Beautiful Stalkers #2
My Masked Savior
She calls me her savior. She has no idea what I really am.
I’ve saved countless lives as a combat medic and EMT. I’ve taken more than a few as a vigilante. Both require steady hands and no hesitation.
When Morgan Cole collapsed at her office Christmas party, everything changed. One touch, and I knew she was different. When I told her, “Good girl, now breathe,” and watched her vitals instantly respond to my command, I was lost.
I only meant to check on her.
Make sure she was safe.
Now I drive by her house every night.
I know her schedule, her friends, her fears.
I’ve touched the clothes in her laundry when she isn’t home.
I tell myself I’m protecting her. That’s what I do—eliminate threats and save the innocent. My brothers in arms would say I’ve finally cracked.
No good can come from my obsession. A man like me leaves bloodstains in his wake. But I’ve watched Morgan fight to breathe, seen her pulse jump when I call her “princess,” and now I need her like oxygen.
She thinks I saved her that night.
She has no idea I’m still watching.
Or what I’ve done to anyone who’s ever hurt someone like her.
They call me a hero when I wear my EMT uniform.
If they knew what I did in the shadows, they’d call me a monster.
Morgan might be the only one who could understand both sides of me.
And God help her—I’m done just watching.

⭐️ 4.5/5 — Two broken souls choose to embrace each other’s scars and darkness. I call it a beautifully dysfunctional romance. ❤️🩹🖤🫂🥀
(Emotional damage, but make it hot, yeah?)
🌶 4/5 — Because nothing makes me drop to my knees faster than an obsessed, deadly MMC whispering “my good girl.” The spice had me folding instantly like a wet tissue. Holy mother of praise kink. 🔥🥵🧎♀️💦
(Zero resistance, zero shame, 10/10 would fold again.)
📣💞 Special BR Shout-Out 💞📣
Okay, tell me the universe isn't conspiring with the TikTok algorithm right now?! 🔮✨ What are the actual odds that I saw one quote on my FYP, and then—BAM—I wake up to a DM from my bestie sending me the exact same video screaming, "I need a book with this vibe immediately"?? 🤯
Destiny called, and we picked up. 📞💅 To Freya, my precious baby, my ride-or-die, and my enabler-in-chief: THANK YOU for diving into this madness with me! 💞 I love you to the moon, back, and into the fictional abyss, babyyy! 💖🖤👯♀️💋🥂♾️
💭 My Ramblings 💭
Listen, we have all been personally victimized by BookTok recommendations before. 😒😤📚 I have waded through the trenches of "viral hits" that were actually just trash fires in disguise. So, believe me when I say I went into this with my guard UP. 🛡️👀
But THIS?! This is one of those rare, holy grail moments where the book actually lives up to the hype! 🙌✨ Finally! A win! A palpable, delicious W! 🏆 I am snatching this victory with both hands and running away with it. 🏃♀️💨 My faith in internet recommendations is (temporarily) restored. 😌
🪤🐁 THE TRAP WAS SET AND I WALKED RIGHT IN 🎣🚶♀️
Quote (Damien's POV):
“Good girl. Now breathe.”
The effect is immediate. Her pupils dilate. Her breathing slows down. Her heart rate drops from critical to manageable as her oxygen levels climb.
I laugh softly, partly from relief at her improvement, partly from disbelief at her response. And fuck if my body doesn’t respond too. Pressure surges below my belt. In my years as a paramedic, I’ve never had such an inappropriate physical reaction to a patient.
“Good to know, princess,” I murmur.
Her eyes widen slightly. A flush spreads across her cheeks. She looks confused, embarrassed... maybe intrigued?
💭 See that? Points aggressively. 👆👆🤨💥 That snippet right there is the villain in my origin story. 😤 The way I went from zero to salivating to launching a full-scale FBI tactical investigation to find this book? 🕵️♀️🔎 We are talking INSTANT FERAL MODE. I went full rabid raccoon. 🦝❤️🔥 Which is, of course, totally normal and very demure behavior for a reader like me. 🙂↕️💅✨️
Because when you hit me with a "Good girl" AND a "Princess" coming from a calm, deadly, obsessed, TATTED-UP DADDY-CODED EMT WITH A DICK PIERCING? It is GAME OVER for my sanity. 🚑😳💘 That is my specific brand of catnip, and I stepped right into the trap. 🪤🐁
Consider me exposed: I have a praise kink, and this man just played me like a fiddle. 🎻🫣 My knees? Non-existent. Absolute jelly. 🫠 I was hooked immediately. Captured. Shackled. Please DO NOT send help 🙅🏻♀️ I am having a great time here—exactly where I wanna be. 😌⛓️🖤🧎♀️
🚨❤️🔥 OBSESSED, IN LOVE, AND VULNERABLE 💘🥺
Quote (Damien):
I’m in deeper than I’ve ever been with anyone. All I can think about is keeping her here. Making sure she comes back. Finding excuses to see her again and again until the idea of being apart becomes unbearable for both of us.
Quote (Morgan's POV):
“I didn’t want to scare you,” Damien finally says. There’s a vulnerability in his eyes that takes my breath away. “I want to be with you all the time, Morgan. Want to know you’re always safe. We just started dating. I didn’t want to make you run from me.”
💭 STOP IT. ✋🛑 Do you see the range?! He goes from "I will make separation unbearable for us both" to "Please don't run away from my deeply concerning level of devotion" in the blink of an eye. 😩🫠 Knowing that a man is this dangerously obsessed with you, but also manages to show that tiny, lowkey vulnerable sliver of a heart? That, my babes, is de-fucking-licious. 🤌💋😋 It's the perfect recipe for a psycho-romantic fever dream. 🖤🔪 Gimme that emotional whiplash. 👏🫴
🍆💦 DICK PIERCING + DIRTY TALK + GYM SHOWER JERK OFF SESSION = FILTHY PERFECTION 🔥🥵✨️
Quote (Morgan's POV):
“Yeah, that’s it.” Damien’s breathing grows harsher as he fucks me with shallow thrusts, getting halfway in before pulling out again and repeating the process in a steady rhythm. The piercing feels cold against my overheated skin. “You feel so fucking good, princess. Fuck, this is all I’ve been thinking about while getting myself off these days, having you under me. I even jerked off in the gym’s showers thinking about your tight, wet pussy.”
“You like that, don’t you, baby? Like knowing you made me come just by fucking existing.”
💭 Excuse me, I need a moment and a fire extinguisher. 🥵🔥🧯 Did he just admit to parking lot thoughts in the gym showers?! 🚿💀 That is next-level, unhinged devotion, and I am HERE for the mental breakdown. 😌 And then he hits her with the ultimate compliment: "You made me come just by fucking existing." 😩🙏 That is not a man; that is a DOBERMAN WHO SPEAKS FLUENT DIRTY FILTH. 🐾🗣 The praise. The possessiveness. The piercing. 🫠 This is the kind of smut that deserves its own aggressively loud standing ovation. 👏👏 Take the spice crown, Damien. 👑🌶️

