Fetch

by M. Violet

Every Jack must have his Jill.

Roxy

Life hasn’t been easy for me. But in the game, I can do anything I want. I can be anyone.
Playing online with ComeFindJack11 is my escape. His voice makes me do devious things. It becomes even more depraved when I accept his private chat invite. But if I don’t resist his twisted obsession, he’ll soon have full control over me.

Punk

JillChick22 doesn’t know it yet, but she’s mine. From the moment I heard her voice, I had her wrapped around my finger. Every night, I break her down a little more, pushing her boundaries. Soon, she’ll be on her knees, eating out of the palm of my hand. She thinks she’s safe, but I know her real name. I know where she lives. Roxy will never get away from me now.

FETCH is an MF, dark stalker romance set in the world of online gaming and loosely inspired by the nursery rhyme “Jack and Jill”. It is a standalone novella with an HEA.

No fue para mi esta lectura 😭

Su obsesión con ella, cómo comienza, cómo progresa, es simplemente rara. No hay una conexión o razón real, y una vez que empiezan a chatear en línea, tampoco progresa su conexión. Roxy simplemente acepta todo de inmediato, raro 🤔

[Ash (so there’s this book) · Rating 3 out of 5]

Genre: Dark Romance
Spice: 2.5/5🌶️
*spice ratings are relative to similar books in the same genre*

The Catalog: F/M, dark Jack and Jill vibes, gamer girl, stalking, morally black MCs

Kink: bondage, masked partner, CNC

TWs: CNC, murder, gore, adult grooming

Thoughts:
This is definitely dark, so please check TWs and read with care!

All in all, it started off really good and I was super into the concept and the characters. Unfortunately, things started to become less enjoyable when the smut hit, mostly because of the really awkward, cheesy, and cringe dialogue.

I think the “twist” at the end wasn’t very effective, and could have used some more build up or explanation.

▹My ⭐ Rating: ★☆☆☆☆ (1/5)
▹Format: 📱 eReader
▹TL;DR Review: I go back and forth with dark romance, so if you like DARK stories with DARK morals, you might like this (but hate my review). If you don’t like DARK stories…skip this novella.

─────────────────────────

○★○ What to Expect from This Book: ○★○

– FMC: Roxy/Jill. Gamer chick who apparently is a magnet for s3xu@l abusers and doesn’t know how to set boundaries or stick with them
– MMC: Punk/Jack. Crashed out pro-skater with a serious god complex and an unhealthy view of romance. Likes to wear masks and will murder anyone that even LOOKS at his obsession (literally)
– POV: Dual first-person
– Spice: SO many open-door spicy scenes (like, probably 50% of this story)
– Tropes: hidden identity, “look at her and die” (literally), strangers to lovers, online gamers, stalker, he’s a millionaire, mask play, toy play
– Triggers: sexual assault, debatable sexual consent, murder (in detail), stalking, life-changing skating injury (off page), degradation, humiliation, MMC with a god complex, “if you leave me, I’ll kill you”, aggressive dominance, manipulation
– Representation: online gamers, recovering drug addict

🎯 My Thoughts:

If you love dark romance (like the DARKEST of dark) then you will hate my review. Please know that I understand that my tastes won’t always align with everyone else, so this is just my take on it and I won’t judge anyone else who disagrees with my take. We all like different things and that’s perfectly OK.

THERE WILL ALSO BE SPOILERS BELOW

I genuinely don’t remember how this ended up on my TBR. I just was in the mood for a novella and thought “I’ll give this one a go” and then I couldn’t bring myself to DNF since it’s so short and I love completing things.

This is not dark romance. Let’s call a spade a spade here—this is inky dark erotica. Aggressively dark. I walk a fine line with darker romance stories. Sometimes I love them (Butcher and Blackbird, Lights Out), but this is one where I question everything I know about romance.

The FMC gets sexually assaulted in the prologue and refuses to report it. Which, I understand in real life how AWFUL this must be and am not pointing fingers at anyone who’s gone through this. I can’t fathom it. BUT FOR THIS BOOK: she continues to let men treat her this way and THEN goes on to fall for a man who doesn’t 👏 take 👏 NO 👏 for 👏 an 👏 answer. Like, when she does tell him no, he physically restrains her and still takes what he wants from her, but it’s ok because he’s “hot” and turns out to be famous. And it’s also apparently OK because the MMC keeps killing the men that do this to her (which is the premise of a lot of dark romance stories, so I get it, but this one took it past that limit for me).

