Blackwood Brothers #4
Stalked
Embracing the Hollow’s Hunt felt like strutting onto the stage of a thrilling performance, especially with Vane Blackwood lurking in the wings.This is my playground—a twisted game where pleasure and danger collide, and I’m not one to run from the spotlight. I accepted the invitation, knowing full well that I’d ignite the flames of Vane’s obsession, but I was ready to play my hand.
“Did you think I would let you outshine me?” Vane taunts, a wicked grin lighting up his piercing green eyes. “Tonight, I’m going to prove to you who your master truly is.”
As I weave through a maze dripping with temptation, the tension between us transforms into a seductive game of cat and mouse. Each encounter with Vane fuels an undeniable heat, challenging me to embrace the thrill that sets my pulse racing. The lines between danger and desire blur, and I find myself relishing every moment of our titillating struggle.
But the most intoxicating revelation? Beneath Vane’s fierce charm lies a man who craves control in ways that send electric shocks through me. With every heartbeat, I dance on the edge of submission and defiance, caught between exhilaration and the pulsing thrill of giving in.
As the Hunt unfolds, Vane Blackwood is ready to take what he wants—and I’m more than willing to play along.
Stalked is the fourth installment in the Blackwood Brothers Series, a sultry exploration of obsession and power dynamics that invites readers into a captivating, dark romance. This gripping tale has no cliffhanger and promises a satisfying HEA that will leave you wanting more.

Audible - 4.75⭐️ 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️ The final book in the Blackwood Brothers series is probably my favorite. This follows the story of Lia and Vane. I’m not sure how I expected this one to go. Vane is probably the scariest of the brothers in the preceding books, so to climb into his head was so fun. I love Lia and Vane’s backstory. And I loved the HEA.
Ms. Winters tackled some very heavy-duty BDSM play in this book and she did a fabulous job. She MADE IT CLEAR MANY TIMES Vane had practiced what he was doing to Lia - so important. Many of their kinks are not for beginners. I appreciated that Ms. Winters reiterated the experience our MMC had.
Aidan Snow and Michelle Sparks were our actors/narrators. I think they both did a good job, but as I said in the review of the previous book, Troy Durant would’ve been a better fit for Vane. Our FMC should’ve been voiced by an actor/narrator who has a more authoritative and confident voice.
I am crossing my fingers that book 2 (Knox & Bianca) makes it to Audible soon. I am also very excited to see the stories of the other participants in the game get their own books. YAY!!

To me laughter written in is the best! I literally lol'd! Best feeling ever! Bravo! 👏 The story however got predictable! Repeated things n confusing at the end! From her taking time away to suddenly the Russian in the next chapter n then she's at the club???!! It didn't make sense! It was rushed! I felt rushed as I turned the pages n then turned them back to understand what the heck was happening!? Did pages skip? Missing pages? Nope! So??!! What the??!! Yep I hated all that confusion n rush to the end! The pregnancies were great! I actually expected Bianca to be as well lol! Anyhoo let's just say it could've been longer to fix the needless quickness of things happening n poof the end! Hence 3 stars!
My thoughts! You make yours! We all have an opinion! Enjoy!
Now to read about Cora n then Keiara with the twins!

Such a great book!!! You have Vane and Lia who had one HOT night in high school and never truly forgot each other. Vane is intense, obsessive and possessive. Over the next 15 years Vane learns what Lia likes and plans/manipulates her return to their home town. And while Vane may not be the kind of man you want to bring home to meet the parents, he’s one that can make fantasies come true. As much as Lia tries to deny the tense attraction she has to Vane, The Hunt turns things STEAMY and HOT!!! 🥵 🔥

Konečně pořádný příběh postav. Za mě asi nejlepší díl ze série.
November 24, 2025
Having previously read the other books in this series I had a pretty good idea that I would enjoy the final book in the series, and I absolutely did. It was definitely a story filled with spice and passion but underneath all of that it was a story about longing and yearning for a lost love.
That doesn’t mean that this was a light romance as it absolutely wasn’t but despite the stalking, the watching through cameras and through investigators, the manipulation etc it still felt a lot tamer than the previous books. I think that the reason for that (and the reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is that Vane and Lia, while having met and fallen in love as teenagers had already done pretty much every sexual encounter that they experienced together in this book with other people first, and I think that made it lose some of the excitement, adrenaline and possessiveness that was in all of the other books.
Despite that, the book is still a great one and it still has many of the same qualities of the previous books and I loved the love that they shared and seeing the HEA for all the brothers.
I received this book as an ARC and am voluntarily leaving an honest review

