Synopsis from the Author
Charming, deadly, and smart enough to hide it, Christian Harper is a monster dressed in the perfectly tailored suits of a gentleman. He has little use for morals and even less use for love, but he can’t deny the strange pull he feels toward the woman living just one floor below him. She’s the object of his darkest desires, the only puzzle he can’t solve. And when the opportunity to get closer to her arises, he breaks his own rules to offer her a deal she can’t refuse. Every monster has their weakness. She’s his: His obsession. His addiction. His only exception.
Sweet, shy, and introverted despite her social media fame, Stella Alonso is a romantic who keeps her heart in a cage. Between her two jobs, she has little time or desire for a relationship. But when a threat from her past drives her into the arms—and house—of the most dangerous man she’s ever met, she’s tempted to let herself feel something for the first time in a long time. Because despite Christian’s cold nature, he makes her feel everything when she’s with him: Passionate. Protected. Truly wanted.
Theirs is a love twisted with secrets and tainted by lies…and when the truths are finally revealed, they could shatter everything.
Things I Loved & Things I Struggled With
Christian Harper!!! I love a jealous and over-protective man. I'd actually be too scared if it was real life-tho. This man! Is heads over heels for this girl!
It’s so sweet that Stella doesn’t realize how attracted he is to her.
And that unicorn is a favorite touch of mine!
Stella, girl... really made that man beg. And if he wanted to he would. He would even not look at her instagram because she said so! Girl oh girl we love to see how you made that man beg.
I loved seeing a different side of Christian. aka. his writing letters just for Stella when they were away together🥹
Their steamy scenes were like they really be attracting each other.
I loved the slow-burn on this one too much I forgot the time. Their first kiss was like 55% of the freaking book!
This is my second favorite (it would have been number one if it weren't for stalker Christian and the graphic scenes.
What I didn't like is how Christian also acted as a stalker, which in turn was a cause of a conundrum and Stella's heartbreak.
I loved how I got to have a feel for the other characters as well, especially how protective Alex to Ava (when Christian knocked on their door).
I really enjoyed the storyline, it was adequate and backstory was well-provided.
I was giggling and kicking air reading this, until I had to read some steamy scenes in public with a straight face. It hurt.
