Call Me Mrs. Taylor: An Obsessive Dark Romance
Raya
I'm a woman who knows exactly what I want. But sometimes in the pursuit of what I want, I do things to hurt people. To me, it's worth it. Ace Taylor is worth it. Every lie. Every manipulation. Every scheme. What he doesn't know won't hurt him.
But anyone who comes between us? That's another story.
Ace
She's everything I could ever want. Smart, beautiful, accomplished, confident.
But something's off. I can't put my finger on it, but there's something lurking beneath that perfect exterior. Everyone's warning me. My gut is screaming at me to wake up. But I'm hooked. I can't let her go.
And the closer I get to her, and the more secrets I unravel, the more I realize...
This woman might be the death of me.

Raya was a very deranged female character; she was manipulative, essentially a female Joe from the television series "You," and she felt that her actions were justified. I believe that because of her trauma, she was just a damaged girl who wanted control over her life because of the cards she was dealt. Raya gets what she wants, and she has her sights set on Ace, and when I tell you that she was planning to get him through sex, manipulation, stalking, gaslighting, and murdering if it meant getting him.
Ace appeared to be the normal buttoned-up engineer on the outside, but inside he was a toxic, chaotic, superman-complex individual. In other words, Ace said that he needed excitement, and Raya kept him alive. I mean, Ace understood Raya's true self and was aware of the potential risks associated with being with her, yet he was prepared to go through with it in the name of love. And you know what? Hell yea, lol. I think it was refreshing seeing a man love a woman through all her craziness. I still think him wanting to "save her" and be her "safe place" made him stupid.
So I usually read dark romances, and this was one by definition. I'm not sure whether I simply read fucked-up or morally grey characters, but Raya was quite tamed on the scale of "dark romance." Seeing Black individuals in this light was interesting, and I liked what the author sought to do—it was a new type of traditional love. But for some reason I think something was missing and I wanted more

Raya is a woman who knows what she wants and what or, should I say who, she wants is Mr. Ace Taylor. All it takes is for her to see a picture of him on his sister’s IG and my girl is down bad and already mappin’ out her future. The plan to become Mrs. Taylor is put into action. Wherever Ace is, Raya’s gon’ be there. His favorite lunch spot? Raya’s sittin’ at the table across from him. The farmer’s market in his neighborhood? Raya’s standin’ a few feet away buyin’ candles she doesn’t need. His job? Raya’s sittin’ in her car waitin’ for him to get off. Ace is blissfully unaware he’s become the object of Raya’s affections but, he would soon find out.
These were some very complex characters. Raya experienced some trauma in her childhood that molded her into the woman she’s become. Ace has mommy issues and, no matter how accomplished he is, he’s a 32-year-old man still lookin’ for her approval. When these two get together, they bring out the best and the worst in each other. Ace very quickly learns there are some lines he’s willing to cross in the name of love. He may not want to and may not even understand it, but he loves Raya’s crazy azz and he absolutely does not play about her. Call Me Mrs. Taylor was a phenomenal read and I cannot wait for book two to drop.

Raya is definitely giving "Hello, you" vibes a la Joe Goldberg. I've read several of Shae's books and I always enjoy them but I am blown away with this one because I can only imagine the depths it took to get into Raya's psyche. She is callous, manipulative, vindictive, unhinged and still I rooted for her IDC IDC this is fiction and she has been WRONGED so much by so many people, especially the ones who were supposed to care for her that I didn't mind the lines she crossed and baby? She crossed and double crossed them all.
Ace. He was interesting to me. On one side he's all put together, buttoned up, a scholar...engineer, top in his field but beneath it all he was just as unbalanced, he got off on Raya's shenanigans and dare I say thrived because of them? And while he may have to sleep with one eye open for the rest of his life that's the path he chose, right? And him and Raya's aunt in cahoots at the end, I didn't miss that part 👀
I read Call Me Mrs. Taylor in one day, the way Shae weaved the psychological with the drama, spice and unrelenting flaws of all the characters kept me turning page after page! Highly enjoyed!