Vane 🫦 and Lia
Dedication
For the dark romance girlies who want a man who'll build an empire while waiting patiently for you to return to the throne he's kept warm beside his…
Favorite lines and quotes
I could have any woman in Ravenwood with a snap of my fingers, but I've spent fifteen years waiting for the only one who matters. The one who's been mine since the moment I first saw her in that chemistry class.
Fifteen years, countless achievements, a successful career—and still, I'm the one thing he'd risk everything for.
“You'd really do that?” I ask, my voice barely audible over the muffled bass from the club. “Break your own rules?”
His thumb traces my bottom lip, eyes never leaving mine. “For you? I'd burn this whole fucking place to the ground.”
Vane's words echo in my head. No other man will touch you during the Hunt. The possessiveness in his voice, the fire in his eyes—I've awakened a dangerous hunger in him by signing this contract. And the most troubling aspect? Deep down, I want him to catch me. I want to know what it would be like to be his for a year—maybe longer.
—I've always wanted Vane. Not just for a night, not just for the physical connection that still haunts my dreams—but for something real. Something lasting.
“Say it,” I demand, pulling back just enough to deny her. “Tell me who owns you.”
“You,” she breathes without hesitation, too far gone in her submission to fight me anymore. “I'm yours, Vane. I've always been yours.”
“That's right,” I growl, lining my c@%k up with her entrance. “And you're never running from me again.”
“You're mine, wildflower,” I tell her, cupping her face. “You've always been mine, and now everyone here knows it. You're mine forever.”
I'm completely f@%king ruined for anyone else. Always have been, from the moment I first saw her. Something about this woman has always called to the darkest parts of me, demanding complete possession.
“Then there's a ceremony where I formally decide whether to claim you for the contracted year.”
Lia's breath catches. “And will you? Claim me?’ My laugh is dark, possessive.
“Wildflower, I'm claiming you for the rest of your fucking life.” I tighten my grip on her, making sure she feels every inch of me still inside her. “No running this time. I'm not giving you up after a year, or ten, or twenty.”
“You can't be serious,” she whispers.
“I've never been more serious about anything.” I twist her on my lap so she’s facing me, my c@%k still inside her, and cup her face, forcing her to maintain eye contact. “I've loved you since we were eighteen, Lia. That never stopped. Not when you left without saying goodbye. Not during the fifteen years you stayed away from me. Not when you were f@c&ing other men in New York, thinking I didn't know.”
After fifteen years of obsession, planning, and waiting, she's finally here—where she's always belonged.
My body responds to him instantly, arching into his touch like it's been programmed to seek him out. Three days with him after fifteen years apart, and I'm addicted.
“All this time,” he pants against my skin, his hips driving into me with punishing force. “So many years and you still feel like coming home.”
“You're everything,” he whispers, his voice breaking as his rhythm falters. “You're the air in my lungs, the blood in my veins. I've existed in grayscale since you left.”
“You're the color in my world, wildflower.” His lips brush my ear, each word punctuated by the thrust of his hips. “The green in every forest, the blue in every sky. I've been drowning without you.”
“I love you, Vane. I think I always have.”
“F@ck, Lia, I have loved you since high school. Every day without you has been torture.” His hips start moving again, each thrust punctuating his words. “You're mine. Always have been.” His voice intensifies, turning almost feral. “I'm never letting you go again. Never.”
“My heart. My soul.” His eyes burn into mine, leaving no room for doubt. “No more running. No more denying what we are. You belong to me, and I belong to you.”
“Yes,” I whisper, tears blurring my vision. “I'm yours, Vane. No more running.”
“Every night for fifteen years, I've dreamed of your body under mine. Every morning, I've woken up with the ghost of your scent on my sheets. Do you know what that does to a person? To want someone so badly you can taste them in the air even when they're miles away?”
“The boy you left behind died that day at the bus station. What rose in his place was something darker—something that would do anything, become anything, to have you back.”
A tear slides down his cheek. “I became this version of myself—controlling, obsessive, depraved—because it was the only way I knew how to survive without you. The only way I could bear the waiting.”
“Stars don't hide from the night sky that holds them. The ocean doesn't conceal itself from the moon that pulls its tides. And you—you don't need to hide from the man whose existence orbits yours.”
“I need you to understand something.” I press my forehead to hers. “When I said you're the oxygen in my lungs, I meant it. You leave, I suffocate. That's not romantic metaphor bullshit. That's reality. My reality.”
“When you left fifteen years ago, you took pieces of me I didn't even know existed. Pieces I've been trying to get back every day since. Not because I wanted to possess you like some object, but because without you, I'm just—”
“I'm just the monster,” I finally manage. “With you, I'm more. A man that maybe doesn't deserve you, but who is capable of love so fierce it would make gods jealous.”
“I spent fifteen years running because I thought love was supposed to be simple. Clean. Something that fit into the life I'd built—career-focused, organized, controlled.” She rises on her toes, bringing her mouth closer to mine. “But we were never going to be simple. You're chaos wrapped in emerald smoke, and I'm the girl who can't stop breathing you in.”
“I love you.” Her voice drops to a whisper. “Not despite the darkness. Not separate from it. I love the man who orchestrated my return and the one who hunted me through a forest. The boy who kissed me at eighteen and the man who tortures his enemies. All of it. All of you.”
“I love you,” I whisper. “Every dark, twisted, beautiful part of you.”
“Good.” His smile turns wicked. “Because you’re stuck with me now.”
We’re not a fairy tale. We’re something more complicated—built on pining and obsession, on surrender and dominance. But it’s ours, and it’s real, and it’s exactly what I need.

