BLURB
From USA Today Best Selling author Mary Catherine Gebhard comes a brand new dark romcom about a girl who makes a dating profile to live out all of her spicy, bookish fantasies.
He was all my twisted, dark book boyfriend fantasies come to life. Masked. Tattooed. Dirty talking—and totally unhinged.
Morally grey? Check.
Stalker? Check.
A very illegal, very bloody hobby? Check.
Possessive, obsessive, and calls me a good girl? Check. Check. Check.
I should probably call the police.
I definitely shouldn’t take dirty selfies because I know he hacked my phone.
But what’s a girl to do?
It’s my very own stalker romance.

MY REVIEW

About the Author:
I started writing the moment I could read. My first characters were Wibbley and Squig and I used MS Word and clipart to bring them to life when I was a kid in elementary school. I started seriously thinking about being a writer in High School and I remember the day exactly, because it was such an epiphany. I was always so uncertain. You know how everyone was always asking what you wanted to be when you were older? Well I NEVER could decide.
I wanted to be a marine biologist.
An actor.
A FIRE FIGHTER (thank you Joaquin Phoenix in Ladder 49 for that phase).
One day it hit me—A WRITER. I could do it ALL. Then you couldn’t stop me from writing. I penned my first novel at fifteen (but don’t ask me to show it to you, because it’s like I was in competition to beat the thesaurus). When I was diagnosed with a chronic illness, writing became even more important, because it became my therapy. When I wrote my characters, suddenly I wasn’t so alone.
These days you can find me daydreaming about where to travel with my husband, singing in my car, or lost in the newest K drama. And planning my next novel, of course

This is the first book I have read by this author and I think the title is fitting because I am off to do some light stalking. I saw the sign up for this book and I was hooked. I had to get my hands on it, and I am so freaking glad I did. I don’t read loads of dark romance because I am a bit of a wuss, but I figured a dark romcom couldn’t be too dark.
Shay made me feel weak and stupid without breaking a sweat and I loved her so much for it. She was slightly crazy and I couldn’t get enough of her. And she was so smart and yet so trusting and naive in the same breath but the way she made Calder sweat was a thing of beauty.
But Oh My God Calder was everything. That man put most book boyfriends to shame and he just kept getting better. The way he loved and looked after Shay was incredible. Even when he was reluctant he still put her first and did everything he could to keep her safe and make things better for her.
The secondary characters were great and I am really hoping her sister and their friends are getting a book of their own. Although I will also accept a book for either of Calder’s siblings or Butcher. Actually I don’t care who it is, I just want more please. But the tension in the epilogue has me hoping that was a sign from the author. Anyway I am off to start my stalking career.
He was her first bad decision.
He never stopped wanting to be her last.
Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestselling author Kristen Hope Mazzola returns to the ice with the next installment in her Shots on Goal: MN Frosthawks series—where chemistry is dangerous, and some lines were never meant to be crossed.
Ty “Buzz” Burns was never supposed to come back into Lucy Thomas’s life.
Not after high school.
Not after the mistake that ended everything.
Because Lucy didn’t just move on—she rebuilt.
A life where reckless boys like Buzz don’t belong.
Except now he does.
Buzz plays for the Minnesota Frosthawks.
The team her father owns.
The team she works for.
The one place she can’t avoid him.
He’s still chaos on the ice—fast, loud, impossible to ignore.
But this version of him doesn’t disappear when things get hard.
He shows up.
He stays.
And the more they’re forced into the same space, the harder it becomes to ignore the truth—
This isn’t over. It never was.
Lucy has everything to lose—her career, her father’s trust, the life she’s built.
Buzz has one chance to prove he’s not the boy who broke her.
But wanting each other has never been the problem.
Walking away is.
Wild Card #13 was supposed to stay in the past.
This time, it might be the one mistake they can’t walk away from.

Vicious Obsession by Mila Kane is now live!
She thinks they’re enemies.
He thinks they’re inevitable
Brody
Discipline is everything.
It dragged me out of my past.
Turned me into a college hockey star.
Prepared me to inherit my father’s billion-dollar empire.
I’ve lived my life by careful control, rigorous routines and strict self-restraint.
Then she moves in down the hall. Chaos in human form.
She’s self-destructive, reckless, and impossible to predict with a mouth designed to offend.
The girl is fearless, and she treats me like no one else has ever dared to.
She’s exactly the kind of girl I should stay far away from. A distraction like no other.
Instead, my father puts me in charge of her.
Now her mess is my responsibility. Her mistakes are mine. Her attitude is my problem. Her late nights are mine to answer for.
And the more I try to control her… the more obsessed I become.
She’s beautifully broken, and I can’t stay away.
I want to keep her exactly where she is—
under my control.

Sometimes I see the tropes and trigger warnings on these books and get a little nervous. I like dark, bully romances but I never feel “ready” to read them. Then I get to the end and I don't know if the book is genuinely not that dark or I'm just desensitised. Now in the case of this book, if SA, anxiety and panic attacks are triggers for you then maybe give this a miss or read it in a way that is safe for you. But as far as some of the darker bullying, idk this book doesn't have that, but it didn't need it.
Everything about Selena and Brody was intense and I wasn't ready for him. I started the book feeling very sympathetic to Selena but she also annoyed me a little. Until Brody bullied her into finding her backbone. And then I think I loved her as much as I loved him. Because his growth was beautiful and hot af. The way he pursued Selena and then how hard he loved her was romance gold.
The twists and turns were beautifully executed and I am so sad the book has ended. I am really hoping that we are going to get Cal's book next.
