The second our eyes connected, I felt the shift in the air. The crackle of fire igniting between us. He was dark, dangerous, and secretive. He came into my life like a storm, ripping apart everything I believed in, everything I thought I knew. With his mischievous smirk, stunning looks, and alluring behavior, I should’ve ran as far away from him as I could. But I was stupid. I trapped myself in his web. I thought I was safe with him. Safe in his arms, safe from a past that refused to let go. Turns out Christian Russo was the past I was running from, and my first mistake was ever thinking I could escape him.

This is a dark stalker-mafia romance. It contains adult themes, and material that might be triggering to some listeners.

The title really does describe this book. I really enjoyed this stalker romance, and can’t wait to continue the series. The narration threw me off sometimes. But I do listen to it at 1.8x so it may be I missed the pitches in voice. TW/18+ 4.5/stars overall.

I loved the level of Sociopath we got here, the title perfectly sums him up. Storyline-wise, I was a little confused at the beginning, about their history, but eventually figured things out. Towards the end, things were fairly predictable for the cliffhanger, but Christian's antics kept me entertained, and I'm excited to jump right into book 2.

Great Duet Start!

Interesting listen with great narration, it does end on a cliffhanger but as both books are in the Plus Catalog- it’s a win.

Good story

This was my first dark romance on audible and I believe I’m addicted lol. The story line was insane and thank god their is a second book because I NEED to know.

Whew

The only character I liked is Cynthia. Main female is too naive and easily swayed. Christian is a villain and his actions towards are cruel and too stalkerish. Eve if he has a great character arc later I find myself disliking him

Unlikeable characters

This stalker romance is one of my favorite stalker romances. He can not stay away from her and the way he does things is so crazy and I'm here for it. I don't want to give to much away but for sure this is a must read!!

EXCELLENT NARRATION

I had just finished the Cat & Mouse duet and looking for similar vibes and I found them in this duet! While they’re nowhere near as dark, they’re still dark annnnd rough. 😬

Loved it!