Overview
Lia and Vane go to the same High School, she is the good girl he is the misunderstood bad boy and they fall for each other they go to prom together and one thing leads to another after prom festivities. Fast forward 15 years and Vane is willing to do anything to get her back Even build a world that she can't resist.
My Thoughts 💭
When I tell you that I have loved every book in this series it's an understatement I am Head over heels obsessed with Vane Blackwood, he will forever have my heart the fact that this man was willing to still yearn for her and want her after 15 years and never gave up that says a lot I also felt so much pain for him because Lia runs a lot that's just what she does that's what's in her nature. The Vane is her monster but yet she's what has made him that way.
When it comes to spice in this book I can say that it is very raw and vulnerable in the beginning but then it is so erotic the rest of the book like it makes you blush.
I feel like there is a lot of character growth for Lia because I feel like she's fighting herself all throughout this book of what expectations other people have of her but once she starts to live her life for her and realizes that it's okay to not be 100% perfect then she starts to see the beauty in what her in Vane have.
The banter in this book is surreal because you get when they were in high school but you also get now and the wittiness and the shots fired back and forth is like they were just made for each other.
I would say for this to be the ending of this series I definitely enjoyed it wholeheartedly.
I do love that you are getting foreshadows for the three books that'll be Side characters in this Edition of an add-on and I do love how you slowly start to see their stories come together.
But once again Selena has definitely given us an unhinged man who will stop at nothing for the girl that he loves.

This is the fourth book in covering the Blackwood brothers and the Hollow Hunt. Vane, the second oldest, has liked Lia since he first met her. Mind you, Lia would just say he was annoying, hot, but annoying. But eventually, all that sexual tension comes to a head at the Prom.
Lia has her future mapped out; she has worked hard to get out of Ravenswood and go for the career she has always planned for, and she needs to get away quickly. The feelings that Vane has stirred in her could derail her from her vision.
Vane can't believe what Lia has done; he thought they had shared something very special. To ignore him and then flee cuts him.
Jump ahead fifteen years, and Lia is now established in her chosen profession in New York. When an offer is put to her, is she brave enough to take it, when she knows who will be there if she takes it?
Vane is not that boy anymore; he is ruthless, the brother who doesn't mind getting his hands dirty and bloody, to protect the Blackwoods' businesses. He has watched Lia from afar for all these years; now it's time for her to come home, to come back to him, she just doesn't know it as yet!
Once back in Ravenswood, the dance begins between Lia and Vane; he is the hunter, she is his prey, and Lia loves to be hunted, but once caught, will she stay? Will she want to be with someone like Vane? Can their intense attraction, his obsessive, possessive nature, be too much for her?
A great ending to this year's Hallow hunt, these books have had me from the very start. All four brothers have been laser-focused on their prey, but in the end, it's been them who've been caught.