Quotes: ⚠️ Spoilers ⛔️
When Morgan Cole collapsed at her office Christmas party, everything changed. When I told her, “Good girl, now breathe,” and watched her vitals instantly respond to my command, I was lost.
-
No good can come from my obsession. A man like me leaves bloodstains in his wake. But I’ve watched Morgan fight to breathe, seen her pulse jump when I call her “princess,” and now I need her like oxygen.
-
"That's it. Good girl." The endearment comes out thick, almost slurred. "Spread those legs wider. Let me see that pretty fucking hole I want to fuck."
-
"Come for me, princess. Show me how pretty you look when you fall apart."
-
I unbuckle my belt, the metal clinking in the quiet apartment. My cock strains against my jeans, aching for her mouth.
“Like a good girl,” I murmur, freeing myself. “That’s exactly right.”
I thread my fingers through her hair, gripping tight enough that her scalp pulls. Her eyes flutter closed.
“Eyes on me.”
They snap open—dark, glassy, pupils blown wide.
“Good girl.” I guide my cock to her lips, dragging the head across them. “Open.”
Her mouth parts, and I push inside. Hot. Wet. Her tongue flattens against the underside, and I groan when she licks around my piercing.
“Fuck. Just like that.”
-
“Look at me when you come.”
-
“Your pussy is weeping for it. It’s telling me all I need to know.”
-
“You’re mine. You’re never leaving me.”
-
“Look up, princess,” he says calmly, like he didn’t just take me down and spank me on top of that. Confused, I lift my head to see our bodies reflected in the glass panels of his TV stand. When my eyes meet his in our reflection, he continues: “If by some fucking chance you forget who’s owning your pussy, you look at me. Understood?”
-
“You heard me, princess.” I lean closer, teeth grazing the shell of her ear. “I’m going to fill this sweet cunt until you’re dripping with me. Until there’s no doubt who you belong to.”
-
“Come on my cock, Morgan. Come while I breed this perfect pussy.”
-
I bury myself as deep as I can go and let it take me under, my release flooding into her in hot pulses that seem endless.
“Mine,” I growl against the back of her neck, hips jerking with aftershocks. “All mine.”
When I finally pull out, I sit back on my heels, transfixed. My cum trickles from her opening, stark white against the warm caramel of her skin. The contrast is obscene. Beautiful.
I drag my thumb through the mess, gathering it, then push it back inside her.
“Every drop stays where I put it.”
-
Before she can drift off completely, I hook her leg over my hip and push back inside her. Still slick with our combined release, still tight enough to make my jaw clench.
“What are you...” Her voice is drowsy, confused. “What are you doing?”
“Keeping my cock where it belongs while you sleep.”
-
“I didn’t want to scare you,” Damien finally says. There’s a vulnerability in his eyes that takes my breath away. “I want to be with you all the time, Morgan. Want to know you’re always safe. We just started dating. I didn’t want to make you run from me.”
-
“I may be a monster, sweetheart. But I’m your monster.”
-
“You’re what, Miss Cole? You’re going to orgasm during a pelvic exam? Filthy girl. So depraved.”
-
“You’re going to have my baby, Miss Cole. Going to keep you chained here, naked and pregnant, ready to be used every time my dick gets hard.” I stop breathing at the impact of his words. What’s wrong with me that they turn me on more than the best porn ever did? “And you make my dick hard all the fucking time, Miss Cole. All. The. Fucking. Time.”
“Doctor,” I sob, half playing along, half lost in our game. “Please, make me pregnant now.”
“Ah, fuck, princess!” he shouts, his hips stuttering, before he slams into me once, twice, a third time, then stills so deep it hurts. The pain pushes me over the edge again, and I cry out, clenching around him at the same time as he floods my womb.
-
“I think I love you,” I whisper, my voice broken.
Damien’s eyes widen before he rolls his lips together.
“That’s the hormones talking,” he says, not unkindly.
“I’ll tell you later, then,” I say, sounding stronger. “And tomorrow, and the day after that. You’re my hero, Damien. My savior. Body, heart, and mind.”
His eyes are so soft now as he gazes down at me.
“I love you too, princess,” he says quietly. “I think I loved you since the moment our eyes connected in that office conference room.”
-
“Because you’re the one with the praise kink.” I capture her wrist, bringing her hand to my lips. “You melt every time I tell you you’re a good girl.”
“I do not—”
“You do.” I kiss the inside of her wrist, feeling her pulse jump beneath my mouth. “Your pupils dilate, your breathing changes, you get wet.”
-
“My heart, my mind, every dark corner of who I am—it’s yours.”
“You’ve seen the worst parts of me. The things I’ve done, the man I really am when the mask comes off.” My thumb traces the curve of her jaw. “And you didn’t run. You stayed.”
“I’ve spent years watching people, studying them, learning what makes them break. But you? Christ, Morgan. You looked at the monster and called him beautiful.”
-
“You know I don’t mind making you take it. But I’d really fucking love it if you sat on my face now and rode it until you gush into my mouth.”
-
“I love you,” she whispers.
“I love you too.”
Every time she says those words, they stun me.
She saw the darkness in me and didn’t run. Watched me torture Marco to death and asked to stay. Accepted every twisted, violent part of who I am and still whispered that she loved me.
“Say it again,” I murmur.
“I love you, Damien.”
The words settle into my bones, filling spaces that have been hollow for over twenty years.

