Dearest Stalker #1-4
Dearest Stalker: A Complete Collection
What happens when a woman falls in love with her stalker?
I'm not the type of woman who actually inspires passion in any guy, much less one who makes it a habit to watch me because he's obsessed.
I'm a curvy, plain Jane. I like my chips, chocolate, and junk food, and it definitely shows.
I'm an educated geek who would rather have my nose in a computer instead of a fashion magazine.
But none of those things seem to matter to Stalker. He sees something in me that I don't see in myself, and I don't know why.
I'm terrified, yet I'm inexplicably intrigued.
I'm cautious by nature, but something makes me want to know who he is, and why he gives a sh*t about somebody like me.
I know falling for a man I've never seen in the light of day is dangerous.
Does he stalk me because he wants to own me, control me, and make me into the woman he thinks that I am?
Does he want to hurt me, or is he just a lost soul like me?
And why did it feel so good to touch him under the cover of darkness?
Is he my nightmare or my dearest stalker?
Getting to know him might be foolish, but for some reason, I just can't walk away...
Author's note: This is a red-hot, sexy, curvy girl serial romance with an obsessed, alpha male stalker. Read at your own risk. The stories will come out in quick succession so you won't have to wait long for the conclusion.

Book Review: Dearest Stalker: A Complete Collection
My Rating: 5 Stars
Author: Lane Parker, J.S. Scott

REVIEW
I have truly enjoyed every story in this collection.
Book 1 -
Wow, what a book this is. I can't say I have read many stalker books but this one was absolutely worth reading. I have already grabbed the next two in this series to devour.
Kate has lost her mom, her no good dad and for some reason has become a little sister or more to her stepbrother.
She has also picked up a stalker, and now the big question is who is he?
Well, you won't find out in this story although it has my mind going on who it may be...
Grab your copy I got mine when it was Free and so freaking glad I did.
Book 2 -
I devoured this second book and it picks us up right where book one left us. I am glad it did that but now to figure out this mystery.
Kate wants to know more about her stalker I mean hello they had sexy time so why not? But he isn't giving up much of anything. He does, however, come in through the window and gives her yet again mind-blowing sexy time.
Who is he?
OMG... Can I please have more already.
Who is the stalker?
I am beginning to get an idea but not quite sure...
Book 3 -
Katie gets her wish, her dream job, and along with it comes the man she will work with... Ian Blackwood.
She still is thinking about her stalker, and why he won't just open up about who he is...
And now she is falling hard for Mr. Cranky Pants himself.
What is a woman to do?
Well, we won't know much til the next book haha...
I normally don't like cliffhangers but I have read many shorts that get published fairly close to each other so it's not too bad. And the story is well worth the five stars I am giving it.
Again I suggest you read the previous books before this one.
Book 4 -
In the previous story, Katie learns who her stalker is... Taken aback yes she is but will that stop this determined female who is so deeply in love now with her stalker that there is no turning back?
The author wraps up Katie and Ian' story so nicely.
This couple completes each other in so many ways. Absolutely adored this couple.
Read to the end for a sneak peek at whose story is next. I am already excited...

I love the stalker romance!
The stalker is not really a stalker, he is just a guy that really likes this girl and wants to help her out financially and keep track of how she is doing because he knows she is alone in the world. He does this behind the facade of “Stalker” because he has his own issues and is a recluse.

Wow....just wow. Not gonna lie, when I see the title like Stalker, I think hhhmmm...that could go a couple of different ways, but when it's attached to JS Scott's name...I also think....I would read anything she wrote, heck if it was about trash bags, I would totally one click it. And this series/collection did not disappoint, ate their books up, so good. But I want to be very clear about this, there was NO kidnapping, NO forced anything, this was just a story of someone taking care of someone else....from a distance.
Starts out with Katie aka Kate at her graduation giving her valedictorian speech and that's the moment her "stalker" noticed her and started taking care of her aka watching out for her and other thoughtful things. She had just lost her mom and her dad was pretty much worthless. She ends up gaining a family through her step mom, who was a total sweetheart, and her 2 step brothers. Kate's dad ends up passing away a few years after her mom. When she is at the funeral gathering, at her stepmom's, she is so distraught, and is pulled into the boathouse by a total stranger....let me just tell you, one of the hottest scenes I have ever read...which is saying something. These two are combustive with their heat level. After their hot af tryst, they go their separate ways. Kate lands her dream job with her step brothers, the one she is very close to and the reclusive one that she will end up working close with.
This was a safe read, yes....very, very safe. She was a virgin...until the whole boathouse scene...whew. Hot AF scenes with off the charts chemistry. No om or ow drama at all. An epilogue and hea. Great storyline and of course very well written. If you want to get caught up in another case of...just one more chapter, just one more chapter, then this is the series for you. Psst...next couple please....nowish. #SubtleLikeAMackTruck

I listened to the audio for this. It was brilliant.
The narrators did a great job and made it a pleasure to listen to.
I loved that this was the complete collection and there was no wait between parts.