Spice: 5/5
Genre: Stalker Romance, Dark Romance
Content Warnings: Please see CW, there’s a lot.
PoV: Dual: Vane and Lia
I received an advance review copy and I am leaving this review voluntarily.
Thoughts: Stalked by Selena Winters delivers a finale that is nothing short of spectacular, a perfectly wicked finale to a decadent and salacious series. Winters thrusts readers back into her opulent world of secrets, desires and more ambiguity, crafting an utterly exhilarating conclusion to the series. This chemistry between the main characters is intoxicating and burns with a fiery passion. Winters demonstrates an unparalleled ability to lure readers into the shadowed corridors of obsession and forbidden desire, crafting morally gray figures whose vulnerability makes them all the more compelling. These are characters you might ordinarily abandon into your DNF pile, yet under Winters’ spell, they become magnetic, like moths drawn to a flame, a scorching blaze you cannot turn away from. Winters writing is unapologetically bold, seductive and perilous, few authors can command the stalker genre with such elegance and ferocity; Winters does so with ease, leaving readers breathless and craving more. I bow to the singular genius of Selena Winters, an author whose work is as deliciously dark and thrilling as it is unforgettable.

Winters writing is unapologetically bold, seductive and perilous, few authors can command the stalker genre with such elegance and ferocity; Winters does so with ease, leaving readers breathless and craving more. I bow to the singular genius of Selena Winters, an author whose work is as deliciously dark and thrilling as it is unforgettable.

She’s his, she has always been his. They had strong chemistry even in high school, when she agreed to go to prom with him, he thought that he finally had his shot. When they spent the night together, he knew that he was going to be all in with her going forward. But when she fled and ran from him, he had to watch her from the sidelines all the Wild setting his trap, waiting for the time he could bring her home. When she gets the job offer in our hometown it’s too much to resist, even though she knows she’s going to have to face him at some point. And when she does, the sparks are just hot and the fire burns just as bright. He is no longer a boy and is not going to let her slip away again no matter what he has to do to keep her. This is a hot and steamy, OTT, stalker romance. He is obsessed and determined. Throw in a little voyarism, primal k!nk, bdsm elements, and a hear pounding run through a maze. If you enjoy that, I recommend you read them in order as the series is him and his brothers and they all appear in this story.

'He places one hand against the wall beside my head, effectively caging me in without touching me.
“You know what I think?” He asks. “I think you’ve already decided. I think you came to Purgatory tonight looking for exactly what I’m offering.”
His proximity is maddening. I can smell him— cologne and a scent that is unique to Vane that triggers memories I’ve spent years trying to forget. The heat from his body radiates toward mine, making my skin prickle with awareness.
“Don’t presume to know what I want,” I warn, but my voice comes out breathier than intended.
Vane’s eyes drop to my lips, lingering there before traveling down my neck, to my collarbone, and lower. “Your body gives you away, wildflower. Always has.”'
I really enjoyed this book. Great world building and wonderful characters. I loved Vane so much. I liked the flashbacks as they added to the history between him and Lia, and helped shine a light on who he is and his motivations. I liked the cat and mouse chase, and have always loved a strategic mindset. The chemistry between them sizzled. 4 stars

Vane: Intense, obsessed, determined, focused, in love. He knew Lia belonged with him when they were 17. He let her run. Over the next 15 years, he planned for when she came back to him—because he KNEW it was her destiny.
I tell you what, Vane and Lia are 🥵 hotHotHOT 🥵 I think they’re the hottest couple of the four brothers. Vane has definitely been the most intense and broody throughout the series—one of the reasons why he’s my favorite. This is a great book.

I absolutely LOVED this book. Stalked is a dark, twisty second-chance romance with a stalker edge and some seriously delicious kinks. Vane falls first and he falls hard—like obsessively possessive, unhinged-in-the-best-way hard. You could call it devotion… you could also call it “this man needs therapy,” but honestly? I ate it up.
Once their past is revealed, everything clicks into place and the whole story hits even harder. The way Vane has been quietly shaping Lia’s world for years without her noticing? Creepy, yes. But also kind of perfect for this kind of romance. And when she ends up in the Hollow Hunt and he finally claims her? The tension and chemistry are scorching.
This one kept me hooked from start to finish, and I’m ridiculously excited that Selena Winters is doing a spin-off for the other participants. I’ll be first in line for it.