Everyone in this book needs to sit on that lady’s couch…. IMMEDIATELY!
Raya- crazy
Ace- crazy
Raymond- disgusting
Tori-… I’m sorry to say it, also crazy
Kamryn- judgmental and mean
Ace’s mom- dusty
Ace’s dad- raggedy
Me… also crazy for enjoying this crazy ass book 😭😭

Bookclub selection! I’ve never read a Dark Romance. Not really my Jam. However, the writing was excellent. Characters- Ace & Raya are very different from my normal flawed individuals. Crazy matching 😜. Both were missing affection and attention which they provided for one another. An entertaining read.
July 4, 2025
This is probably the craziest book I’ve ever read. Raya was certifiably insane in the brain, and she definitely met her perfect match in Ace. I’m gonna need a part 2 please and thank you because excuse me WHAT!!!!

The inner dialogue should be studied.
Let me just tell you… Raya and Ace took me THROUGH it.
When a book says dark obsessive romance, this one really means it. Raya is absolutely, certifiably, academically‑study‑worthy crazy — and I mean that in the most page‑turning, “I cannot look away from this accident in progress” way possible. Her unhinged behavior? Art. Chaos. A masterclass. I was glued to the page like my life depended on it.
And the wildest part?
She still lands Ace… and then drags him right into her madness like it’s a group project. The way he just accepts it? Delicious. Disturbing. Addictive.
This book is FUN — but fun in the “wow… wow… let me go check some trigger warnings real quick” way. It’s messy, it’s intense, it’s unhinged, and it is absolutely a ride. A good ride. A ride I would take again even though I know better.
If you love dark, obsessive, morally questionable chaos with a heroine who makes you look at her sideways every other chapter, this one will feed you.

3.75⭐️
Miss Unhinged Delulu meets Mr Low Key crazy making them the perfect match for each other in the most weird toxic obsessive deranged kinda of way. These folks were made for each other bc ain’t no way, ain’t no way my boy.
Slow start for me. Took a minute for me to really get into it. I had so many questions early on but wasn’t expecting the answers I got 🤔🤔
Anyways Ms Shae Sanders will always have a reader in me ❤️

A page turner from the very first page! This book won’t be everybody’s cup of tea. But if you like a crazy unhinged woman and a man who wants to do nothing but love you and bypasses your craziness then this is a book you need to read! lol
Raya is my kind of girl 🤭 & Ace was just the man for her.
Very glad book 2 “Mr. and Mrs. Taylor” is on the way! Can’t wait to read it.

ARC review. Please read content warnings!
If you write me a FMC that I love from the jump there is no way I’m giving you less than 5 starts. If you write me a FMC who is a legitimate psychopath, funny cause she cuckoo for coco puffs, and a MMC who falls for her because she is obsessed with him and deep down his fine self just wants to be loved then baby 10/10 no notes! This is the version of A Thin Line Between Love and Hate we deserved. It is dark, a little depraved, hints at some issues that may be trigger, and an absolute page turner. Because you have to know what Raya might do next. How is Ace going to respond? And can a love this unhinged be the real deal? I love the risk Sanders took writing this character. I love when Black characters get to be multifaceted, morally grey, messy, and not bound to the limits we tend to set for them. I loved the depth and complexity of the characters feelings for each other especially Ace’s. And the way Sanders navigated the harsh hurtful reality that for most women the great threat to us, are men and that isn’t limited to strangers. This is a well written and engaging read and I will be spending way more time in Sandersland for a while

Foolishness
From just a few pages in I could tell that I wasn’t going to enjoy this book and I wanted to DNF it, but I also wanted to see it through. I’ve seen it on Booktok and one of my book blogs and that’s why I decided to give it a try.
I’m not sure if this was really a “dark romance”, obsessive and weird absolutely. There was no real chemistry between Ace and Raya…we didn’t see the relationship develop, it was just a bunch of sex everytime there was something serious to discuss and then all of a sudden Ace was also in love too. For the entire book Ace led with his little head and was just a straight up fool. I felt like the book was also too long and kind of dragged out. I was sooo happy when I got to the end.