I love this stalker bookset! Ian and Katie’s story is amazing. Ian has stalked Katie for a long time protecting her and helping her and Katie has no clue. Katie meets Ian one day he’s a mean grump and full of scars. But Katie has determination to get Ian to see more. But Katie still doesn’t know the truth. Will everything go down hill? I love stalker books and alpha men and this one definitely hits the spot! 5/5 stars

Part One in Dearest Stalker series by Lane Parker/J. S. Scott. Listening on audible narrators Elizabeth Powers and Dexter Collins
Kate is a student trying to finish her college but unexpectedly her dead beat rich father dies and she goes to funeral.
This is were she realises her totally alone at 22 with both parents dead. That’s where her fantasy man finds her and seduces her taking her virginity.
That’s when she finds out her mobile was given to her by her ‘stalker’ not her father.
Her father walked out on her and her mother and also didn’t send financial help, which Katie step family was very annoyed about.
Part of me found this a bit weird but now I’m hooked and I’ve got to find out who the ‘Stalker’ is.
I didn’t mind Katie character but she didn’t see her stepbrothers or stepmother as family even when they gave her a place to live and wanted to help while she was trying to finish school and find a job but she’s really reluctant to take help and personally comes across has harsh and ungrateful at time.
This audiobook is done with duel narration and I absolutely love that the female narrator does the female parts and the male narrator does the male parts. The narration is really great and absolutely love Dexter Collins sexy voice
Part Two in Dearest Stalker series by Lane Parker/J. S. Scott.
Katie finds out the her mobile school cost have all been paid by her ‘Stalker’ and starts messaging him and getting very one liners back. Kate says going through people to try figure get who is her ‘Stalker’
When ‘Stalker’ finds out Kate thinks her money’s come from her father. he breaks her heart and tells her it’s from ‘Stalker’.
He turns up in middle of night but Kate wakes up with a blindfold on and then he ties her up and has he sexy way with her.
‘Stalker’ is very reluctant for kate to see who he is which keeps me totally hooked, desperately wanting to who if it her stepbrother or her jock high school friend. Which were given clues in this book
Again fantastic narration
Part Three in Dearest Stalker series by Lane Parker/J. S. Scott.
Kate finally meets Ian Blackwell her oldest stepbrother but when she meets him she finds out he’s badly scarred from a car accident that killed his father.
Kate starts a job at Blackwell and realises Ian is very lonely and alienates people around him.
Kate decides to question her ‘Stalker’ and finds out he’s known her from high school and he might have a light issue.
Ian has been trying to keep a distance from Katie.
One night at work Katie makes a comment about being a stepbrother and that’s when Ian snaps and makes it clear that he wants to have sex her but doesn’t see himself as a good guy so doesn’t wants a relationship.
In this part of the book Katie and Ian’s relationship changes and becomes sexual but the whole time Ian doesn’t think he’s good enough.
What really like about this part of the series of books is the insecurity of both Katie and Ian. Katie is self conscious about being a bigger curvy women and Ian has massive ptsd from car accident that scarred him badly but also killed his father.
FINALLY find out who is her secret ‘Stalker’
Part Four in Dearest Stalker series by Lane Parker/J. S. Scott.
So in the throws of passion Kate realises her ‘Stalker’ is Ian, her scarred ptsd stepbrother.
In this book lots of information comes to light. Kate’s step-family had been to her high school graduation and that’s when Ian started to obsess over Kate. she realises she has more family that she thought.
Ben also finds out that Kate had been getting Ian to come out of his shell and to slowly socialise.
Ian slowly tries to romance Kate after she cuts everything off because he’d lied to her about him being ‘stalker’ and after she found out who he was felt he was playing games but for Ian he was just scared she would accept a madly scarred loner.
Absolutely loved that all parts of the book was narrated with voices and not just them ready a chapter each but actually read female and male voices separately.
Loved the teaser with Ariel and Ben now I’ve got to find out if they’ve got a story.
Even though I thought the storyline was a bit weird in end I loved it.