Loving me some Vane 😍
⚠️Possible Spoiler Alert⚠️
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️
I thought maybe Knox would still be my favorite or the 4 brothers. BUT Vane is right up there with him!
Vane and Lia have 15 years of history. He fell in love with her in high school. She got scared and ran. Of the 4 MFC's in this series Lia is the most confident, independent, and temperamental. I won't lie, she also frustrated me the most, even more than Bianca (Knox's woman). Vane may be a villain, but she hurts him enough that she's the villain...I guess I shouldn't fault her for her 'do gooder' 'judgemental ways', because she's pretty sheltered. I feel that Vane deserved much better than he got in Lia. That is just my personal opinion.
The story is really good. It will keep you turning the pages while yelling, feeling emotional, and happy. I would love to see another book with more of all the couples lives in the future ❤️
HEA FOR SURE

Lea and Vane’s story starts in high school. Before the Blackwoods are full grown and become all that they are. Both are young and bright with so much potential, if from two different walks of life. Vane wants Lia though and he gets her, for a night, then she runs. Fifteen years later Vane manages to bring her back. Back to the town where they started and most importantly back to him. Lia is no pushover and Vane knows exactly who he wants and what he wants for his future. Told from dual POV this is a spicy yet emotional tale. There’s a brutality to Vane but there’s softness too, at least where Lia is concerned. Lia for her part is a whole person, comfortable in her skin and her sexuality. Story is part of a series but the whole series does not need to be read to read this one.

Bane has been addicted and obsessed with his Wildflower for years. Lia may have left town, but Vane has colored every moment in her life! Selena Winters has me addicted to these brothers, their Hollows Hunt, and the intensity of their play! Vane and Lia smolder with every thought, every word, and every touch: it’s exceptionally emotional as they reconnect! I love his commitment, even though it’s slightly unhinged, to keeping her in his sights ! She’s so stubborn refusing to accept her feelings, but the attraction is undeniable! I’ve truly enjoyed each book in this series: primal play, exhibitionism, voyeurism, and some seriously twisted mating rituals that melted my e-reader!! Great addition to the collection and 5/5 writing and spice!.

I loved this addition to the Blackwood Brothers series! Second chance romance, stalking, hunter/prey, dub con, morally grey MMC. Vane is obsessed with his high school nemesis Lia, he will do anything to have her. After a perfect night together at prom, she gets scared and flees from him, leaving the town and everything behind for New York. Years later, and his obsession has grown, he won't let her run from him anymore, he knows where she is, what she does every minute of everyday, and he plans to get her back, no matter what it takes. This book was brilliant, I loved the dynamic between Vane and Lia, the push and pull of their relationship was comical at times. I have loved reading the Blackwood Brothers series and I cant wait to read more from this author!.

Oh my word! Although the first was my favorite this one was a close, super close, second. You know what no, I change my mind! I think this was my favorite. I honestly wish it was longer!!! I would have loved to dive more into their time together after the hunt or after the “epilogue”. I loved Vane and his very strong feelings for the nerdy, always put together, type A Lia. I loved that he wasn’t afraid of her strength and intelligence and drive. I loved the way the book explained why someone like Lia thrives on being a Sub and how Vane, while he detested that other men had touched her while they were apart, he never once threw it in her face or held it against her. This was such a great series and I’m beyond thrilled to read the next staring with Cora!.

This is book 4 of a series and a dark romance - please check triggers before reading.
I've read all of the Blackwood Brothers series books, and this may very well be my favorite. The second chance aspect makes it so sweet - Vane, our MMC, knew Lia from when they were school together, and even when he was a poor foster kid. He's ridiculously rich and powerful now, but he still holds a candle for the girl he loved back then. Uncovering the connection between them and how her choices have represented her trying to find something to fill the space he left when she ran from him 15 years earlier.
Even though this is the 4th book describing the same hunt, it's so well-written, and the scenes between Vane and Lia are both super-hot and very emotional. Their coming together is so powerful, and I loved the ending for them.
I can't wait to read Cora's story next!