📚 Book Review: My Masked Savior (Beautiful Stalkers, #2)
Author: Arden Hart and Selena Winters
Genre: Stalker Romance
🦸🏻♂️ The Hero: Damien
Damien’s past as a Navy veteran and current life as an EMT give him a dual edge: discipline and compassion. By day, he saves lives. By night, he channels his rage against abusers into vigilante justice. His moral compass is unwavering — nothing infuriates him more than men who harm women. When he encounters victims, he doesn’t just patch wounds; he hunts their tormentors, flips the power dynamic, and forces them to taste fear before eliminating the threat for good. Damien is equal parts protector and predator, a man whose darkness is fueled by a fierce sense of justice.
🦸🏼♀️ The Heroine: Morgan
Morgan fled Madison, Connecticut, and the abusive grip of Marcus, her ex-boyfriend, hoping New York City would offer anonymity and safety. Instead, she lives with constant anxiety, her trauma manifesting in panic attacks and asthma that flare in crowded spaces. Haunted by the fear that Marcus is still watching, she struggles to reclaim her life. At her company’s Christmas party, the noise and crowd overwhelm her — and when she believes she sees Marcus, terror triggers a severe asthma attack that lands her in the care of EMTs.
📚 The Plot
That emergency call is where Damien and Morgan’s paths collide. To Damien, Morgan is breathtaking — fragile yet resilient, a woman who responds instinctively to his commanding presence. To Morgan, Damien is the man who saved her life, a towering figure of muscle and ink who somehow makes her feel safe. She can’t shake the memory of him, though she assumes their encounter was fleeting.
But Damien is not a man who forgets. Intrigued by her vulnerability and strength, he digs deeper into her past. His pursuit borders on obsession, yet it’s driven by a need to protect and avenge. When he uncovers the truth about Marcus, Damien’s vigilante instincts ignite: he will not rest until Morgan’s abuser pays.
🌟 What Worked
• The vigilante angle is compelling — Damien’s crusade for abused women adds grit and moral weight.
• His stalking, while unsettling, is framed with protective intent, adding tension and complexity.
• Damien evolves into more than expected: layered, dangerous, and magnetic.
• Damien’s version of “playing doctor” is dark and twisty, but also steamy, and undeniably memorable.
💔 What Fell Short
• The tonal whiplash in Damien’s dialogue sometimes undermines his protective persona. Promising Morgan he’ll show her how a “real man treats a princess,” only to immediately demand submission, felt jarring and inconsistent.
💬 Final Thoughts
This story thrives on its blend of danger, desire, and justice. Damien is both savior and sinner, a man whose darkness is matched only by his devotion to protecting women like Morgan. Their connection is raw, charged, and complicated — but it’s the vigilante thread that elevates the narrative, making it more than just another romance.

