Stalker, My Love

by Zack Scott

An untraditional love story where fantasy clashes with reality, and happily ever after seems like an elusive dream.

Welcome to Pine Bridge, a small town rife with secrets. Personal is everyone's business and passion is high.

With the disappearance of Rosalyn Ray, tensions soar and fingers point in every direction: the boyfriend, the best friend, the mother and the stalker.

Frustrated by the search going nowhere, Rhett Calloway makes it his mission to discover the truth and find the girl. Some people in Pine Bridge say he's obsessed. Some say he's dangerous. Some say he's hurt Rosalyn. All Rhett knows is he's loved Rosalyn since they were kids and he'll do what it takes to see her again.

About the author

One sunny day, a stingray bit Zack while he was snorkeling. You might be asking yourself, ‘Hey do stingrays even have teeth?’ Well according to the scientists at Wikipedia, stingrays do indeed have teeth. Now this was no serious bite wound, looked more like a hickey, a hickey on his arm, a hickey from a stingray.

Zack has also written a few stories.

This book was super good. This cover is not. The composition is off and although the title work is unique it's positioning is odd. On the positive side, I do like the colors used.

So wow color me impressed. Really impressed actually. This was a fabulous little who-done-it. I am usually very good at Sherlocking out twists and baddies in books, but this one kept me clueless for the entirety of the book. There were so many twists and turns and suspects that I kept thinking to myself "AHA it's him!" or "AHA it's her!"



The writing was fantastic as was the pace. Like I said above there were plenty of twists and turns. Along with an excellent cast of well-developed characters. The romantic in me hoped for a slightly different ending but the one we get still left me completely satisfied. Two thumbs up from yours truly.

Suspenseful

I really enjoyed this book. I was struggling with who took Roslyn as well as why and what had they done to her. Powerful characters with so many flaws and strengths. Every few pages my opinion on who had something to gain from her disappearance. There was no shortages of secrets and reasons for the mystery. Extremely well written with a pace that kept me involved and questioning. This is a wild story i am happy to recommended to suspense readers.

Rosalyn is missing, her car was found, but she was nowhere to be seen. Has there been foul play or was she escaping a dead end town, a dead end relationship and a strange and quirky stalker who loved her from afar, while trying to be her savior and protector? And what about the man she hit that night with her car?

The police have theories, lots of them, and suspects, too, but nothing concrete. Was Rosalyn abducted? Did her brutish boyfriend do something with/to her? Was it her stalker? Could it have been the visiting author with the loose morals and bestsellers that revolve around sex? Can you trust in a copy who eats the crust of the pizza first? Is someone hampering the investigation by trying to steal evidence?

Zack Scott’s take on suspense, relationships, (or lack of), is a unique twist on life in a town where everyone knows your name, you never live down a reputation and one of the popular locals is missing with everyone clueless. Fingers are pointing, and her number one fan is working overtime to formulate a list of who dunnit and why. Rhett seems to be the number one suspect, even though everyone knows he loves her, as evidenced by his stalking.

A cast of interesting characters highlight the down-to-earth descriptions in Zack’ Scott’s words. STALKER, MY LOVE is not exactly a cozy mystery, but doesn’t exactly have down and dirty grit. While some characters have anger management issues, others seem to be clinging to reality by a thread. Bottom line, there is no butler, so, who dunnit and did anyone do anything? Could Rhett go from lovestruck stalker to hero or will he prove to be a worse villain than Snidely Whiplash?

I received an ARC edition from Zack Scott in exchange for my honest and voluntary review.

Stalker, My Love turned out to be so much more than I’d been anticipating. From the moment I read the synopsis, I was intrigued; however, I wasn’t quite sure what the book would give me. I read so many books of this ilk that I often fear I’m going to be reading a carbon copy of something I’ve read before. Fortunately, this book was a wonderful read. It gripped me from the start, and I could not put the book down. If you do not read it in a single sitting, then your thoughts will be consumed by the story in the hours between your reads. It is, without a doubt, a thoroughly addictive read.

The first chapter introduces us to the stalker. It is one of those books where you quickly come to enjoy a character you probably shouldn’t. The anti-hero air surrounds him, letting you know he’s not the bad guy everyone paints him to be. Yet the word ‘stalker’ has you worried – you shouldn’t like this guy. Nevertheless, by the time you reach the end of the chapter you like him. You like him a lot. As the story progresses you come to like him more and more. The first chapter had you believing there was more to him than meets the eye, and each time you find out more about him, he grows as a character.

