Reader fit
This book is great for
For readers who want their trauma nurse heroine already fluent in what she wants before the plot even starts. Aly isn't seduced into darkness — she orders it off a menu she already had memorized.
- wants a heroine kink-forward from page one, no slow discovery arc
- wants dark romance with legitimately funny banter
- lives for "the internet stranger turned out to be real" as its own genre
- likes a stalker competent, obsessive, and — somehow — the softer one
