His Little Prey
Well, who wouldn’t want an unhinged psychopath who's all about consent? It's even better when he's OTT obsessed, jealous, and possessive. The best part? He's never been kissed, never been touched. 🤭 He seems like a unicorn, but he actually exists in this book.
Anyway, my rating is solely for Valerio (29), and it is for him alone. Hence why I rounded this up. I know he's a red flag, and the fact that he ghosted Charlotte not just once but twice really annoys me for a little while. But then I think about how he grew up without ever really knowing what love feels like, believing all along that he was a monster destined to ruin everything he touched. So I decide I’d cut him some slack. I can’t even begin to imagine how he must have felt as a kid when his own mom wouldn’t touch him, and then that one time he tried, she slapped him. That’s just blood-boiling and heartbreaking at the same time. But I'm glad that he found the person who can finally see beyond his facade. Although the way they met was not in the best of situations (imo), it worked for them, so yay, I suppose.
While I liked Valerio, I can't say the same about Charlotte (34). I get that not everyone might see it this way, but I really think there was an imbalance at the beginning of their relationship.
No one really got Valerio before, not even his brothers, even though they made an effort. So, he ended up being left to his own devices most times. Then he met Charlotte, and she became his therapist. She was the only one who could look past his psychopathy and somehow understand where he was coming from. She made him feel seen, and because of that, he became attached to her—obsessed, if we're being honest—eventually leading to him stalking her.
Sure, it's not her fault that he did some questionable things regarding her, but she did nothing to stop them either. In fact, she actually enjoys and somehow encourages it (by seducing him). Her professionalism went out the window so fast, and that’s when I got the ick.
I guess I just expected a bit more maturity from her, especially since a) she’s a doctor and b) she’s five years older than him. Idk how to explain it other than it came across to ME like there was some kind of exploitation in their doctor-client relationship. She somehow knows how to handle someone like him, and he ends up becoming infatuated with her because she’s likely the first person to really show him understanding and sympathy. AGAIN, I get that that wasn't the intention. It's just how it felt to me.
So yeah, I didn’t warm up to her, not even until the end, because the ick didn’t go away. But she's Valerio's world, so there's nothing I can do about that.
Anyway, like I said, I enjoyed this because of the MMC. But ngl, I was disappointed when he didn't say "ILY" because he felt those words were inadequate to express his feelings for her. Idk about the other readers, but I like the MCs to say those words and back them up with actions. But then again, to each their own. 🤷♀️
Book info (Spoilersss ⚠️)
— Client x Patient
— Psychopath H
— Touch-averse and germaphobe H
— OTT JPP H
— Stalking
— Dubcon
— Novella
— Reverse age gap (mini)
— Child abandonment
— Mention of abuse (past)

— HEA (mos later??, married and pregnant)
PS. Idk how to feel about their mom getting her own book. She left her four sons, making them feel unlovable and worthless. She made them believe that they were monsters and that something was wrong with them. I should probably give her some grace because, after all, she was stuck with a man so obsessed with her that he ended up imprisoning her and abusing her to keep her from leaving. Yes, she was hurt all throughout the years; the same goes for her children too. They all didn't choose that situation. Yet she made them feel like they were the worst thing to ever happen in her life, all because every time she looked at them, it was her POS husband whom she saw. And YET, she ended up marrying her POS husband's identical twin?!?! You can't stand looking at your sons because they resemble their monster father, yet you ended up marrying the actual twin of that monster. Yo, make it make sense! The years probably helped her, but ugh, idk.

- Novella
- Virgin MMC
- He stalks her
- Some push from H bc of his trauma
- No owd at all
Easy read with some heavy mentally illness from the H, but it was a funny and easy read. The H pushed the h away two times, but due to all his trauma, I understood. And he was so obsessed with the h that it didn’t bother me.

ive gotten tired of these tt book recs now

Valerio had potential as a complex character, especially with his issues surrounding his mother and the fact that he was in therapy to begin with. I really wish the story had leaned more into that psychological angle because it felt like a missed opportunity for deeper character development.
Charlotte, though, was my biggest struggle. I found her unprofessional and honestly kind of unrealistic. The way she accepted that she was involved with a literal serial killer felt way too easy, and it pulled me out of the story. I don’t mind dark romance tropes, but I still need the character reactions to feel believable.
Overall, it was a quick, entertaining read, but I wanted more depth and stronger character development to really sell the story.

✧ rating: 3,5/5
✧ tropes
↳ patient x psychiatrist, germaphobe mmc, virgin mmc, total power exchange (TPE), stalking, cnc, abandonment issues
✧ why isn’t it a 5/5?
↳ its a novella at the end of the day. i found it really fast-paced and enjoyable. but i actually wanted some parts to be more detailed ngl
✧ my take
↳ this might be might favorite out of the series (i still havent read the first one) valerio is definitely the darkest mmc out of the morelli brothers and i really enjoyed it.

“I don’t tell you I love you because it’s too small…it doesn’t cover the way I want to crawl inside your chest just to hear your heart from the inside. It doesn’t cover the fact that I’d dismember anyone who even thought of hurting you.”
What a perfect dark, toxic, obsessive end to this series! Not sure how I feel about Isabella maybe getting a novella but the Morelli brothers were a fun trip!

i didn’t realize this was a novella and would have enjoyed it so much more if it had been a full book i think
February 19, 2026
I didn’t really like ittt😞. The story felt rushed and everything happened way too quickly. There wasn’t enough time to really connect with the characters or understand what was going on 😭😭. The writing was also pretty cringey at times, especially the constant “look at me! look at me!” moments which just made it worse.

3.5 stars. I never laughed so much during a book. Not because it’s funny but because of the things I read with my eyes. lmaoo words are being written together that have never been written together before

Loved this book! Both of the main characters were absolutely insane. It's very quick and fun.

Wish it was a book instead of a novella !!! Great read 💕💕💕💕 I love when men beg on their knees 😸

Hmmm good enough. Could've been better if there was more action and by putting the main characters' lives at risk