This novella has all the other typical dark romance tropes. He stalks her (hardcore) and then tracks her down to play online games with her. There’s several kinks involved. She refuses him several times and then he tracks her down on his bike with his mask on and forces himself on her in a club, but won’t show her his face. She fights him, but he won’t take no for an answer and “blackmails” her with secret recordings. AND THEN. When he finally shows her his face and she’s like “well, I guess he’s my boyfriend now,” she falls asleep and he physically removes her from her house and hires movers to move all of her things to his house and when she wakes up she just accepts that she lives with him now. After just meeting him. And then he tells her “Those who exist outside these walls are nothing but pathetic sheep. They don’t deserve to be in your presence.” And he’s referring to all of her friends. So, basically he’s isolating her and manipulating her to only spend time with him.

And those are the reasons I rated this 1 star.

I've previously read M Violet's Melancholia world books and absolutely love them. She has most recently written this dark stalker romance with a gamer theme. Video games will never be the same again.

If you love masked men and video games you will love this dark, stalker novella with a Jack and Jill vibe.

Jilly (Roxy) is proof that a good 'O' can make you lose your mind. Who doesn't love the 'touch her and die' trope!?! They don't even really need to touch her though tbh. He's extra possessive.

Short and sweet at only 122, the spice is packed in tight.

I received an arc of this book from the author.

Review:
Dark Stalker Romance
The Spice is Spicing
Epic best friend lines
K!ller Couple 🖤

For me, the darker the better, and M Violet knows just how to hit the spot with dark romance!
Funny quips, twists, 🥵 spice, a sexy couple, and all in a GEEKY GAMER BOOK - one way ticket to my heart right there!

Roxy/Jill - I don’t always like the FMC in books, but I found absolutely nothing to moan about on Roxy/Jill, easy to read and get into her story + I loved her personality.
Punk/Jack - *gets on my knees* Roxy your one lucky gal! 🥵🥵
Juniper - I freaking loved her! Straight to the point, no f*’s given type of best friend 🖤

Do I recommend FETCH?
YEAH!
It’s a super quick read (125pages) and you’re not left bored anywhere.

Will I continue to worship M Violets books:
HELL YEAH!
I thoroughly enjoy her work, and I always come away begging for me (good opinion not bad)
If you’ve not read anything by the Author, get out from under that rock and open up one her books! I promise you’ll love them!!

I have received an ARC in return for an honest review.

It was good, it's a quick 125 page masked stalker dark romance. It definitely left me wanting more 🖤

I'm rating it a four because there was too much "I am your God, and you are my disciple,", for me personally, but I'm 100% not about to yuck someone's yum.

Jack aka Punk: obsessed with Roxy, tall ex-skater boi who drives a motorcycle, little psychotic but call me a dog because I'm barking at him. Also a gamer who's really good, like 1,000's of levels above everyone else.

Jill aka Roxy: ex-dancer, drinks too much wine (same girl same), gamer who is Jack's obsession.

Juniper: is my girllll we would be best friends.

[Kaylea · Rating 5 out of 5]

Why did this have to be a novella?!?!?!?! So many things!
first - we all need a best friend like hers! What red flags?! They probably deserved it.
Second - they are just perfect for each other!!! ugh so cutteeee
Third - I NEED MORE
This book was so cute and good and creepy and romantic and stalkery and hot and spicy and funny and cute and dark!
It has a little bit of everything and at the end of it you're like ya they're made for each other, but like where is the next page/chapter/book

[Lynnette Price · Rating 4 out of 5]

Dark stalker novella. Who knew the online gaming chats could be so steamy. The mask, the voice and the kinks she didn’t know she had. 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

[Emily Doll · Rating 1 out of 5]

My first thought once finishing this book was.. "I'm so glad this wasn't more than a little over 100 pages." and that makes me feel bad because this is someone's art and story, but for me, this book was a heavy miss. It was just too obvious and rushed and all over the place. It felt like someone who just discovered dark romance books decided they wanted to write one themselves and they tried to make sure they got in all the obvious almost satirical ideas of what these tropes tend to lay out within their plots. It made taking the story serious impossible. There was a lot of cringy dialog as well that, when paired with how rushed and fast everything developed, it just came across weird. There is a fine in the obsessive stalker type that can merge into cringy clinger, and for me, Punk was not an addictive book boyfriend I will miss. We went from 0 to 100 with out behaviors and no real rhyme or reason that made since or had any depth other than because he wanted her, but the actions that followed were to a limit that didn't really make any sense.