He’s not the only character to grow throughout the story, oh no. Nor is he the only character to pull mixed feelings from you. As the story progresses you views towards many characters change. We have a best friend that makes you question friendship. We have a boyfriend who makes you question love. We have a mother who makes you question family. Everyone makes you question something. Everyone is layered in mystery, keeping secrets, trying to protect himself or herself, and making a general mess of a bad situation. It is wonderful – everything combines so well, leaving you unsure as to what development will come next.

I admit to being a bit tentative at times. Ever since Gone Girl the craze has been to create characters people dislike, to leave you questioning everyone, and to make it look like everyone is unhinged. There were moments where I feared this book would slip into this territory. Fortunately, the book never derailed. It followed a steady path, and I found myself pulled into all of the stories that were unfolding. I admit to working out quite a few of the details – I’m a crime thriller aficionado, so this happens a lot – but there were some details that kept me guessing throughout. Things are constantly being added to create more layers to the story, and you’re never quite one hundred percent sure of what the end result will be.

Without a doubt, this is one hell of an addictive read.

If you’re looking for something to keep you guessing, something that really pulls you in, a story with as many layers as the onion sitting in your kitchen, then pick this up. It is so much more than you’re imagining it to be – it’s one of those stories that will stay with you long after you finish reading.

**I received a copy of this book from Lola's Blog Tours in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are my own and not influenced by my source.**

I'm always on the lookout for New Adult reads that aren't just romances so this one immediately grabbed my attention. I love unconventional stories since they always surprise me. And what is more unconventional than a boy who tries to solve the disappearance of the girl he is obsessed with--when he is the prime suspect?

I LOVED the mystery aspect of the plot. I had no idea what happened to Rosalyn and that captured my attention from the start. There's so much intrigue and little complications along the way that keeps you guessing.

I liked that all these characters were unreliable in one way or another. You don't know who to root for or who you can trust so I loved how that contributed to my reading experience. Having multiple POVs also helps to drive the story as well, providing a 360 view of everything that is happening.

Such a refreshing read in this genre and I am so glad I picked this up!

Rating: 5/5 Penguins
Quick Reasons: I have a LOT of thoughts; this was a unique, one of a kind read; love the cyclical nature of the plot; I had no idea where the story was leading me, and I ADORED that; the bright, vibrant cover only emphasized the chaos within the pages

Huge thanks to Zack Scott and Lola's Blog Tours for sending me a free digital galley of this title in exchange for an honest review! This in no way altered my read of or opinions on this book.

"True love doesn't require reciprocation."

Cadmus looked at Rhett like the guy was insane, but most of Pine Bridge looked at him the same way, so it meant nothing. The deputy's pupils expanded. He seemed offended as he said, "It's not love if they don't feel the same as you."

"Then what is it?"

"Insanity."

I....have a LOT of thoughts about this book, penguins. Like, I finished this read last night and just sat here staring at my computer, my mind racing. I had to wait until this morning to be able to coherently put into words what I was feeling--and I'm STILL, even now, not sure I can manage. So be warned: I might, at any given time, become a blubbering mess of chaos. Bear with me, please--I'll do my best to explain in a way your beaks might be able to handle.

So let's start with the easy: this is, in my mind, EXACTLY how a mystery should be written. From the very first page, I was suspicious of EVERYONE. Nobody was safe from that part of my brain that likes to jump to conclusions and see secrets hiding in the shadows. The fact that we were given a look into multiple POVs only helped to make everyone shady. Zack Scott KNOWS how to write an excellent mystery, and he drew upon foreshadowing and vague word choices to, at some point or another, cast every character in a villainous light. I literally went from thinking such and such character had done it one page...to totally flip-flopping the next, and I absolutely ADORED the chaos. It made this so much more fun, knowing I had absolutely zero clue who I was supposed to be suspecting. It also made it feel much more authentic, for me.

"And, for me, you're not just an image. You're the girl whose nose wrinkles when she smiles, who helps others when they need it, who cares about her friends and family. You're the girl who has one of the sincerest laughs I've heard. You're loyal, and, you're also selfish. You can piss off people, and be insecure and sad and lonely, and even cold. You're not some flawless image I made up in my head. You're Rosalyn, my love."

