like an exhilarating ride that I never wanted to end!

Regan and Landon have sizzling chemistry. I loved that he was so willing to help her through her trauma and pushed her to heal and face her demons. Landon was also worried about what happened in his past with his parents. He worried about the darkness coming out.

I couldn't put their story down. Needed to know how everything was going to turn out. Was not disappointed! Eva does a great job at sucking you into her stories and making you love her characters!

Well in classic Eva Marks fashion this book was dark romance with a lot of dark topics, and an FMC who is definitely a LITTLE unhinged for the morally grey MMC.

Regan & Landon - slow burn, WHO?! 🤭 you want a fast burn-the world down for you- romance with dark pasts and unique gore? This is the book for you.

I definitely would advise checking the TW/CW list because there is the heavy topic of SA. In a way this is the powerful story of her vengeance her reclaiming her power and trusting Landon to be her hero by letting her seek her revenge.

Holt crap this was spicy!! This was INTENSE! I love it!! I related to Regan so much! At first I didnt like Landon, but then halfway through I started liking him. He might have been obsessed with Regan, but he took care of her and protected her. Now Lester?! I hate him! He is horrible!

I liked it! It was written so good! Eva NEVER disappoints!

This was super dark and has a lot of spice, so read the triggers first!

Moth to a Flame
By Eva Marks

This book was received as an advanced reader copy however all thoughts and opinions expressed in this review are my own.

Please check your triggers before checking out this book

This story was everything I wanted in a dark and twisty stalker romance that would easily hold its own against the likes of some of your Barnes and Noble reads. Landon takes touch her and cease to exist to the next level with a little souvenir wrapped up with a pretty bow. We love a man who will avenge his woman. The we have our FMC who has taken her trauma into her own hands and is coming out on the other end a complete baddie regardless of how many pieces of herself she has to leave behind. These characters were richly developed and completely unhinged. I couldn’t get enough and inhaled this book with a ravenous appetite. Our author did phenomenal work in formulating a perfect horror story while nodding respectfully to the classics. 5⭐️5🌶️

This book had been sitting on my Kindle for far too long, and I’m honestly disappointed I didn’t read it sooner. It was that good.

Regan, our fierce and resilient FMC, and Landon, our intense and brooding MMC, have both endured deep wounds in their pasts. While they’ve taken different paths toward healing, fate (and a kink-matching site) brings them together. Regan is determined to reclaim her life and pleasure on her own terms, which leads her to the site. She is unaware that its enigmatic owner, Landon, is watching.

When Landon stumbles across Regan’s profile, "obsession" doesn’t even begin to cover what he feels. Anyone who dares to glance at her page quickly regrets it, sometimes losing more than just a look. Landon turns these moments into twisted, thoughtful gifts for Regan, and surprisingly, she adores them. She treasures them as if they were rare tokens of devotion.

Landon might be a little unhinged, but that edge is exactly what helps Regan begin to heal. Their connection is fast, fiery, and utterly captivating.

Landon is not a man to cross. When Regan’s past resurfaces, threatening her hard-won peace, he is ready to burn the world down to protect her. Their love may be unconventional, even dark at times, but it is exactly what they both needed. I absolutely loved Landon. He was possessive, intense, and deeply devoted. He was perfect for Regan in every way, and in loving her, he finds his own healing too.

Had high hopes for this. So many of the tropes appealed to me, but the writing style did not pull me in and the story just started grinding on my nerves.