The idea of picking up a hot masked stalker through a gaming server could have been great. There was a lot of potential here. But the plot quickly starts adding in situations where our Gamer stalker now is taking out people in our FMCs honor but again for no real reason, other than the first guy, and even that was set up oddly. It was just a really weird unnecessary add in my opinion. There was no real need for that element. it didn't progress anywhere, and It seemed like a pointless add alongside our MMCs character identity. His obsession with her, how it starts, how it progresses, is just odd. There is no real connection or reason, and once they start chatting online, there is no build-up in their connection there either. Roxy just agrees to everything right away, lol. It's just messy. Again it feels like someone was trying to cram in every idea of dark romance tropes with no real plot or connection other than enough to keep it going but nothing had a real flow or point and never really reached a real climax. There was plot holes, and weird filler scenes, and then this wild ending that was so disconnected and extreme out of nowhere that it felt like a last minute idea for a close scene that didn't really hold any impact. Much like our spicy scenes.

Punk could have been a faceless online Dom daddy, but there is no comfort in his behaviors towards Roxy. His actions and behaviors make me want to close my legs more than not, lol. Even with how hot the controller scene was, it all just fell really flat for me. There were too many things that distracted me that fell short, foe me to fall into the story that barely happened.

This just wasn't it for me. At all. IM SORRY!

NGL I need me a Punk Wilder 🥵 Roxy’s not bad either…so maybe a throuple 😉

He’s a skateboarder whose life reached the heights only to plummet to the ground. Roxy is a gamer but her past is dark. Together their story begins and ends with them finding each other her submitting to his dominance, his obsession or is it hers?

This quick novella is hot, spicy, D/s with the addition of a bit of deleting some justified others just plain jealousy kicking in. Loved it, it had everything you need for a smutty novella 🖤

Really crazy plot line and even crazier main character dynamic lol

[gena_bookish_reviews · Rating 4 out of 5]

If you’re in the mood for something short, smutty, and unhinged in the best possible way, then THIS BOOK IS FOR YOU.

This story is about Roxy and Punk, two gamers who connect through their love of video games and soon take their late-night chats to a whole new level. We’re talking spicy AF sessions over PC, where Punk tells her exactly how to play with herself while they’re on call... yeah, that kind of shit.. And it’s hot. 🫠

But what really mindfucked me is Punk. He's not your typical book boyfriend. He’s obsessive, intense, and honestly? A little crazy. He stalks Roxy, shows up at her job, lurks around her hangouts, and when she tries to ignore him? He BREAKS INTO HER BEDROOM while she’s sleeping because he’s pissed off and wants her attention. Like the way I screamed.. 😌

The tension is addictive, and their chemistry? Explosive.

Their relationship is a bit twisted but SO HOT. There’s no soft romance here.. just raw need, control, and a WHOLE LOT OF DIRTY TALK. Okay some lines definitely made me cringe (looking at you, “Drink the nectar from your god” and “I’m going to baptize you with my tongue”) but honestly? It kind of added to the unhinged charm of the whole thing. 🫣

Like when they finally meet in person is such a chef’s kiss moment. He’s been watching her, waiting for his moment, and when he finally makes his move.. IT'S GAME OVER FOR BOTH OF THEM.

This book won’t be for everyone. It’s dark, a little crazy, and unapologetically smutty. But if you’re into obsessive alpha energy, possessive stalkers, and gamer girl spice, then you're gonna love Fetch!

4/5 ★ for the spice, the chaos, and the sheer audacity of it all. 🙂‍↔️

[Book Obsessed Goddess · Rating 5 out of 5]

M Violet is back with an amazing novella!! Everything about this book was right up my alley. Videogames, morally grey obsessed men, and spicy? Absolutely yes please. So happy I got to read this ARC!

Roxy
So many ways to describe Roxy. She is a strong willed take no BS female gamer who has been through way too much. Had a terrible injury that cost her, her scholarship and turned to videogames. (This part was so accurate especially when you are in a competitive sport you need something to channel that feeling and videogames do it best). When she meets her Jack to her Jill everything she thought she knew changes.