Selena DOES IT AGAIN!! Every book I read from her just keeps me engaged, enthralled and hooked from the very first page!!
I had privilege to read the ARCs for each installment of this Blackwood Brothers series and I have loved each and every one. I especially am so enamored with Vane and how he fell in love with Lia in high school and has thought about her, watched her and has been planning to get her back every day since.
High level spice, action, thrills, other POVs of the Hollows Hunt, and more cameos from familiar characters from the Carnival series!
Stalked is an absolute page-turner, one-sitting, cannot put it down read!!!

I have loved all of the brother's stories, but Vane's might be my favorite. Vane has always loved Lia, she just acts like she hates him. Her life if perfect; plans laid out, plans that don't involve falling for a troubled Vane. She agrees to go to prom with him, and that night everything shifts. But Lia can't stay, can't reconcile her feelings for Vane... so she runs. 15 years later and Vane finally has her back in their hometown. Tensions high he invites her to the Hollows Hunt to finally make her his.
This was a wild ride. Vane is passionate, obsessive, possessive and will stop at nothing to have what he wants. I loved their bad boy/good girl dynamic. Lia is everything Vane isn't and Vane is everything that scares Lia. LOVED LOVED LOVED THIS BOOK!

Story 4.25 ⭐️
Spice 4.5 🌶️
Stalked is a dark stalker romance following Vane and Lia, and the Hollow’s Hunt. This is the 4th of the Blackwood Brother books.
Vane and Lia have always had chemistry and when she left without telling him following graduation he stalked her from a distance and orchestrated her return to him. Now that she is back, he plans to keep it that way.
This one covers their rivalry and time together when they were in high school before moving onto the Hollow’s Hunt as well as continuing the events post Hollow’s Hunt that were started in the previous books.
As much as I loved Stalked, I did not like it as much as some of the others.

Stalked is the fourth story in the Blackwood Brothers series. It is a great addition to this series. I have loved reading these stories.
Vane has liked Lia since they first met. They went to high school together. Lia has already planned out what she wants for her future. When she leaves Vane is destroyed.
Lia is now enjoying her career but now she is back in their town. Vane wants her back and has been planning on her to come back. Vane is not the same person and has been hardened. Vane is obsessed with her and will stop at nothing to win her heart.
I loved how Vane was so obsessed with Lia. Their chemistry was so good.

Stalked Love
Vane and Lia were high school sweethearts but it didn’t last long. Lia left for college without telling Vane but he was too obsessed to let her go completely. For years he has stalked Lia from a far, waiting for his chance to claim her for good.
Now that Vane has risen up in means and has access to the Hollows Hunt, it’s time to make his move for Lia. He invites her to the Hunt and plans to finally capture his obsession and keep her this time!
Very steamy read with a second chance romance theme. These two have a history and the reunion is fire!

I need more of this series and more of Selena's work in general. I felt a bit confused in the beginning having not read any of the previous books in this series. That being said, I still loved it. Vane and Lia's chemistry started in high school, and I loved how Vane stalked Lia from a distance when she left without a word after graduation. 15 years is a long time, but Vane has yearned for Lia all that time and every time she ran from him only made him want her more. Vane is Lia's monster, but she created him, so she has to live with it ;).

I went into this already knowing Vane was unhinged, and somehow this book still surprised me. The high school flashbacks actually mattered, which annoyed me at first, then won me over when the emotional payoff hit. Vane is controlling, patient, and way too calm about it, which made him more unsettling than loud chaos would have. Lia frustrated me with her running instincts, but it fit her character and made the push and pull feel earned. The Hollow’s Hunt sections were tense and visually clear without dragging, which helped the pacing a lot. The writing leans hard into obsession and power without pretending it is healthy, and I respected that honesty even when I side-eyed it.

I soon as I saw this book I had to grab it and abandoned everything in life to devour it. No regrets that left everything to rot until I finished. This one so emotional because it let you see more into the upbringing that the brothers had. Shot out to Xavier for stepping up as the pilar. The way Vane let his feelings flow are heartbreaking. Even though the Blackwood brothers are a walking red flag i justify anything they do. They have a reason, a possessive one but a reason nevertheless. I will re read them again.

The fourth book in the Blackwood Brothers did not disappoint, it only left me wishing there were more brothers! A dark romance with a hunting game that definitely leaves me satisfied, but also wanting more. Vane is absolutely fantastic, and Lia? She’s fire! A second chance for a man who is obsessed with this woman since high school. I literally cannot pick between the brothers as to who my favorite is, they all bring so much to this series! Selena, don’t ever stop!!.