Raya and Ace both got issues and they deserve each other

“𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐞𝐢𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐦𝐞 𝐟𝐨𝐫𝐞𝐯𝐞𝐫, 𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭. 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐢𝐟 𝐲𝐨𝐮 𝐝𝐨𝐧’𝐭, 𝐈 𝐧𝐞𝐞𝐝 𝐭𝐨 𝐤𝐧𝐨𝐰 𝐬𝐨𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐫 𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧 𝐥𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐫 𝐬𝐨 𝐈 𝐜𝐚𝐧 𝐫𝐮𝐢𝐧 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐥𝐢𝐟𝐞 𝐚𝐜𝐜𝐨𝐫𝐝𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐲.” 🤯
Bell Biv DeVoe said a long time ago “never trust a big butt and smile”! Raya is poison but Ace failed to heed the warning.
Ok but on to the story… this is an obsessive romance and yes, Raya was obsessed with Ace for years before she decided to sink her claws into him, and that she did 😉
Raya was a bit touched, not to be played with and was dangerously in love with Ace and those feelings only accelerated after their first interactions. It was on and popping and Ace didn’t know what hit him🤦🏾♀️
I was highly entertained from start to finish. Seeing how aace succumbed to Raya’s feminine wiles was delicious! I laughed so much at things I probably shouldn’t have, but this was crazzzyyy! I live for deranged characters like Raya with unconventional romances (tho it was more sex than romance)
This is a perfect example of a woman who understands the power of the 🙀 being able to manipulate a man led by his penis. Lust drives people to overlook the blatantly clear and flashing red flags, confusing great sex for love. The sex was so good they couldn’t shake each other no matter how torturous they were together.
I can’t stop thinking about these hotter than Htx in August, insanely, out the box, no crumbs left Sex scenes!!!! The BEST! The way they slutted each other out?! DY-NO-MITEEE!!! ♾️⭐️!! 🔥🔥🔥
When I saw this author also wrote Take It, I was like, oohhh yessss… sis is a BEAST 🫣
I wasn’t too happy about some things that Raya started doing when things were working out well to throw everything off. Why then? It seemed a bit out of order. Raya was crazy but I wanted to see her get a little more savage, earlier on.
Overall, I loved this crazy book!! Keeping it on my nightstand!! Raya is my new alter ego!!

OMG
this book had me cringing, disturbed, scared, laughing, and oddly rooting for this insane FMC the whole time. she is running around undiagnosed and unmedicated and honestly, the level of petty she is on, i know i am not hating nearly as hard as i can be.
this story kept me on the edge of my seat the whole time! i couldn’t go to sleep until i finished. i can’t wait for the next book!!

TRIGGER WARNING:
PROFANITY, EXPLICIT SEX, GASLIGHTING, MANIPULATION, NONCON, STALKING, OBSESSION, SUICIDAL IDEATION, BREATH PLAY, MENTION OF OFFPAGE CHILD SEXUAL ASSAULT, MENTION OF OFFPAGE MISCARRIAGE, MURDER
Review:
Ngl I thought about DNFing and coming back at a later time but things started to pick up and I got interested. I’m glad I decided to continue cause babyyyy I had a time reading this.
Raya was unhinged but that was a BAD
B!TC#‼️
What Ronnie said? “Sometimes you gotta use what you got to get what you want”. She unapologetically DID that.
Listen argue with ya mammie but I loved me some Raya. She had everybody panties in a bunch and ain’t gaf how you felt about it. There was a reason behind her shenanigans.
Ace was wrapped around her fingers & honestly he’s just as unhinged in my opinion lol. He loved that she kept him on his toes. He was the definition of “Imma stick beside her”.
I really enjoyed this. It had the right amount of suspense, some humor and some spice 🌶️🌶️🌶️. This was good 👏🏾.