These characters are vibrantly written in regards to their personalities, though I honestly felt I couldn't really *see* them. I feel, thinking about it this morning, that that might have been part of Zack Scott's plan. While their personalities leaped off the pages, we weren't given much to go on about them physically--we got small glimpses of their clothes, the way they stood, how they reacted to stress...but we're never really outright told what they look like. This, in hindsight, allowed me to imagine them as ANYONE--and probably helped, in some instances, to confuse and mislead me, because hello, stereotyping and preconceived judgments. So the fact I couldn't see the characters? NOT a bad thing in this instance--it actually helped to make this read more confusing and chaotic!

I just... I had a ton of fun stepping into this twisted, intriguing mystery, and cannot WAIT to see what Zack Scott does in the future! The plot was confusing enough that I followed red herrings several times, and I adore that I had pretty much no clue who to suspect through the journey (a rarity for me, to be honest!) The characters were vibrantly written, though also vague enough to bring a different sort of chaos to the read. Overall, I LOVED how one-of-a-kind this read was! I definitely, DEFINITELY recommend to lovers of mysteries, who-dun-its, and suspiciously shady characters. Follow the clues, penguins, and see if YOU can figure it out before the big reveal--it's not as easy as you'd think!

As the well-known admirer and stalker of Rosalyn Ray, Rhett Calloway seems to be the likeliest of suspects when Rosalyn disappears, after she storms out of a bar where her friends had been drinking. Rosalyn’s best friend, Elliott Venice, had woken up the next morning in the bed of Earl Wick – Rosalyn’s boyfriend. After finding Rosalyn’s abandoned car overturned by the river bank, a frantic search begins. The discovery of a man’s body nearby leads to more questions than answers, leaving an entire town aghast as all fingers continue to point towards Rhett. Why had Rosalyn been so anxious to leave town that night? Who was she running from? With all parties from her boyfriend to the mob under suspicion, people’s deepest and darkest secrets are peeled back and unveiled as each piece of the puzzle from that evening unfolds, leading to a shocking discovery.

Zack Scott’s incredibly well-written story brings many different genres together in order to tell a complex tale. Rosalyn is the daughter of the most powerful family in town, and their connections and influence reach farther than anybody could have thought. As a battered woman who refuses to leave her abusive boyfriend, Rosalyn was destined to meet with a shocking fate. Each character in the story seems to have motive, an incredible lack of memory, a deep devotion towards Rosalyn and a subconscious regret which they cannot explain. It makes for one of the most exhilarating and thrilling whodunit stories I have ever read, with just the right amount of mystery, humor, love and hate. Rivalries are at their most explosive as the truth slowly comes to light. No crime is more horrifying than the one you had no idea you’d committed before it’s too late. Stalker, My Love is masterfully presented and will be sure to appeal to readers over 15 years who are die-hard fans of mystery, romance, and more plot twists than the most daring of roller-coasters. I thoroughly enjoyed the emotional journey which Stalker, My Love took me on, and look forward to Zack Scott’s next masterpiece.

It is a little hard to describe this book properly. We have a small town somewhere in America, and one young woman, Rosalyn, appears to be missing. Her wrecked car is found where it had run off the road, there is blood, but it is seemingly not hers. A person who has been shot is found nearby, but it is not his blood either. The book is nominally a mystery, but it is not the sort that has clues. The local police seem to have the motto, "Bring in the usual suspects," except this is quite unusual, but they work their way through whoever they can find. One of them is someone who has been stalking Rosalyn, but he has an alibi. So what? Who cares about that? Writers are advised to give their characters flaws. Well, there is no shortage of flaws here. The real mystery about this story is how come there are so many totally inept people in one small town? They even bring in a hit man from somewhere else, and he is thoroughly inept! The writing is clear, the characters are well drawn, although not exactly likeable, the plot is so simple I cannot go further without massive spoiling. The rating I am giving it is not because I liked it, but because the writing has pictured a rather unlikeable situation very well.

Ever Feel You’re Being Watched? It’s Cause You Are!

Rosalyn Ray has a problem—a stalker who won’t leave her alone. While it’s true that Rhett Calloway once saved her from abusive boyfriend Earl Wick, it’s also true that the act of chivalry didn’t entitle him to a permanent place in her life. But try telling that to Rhett. He continues to obsess over her—right up until the night she disappears from Pine Bridge. Where is Rosalyn? Was she abducted? And is she alive? They’re all good questions and ones Detective Elliot Venice wants answered. Elliot is determined to find her missing best friend, but a drunken romp puts a cramp in the investigation—and her career.

