There is something so satisfying about soft girls getting their happy ending with men obsessed with them and their every move and curve ♥️
Don't get me wrong, I love badass FMCs but this book proves that sometimes, you can be broken and soft and more of a "flight" girl than a "fight girl" and that's okay, a stalker will also get to your window, become obsessed with you and buy you the world. And ain't that the dream !
I loved sweet Payton and I obsessed over crazy Nero. The fact that we know so little about him and yet, I understand exactly where his madness comes from and goes to left me speechless. We get a small backstory but mostly it is about him when he is with her, because nothing else exists and I did not know I needed that. His obsession is also the cutest, of course he stalks Payton from across her apartment but hey, it is a dark romance so, pretty standard I would say. But he buys the drinks she likes, steals her body wash because he wants his house to smell like her, gets her a dog because she mindlessly mentions she loves dog and wants one !!! The way I swoon for this guy.
The plot is pretty standard for a mafia romance but SJ Tilly did a great job at covering her tracks and introducing different potential villains so I was still surprised at the end.