💬 QUOTES (‼️possible spoilers‼️):
“Good girl. Now breathe.” The words slip out before I can catch them—more intimate than my usual clinical tone. The effect is immediate. Her pupils dilate. Her breathing slows down. Her heart rate drops from critical to manageable as her oxygen levels climb. I laugh softly, partly from relief at her improvement, partly from disbelief at her response. And fuck if my body doesn’t respond too. Pressure surges below my belt, blood rushing south with such intensity that it’s almost painful. In my years as a paramedic, I’ve never had such an inappropriate physical reaction to a patient. “Good to know, princess,”
“I remember you, princess.”
“Mine,” I murmur against her sensitive flesh. “Every inch of you is mine now.”
“Your pussy was made to be filled by my cum. And I take my duties very seriously.”

So, it seems I’m just collecting ‘book boyfriend’s’ like a tax person collecting taxes 🤣🤣
Morgan, has fled to another state to escape an abusive boyfriend. Still fearing for her life, she deigns to not leave her apartment only to go to work, she is vigilant everywhere she goes, seeking shadows that aren’t there. At a Christmas party, she has a panic attack but the EMT talks her down before it escalates further. From here Damien, the EMT sees the fear in her eyes and deems her a worthy cause for his protection. Will she find out what he’s done? Will her ex find her? Will her life ever be free of fear?

Totally, loved this one. The dynamics between all the characters is heart warming except when it’s not 😈 It’s a well paced read and flows through ensuring you make it to the end. The spice is 🥵, the relationship whilst starting off has stalker attributes, a smidgen of m^rder, a tad of angst, leads to love.

“I may be a monster, sweetheart. But I’m your monster.”
It’s exactly what you expect from a dark romance stalked book. It was short and sweet and steamy. It was just okay for me, it’s part of a series and I read the second book first. I think it’s okay to read out of order but I’m going to stop here for now. I might come back to this series later, I might not.

