BLURB:
Doing Deaf drag isn’t supposed to come with threats to my life, damn it. I’ve had a stalker before, and apparently—even after involving my friend from the FBI—he’s decided to come back and make my life hell.
But this time, however, a slightly terrifying stranger shows up to play hero.
He knocked my stalker on his ass and left me with blood smears on my jaw and a kiss on my lips so devastating, it threatened to rearrange my whole life. And then he disappeared into the shadows.
But just when I think I’ll never see him again, I find him haunting my steps everywhere I turn.
It’s not long before I realize hunting me might be his love language, and god help me, I think I’m into it. Especially when each time he catches me, he leaves me breathless and wanting more.
My stalker is still around, but being with Archie is worth whatever the unwelcome blast from my past wants to throw at me.
After all, having a boyfriend with a thing for knives, coffins, and funeral flowers is a great way to protect myself, and if his obsession and love for me isn’t enough to take my stalker down, my determination to get my happily ever after will.
Hunt Me is the first book in the morally grey rom-com series Murder Hearts. It’s a spicy, MM stalker-to-lover romance with forced proximity, coffins as a special interest, an Autistic MC, a Deaf Drag Queen who doesn’t have time for anyone’s BS, stalking as a love language, a set of lovable murder brothers, an unhinged cat café, and a steamy, swoony, happily ever after.
REVIEW:
Denver was saved from being strangled by a stalker in an alley, saved by a stranger, a beautiful guy, who vanished after giving him a soft kiss.
By day Denver is a college teacher, by night he’s a successful Drag queen, he’s Deaf, sometimes uses a hearing device, and speaks ASL.
Seeking online he found his savior. His family owns a cat cafe.
Archie saved Denver and disappeared, not quite, only just from Denver’s view, because he watches him, always.
Archie comes from a ruthless, morally grey family, dealing arms, drugs, and killing people. He lives with his two brothers. He has autism and is hyperfixated on things, in this case Denver.
Denver in return is stalking Archie, the man is intriguing as fuck. He loves cats and coffins, and is often to be found at the cemetery, besides that, the man saved him and is so attractive.
Let’s not forget Denver has a stalker, and the threat is getting serious. Archie is protective and promised to eliminate the stalker. That was easier said than done.
While it’s a dark read, there are lighthearted funny interactions. The spicy scenes are jummy, and the mutual obsession and possessiveness were great.
The deaf and autistic sides of the characters are so well written. I really loved getting to know Denver and Archie, they are great characters.
Percy and Milo are Archie’s brothers, and Nico is his best friend. We can witness some bloody action; it’s not without reason they are morally grey.
Can’t wait for the next in this series!
