About this ebook
For fans of Lights Out and You, this follow-up to Love Me Stalk Me is a dark rom-com about a woman matched with her fantasy boyfriend by an AI app—unaware he’s actually her ex-husband, back to win her over in disguise.
When Amanda Bennett signs up for the beta feature of the Obsess AI boyfriend app, she thinks it’s just another marketing gimmick. Go on a date with a real man who matches her digital fantasy? Spoiler: she’s skeptical.
Then the app delivers. Her match is hot, brooding, motorcycle included. Perfect—except he refuses to remove his helmet, won’t share his name, and somehow knows things about her no stranger should.
Because he’s not a stranger. He’s Kade Steele, her ex-husband. The one who disappeared. The one she’s spent years trying—and failing—to forget. Now he’s back and determined to win her heart. With a little romance, a little mystery, and a deeply questionable amount of stalking.
She thought she was moving on. Instead, she’s falling for the one man who broke her heart…and this time, he’s not letting go.

So yummy. Dark, twisty, dramatic and emotional, this book wasted exactly zero extra seconds before pulling me in and having me captivated. Amanda and Kade/Chad's story has more than enough ups, downs and twists to give your heart a high-intensity workout, that trust me is sure to leave a mark.

Wow. Absolutely delicious. Really love the bonds between Cal, Kade, and Jake. Kade’s interactions with Amanda are so cute and dark at the same time. Scenes are absolutely unpredictable, and it left me speechless at times. I would say this might be better than the first book of the series, but it’s forgivablr since it’s the debut book of the author. Amanda’s a strong woman too, reminding me of Aly from Lights Out. She is so strong for herself at tough times. Leaving me waiting for the next book.