That's THAT'S what you call a get back!
Whew!!!! I don't know, Shae, but I think you might really be on to something. This story read like a movie! I loved every second of it. I was rooting for Raya every step of the way. I feel like she was a perfect fit for Ace because, honestly, read it for yourself.
I enjoyed reading an obsessive, unhinged female main character. It was different from what I've become accustomed to, and now I want more.

That lady crazy af I was over her she needs therapy and Jesus
December 18, 2025
In conclusion, they both need to sit on someone’s couch. I loved the fact that the FMC was the unhinged & obsessive character, which is not what we typically see. Ace is happy where’s he’s at and does not want/need to be saved.
January 17, 2026
I’m honestly on the fence about this book. I don’t really like dark romances. So this was something different. Especially when the woman is the one that’s bringing the dark/stalkery side. It was interesting but idk if it’s for me Lol.
February 22, 2026
Maaaaaan Raya is crazzzzyyyyy and toxiccc and Ace eventually love that shit 🤣🤣🤣 this book was good had me up all night smh. I mean the ending was expected but i wish it was different with a twist something to get me hype for the second book.

3.875⭐️.. one thing about Shae… she is going to leave you feeling a different type of way about a character at the end of the book vs. when you started. I am honestly STILL so speechless. Will I be picking up book 2? Absolutely. Award for most UNHINGED DELUSIONAL COUPLE EVA.
December 8, 2025
I don’t care how fine she is, if she crazy leave her alone. Oh Raya! Talk about unhinged! Raya and Ace were meant for each other because he wasn’t all the way there either. I could not put this book down ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Read
February 15, 20264 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ stars!! The story follows Raya, who is the kind of woman who knows exactly what she wants, and right now, that’s Ace. She’s totally convinced he’s the man of her dreams, even if he doesn’t know it yet. And she’s not about to sit back and wait for him to notice her, she’s ready to do whatever it takes to become Mrs. Taylor.
Now, Raya’s definitely a bit wild, but as you dive into her backstory, you get why she acts the way she does. You might not agree with her methods, but you can’t help but understand where she’s coming from. Ace, on the other hand, is head over heels for her, even though there are moments when you kind of wonder if he’s seeing the full picture, or if he’s just blinded by love, or maybe lust.
This whole book gave me major “A Thin Line Between Love and Hate” vibes, lots of drama, spice, and some seriously unhinged moments. If you’re into dark romance, chaotic characters, and a story that’s anything but predictable, then you’ll definitely want to pick this one up!

I’m all too familiar with the unhinged MMCs but an unhinged FMC?? Sign me up
Raya did a lot of stalking, sneaking, and lying when in reality all she had to do was be herself and be honest about her past. Ace had a hero complex so she could’ve won him over faster if she had just started with that but I can’t lie; a lot of her tactics seemed to work.
I don’t know if she was the crazy one for doing and saying everything she did or if Ace was the crazy one for loving, believing, and adapting to it.

Where do I start? Ace got the right one on the wrong day or the wrong one on the right day lol. However the saying goes. Raya is a Man hater. Every man in her life meant to protect her, abused her or let her down in some way. So now she has this vendetta against men and plays them like the string on a guitar. All except for one, ACE TAYLOR, her imaginary husband. She loves ACE and everything about him. Even before he knows it. Raya manifests every detail of her life with Ace and little does he know, he is a pawn in her game. Raya gets what she wants and will lie, steal, kill to ALWAYS get her way.
What I liked most about this book was Raya’s confidence when it comes to dating. All most reminds me of a younger me in my twenties lol. When you know what/who you want, you go after it by any means necessary.
What I didn’t like about this book is that it became predictable in some scenes. Rayas antics and complacency became over done. I found myself rolling my eyes at her behaviors. Reminding myself that this is a work of fiction, I kept with it. I think some of her actions should’ve been cut out and more action/authority from ACE. He started to feel like he was this smart man, putting two and two together about Raya but ultimately did little. I guess thinking with his “other” head.
However, this book is well written. It’s appropriately categorized and had a lot of suspense and twists. Will continue the series.

However, this book is well written. It’s appropriately categorized and had a lot of suspense and twists. Will continue the series.