STALKER, MY LOVE by Zack Scott is a suspenseful tale of love in its many forms—and that includes stalking. Yikes! The imaginative plot hinges on discerning fact from fantasy. While you might think it’s easy to tell the difference, it’s not in this novel! Rhett has a regular fantasy factory housed in his cranium, and it never stops churning out fuzzy pink unicorns that serve as bride’s maids at Rhett and Ray’s wedding—like that’s ever going to happen! As a device, the mental instability blurring reality is effective in creating mystery and adding plenty of atmosphere. I also loved the author’s choice in using multiple POV’s. Since suspects abound, it’s a good way to let the reader get inside their heads.

On the negative side, I do think there are repetitive passages and dialogue that could be edited out. It would move the story along at a faster clip in some spots. But it’s a small price to pay, and the sheer inventiveness wins out. I appreciated the attention to detail and how all the subplots meshed together to deliver an ultimately satisfying ending.

Zack Scott’s writing is first-rate, and hummed right along. The pacing is good and there are plenty of red herrings thrown in to drive us crazy in guessing who did what to Rosalyn. Definitely an enjoyable read and one I can recommend.

I’m giving this one 3.8 for anyone wanting a fresh take on mystery.

For the purposes of full disclosure, I received a free copy in exchange for a fair and honest review.

[Emilie Sovis · Rating 4 out of 5]

Stalker, My Love is an addictive mystery novel with a fantastic cast of believably flawed characters that pulls in even readers who are not usually fans of the mystery genre. Any one of the lead characters could easily be a villain in another story, but, in gossipy, small-town Pine Bridge, it comes down to the imperfect and problematic ones to solve even darker problems. The primary mystery of the story unfolds in such a way that readers are more enlightened than each character individually, but still in the dark as to the solution of the mystery until the very end.

The greatest strength of Stalker is the character dialogue, which is realistic, modern, and varied. Each character’s life story influences and shows through their dialogue; Rhett is an awkward joker to insulate himself from the judgment of others, Earl is callous and cruel to keep people at an arm’s length emotionally, and Elliot’s imposter syndrome pushes her to overcompensate frequently in her interactions with others. In this way, characters that would be otherwise hate-able become relatable and sympathetic throughout the story.

Perhaps the only major criticism I have of the story is in its conclusion. While all other characters’ experience significant character growth from the beginning of the story, Rhett’s greatest flaws are simply validated. Earl moves on, Elliot accepts herself and recognizes her own competency, but Rhett simply becomes more rooted in his delusional obsessions. Furthermore, the story conclusion and characters almost seem to endorse his behavior, leading to an unfortunate lack of character growth for this character.

All in All, though, Stalker, My Love is a fantastic, addictive story I would recommend to anyone looking for a quick and enjoyable read.

[James · Rating 4 out of 5]

Stalker, My Love is a thriller that builds in tension throughout that kept me turning the pages until the mystery was solved.

This book was very reminiscent of Gone Girl, and for all the right reasons. The mystery was well written, with enough hints throughout so that when the big reveal came, the reader wouldn’t feel cheated by the solution which often happens with these types of books.

The characters were superbly written and developed, in my opinion, with many of them having internal struggles and conflicts that showed the multiple layers of depth and emotion they each had. Even some of the characters that appeared to be one dimensional at first glance, ie Rhett (the kid who is the stalker) turned out to be very interesting.

At some points there was cause for a bit of confusion as a lot of the characters have hallucinations/dreams where the author doesn’t state that these are exactly that, ie not reality, until after the fact and so sometimes figuring out what was happening was a tad difficult but this was a minor inconvenience.

My only other criticism was that although I didn’t feel cheated by the big reveal, I did feel like the motivation by the “bad” character was a tad flimsy and I would have liked to have seen a stronger reason for their actions.

Overall, Stalker My Love, built great suspicion and intrigue throughout, developing interesting characters all with their own strengths and flaws which brings everything together at the end in a big reveal that doesn’t disappoint. I would recommend this book to any mystery lover!

[Mayu · Rating 5 out of 5]

Stalker, My Love has a lot of suspense right from time Rosalyn gets lost. The story is unpredictable and has some really nice twists so you are never sure what would happen next.

"All the adrenaline rushing through Elliott came to a screeching halt. Coldness wrapped around her body. She lowered to the stairs and stared at her friend."

The entire story is written from the third person point of view, where the narrator jumps between four minds namingly Rhett, Jennifer, Elliott and Earl and tells the story from these people's point of view. 

