Narrators: Elena Wolfe and Jacob Morgan

When I read the blurb for this one and found out the author wrote it after she posted an impromptu video about a book she’d write based on a TikTok video she stitched, I knew exactly I was getting into. With a list a mile long of trigger warnings, this is an over the top “dark rom com” stalker romance with a morally gray hero who’s unexpectedly loyal, caring and respectful (sorta) and a heroine who’s way darker than she herself thought she was. It was absolute fun seeing these two sort off fumble into a very sweet and VERY spicy romance. 

What you get: Aly – a trauma nurse with a mask kink. Josh – a tech nerd with a dark past who moonlights as a masked internet personality who posts some dark but sexy thirst trap videos. A little detail: Josh is Aly’s ex’s best friend and roommate.  Add an accidental killing, an unexpected mafia connection and you get some dark but funny situations. LOL funny specially when you add Aly’s cat. 

This is narrated by Elena Wolfe and Jacob Morgan in duet, which was the perfect choice. They’re narration gold in this, especially in the several “inner monologue”moments which are quite hilarious. 

I love how Elena portrays the sassy, “don’t mess with me” Aly and how Jacob can make a stalker absolutely alluring and charming while scary. 

The only thing I didn’t exactly like about this is how overly descriptive the text is (nope, not talking about the spicy stuff LOL). Every single person, place or situation is described to the minimum detail and, if I were reading, I would definitely skim over it – which I can’t do in audio. 

Overall, it’s a fun experience. Yes, check the trigger warnings, but it’s a lot lighter than you’d think. Have fun!
