these books are always entertaining, but this story in particular was very captivating and enthralling because it had dark elements to it. was this a dark billionaire romance? no, but the way the author not only wrote but handle the stalker plotline gave a hint of suspension and thriller to this that made it stand out from the previous books in this series, rising to one of my top stories from the marni mann universe. hopefully, the future books in the series and spin-offs will give me this same edge