The Dearest Stalker Boxset as all four part of the Dearest Stalker in one book. Even though the parts are all together I took a break after each part.
Part 1:
Katherine Riley is a smart hard working girl. She has no family. He mom passed away and her Dad really didn't have anything to do with her. When her Dad passes away she really feels that she is alone in the world. Friends and family call her Katie but her stalker calls her Kate. She's the underdog and I'm rooting for her to come out on top. Her stalker has been keeping tabs on her for a while. He seems nice, he just wants to make sure she is taking care off. Her stalker makes this an interesting read. We get his POV as well as Kate's POV but just like Kate we don't get to find out his identity. I'm hooked on this serial and can't wait to see where this goes and who her stalker is.
Part 2:
So starting this one, I'm still right there with Katie trying to figure out who her stalker is. Ben is kind of the front runner but then we met Doug. Doug is someone who Katie went to school with. Could Doug be the stalker? As I read on Katie takes people of her list as possible stalker. At the end of Part 2 I'm thinking stalker is someone different then who I thought he was going into Part 2 but I'm sure Part 3 is going to change my idea.
Part 3:
Going into Part 3, I had an idea of who I thought stalker was and I was waiting for the author to throw me off and make me think differently. In Part three Katie kind of switches from trying to figure out who her stalker is to becoming friends with Ian. Ian is a troubled guy but he lets his walls down a little and eventual lets Katie in. Oh and is this one we fund out who stalker is.
Part 4:
I loved the last part of this story. With the stalker real identity out there and it's time for both Katie and Stalker to come to terms with things. This part was the perfect ending to the story.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
4 1/2 Stars!

Katie has had a tough life and it only gets worse when her dad dies as she feels so alone. She has been poor all her life but has had financial support through the end of her education and was grateful for her fathers limited contribution to her life! But there are twists and turns as life is not as it seems and something strange happens at her fathers funeral that changes her life! She then discovers she has a stalker who takes advantage or does he! She doesn't know who he is and she has 2 or 3 possible men who could be the stalker! Her two step brothers look after her, in their own unique ways. She gets her happy ending and the books ends with her best friend meeting someone who is clearly going to change her life too! A short read but enjoyable.

Such a beautiful story of a love that almost wasn't. Sparks were flying through the entire book and such a wonderful story of 2 people who were meant to be and overcame obstacles to get there. Lane Parker does an outstanding job keeping the readers attention.

Loved it. Gripped me in and i read it in one go

I love it when an author dares to be different. Ms. Parker finds inspiration in being unique and I have quickly become a fan. Dearest Stalker finds boldness in subtlety. Lane Parker takes readers on what feels like a head trip in the most intriguing of ways. Katie and Ian danced their way into emotions with their unconventional courtship. He's her guardian angel, she's his unsuspecting muse. Can the stalker change his ways and become the man of her dreams?

So call me biased, I don't care! J. S. Scott is one of my favorites! It matters not what pen name is used. This writer consistently produces stories that reel you in from the beginning. Don't let the title of the book dissuade you. Download it and prepare for a treat. Enjoy!

A very Fantastic read.
This collection was very, very good. I waited until all four parts came out to read it. You do have to suspend reality a bit to read it, because falling for your stalker would never happen in the real world. But then again, I wouldn't call the Hero, who I won't name because I don't want to spoil the reveal, though I did guess his identity in the first chapter of the first part, a true stalker. Technically, in order to be a stalker, the object of your obsession would have to fear you and be afraid for their physical safety. Kate was NEVER afraid of Stalker. So though he saw himself as a stalker, he was more of a silent benefactor and secret admirer than a stalker. But other than suspending reality a bit, this story was very moving and deep. The character development was amazing considering this collection is technically erotic romance. The way the author wrote about loss and guilt and how to move past it was amazingly deep and moving. The writing does get a little sappy at times but most romances do at some point or another, or they wouldn't be romances. The heat in this book was off the charts and the emotion believable and moving. I would recommend this book to anyone who enjoys romances with scenes of steamy, melting intimacy.

This was horrible. I liked the idea, but the writining was weird; there were some weird phrases thrown in, and it was so repetitive. I skimmed after 30% to find out who is the stalker, but I couldn't find out why exactly he became obssessed with her, and I couldn't torture myself listening to the audiobook anymore. I, also, didn't like how in every single chapter (as far as I listened) Katie says or thinks that she's unattractive, because she's curvy.

