Have to give it a lower rating than I want to. It has potential to be great but I felt it gets very odd in terms of what sets off one of the main character’s motivation to turn into a creep villain, even if they may not want to be. I feel like it could have gone a different direction bc it almost completely threw me off of wanting to root for them as a couple. I was also craving more from other interesting characters and their relationships with the main characters but felt it fell a Little short at times. 
The ending sweetened the middle for me, though. I also recommend you look at the author’s playlist, especially for the New Year’s Eve scene. It makes the moment you read it fantastic, especially if you really visualize as a reader. The song is fantastic and I couldn’t get enough.

Wow. This is my first read by Sav R. Miller and I was not disappointed. 

I have been hooked on this book ever since I read the blurb for it. I couldn’t put it down once I started reading and annotated/tabbed the hell out of it because I wanted to be able to pick it back up and enjoy what I thought my first time around. 

I loved the stalker romance/bully trope because it was written in a way where it’s not over doing it for the reader and their relationship doesn’t have that creepy Stockholm syndrome dynamic which was enjoyable. Their banter and seeing them genuinely fall for each other throughout the story was amazing and if you thought  the chemistry in their first meeting was great, expect it too get better by the end! Aiden (MMC) was truly possessive of and obsessed with Riley (fmc) since he’s been following her around in order to get the truth behind a rumor he believes she started after their auction date, which ruined his reputation while she left NYC and started a new life. 

We get a reunion 3 years after the incident and it only gets better from there. I definitely recommend if you haven’t read already. Can be read as a stand-alone but a side character is mentioned throughout the story from the first book in the series.

I knew he was an anti-hero but what the hell! This was disturbing and questionable at times but I can't stop thinking about how attractive he is. 
I said goodbye to good morals with this one.

P.s: Everything happening in here is not good, remember this is fiction, do not romanticize this behavior.