Punk
Punk is a famous skateboarder and videogame designer. When he fell from the hill and broke his crown (nursery rhyme) he had to find something new. And when his Jill walked into his life nothing else mattered. He'd stop at nothing to get her and to protect her. Obsessed, possessive doesn't even come close to describing him. I seriously love him. I need my Punk to find me on my Playstation. But in all seriousness I loved that he never tried to change her. He allowed her to be who she was and didn't lock her away in a tower.

The touch her and 🗡 vibes were everything 😍😍 I seriously loved every second of this book and i cannot wait to see what she does with it next. I absolutely need my Jack to find me. Maybe I should stop muting public lobbies the second I get into them 🤣 This stories pulls you in instantly and wrapped around his finger. I'll drop to my knees and pray to my god. I absolutely devoured it and loved the fast paced instantly steamy story. My only complaint is I finished it haha. I want to say more but I don't want to spoil anything more haha.

If you are looking for a quick, hot as fk read then go get this one now!

"It’s like discovering a new drug for the first time."

Fun fact after my career ending injury in soccer i turned to videogames more to get out my competitiveness and they helped me mentally recover especially with the friends I made 🧡 "After his injury, he spiraled. I can definitely relate to that."

"Ever since my injury, I haven’t felt like myself."

[Angie · Rating 5 out of 5]

This will check all the boxes for all us girlies who love an obsessive, uber possessive, dirty talking tatted Dom biker. How can you not love a man who can get you off with his voice alone?

Punk does not understand boundaries when it comes to Roxy. She’s his. No touchy. I loved how he pushed her buttons and helped her step out of her comfort zone. He just bulldozed himself right into her life.
You could do so many “we listen and we don’t judge” with Punks actions.

Roxy is just living day to day. Gaming at night with her crew. She got out of a crappy relationship that she so much without. But, some insecurities linger. She has been let down by the person who should have been there for her, now she doesn’t want to put in that kind of effort again.

Juniper is the best ride or die friend. Every woman needs a Juniper.

[Kylie Taylor · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow, this is only the third gaming-type romance I’ve read, a first by this author. I have gotten to the point where I am willing to read the phonebook if M. Violet writes one. Every single thing she releases is always a one-sitting binge.
M. Violet excels at crafting stories that captivate the reader. Fetch has an engaging and heart-pounding plot, and all the delicious and f!lthy sp!ce you can expect when picking up one of her books.

Roxy and Jack had me SO consumed with their games, the book was over way before I was ready to say goodbye! I am not a gamer, BUT these two had me INTO IT, and REALLY interested in more like this. I definitely think this should be the kickoff of a dark stalker gaming series!
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

[chesirern · Rating 5 out of 5]

Fetch by M Violet is dark romance based on the Jack and Jill nursery rhyme. This gamer based story was absolutely fabulous. M Violet definitely wrote another book with exciting characters and well established plot. In today’s world who doesn’t love a novella filled with masked men, gaming, loads of chemistry and more.

Jill (Roxy) and Jack (Punk) are the perfect dark romance couple. Then there is Juniper the perfect best friend. Jack is an ex skater, pro gamer, biker boy and he is obsessed with Roxy. Roxy is also a gamer who loves wine. She is the person of Jack’s obsession. Juniper is the best friend and everyone should have one.

Another fantastic novel by this author. I can not wait for the next one.

This novella has become one of my top favorite dark stalker romances. The author did a great job of making Punk irresistible even with his dark and twisted side. He frees Roxy from her traumatic past. He is obsessed and protective of Roxy and also puts her pleasure first before his own.

ARC Review: Fetch by M.Violet
Rating 5⭐️ and spice 3🌶️

Jack and Jill went up the hill To fetch a pail of water. Jack fell down and broke his crown, And Jill came tumbling after. Then up got Jack and said to Jill, As in his arms he took her, “Brush off that dirt for you’re not hurt, Let’s fetch that pail of water.”—“ Jack and Jill”, Nursery Rhyme.

I love that an author finally did a book with a skater boy and a gamer girl. Ahaha this is like my teen dream all over again. This novella was hot and I need more. M.Violet’s books are always PERFECT I can’t wait for more

ROXY (JillChick22)- she is a young woman working in a record store who also loves to game with her friends, little does she know one night at a gaming party will change her life completely

PUNK (ComeFindJack11)- he was a star skater who changed and turned pro gamer, she has no clue who he is, he found her and will never let her go, jack found his Jill but needs her to come back up the hill to him

“I will take you to hell and back, pretty girl. Hell is so much sweeter. Fxck, you feel so good when you surrender.”

