A Lovely Obsession by CoraLee June Book Review
I haven’t read many other stalker romances, well the only one I’ve ever read before was the Cat and Mouse Duet by H.D. Carlton…iykyk 😅, so I wasn’t too sure if this is a trope I necessarily liked yet. I’ll tell ya, if they’re done as well as A Lovely Obsession by CoraLee June, I can jump on the stalker train.
Hunter’s obsession with Roe stems from both of their intertwined tragic childhoods and a promise to always keep her safe as part of a “debt” owed. Unknowingly to Roe, Hunter has been a part of her life for a long, long while.
Because of her childhood, Roe only participates in surface-level relationships and numerous meaningless flings. She keeps everyone at an arms distance and makes reckless decisions much to Hunter’s dismay throughout the years.
Since the moment they finally meet, the tension is thickkkkkkkkk. This continues to grow as their encounters increase in frequency and they start testing each other for their own amusement. The banter and chemistry is so good! We definitely have an enemies to lovers situation here.
Let’s also add in the fact that Hunter is also an assassin/hitman for the mafia, and I’m sorry, his hotness meter skyrocketed. This book was the perfect blend of some of my favorite tropes.
However, I do wish there was more of a climax in the plot. The build up was so good but I felt like we needed a bit more action. It kind of fell flat at the end. The ending does end with a cliffhanger and I don’t think I’ve ever downloaded a second book so quickly. I’m so invested in Hunter and Roe!
Oh, I can’t end this without saying something about the poetry in this book. It is beautiful! Coralee, you are so talented. I can’t wait to read more of your books!

A Lovely Obsession Blurb
My guardian angel is a devil in disguise.
He hates me. He protects me.
He watches me.
My stalker is obsessed with keeping me safe. He calls me his prettiest debt.
An assassin in the notorious Bullet gang, he uses his empire to control my life. Everything I know is a lie.
What started as a debt turned into something more. What started as regret turned into obsession.
Ambition is his muse and I am his conscience. Our past may bind us together, but his enemies will tear us apart.
My guardian angel is a devil in disguise.
He hates me. He protects me.
And I think I love him.
I’m so excited to jump into book two in this duet and see what in the world is going to happen with Hunter and Roe. That cliffhanger hurt. I have no idea where this next book will go! Love a good morally grey and obsessive MMC’s? Enjoy romantic suspense? This duet is for you!
