This is my first Susan Stoker book, and I listened to the audiobook (included with Kindle Unlimited). It was… ok? It felt like an instalove novella, but romantic suspense. Featured a very protective MMC (although I found it stupid they didn’t get more security around the FMC if they were so worried about her stalker, and honestly the MMC had a few stalker tendencies himself) and a sweet/kind FMC. They’re both madly in love and talking about getting her pregnant within weeks of knowing each other (the sex scenes were pretty hot though). The writing was a bit repetitive at times but overall decent.
I think I had higher expectations for this book, which is why I’m rating it lower than some instalove novellas that are objectively of lower quality. With those instalove novellas, I *expect* a kind of campy, high-steam and OTT ‘love’ story. So.... I guess this is a case of my rating was affected by the marketing.