The boxset of Dearest Stalker contains four parts. Having this available in this form is great because you have all four parts of the book in one place. When I first learned of Dearest Stalker, only parts one and two were available so I decided to wait on the completion of the story. I am not a fan of cliffhangers and avoid them usually. I kept checking this author’s Goodreads page to keep on top of when the last two parts were released. And oh, what I happy day it was to get an email from Parker Lane’s PA who asked if I would be interested in reading the box set. Well…duh…no brainer there.
Each of the four parts is around 50 or so pages long. When I started reading, I couldn’t put it down. The pace of the story is pretty fast. In addition to that fact, I devoured the story so eager to get to the end. After the first part, the rest of the story was predictable with the one exception. I knew the s*it would hit the fan, but wasn’t sure how the author would take us there.
Kate has a stalker. She has had a stalker for the four years she was in college. Working on a degree, Kate wants to work in technical engineering. Her dream job is to one day work for the Blackwood company and be part of the technology that successfully creates robotic surgery. Kate’s stepbrothers are Blackwoods. Since she was estranged from her father, she does not know her stepbrothers very well. As the story progresses with each part, Kate becomes closer to the Blackwoods AND her stalker who is always there watching. I will tell you now that this is not a creepy stalker story. As I said earlier, I don’t want to ruin any of the story so you’ll just have to read it on your own. I definitely recommend this boxset.
The characters are wonderful. All of them. There is a complexity to both Kate and her stalker. Also, there is definitely character development. Also, this book is angsty and emotional. It’s sexy and intimate and you can’t help but to love everything about it. I really enjoyed this gem.
Even better……at the end of the book we get a glimpse of the next book which will feature Ben Blackwood and Kate’s friend, Ariel. Can’t wait for that one. At this point I’m not sure if it will be one book or in parts. If it is in parts, I guess I’ll just have to be patient, lol.
This is my honest and unbiased review. Thank you for taking the time to read it. :)

Kate Riley has, after graduating top of her class from her Florida High School, gone off to college in Massachusetts. She is grateful that her absentee father has finally stepped up and started paying for her tuition and living expenses. He wasn't around for her mom and her growing up, having left and married into money. When he passes away four years later, Kate finds out that instead of her father doing it all for her, it was Stalker . A stranger who claims he just wants to take care of her.... until he wants more.
This story started out as a four-part installment series written by Lane Parker (aka J.S. Scott) so some of the chapter's end in a cliffhanger fashion but luckily they are combined now, so no waiting.
Dearest Stalker is a unique take on the hidden pursuer trope. There are no creepy messages or delusional photoshopped pictures. Not terrified woman running for her life. Instead this more of a Cyrano de Bergerac type story where the go between are text messages and dark places. I did figure out who Stalker was pretty early on and while you would think that it would have made the story less interesting instead it made it more. Because it wasn't some psycho allowed me to mentally encourage Kate to engage with him. Yeah, I know that doesn't exactly make sense, but it's a suspense book so I don't want to give away too much.
Kate is an open book type of character. Deeply fractured because of a father who wanted nothing to do with her and the passing of her mom, whom she adored and was her only family member, Kate is a adrift without an anchor. Her best friend, Ariel, also not in a place of stability, can offer her support but not real place to land. While she is smart and not naive the image she has of herself is less than glowing and based on her inner feelings versus reality.
As the story progresses there are instances that some readers will balk at. Moments of "why, why would you do that?" but they speak to Kate's deep sense of loneliness. Ms. Parker's story, at its heart, is about people finding their "person" not stalkers and danger. The Stalker part is what brings you in, the moving, emotional coming together of Kate and "Stalker" is what will keep you reading. A bit like of a offering you a cookie but then surprising you with a basket of brownies.

Hello Hotness! I love this story!
I’m not usually a ‘collection’ reader...they feel too intense to me. I like shorter stories more often because I am a cover to cover reader. But this isn’t really a ‘collection’. It’s a serial. It’s four short books that could easily be one long book. It’s quite easy to read each book at a time if you’re in a rush or to go all the way through if you’ve got time. That’s what I did.
It’s so sexy y’all. Over the top in a big way. Particularly in the beginning. But it comes together perfectly. There’s a slight taboo aspect to it, but it’s very slight. The story begins when he sees her for the first time at her high school graduation. They’re both adults. There’s also a bit of a Beauty and the Beast vibe because he is a scarred hero.
But the stalker issue is just plain hot as it can possibly be! Yes, there’s the stress of having a stalker, but this is not a dark romance. It’s naughty and it makes your heart pound, but it’s not what I’d consider a dark romance. For the record, I am super sensitive towards dark romance. I don’t read it often because it makes me uncomfortable. This story did not make me uncomfortable. This story was just plain hot.
I highly recommend it to everyone who loves short and steamy romance! If you love a nerdy curvy girl and a tortured hero you’ll love this story! I’ve never read this author. But now I’m going to go DEVOUR everything she’s ever written. Cause wow. I truly loved this one!

