**Narration for this audiobook has been conducted in duet style.
Obsession was a five-letter word. Ten years in the making. And her name was Emily.
But the real question was who was I?
When my pretty little pet leaned forward, offered me a view of her cleavage, and tried to make a deal, I said why the hell not?
Five days. Thirty minutes. She could ask me anything to her heart’s content. Anything but my name. She had to figure that one out on her own.
It should have been easy enough. I was the man she stole from, whose life she ruined, whose future she destroyed.
I was the man she left behind, and she was…mine.

I decided in preparation For Lamb ( book two of the series) to come out to revisit one of my Favorites so Far for 2025. Each book in the Renegades series is a stand alone dark Romance based on fairy tales and fables.
Skin is A Psychotic Romance set partially inside a decommissioned Insane asylum. This is a VERY Dark Story and does have many triggers that some will find disturbing.
I loved this book, though its said Happy Ever After, as many Grimm Fairytells tell us it's not always perfect. Depending on how you look at it this is classic Stockholm Syndrome. But in the end the Mad Doctor does get the girl.
My favorite part of this book is its honest raw look at what grief can do to a person. The good doctor with plans for the future, and it be ripped from him. Yes he has a lack of people skills, and is neurodivergent with psychotic tendencies beforehand makes him go extreme in it. But looking at all he lost in the blink of an eye, hehe, I don't think many people wouldn’t lose themselves. When it comes down to it, we all meticulously plan for our future and when it doesn’t go the way we want we have a mental snap. Maybe not to the extreme of The MMC, but there are cases every day of this. From Black Widows, to Hikikomori Syndrome, Bombing Shooting ect.
If you can Handle the triggers Give this book a shot. Even Better Listen to it on Audio, because Sean Masters and Maeve York do a phenomenal reading.

Just to be VERY clear; this story is pretty far from even the darkest of what you might call romance. The dude is seriously terrifying in his delusional obsession. More on the realistic stalker scary side than the sexy devoted kidnapper we so often see in dark romances. The sex scenes are definitely hot if you like things on the darker and possibly less than consensual side. The focus isn’t really on the smut though there is a decent amount. It really focuses on the absolute unreasoning delusional obsession of a stalker. The dual POVs and duet narration are well done. Timeline jumps back and forth a bit but it wasn’t annoying or hard to follow. I guess you could maybe say it has a HEA…. It did just kind of end leaving me feeling like stuff didn’t really get resolved. Not in a cliffhanger way though. If your into darker stuff then I would say ya give this one a chance, it’s worth a credit to add it to your dark and twisted collection 😏😈

I loved how we started in the present, and made us wonder what the heck happened, and why is he so upset. Going back in time was fun. Had me thinking “oh so he was always crazy, but now he’s just unhinged.” Lol. I know he was very clearly in the wrong the entire book, yet I can’t help but feel for him.