This story is not only about mystery but somewhat also about human nature, the choices they make and having that moment of enlightenment when you realise what you truly want. The characters of this story are very well built. They are relatable and are very human. They have their own set of good and bad characters. 

Another thing about this book is that it makes you see certain things in different light that normally we would not do.

Stalker, My Love is a nice mystery book with a unique plot that keeps you engaged till the end.

[Ivan Hecimovic · Rating 4 out of 5]

Did you ever wonder what does it “feel like’’ to be a stalker? Well, I hope that most of us did not, but even though the idea of writing a book about a character who stalks the girl he loves, is very interesting and intriguing.
Honestly, I did not see many novels like this one. This means that the author, Mr. Zack Scott, had definitely added a lot to the originality when it comes to novel plots. I love original ideas, original novels, when authors are, or at least when they are trying to be original. This novel surely tries to be original. We have a love story that is not entirely a love story. It is actually a thriller novel in which love, obsession (well, that is maybe a word that is a bit too strong, but it can fit) and mistrust intermingle into one rather interesting and inviting novel. I love the idea and I thing that the author did an excellent job with the novel. The author tried a formula and discovered that it works: loony people, loony town, and loony story, but in somewhat playful and “love story kind of’’ way. It is unusual novel, but it is fun to read. Stalking a girl of your dreams is not that bad… If you truly love her, that is.

[Noel Diem · Rating 3 out of 5]

Let's start with the good here: this is definitely the type of book that you are going to read from cover to cover once you really get into it. The book really starts getting great about 25% of the way in and you will not want to put it down. This is a thriller, so expect quite a few twists and turns that will leave you shocked and having to turn back to see how it happened.

It does take a little bit to get started, however. Push through some of the exposition stuff and you will get to the meat that is quite good. There aren't many characters that you find yourself "rooting" for in terms of success, so that is a different feeling. You don't really hate anyone either, you simply just see them as characters. This almost allows you to focus more on the plotlines and the writing.

If you aren't into character driven works, but rather plot driven works, this is a fantastic option. You are able to anticipate some of what is going to happen if you read the book that way - without having to worry about "feelings' for specific characters.

[Cheri · Rating 4 out of 5]

Reality? Fantasy? While reading this I often asked myself those questions. In the small town, the players had known each other since school. Rosalyn, daughter of the town bigwigs, abusive, loser boyfriend Earl, her stalker, savior former classmate Rhett, Elliot her deputy girlfriend, and Mimi their slutty third. Oh, there are more and they all play a part. Just don't plan to figure out who you can trust, what their game is and how they figure into Rosalyn's disappearance.

While the town and police department search for the town's missing first daughter, the author directs the reader down dead end corridors, mazes with no centers, and pasts infringing on the present. You won't know who is sane, a little off, or totally gone. Is the stalker, as the title suggests, a good guy or is he the culprit? You will want to keep reading to find out.

While a good read, the story jumped around so much it was sometimes difficult to follow.

Stalker, My Love by Zack Scott is an interesting novel. Parts of it resemble a thriller while most resemble that of a good mystery. Zack Scott kept me guessing. So many questions, and few clues. I liked how I couldn't guess who, why, and what really happened. There are a lot of novels I have read that give away too much too soon. But definitely not in this case. Entertaining to read.

Zack Scott's novel, Stalker, My Love is a about a girl gone missing. So many events have happened. Leaving behind plenty of possible suspects who could have done it. Yet, nobody really knows who and what happened when she disappeared. One man is super intrigued about Rosalyn's disappearance. Maybe, just too intrigued. This was on engaging journey to follow. Overall, it was a great read. Recommend it to readers everywhere. 4.5-stars

When Rosalyn Ray came up missing everyone’s alibi was slowly revealed. Many of her friends were quite ashamed of their actions at the time when their friend could have been abducted or killed. A few of her friends realized she wasn’t as endearing to them as they had remembered. Her stalker knew he would never stop looking for her until the truth was known.

Zack Scott keeps you guessing what really happened to Rosalyn until the very end. Although tempers flare and shots are fired, the truth stays hidden. Rhett finds the answer first, but this puts his life on the line when he faces the last person who saw Rosalyn.

The twists in Stalker, My Love, keep you wondering what will happen next. I couldn’t put this book down because at the end of one twist another one or two pop up. Although the book didn’t end with everyone’s “happily ever after”, it felt right.