He saved her life once. Now he's ready to destroy anyone who dares hurt her again.
Morgan’s trying to survive her past and stay invisible at work. A panic attack at a holiday party throws her into the arms of Damien, an EMT whose voice steadies her when nothing else can. She doesn’t know his name, but she can't forget the way her body responds when he tells her to breathe.
Damien tells himself he’s only keeping her safe. It’s what he does. Watch. Protect. Eliminate threats. But Morgan pulls him in deeper with every glance, every breath. He learns her routine. Her fears. Her silence. And he wants more than distance allows.
When their paths cross again, it’s no accident. Morgan leans on him, unaware how far he's already gone. Their connection builds through trust, tension, and the dangerous comfort of being seen. What begins in shadows becomes something they both need.
Together, they stop pretending to be something they’re not. In a world where justice rarely plays fair, they find something real in the wreckage. It’s twisted. Raw. Unbreakable. They’re not healing like others do, but they’re not broken anymore.
Morgan grows from a cautious survivor into someone who reclaims her power. Damien shifts from a cold vigilante into a man who chooses love without losing the edge that made him dangerous. Their bond starts in obsession but deepens into something more. Trust isn't given. It’s earned in blood, secrets, and honesty.
A dark, steamy, masked man vigilante romance where obsession blurs into protection and control becomes devotion. It’s about two broken souls drawn together by trauma, vengeance, and intimacy, building something fierce in the shadows. Love rises from ruin, trust is forged through violence, and redemption comes in the form of belonging. Stalker turned protector, found family, forced proximity, and a love shaped by vengeance.
The Elevator Pitch: A dark and obsessive vigilante romance where a former combat medic becomes dangerously fixated on the woman he once saved. As their lives entangle through trauma, protection, and control, a twisted bond forms that blurs the line between devotion and possession. It's raw, violent, and emotionally charged, with heat that burns as much as it scars.

If the word stalker catches your attention but keeps you with the word Vigilante then this book is a must for your TBR 🖤
Damien is an EMT during the day and a Vigilante at night protecting those that the system failed to. He removes the threats, unmaking the monsters who wear human faces.
Morgan was only supposed to be a patient he followed up on but now is his obsession. He gives her back the breath she needs to fight her demons while she at the same time becomes the very oxygen that consumes him.
Each book in this series just keeps getting better!! I am excited to see what is going to happen in the next chapter!

This is the point where I really start questioning my sanity. I’ve noticed that in the past few months I’ve been binge-watching every series about first responders (9-1-1 Los Angeles, 9-1-1 Lone Star, Station 19… I’m still waiting for more episodes of 9-1-1 Nashville). I’ve always had a kink for uniforms - nothing new to the world, most women probably do. I’m not religious, never have been, but I need to thank God, the Lord, Satan - I don’t even care who - for inventing uniforms, because Damien is absolutely killing it in his EMT one. Oh hell… I’m melting.
I know this story has many TWs, but at this point, this deep down in the rabbit hole where I am now (hmm… my love for jackalopes is starting to make sense… bunny, hole, deep down… with horns… yeah, I don’t think I’m saveable anymore), I didn’t even notice them. Were there any?
Just as I mentioned in the previous short novel, Arden and Selena did an amazing job in this one as well by actually doing research on neuromuscular blockers and adrenaline - and using them on a dickhead very effectively. We see that Damien is different from Killian in many ways, and it was amazing to see (read) it. Damien is cocky, and hell, it looks so sexy on him. There is nothing sexier on a man than a strong masculine energy that he wears well. Fuck me… you could kill me with it and I’d beg for more. (Thank you, Ivett, being very dramatic again, I see…)
Going back to the story: I loved the scene - the foreplay? The roleplay? Both maybe? - in the room at the end of the hall in Damien’s apartment. As a dark romance reader, it was brilliant. (IRL I would probably have a problem with it, but… you never know. I mean, I know how to butcher rabbit, pheasant, boar, peel the skin off; in school we learned and even boiled skulls - fox, stag, boar tusks - for taxidermy and trophies.) The scene with the gynecologist chair though… let’s just say I’m very happy I don’t have to sit in one anytime soon, because the scene would pop into my mind and hell, I don’t want to be smirking in a chair like that.
Morgan - I felt her a bit too soft. A cute and beautiful young woman with a troubled past, but I was genuinely surprised she didn’t freak out during the room scene and that she actually stayed. Good closure though.
Same as before: I felt it was a bit too short, because I think there’s a lot more to Damien. His potential is… wow. I hope we’ll see more of him in the next two books, as their group isvery close-knit.
Arden, thank you for sharing all the new teasers from the boys, and of course from the Wicked Sinners and the Seven Sins Carnival series as well. I can’t wait to continue this short series and deep dive into the ones mentioned before.

This really feels like if Dexter Morgan worked in the medical field instead of the forensic field.
I could lie and say that I read this because I found it recommended to me… no that wouldn’t be true though. I specially saw this passage floating around on Facebook and decided that the read looked interesting enough.
“My eyes lock onto hers like a homing missile. She nods almost imperceptibly. “Good girl. Now breathe.” The words slip out before I can catch them—more intimate than my usual clinical tone. The effect is immediate. Her pupils dilate. Her breathing slows down. Her heart rate drops from critical to manageable as her oxygen levels climb. I laugh softly, partly from relief at her improvement, partly from disbelief at her response.” … “Good to know, princess,”...
As Someone who is a nervous gal especially around anything in the medical field I really thought this would be a read that I could get behind, most of it was. It gets incredibly dark at the end though (which I should have expected tbh just from the cover alone, but I’ve read tamer things with more dark covers so I guess you can’t always base that as a tell.

