I will kill to keep him.

Oakley

It's a new start—brand new school in a completely different state. For the first time, I now have the freedom to be unapologetically me. But as my luck would have it, I have shit taste in men. The first man to pay me a compliment has so many red flags, that I think I'm in a storm. Life can't get any worse… until he turns into a stalker.

Then my stalker ends up brutally murdered, I walk blindly into a serial killer's nest, and I catch the attention of a sociopath.

Loren

The moment I see Oakley walk into the cafe, I know he's mine. I may be here to finish a job, but it's impossible to concentrate on anything but him. My fascination quickly turns into an obsession, which might be fortunate for him because I think he's trying to get himself killed.

Which is fine; I'll protect him. It doesn't matter how many lives I have to end to make Oakley mine.

I love all the work from this writer and I love the fact she can make you dive so deep into the world she writes.

In this story I love that Loren’s family knows and loved him for who he is and even teased him like any other family would.

Oakley has an amazing group of friends that are clearly his chosen family who only want him happy too

So when the two worlds become one..you know the fun will only get more and more crazy! Can’t wait to read/listen to many more about this family!

Loren is everything I was hoping for when he was introduced in a previous book. It is a hot read for anyone who loves a Dark and depraved man. This MM book is dirty and full of love between the sweet shy guy and the ASPD (physiotherapy).

Dark and Hot!

I get so invested with the characters that I don't want the book to end I wish it was longer I was extremely happy with the story with a narration I put my husband's and the kids to bed and I was really happy

longer

I’ve been dying to read more about Loren since his appearance in “Lucky Shot” & his story does not disappoint. “Loren” has the perfect balance of plot, love, spice & humour - sooooo many hot scenes, it was wild! Loads of yummy details & dreamy dialogue with positions I’ve never considered or seen in other books before. I loved the surprise of how the MCs accommodate each other in their respective emotional & physical needs. Plenty of eyebrow raising moments.
Vocal performances by Nick J Russo & Joshua Macrae were outstanding, especially Russo as Oakley, his needy bedroom voice is so steamy & heightened those scenes exponentially. Chefs kiss!
I’m adding “Loren” to my favourites & will definitely listen to this one again soon. Crea Reitan, thanks for another knockout!

Sweetest sociopath ever! One of Reitan’s best books to date.

I read Loren when the book came out and devoured it. As soon as the audiobook was announced I preordered it, which is something that I rarely do with audio. I listened to the book over 2 days and it was performed brilliantly. I loved how Loren's sociopathy was so well portrayed as well as Oakley's exuberance. The plot is thrilling. Give this a chance and you'll fall in love with the Van Dorens too.

Excellent production of an awesome book

Loren can stalk me anytime. Oakley was so adorable. Narrators were great. This was my first book by this author but it won’t be my last

Hot!

Loren is a well written, beautifully dark MM stalker romance that definitely delivers on its promises. The characters are engaging and the story, while light, is well rounded and enjoyable, and has plenty of spice. The evolving dynamic between Loren and Oakley, as well as the challenges with navigating a new relationship and balancing the ones with old friends is a true joy to listen to. While there are definitely some themes that may not resonate with some listeners, most fans of dark MM stalker romances will enjoy this little gem of a story. Russo and Macrae really bring the characters to life, creating an immersive listening experience that makes the entire story better.

Stalker Done Right

Absolutely loved this one…love the familiarity of the characters from previous books.

This is a whirlwind, intense, erotic romance and had me captivated from the start.

Excellent narration too!

Crazy good

Who doesn't love a serial killer sociopath that only loves and adores you? I thought this was a great intro to the Van Dorens performed brilliantly by Niick J. Russo (a personal favorite) and Joshua Macrea - who is new to me but I grew to love his soft delivery performance in Loren's voice. You can tell the Van Dorens are a unique family that love (in the ways that they can) one another and respect each others differences....I am interested to see where this series goes!

4 Starz - worthy of a repeat listen; worthy of continuing the series

Great Intro 2 The Van Dorens!