“Those who exist outside these walls are nothing but pathetic sheep. They don’t deserve to be in your presence. I tolerate it because it’s what you want. But if anyone crosses a line, I will skin them alive. Remember that every time you leave this penthouse.”

“On your knees, Roxy. You will crawl to the kitchen, get me a bowl of ice cream, and crawl back. Go. Fetch.”

“You are ravenous to pray at my altar, aren’t you?”

“I followed your breadcrumbs. Every tasty little morsel you left for me to find…”

“…Your obsession brought me back to life. And now you’re mine to do whatever I want with.”

“And from the ashes, she rises, glorious, transformed, and full of fire.” He kisses the lips of my plastic doll mask. I wrap my arms around his neck. Something has changed in me. Altered. It’s a high unlike any other. “I would die a thousand deaths to feel this way again.”

[The Book Witch · Rating 5 out of 5]

I really do love a good stalker romance, and M. Violet nailed it with 'Fetch', especially with it being her first foray into the trope.

As a gamer girl, I really enjoyed the use of video games and gamers as the setting for this novella. In what can often become a repetitive trope, it was refreshing to read a new and original spin on the stalker romance. I especially love the way Punk uses voice and video chatting, specifically in the video game setting, as a way to invade Roxy's head and space. Not to mention that it made for some incredibly steamy moments between the two. 🔥

If you're in the mood for a fast paced, read it in a day, MF stalker romance where he's unhinged, falls hard, is obsessed and possessive and has that touch her and die attitude, with hardcore D/s themes including degredation and ownership and some seriously steamy spice... then I highly suggest that after checking out the trigger warning and content list, you add 'Fetch' to your TBR. I mean it though, we get into some dark themes here, including unaliving, addiction, SA and more, so please read the content warnings. Your mental well-being is so important.

As with most of my reviews, I'll leave you with my favorite part, the spice rating!! This one is steaming hot, extremely filthy and very sweaty. I was definitely left fanning myself and needing an ice cube rundown, for most of this book. And for that I will be giving this 5 ⭐ read a deliciously spicy 5 outta 5 🌶️'s.

I’m unwell and it’s Jack’s fault.

Fetch by M. Violet is dark, raw, and entirely addictive. If you're craving a short, filthy, twisted novella that goes from online teasing to obsessive domination, buckle up.

Roxy’s life is rough, but her escape is online gaming. That’s where she meets ComeFindJack11. From the second he enters her world, it’s game over for her.

“𝑶𝒉, 𝑹𝒐𝒙𝒚. 𝑰 𝒕𝒉𝒊𝒏𝒌 𝒊𝒕’𝒔 𝒕𝒊𝒎𝒆 𝒚𝒐𝒖 𝒎𝒆𝒆𝒕 𝒕𝒉𝒆 𝒓𝒆𝒂𝒍 𝒎𝒆.”

This is the kind of book that throws you in the deep end and never lets you come up for air. Jack is insane, intense, and undeniably sexy. He wants Roxy, and he’s going to take her—body, mind, and soul.

“𝐈 𝐜𝐚𝐧’𝐭 𝐟𝐮𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐰𝐚𝐢𝐭 𝐭𝐨 𝐛𝐫𝐞𝐚𝐤 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐦𝐨𝐥𝐝 𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐛𝐚𝐜𝐤 𝐭𝐨𝐠𝐞𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐫 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐰𝐚𝐲 𝐈 𝐰𝐚𝐧𝐭.”

There’s degradation, control, a serious voice kink, and god-tier filthy talk.

“𝐍𝐨𝐰 𝐜𝐮𝐦 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐠𝐨𝐝. 𝐂𝐮𝐦 𝐚𝐥𝐥 𝐨𝐯𝐞𝐫 𝐦𝐲 𝐡𝐨𝐥𝐲 𝐟𝐮𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐝.”

I’m not okay and I loved it.

The masked stalker twist? Perfect. The game-to-real-life reveal? Even better. Jack’s obsession is terrifyingly hot, and Roxy’s resistance only makes their dynamic more intense.

