Love Me Stalk Me

 

She thought she was sexting an AI boyfriend. He was very real and already obsessed. 

Love Me Stalk Me by Laura Bishop is a bold, buzzy, bedroom-door-wide-open romance that leans hard into obsession and the he falls first fantasy and has a blast doing it.

Izzy is a stressed manager at a high-end department store. She’s stuck in a soul-sucking relationship with a man who treats her like an afterthought. Looking for a safe place to vent, she downloads an AI boyfriend app for emotional release and late-night flirting. What she doesn’t know? The “AI” on the other end is very real. Cal, the store’s dangerously attractive new head of security, has been listening in, falling fast, and quietly hacking his way into Izzy’s digital life. When Izzy thinks she’s sexting an algorithm, she’s actually building an intimate connection with the man watching her back at work.

As sparks fly in real life and Izzy finally breaks free from her awful boyfriend, the story takes a darker turn. When Izzy is put in real danger, Cal’s devotion shifts from secretive to protective. He’s all in. No hesitation. No half-measures.

This audiobook is spicy, fast-paced, and unapologetically over-the-top. The dual POV works beautifully here, letting listeners sit inside both Izzy’s vulnerability and Cal’s intense, slightly unhinged devotion. CJ Bloom and Sebastian York absolutely understand the assignment. Their performances are confident and sultry. They perfectly matched to the story’s tone.

While I found the story entertaining, Cal’s cyber-stalking crossed into slightly uncomfortable territory for me. This one lives firmly in fantasy-land. If obsessive, morally gray heroes are your thing, you’ll probably eat this up.

Thanks to Simon & Schuster Audio for the complimentary listen. Love Me Stalk Me is out now. If you’re in the mood for a spicy romance with obsession, protection, and zero chill from the male lead, this one delivers. 

qotd: do morally gray romance heroes work for you? Or is that a hard no?
