Dark Obsessions #1
Stalker Protector
Gideon
She doesn’t know it’s me. Not yet. I’ve lived in her shadows, guarding her from the man who broke her, from a world that doesn’t deserve her. But somewhere along the line, protection turned into possession. I don’t just want to keep her safe - I want to own her. Every breath, every heartbeat, every part of her. She was mine the moment I saw her again. She’ll never escape me, not now. Not ever.
Scarlet
I know I’m being watched. I feel it in the silence of my apartment, in the weight of every shadow I pass. At first, I was afraid. Then the fear twisted into something darker - something I shouldn’t want. Because the man in the shadows isn’t a stranger. He’s my ex-stepfather, Gideon. Dangerous. Obsessive. Irresistible. And the truth terrifies me almost as much as it thrills me. I should run. But a darker, twisted part wants to be caught.
Stalker Protector is the first story in the Dark Obsessions series—where love is forbidden, protection turns to possession, and happily-ever-afters come wrapped in the shadows.

Stalker/Stepfather/Daddy
Great little story about a stalker stepfather. Gideon is ex-military and very possessive. Scarlett is the virgin step-daughter (Gideon left her mom years ago). They've always wanted each other since a chance encounter in the bathroom. This is a fast paced really good read. Eden James is a great writer. Her descriptions are also great. The spice is on point but not over the top.

First timer on romance novel
I have to admit it was a really good novel. I like the writing style the author did for the two main characters. I would continue to read from this author.

I am totally into the premise of this book. It was what (my) fantasies are made of. It was a quick read but thoroughly enjoyable. I’m glad there are more books in the series because this one left me wanting more.

I wanted this to scratch my Andrew “Pope” Cody itch alas it did not. The romance was not fleshed out enough for the intensity of the spice. Felt super rushed. If he’s meant to be a stalker let him stalk!
