What happens when a woman falls in love with her stalker?I’m not the type of woman who actually inspires passion in any guy, much less one who makes it a habit to watch me because he’s obsessed.I’m a curvy, plain Jane. I like my chips, chocolate, and junk food, and it definitely shows.I’m an educated geek who would rather have my nose in a computer instead of a fashion magazine.But none of those … magazine.
But none of those things seem to matter to Stalker. He sees something in me that I don’t see in myself, and I don’t know why.
I’m terrified, yet I’m inexplicably intrigued.
I’m cautious by nature, but something makes me want to know who he is, and why he gives a sh*t about somebody like me.
I know falling for a man I’ve never seen in the light of day is dangerous.
Does he stalk me because he wants to own me, control me, and make me into the woman he thinks that I am?
Does he want to hurt me, or is he just a lost soul like me?
And why did it feel so good to touch him under the cover of darkness?
Is he my nightmare or my dearest stalker?
Getting to know him might be foolish, but for some reason, I just can’t walk away…
Author’s note: This is a red-hot, sexy, curvy girl serial romance with an obsessed, alpha male stalker. Read at your own risk. The stories will come out in quick succession so you won’t have to wait long for the conclusion.

This series has been unlike any stalker story I’ve ever read. It has tones that are a bit dark, but mostly this stalker is helpful. And this fourth book finally lets us get to know him as more than the shadowy figure obsessed with our heroine. This romance may not have started out in the conventional way, but these characters are just so right for each other. This book holds all the answers to the questions raised throughout the series. It’s a little bit sweet and a lot sexy, and we even get a peek at the next couple to watch for.
Regardless of what name she chooses to write with, Author J.S. Scott has proven she is a master storyteller. Each of the four books on this serial were as addictive and page-turner as the next and we the readers couldn’t wait to read the concluding and anticipated finale.
The story pretty much takes off from where we last left it and it was like hitting play on a movie that has been on pause. The steamy scenes were scorching and there were other nice surprises and unexpected turns which made me appreciate this last instalment even more.
Really I can’t tell you much about the book as I do not want to give anything away. All I can say is that it ended perfectly, it was all I wanted in this story, it had touching elements and it still offers something new. The books were written in very quick succession and for that, I would like to commend the author, even when the last part seems to take long(and really it didn’t, I was just dying for the day to arrive) she managed to release a Valentine’s novella in between! Just AMAZING.
Sadly this story is now over but with every ending comes a new possibility and I for one can’t wait to Ben’s book, its going to be another hit for sure!.
Part One in Dearest Stalker series by Lane Parker/J. S. Scott. Listening on audible narrators Elizabeth Powers and Dexter Collins
Kate is a student trying to finish her college but unexpectedly her dead beat rich father dies and she goes to funeral.
This is were she realises her totally alone at 22 with both parents dead. That’s where her fantasy man finds her and seduces her taking her virginity.
That’s when she finds out her mobile was given to her by her ‘stalker’ not her father.
Her father walked out on her and her mother and also didn’t send financial help, which Katie step family was very annoyed about.
Part of me found this a bit weird but now I’m hooked and I’ve got to find out who the ‘Stalker’ is.
I didn’t mind Katie character but she didn’t see her stepbrothers or stepmother as family even when they gave her a place to live and wanted to help while she was trying to finish school and find a job but she’s really reluctant to take help and personally comes across has harsh and ungrateful at time.
This audiobook is done with duel narration and I absolutely love that the female narrator does the female parts and the male narrator does the male parts. The narration is really great and absolutely love Dexter Collins sexy voice
Part Two in Dearest Stalker series by Lane Parker/J. S. Scott.
Katie finds out the her mobile school cost have all been paid by her ‘Stalker’ and starts messaging him and getting very one liners back. Kate says going through people to try figure get who is her ‘Stalker’
When ‘Stalker’ finds out Kate thinks her money’s come from her father. he breaks her heart and tells her it’s from ‘Stalker’.