Page turner

I didn't expect that!! What I was saying by end of the book. Then again, why didn't I?? It is always the one you don't pay that much attention too,even when all the clues are there. That,my friend is what makes a good,no great,who done it mystery. A small town mystery, where everyone is a suspect, when the Berle of the town goes missing. You know the type, prom queen, most popular, but loves the bad boy, because,mommy and daddy have money and she is spoiled. I just wish one thing in this book, that mom and dad have to pay for their deeds too. Lovesick fool, probably better looking then the bad town drunk. Best friends, separated by growing up and apart, but, yet still blind to the growing apart. Makes you not want to put it down. As the saying goes,"Keep your friends close, but check their hands for that knife before you hug them."

This unique love story by Zack Scott takes the reader on Rhett Calloway’s journey to find Rosalyn Roy after she disappears. Rhett deeply loves Rosalyn and works to find her. However, Rhett might not be everything he appears to be.
The opening is intriguing and will immediately capture your attention. As mentioned above, it’s unique. It’s a romance/mystery mix that has many plot twists. While it is a mystery book, it isn’t one of the more intricate types. If you want a deep and intricate mystery, this probably won’t be what you’re looking for. It’s an easy mystery plot to read. The novel overall is about 306 pages.
If you’re a fan of both the romance and mystery genre this definitely is a book you should consider reading. It might be more ideal for a romance reader, but it’s still good for those who enjoy quick and easy mysteries to solve.

New fan of Zack Scott!

I really loved this book! The way it was written kept me turning pages and interested from the very first page! It had a great twist at the end that was hinted at throughout the book but the hints were so subtle and slid into the story line so smoothly that I never caught on until he finally said what actually happened to Rosalyn! I think Rhett's character was a little creepy hanging out in trees but for some reason I immediately liked him and was rooting for him from the very beginning.
Scott did an amazing job of setting the scenes and keeping the story line going. I was never bored and was dying to know what happened to Rosalyn! The ending could have been a little more romantic but it really seemed to fit Rhett perfectly. I’ll definitely be checking out any other books Zack Scott writes! He has created a new fan!

Stalker, My Love got me hooked on the first chapter.
It presents the usual perfect situation wherein nothing can seemingly go wrong with anything in such a small town, that is, until the daughter of the town's most prestigious family goes missing.
Everyone suddenly becomes a suspect, in Pine Bridge, everyone knows something about each other and even the closest friends of the prestigious Rosalyn Ray are at risk.

A mystery presented with thrill and the urge of curiosity, Stalker, My Love will surely bring out your urges to know more, delve deeper into everyone's backgrounds and push you to question what could go wrong in such a perfect outline.

Rhett Calloway finds himself stalking Rosalyn Ray his longtime crush. But one night she catches him and tells him to stop. He barely can talk to her and does not tell her his fellings as he stays away.

But soon Rosalyn goes missing and he is one of the prime suspects. Did he kidnap her after she told him to leave her alone? Who really kidnap her and why? All is not what it seems as the past comes back to hit them.

Rhett will find himself in danger as he will try to find her. A different love story.

Wow. This book had me guessing the entire time! Usually, I have an idea of who did it, but the characters in this book have so many flaws, opportunities and motives that it jumps the guilt from one person to the next, making it hard to really choose guilty party. And what of the book's victim, Rosalyn? Rosalyn has vanished and the entire town reveals their flaws as they desperately try to find her and whoever took her. This is small town mystery with lots of grit and grime that will keep you tuning the pages late into the night.

From the first chapter, I was hooked! I finished this book quickly because I had to figure out who did it. This book had twists and turns, all laced with a love story that while untraditional, still focuses on the premise that love can and will conquer all.

I hope Zack writes more untraditional love stories because I'd be the first to buy it!

This story was intense.
I liked Rhett, his story was sad and made me feel like he is constantly getting the short stick in life. He also made it seem like a stalker like him wouldn't be too bad. Lol.
Roselyn, I kind of hated her.
The story flowed well, was an enjoyable read, and it kept me guessing.

On Friday I finished the second installment of a duet and was highly disappointed because of the lack of action. So I decided to read a thriller, which should guarantee action. Stalker, My Love definitely fit the bill. I could not stop reading it. I didn’t finish until 3:45am this morning. It was full of action and I couldn’t guess who the bad guy was until it was obvious. Amazing book!!!

Well, that escalated quickly. I’m not sure I was really expected that ending.