A Stalker with a difference
Lane Parker (aka JS Scott) has written a thoroughly different enjoyable and sexy story about a woman and the man who is stalking her. Presented for the first time in a Box Set, Dearest Stalker, is a captivating story, and one that will have you not wanting to put it down. With each book more and more is learnt about the complexity of the characters involved and the reasons for the so-called "stalking". Is he really a stalker? Or is he just a man who wants to help the woman in her times of need?
Katherine "Katie/Kate" Riley has had a "stalker" for the past four years, but he has never known. He has stayed in the background ensuring that she has had the opportunity to make her career dreams come true. Having buried her mother four years earlier and now her estranged father, Katie feels lost and alone. that is until Ben Blackwood, her father's stepson arranges for her to live in a guest house on Blackwood property. He also arranges for her to have the chance to work for the company that he owns with his brother.
This is not your typical dark stalker story, instead it is one with complex characters and plenty of emotional development, that will have you wanting only the very best for them. The interactions between Katie and her "stalker" are red hot and extremely sexy. While Katie suffers from some desperately low self-esteem issues, her "stalker" also has some issues of his own.
I really enjoyed this Box Set. Each book drawing me more into the story and really hoping that Katie's dreams can come true. Happily, there was also a hint to the next story from Ms Parker, Ben and Ariel's, Katie's best friend. Now that one will be interesting.
Do yourself a favour and one-click to read this story, you won't be disappointed.

Dearest Stalker Part 1 by Lane Parker
This was a very enjoyable and surprising read for me. The story pulled me in from the start, is well written, has a very interesting take on a “stalker” and was such a great plot idea for a story. I can’t wait for the “rest of the story”. I typically don’t care for cliffhanger stories and usually avoid these books but I totally enjoy this author’s work and will read whatever she writes.
Dearest Stalker Part 2 by Lane Parker
This story was very enjoyable as it is a short story and very easy to read, I read these stories very quickly. The plot pulled me in from the start, is well written, has a very interesting take on a “stalker” and was such a great story idea.
Dearest Stalker Part 3 by Lane Parker
I loved this addition to Parts 1 and 2. I thoroughly have enjoyed this book.
Dearest Stalker Part 4 by Lane Parker
This was a great ending to this series as the author tied everything up together quite nicely. I loved the stalker’s “alpha-ness” and his protective nature toward Kate. She was hurt by all the secrets but once she processed all the reasons the stalker did what he did, she decided life definitely was better with him than without him. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know these two characters and am excited for Ben’s story.

I am so excited that we could get this as a complete set. This is an amazing series with an amazing storyline and characters. What would you do if you had a stalker in your life? How would you react? How would you feel? This series has all those answers but so much more that you will never see coming. This is the first series I have read by Lane Parker and I absolutely loved it. Highly recommend.

Part 3:
Loving this story. It just drags you in deeper and deeper. Wanting to know who Kate's stalker is. Wanting to know if her and Ian are going to be happy. Kate finally meets her other step brother Ian and they hit it off. But is he her stalker? Love this series. I do need the next one .I don't think I can wait until the next one comes out to see what happens. Suspense steamy amazing .

not really a stalker
This should be labeled “My obsessive protector”. Ian is not really a stalker, just someone who watched over Katie for four years (since her mom died and her dad became his stepdad). He watched her from afar. Te way they met did not thrill me, neither did the fact that it took more than half the book or them to meet face to face. However, it was mostly entertaining along the way. Worth a read.

3.5⭐
Agak galau sebenernya mau ngasih rating berapa, antara 3 aja apa 3.5 atau di antaranya?
Tapi karena ku lagi cukup dermawan jadi kukasih 3.5 aja deh meskipun berdasarkan rating system GR ya kagak ngaruh juga siih hasil koma-komaan di belakang itu, wkwkwk.
Intinya ku cukup terhibur sama cerita ini.

Finding your family!
Finding your family! This is about Ian and Kate. After her mother passed away she was all alone. Ian made it his mission to make sure she wasn’t alome and unprotected so he called himself the stalker in the new phone she recieved after HS graduation. It wasn’t until the death of her estranged father that the truth comes out and could she forgive what she finds out? I love the brothers Ben and Ian and her best friend Ariel.

This series has been very enticing along the way. I had the misfortune of reading these as they were released, but then again I couldn't wait for the next one to come out once I started. You my dears are lucky, the whole series is available for you to devour! And you will enjoy ever delish detail. When life threw her curves Kate was always able to survive, but after her father died and some details were revealed letting her know things weren't always what they seem Kate was almost defeated. Then her stalker became a source of confusion and excitement and things go from bad, to worse to bad to good. Like I said life was confusing, after all it's not everyday you fall for your stalker.