“𝐈 𝐟𝐞𝐞𝐥 𝐚 𝐛𝐥𝐮𝐬𝐡... 𝐇𝐞 𝐬𝐞𝐞𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐠𝐥𝐲 𝐜𝐚𝐦𝐞 𝐨𝐮𝐭 𝐨𝐟 𝐧𝐨𝐰𝐡𝐞𝐫𝐞... 𝐀𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐧 𝐡𝐞𝐚𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞... 𝐅𝐮𝐜𝐤.”

This book will break you down and leave you begging for more. And when it ends? You’ll want to replay the whole thing.

⚠️ Trigger warnings: stalking, manipulation, obsessive control, degradation kink.
✅ HEA. Filthy. Fierce. Feral.

Read it if you dare.

If masked men with dark obsessions and god-tier gaming skills are your thing, buckle up. This twisted little stalker novella serves Jack and Jill, but make it digitally deranged.

Meet Jack, a.k.a. Punk, tall, tatted, ex-skater boy with a motorcycle, a mask, and a deeply concerning fixation on Roxy. He’s unhinged in the best way, think quiet psycho energy mixed with "I could carry you in Valorant and bury a body after" vibes. And honestly? I’d bark too.

Punk isn’t just a gamer. He’s the gamer. The kind that’s 3,000 levels ahead of everyone else, sees patterns in chaos, and plays real life like a bloody survival mode. Roxy? She’s his endgame. His prize. His player two whether she wants to be or not.

The story unfolds like a high-speed chase through digital shadows and dark alleyways of obsession. It’s fast, gritty, and full of that delicious tension where you’re not sure if you should be afraid or turned on. (Probably both.) The writing is sharp, the pacing tight, and the atmosphere? Creepy in a way that crawls under your skin.

Why not 5 stars? I wanted a little more psychological depth, a deeper look inside Roxy’s spiraling thoughts or Punk’s warped logic. But for a bite-sized, punchy read? It delivers.

Perfect for fans of dark romance, morally gray gamers, and stories that make you question if falling for the villain is really that wrong.

Fetch by M. Violet

🏍️🛹🎮

Pressing play and going in blind, I was immediately struck by how pretty the cover was. They say don’t judge a book by its cover—but I did, and it did not let me down.

From the very first page, I was pulled in. I couldn’t put it down and ended up finishing it that same day. This short novella was captivating, building tension between Jack and Jill with all the right turn flips. I loved how this dark romance brought together edgy elements like gaming, skateboarding, bikers, masks—and yes, stalking—in a way that ticked every box for me. It was feral, unapologetic, demanding, and smutty in all the best ways.

Jack, aka Punk, was our masked gamer/biker/skater boi stalker with a dangerous obsession for Jill—aka Roxy. His games blurred the line between play and peril, giving a whole new vibe to the concept of gaming. His intensity was magnetic, creating dominance but never taking power.

Jill, or Roxy, was the gamer girl who met every challenge head-on. I loved how she balanced the light and dark, giving the story its emotional heartbeat while never backing down. She was fierce, smart, and exactly what the story needed.

I really enjoyed reading this. And honestly, if gaming is where I’m going to find a masked skater biker boi like Jack… I’m buying a PlayStation tomorrow.
Fetch took me by surprise—in the best way. It’s fast, filthy, and addictive. I closed the last page grinning and a little breathless, already wishing there was more. Game over for now.

Roxy isn’t too sure what to do with her new gamer friend—but he eventually gets under her skin… and in all the right places. 😉 Punk is determined to get Roxy exactly where he wants her—by any means necessary. These two are absolutely fire together, and M Violet didn’t hold back. She turned up the spice, and I was so here for it!
The back-and-forth banter mixed with the heat flowed sooooooo well—it’ll hit every one of your sweet spots. You’ve got the masked vibes we all crave, plus some extra delicious elements: obsessive stalker energy, smoking hot insta-lust, and of course that possessive “touch her and you’ll die” attitude. 🔥
The added mystery and darkness gave it such an edge—and that epilogue?? Girl, that was the cherry on top. Sweet, spicy, and a little unhinged? Yep!
Punk will have you ready to drop to your knees and beg for anything. Am I jealous of the FMC? Absolutely. No shame.
Honestly, I wish this wasn’t a novella—I didn’t want it to end. I think you left out some more spicy pages M Violet.
Grab this one ASAP! It’s fast, filthy and hey—you might even go find yourself your own masked man after. 😉
Thank you M Violet for the chance to ARC read this amazing story. PS: the cover is just amazing!
