About this listen
Madison is trying her best to escape a life of poverty. Young, innocent, and guarded. She’s finally getting ahead when she witnesses a murder outside the dance studio and finds herself in deep with a dark and dangerous criminal.
Archer is smitten by Madison from the moment they meet. The protocol says to leave no witness behind but he can’t imagine hurting her. Against his best judgment he lets her go, but he can’t seem to get her out of his head.
Like a stalker he follows her, making certain she doesn’t spill about what she’s seen.
Then one night he watches her through the window of the studio as she dances. She’s so beautiful, and angelic. He decides then that no matter the cost, or blood spilled, she will be his … his ballerina.

She was a shy little virgin, looking to rebel. I was a bad accident waiting to happen. I’m the bad boy your parents warn you about. I’ve been to prison, killed for someone I love, and now I’m suffering through college. Then I see her…sweet, so naïve it hurts, and of course beautiful. She’s scared of me the moment we lock eyes, but beneath that fear is curiosity. From that moment on I’m consumed with a need to make her mine, to claim her...but when my past collides with my future, will I risk the chance of going back to prison to protect yet another person I love?

I made a vow to protect her when we were just kids. First, from the monsters hiding under the bed and then the ones roaming the world freely. My obsession with Dove wasn’t normal. It toed the line on psychotic, but my love for her overshadowed that. I’d killed, destroyed, and hurt those who had done her wrong. I’d watched her for years wanting to claim her but refusing to. I was both her guardian angel and a demon lurking in the shadows. She was mine, even though she didn’t know it yet.

The next thing I knew, I was on a cross-country drive to New Hampshire where I’d be moving in to look after Scottie until I could get him into a group home. The last thing I ever expected?

The second our eyes connected, I felt the shift in the air. The crackle of fire igniting between us. He was dark, dangerous, and secretive. He came into my life like a storm, ripping apart everything I believed in, everything I thought I knew. With his mischievous smirk, stunning looks, and alluring behavior, I should’ve ran as far away from him as I could. But I was stupid. I trapped myself in his web.

The second our eyes connected, I felt the shift in the air. The crackle of fire igniting between us. He was dark, dangerous, and secretive. He came into my life like a storm, ripping apart everything I believed in, everything I thought I knew. With his mischievous smirk, stunning looks, and alluring behavior, I should’ve ran as far away from him as I could. But I was stupid. I trapped myself in his web.

WHAT was this narration choice??
This review strictly applies to the audiobook adaptation. Lilly Drake was amazing, her soft voice and firm personality was perfectly suited. Griswold? I'm sorry, but WHAT?? Did anyone tell him this was a ROMANCE novel? LIke, Smut. NOT a read of Home Alone. I have never been so unsettled by a narrator. I was exptremely uncomfortable. Dear god.
I loved this story, the pace was perfect for the drama and with the PROPER character choice it was easy to imagine and follow along. This is a very particular genre and can fall apart with the wrong casting choices. It goes from steamy insta-love to creepy grooming in no time flat. It could just be me, but I think a casting change could go a long way here. This would be a 1 star review based on him.
Seeing that he was cast for the rest of the series, I won't be purchasing the rest.

Quick, easy read, spicy
Not a believable story, could have been a bit longer of a timeline
But still enjoyable. The narrative accents were not good.

Conflicted...
I was initially intrigued by the summary, which is weird because I don't really love stalker love. Also the summary is a little misleading as it becomes clear that he doesn't really believe she'd say anything. I will say this, and it feels slightly say it, but I think the stalking should have been prolonged a week. At built on the premise of him being her guardian or something.
I'm conflicted because I think there's something in the story that could have worked. Maybe it was Griswold's narration, but Lilly had him use a very similar accent. Also, what was that accent? New York? New Jersey? It's a very coastal accent, and I don't think it helped the story.

Mismatched Narrator
Note: Authors should really be more selective in matching narrator’s voices to their characters.
The story wasn’t awful, for a short novella, but in all honesty the voice of the MMC in the audiobook, didn’t suit the tough guy Mafia image. Instead the male narrator Griswold Addams, had a noticeable NYC Jewish sounding voice (absolutely no offense, it just didn’t fit the role). That being said, his sexy-time voice was also, decidedly UN-sexy.

Good Story
It was a great short story. The female narrator was wonderful. The male narrator was also very good, but absolutely did NOT fit the character it made it very difficult to follow the story.  the love scene that is narrated by him was so cringey. He’s not a bad narrator just not the right style and fit for this type storyline

The female reader.
It was okay for a Dark Romance. Some parts the male voices did was a bit cringe during the mature reads, but overall an okay story.