‘My Masked Savior’ was written by two of my favorite authors, Arden Hart & Selena Winters. I will literally read anything by either of them because I know I’ll be reading quality entertainment.
Damien and Morgan’s love story is definitely appropriately named. Damien saved her life/protected her/watched over her like she deserved. Their characters so well written for each other. Perfect pair. Damien’s patience with Morgan showed his heart was way bigger than he knew, from the start. It was nice catching up with all of the crew for Killian and Emily’s dinner party. It looks like Ethan/Barbara and Caleb/Basia’s stories are coming next and I can. hardly. wait!

Ok, that was so hot! Insta-attraction and instalove at the same time with generous drizzle of spiciness. Yummy!!!
Though this is novella, but the story was deep enough for me. The subject discussed in this book was heavier than the first book.
To be honest, in terms of story and overall plots, I liked the first book better than this one. My Masked Savior was good but My Masked Stalker was still in the number one for me.
Damien was super sweet to Morgan. Yes, him stalking Morgan was sweet. Only in the book though, always only in the book.
Morgan was broken with traumatic pasts but still so strong. Damien placed a huge role to bring out those strength.
I said earlier that this is novella full of instalove, so don't expect deep relationship growth. Both Damien and Morgan were in love with each other at the first sight. However, expect the hotness. The spicy scenes were spicying 🌶🔥🌶🔥🌶🔥
That was light yet so fun reading experience. Can't wait for the next two books in this series. The author(s) teased me so hard with the couples already.
Thank you to Arden Hart, Selena Winters, and Booksprout for the ARC.

This was yet again a delicious short fastpaced story! Where book one in the Beautiful Stalkers series had Halloween vibes, book two takes place during Christmas time.
After reading Killians story I couldn't wait to read more about his brothers too!
It did not dissapoint and I inhaled it again in one sitting! It's the perfect easy, fast paced read for in between when you're craving a masked stalker story.
Though Damian is less unhinged than Killian I really enjoyed his story. His EMT background makes him more compassionate and that makes him the perfect fit for Morgan.
The interactions with Ethan and Killian were on point again and I can't wait to read Ethan's book!

After just one novella, I’ve quickly become a huge fan of Arden so when I seen that they paired up with an already favorite author of mine, Selena to co-write this installment of the series (interconnected standalones) I just knew I had to be on the ARC team again!
Another great stalker novella done right! Fueled by desire and obsession along with using previous Navy skills and current EMT skills, Damien stops at nothing to protect the one he wants.
Super excited to continue this series and continue to learn more about each character of the group

Will I read book 1 or the rest of the series? Probably not. But for what it was, this book did its job. The plot wasn’t super deep, but it kept me interested enough to keep reading. Smut was readable. Same for the characters, nothing amazing, but nothing painful either. Just… fine. Have I already forgotten their names? Yes
Overall, this was a quick, painless read. I wanted to turn my brain off for about an hour and a half. I picked this up because I wanted something easy and low-effort, and that’s exactly what I got. It was a quick distraction, didn’t make me roll my eyes, and sometimes that’s all I need
Not memorable, not awful, just a decent way to shut my brain off for a bit

Good story but it was just too fast IMO (less than 200 pages). If you’re looking for a super fast paced romance with an EMT stalker who praises the FMC for breathing correctly after a trauma induced panic attack then this book is for you. I just wanted a little more yearning and stalking LOL

Morgan calls Damien her savior. She has no idea what he really is.
Damien's saved countless lives as a combat medic and EMT. He's taken more than a few as a vigilante. Both require steady hands and no hesitation.
When Morgan Cole collapsed at her office Christmas party, everything changed. One touch, and I knew she was different. When Damien told her, “Good girl, now breathe,” and watched her vitals instantly respond to his command, he was lost.
He only meant to check on her.
Make sure she was safe.
Now Damien drives by her house every night.
He knows her schedule, her friends, her fears.
He's touched the clothes in her laundry when she isn’t home.
He tells himself he's protecting her. That’s what he does—eliminate threats and save the innocent. His brothers in arms would say he's finally cracked.
No good can come from his obsession. A man like him leaves bloodstains in his wake. But he's watched Morgan fight to breathe, seen her pulse jump when he called her “princess,” and now he needs her like oxygen.
She thinks he saved her that night.
She has no idea he's still watching.
Or what he's done to anyone who’s ever hurt someone like her.
They call him a hero when he wears his EMT uniform.
If they knew what he did in the shadows, they’d call him a monster.
Morgan might be the only one who could understand both sides of him.
And God help her—he's done just watching.

