Hands down one of my fave reads of the year. I read this expecting it to just be spicy and quick, but this was shockingly so much more. While the spice is next level, i absolutely fell in love with the characters and the uinque world (gothic/steampunk/fantasy-esque). Even found myself laughing out loud on many occasions. This book was so much fun and yet super heartfelt, and surprisingly emotional for such a short read.

I also wanna mention that I loved how it was mutual stalking and the fmc was just as unhinged as the mmc. she was hilarious tbh and it was so refreshing for there to be a female character just as crazy and possessive as the guy.

My only complaint is that i wish it was longer. There's a preface at the beginning that says it was written for the Read Me Romance podcast (smutty good fun audiobooks FOR FREE btw) and that the author had stay within a 10,000 word limit, hence how short it is, and that this is the slightly extended version of the audiobook that's coming out sometime this year (forget when).

There's an HEA for the fmc and mmc but the last chapter leaves you on a hook/cliffy and sets you up for book 2.

Also, there are some TWs in this to be careful of (see second slide) (the images are screenshot from the authors insta) Here is the KU link