My Masked Savior is the 2nd book in the Beautiful Stalkers Series by Arden Heart & Selena Winters
In My Masked Savior we come to realize that not all guardians wear capes... some of them wear masks that are soaked in their sin.
This story is such a dark, compelling read about how one single act – one single act – a word, a punch, that single moment of neglect – can actually propel ripples that can alter someone elses life irreparably forever.
Damien Hale is an Ex-Military corpsman who has seen way to much. He's still haunted by all the things that he's seen over sea's, all those he couldn't save. Now he works as an EMT, trying to make amends for what he's done and those he couldn't save by saving others. But, when the justice he seeks in the light fails, he puts on his mask and quietly balances the scales of justice in his own way – trying to right the wrongs that society overlooks.
It's during what should have been just another emergency call that Damien meets Morgan Cole. A woman who is struggling to breath during a severe panic attack combined with an asthma attack. Damien's calm command of “Good Girl” manages to break through Morgan's spiral in a way that no medication couldn't. And they both realize in that moment that a spark has been lit between them that's both immediate and undeniable. But, Damien can see that behind her pain lies something so much darker... something that's inflicted.
Damien can't help but dig deeper, his natural protective instincts morphing into obsession. Slowly he begins to feel torn between his duty, the demons that whisper in his ears, and now he is also torn by the woman who has stolen his every waking moment. Damien finds himself wavering on the edge of being a guardian and sinner – caretaker and hunter.
This story is a torturous slow burn that takes you into a decent into each corner of trauma, redemption, and the twisted devotion.
Selena and Arden are a powerhouse of a writing duet that are on fire. They have given Morgan and Damien the perfect chemistry that's off the charts hot. They have together written a story that's spicy, raw, woven with emotional depth, built tension spectacularly, and they will keep you squirming in your seats and turning page after page to read twist and turn and every stolen moment and dark revelation pulling you deeper and deeper into this world.
Three of my favorite quotes are:
She’s staring at me like she’s seeing me for the first time. Not the EMT who saved her. Not the lover who claimed her.
Her tongue darts out, wetting her lips. “More.”
The word hangs between us, electric.
Do you think obsession is always toxic… or can obsession be devotion when it’s the only language a man knows how to love with?

If you like your men obsessive and a little lot unhinged, this is the book for you!
Written by two authors, this book instantly caught my attention—especially with Selena Winters on board, whose work I’ve appreciated since before my reviewing days.
The FMC is a physical abuse survivor dealing with lingering anxiety, which adds a raw, emotional layer to the story. As my first EMT-themed read, it felt refreshingly different.
You had me at “stalker,” and sealed the deal with “vigilante.” 😏

Morgan calls Damien her savior, but she doesn’t know what lurks beneath the mask. Damien has saved countless lives as a combat medic and EMT, but he’s ensured others’ safety with his after-hours vigilante work.
During a routine call, Damien meets Morgan, and one touch to check her vitals changed everything. When Damien adds in praise and a command to breathe, Morgan can’t help but respond and Damien loses himself then and there. Now? Morgan consumes his every thought and what was meant to be a simple check-in has transformed into knowing her schedule, watching her house, and stealing her panties when she isn’t home.
Morgan doesn’t know that Damien is in the shadows…and it’s time to see if she can understand both sides of him, because Damien is done watching.
First of all, I inhaled this like I was in respiratory distress and Damien was the inhaler to stabilize me 😂 I could not put this down and was LIVING for Damien in all his tattooed, pierced peen, Daddy Dominant glory. Damien could give a command and my brain would shut down and the only option would be to listen and I’d be a happy little princess. Don’t even get me started on the things I discovered about myself while reading because Doctor Damien can give me an exam any day 👀💦🥵
Do yourself a favor and start this series because these men do NOT disappoint!

I was super excited to see that these two authors came together to write a book!!
Damien, ex-military combat medic - now EMT, crossed paths with Morgan when she fainted at a Christmas party. They both feel a strong connection and can't stop thinking of each other.
He ends up stalking her, telling himself that he's just trying to protect her, but eventually he just can't stay away. And Morgan is running from a very abus!ve ex, so she's always on guard, making sure he hasn't found her.
I love how protective and obsessed Damien was with Morgan, especially when her ex came back into the picture. She was a survivor and so resilient after everything she went through - I felt bad that she had to go through what she did.
Their chemistry was strong, and the spicy scenes were amazing (umm that one scene near the end iykyk 😮)! These two were perfect for each other.

Morgan Cole has spent five long years trying to outrun the ghosts of her past. She crossed two state lines and rebuilt her life from scratch, yet safety still feels like something out of reach. When a panic spiral at her company Christmas party triggers a brutal asthma attack, it’s the steady, velvet-deep voice of the EMT who grounds her. His face may be hidden behind a mask, but somehow, she instantly feels safe. Damien can’t explain the pull he feels toward Morgan from the moment he rushes her to the hospital. Checking on her once seems harmless enough… until that single visit turns into something far more obsessive. He tells himself he’s just keeping an eye on her. Protecting her. But Damien has another side, one that comes alive when he recognizes the fear in Morgan’s eyes. He’s seen it all before, and he knows exactly what kind of monster put it there. The authors balance Damien’s duality beautifully: the gentle, caring man who treats Morgan like something fragile but cherished, and the cold, unyielding force who hunts the predators lurking in society’s shadows. Fair warning: the story doesn’t shy away from graphic moments and I’m not just talking about the sex. Let’s just say many readers will find a certain satisfaction in the justice Damien delivers to Morgan’s ex. Morgan’s strength absolutely shines, but what I loved most was how she embraces all of Damien, both the light and dark, and refuses to run from the truth of who he is. A gripping, emotionally charged read and a fantastic introduction for me to these two amazing authors.

This isn’t your typical hero-meets-girl romance. It’s darker, deeper, and utterly addictive. Damien is a man split in two—the healer and the hunter, the savior and the sinner. As a combat medic and EMT, he’s spent years saving lives, but when he meets Morgan Cole, something in him fractures. Her panic attack at a Christmas party becomes the spark that ignites an obsession he can’t control.
Morgan is running—from her past, from her pain, from the man who once hurt her. But when Damien enters her life, she feels something she hasn’t in years: safe. What she doesn’t realize is that her safety has a price—and it’s measured in blood and secrets.
Hart writes this story with raw, emotional precision. You feel Morgan’s fear, her tentative steps toward healing, her confusion over the man who both calms and consumes her. And you feel Damien’s inner war—the part of him that wants to protect her, and the part that will destroy anything (or anyone) that threatens her.
The tension in My Masked Savior is exquisite. It’s a love story wrapped in shadows, where desire feels dangerous and redemption comes soaked in sin. But beneath the grit and darkness, there’s a tender truth: sometimes broken people find each other not to be saved, but to survive together.
If you love morally gray heroes, obsessive devotion, and the kind of love that teeters on the edge of ruin, My Masked Savior will haunt you—in the best possible way.

We read and we don’t judge …
Tropes:
🖤 Stalking
🖤 EMT
🖤 Dark romance
🖤 Touch her and ☠️
🖤 🩸play
🖤 Serial Unaliver
🖤 Ex-military
🖤 Unhinged spice
🖤 Morally grey
If you're craving a romance that’s equal parts danger, desire, and delicious tension—My Masked Savior will absolutely wreck your sleep schedule (and you’ll love every second of it).
Morgan is a woman on the run from a past that still claws at her heels. Damien, ex-military and EMT by day, is something far more dangerous in the shadows. From the moment he lays eyes on Morgan, he sees her pain—and makes it his mission to protect her at all costs. What unfolds is a sizzling stalker romance where the hunter becomes the hunted… and the heat between them could melt steel.
Selena and Arden crafted a duet that’s pure fire. The chemistry between Morgan and Damien is off the charts—steamy, raw, and laced with emotional depth. The tension builds like a slow burn, keeping you squirming in your seat and flipping pages long past bedtime. Every twist, every stolen moment, every dark revelation pulls you deeper into their world.
This book is not just a read—it’s an obsession. And I’m already craving more.
Quotes:
She’s staring at me like she’s seeing me for the first time. Not the EMT who saved her. Not the lover who claimed her.
Her tongue darts out, wetting her lips. “More.”
The word hangs between us, electric.
⁉️QOTD: Do you think obsession is always toxic… or can obsession be devotion when it’s the only language a man knows how to love with? ⁉️