He turns up in middle of night but Kate wakes up with a blindfold on and then he ties her up and has he sexy way with her.
‘Stalker’ is very reluctant for kate to see who he is which keeps me totally hooked, desperately wanting to who if it her stepbrother or her jock high school friend. Which were given clues in this book
Again fantastic narration
Part Three in Dearest Stalker series by Lane Parker/J. S. Scott.
Kate finally meets Ian Blackwell her oldest stepbrother but when she meets him she finds out he’s badly scarred from a car accident that killed his father.
Kate starts a job at Blackwell and realises Ian is very lonely and alienates people around him.
Kate decides to question her ‘Stalker’ and finds out he’s known her from high school and he might have a light issue.
Ian has been trying to keep a distance from Katie.
One night at work Katie makes a comment about being a stepbrother and that’s when Ian snaps and makes it clear that he wants to have sex her but doesn’t see himself as a good guy so doesn’t wants a relationship.
In this part of the book Katie and Ian’s relationship changes and becomes sexual but the whole time Ian doesn’t think he’s good enough.
What really like about this part of the series of books is the insecurity of both Katie and Ian. Katie is self conscious about being a bigger curvy women and Ian has massive ptsd from car accident that scarred him badly but also killed his father.
FINALLY find out who is her secret ‘Stalker’
Part Four in Dearest Stalker series by Lane Parker/J. S. Scott.
So in the throws of passion Kate realises her ‘Stalker’ is Ian, her scarred ptsd stepbrother.
In this book lots of information comes to light. Kate’s step-family had been to her high school graduation and that’s when Ian started to obsess over Kate. she realises she has more family that she thought.
Ben also finds out that Kate had been getting Ian to come out of his shell and to slowly socialise.
Ian slowly tries to romance Kate after she cuts everything off because he’d lied to her about him being ‘stalker’ and after she found out who he was felt he was playing games but for Ian he was just scared she would accept a madly scarred loner.
Absolutely loved that all parts of the book was narrated with voices and not just them ready a chapter each but actually read female and male voices separately.
Loved the teaser with Ariel and Ben now I’ve got to find out if they’ve got a story.
Even though I thought the storyline was a bit weird in end I loved it.
I have absolutely loved these books and so sorry to see Dearest Stalker come to an end.
I have loved the characters and the connection between them all. The storyline has been phenomenal in as much as there were some darkness within the story but on the light side of dark. Not what I expected from the title “Stalker”
I adored Kate and Ian. They so needed their HEA together.
I love Ben and Ariel and can’t wait for their story to begin now. Hopefully we’ll hear a little about Kate and Ian too so we can read how they’re getting on.
This is the last book in Dearest Stalker series. It was just amazing. I am definitely looking forward to Bend story in My Protector. This is a must read.
This is the fourth and final book in this series. I was patiently waiting for this one. This one picks up with Katie finding out that Ian and her stalker are the same. Wow this was written amazingly. I loved how these two work through this. I love Ian and Katie. These two together are absolutely amazing.This whole series was amazing. It ended perfectly. Highly recommend reading this series.
Absolutely loved this book. I could hardly wait for the conclusion to this 4 part series. I don’t usually like series where you have to wait forever to get to the end but Ms. Parker didn’t make us wait too long for this ending. I loved how these two broken individuals healed each other and had their HEA.
Kate and Ian are seriously the cutest couple. This was a great ending to a great series. The books weren’t super long so I was able to start and finish the series in one day. I can’t wait for Ben and Ariel’s story.
I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
all of these books that I have read have been great reads
We finally got the finale in the Dearest stalker series! I wanted to know what happened after the heroine found out who the stalker is and how she would fit that in her life in order to get her happy end. The author gave a good ending to these characters and I am looking forward to the spin-off series about Ben and his lady whom I shall not name. I really want to read that series and I would like to see Kate and her stalker appear.
To be completely honest, I feel like the book didn’t have the same vibe as the others, but that probably is due to the revelation of the stalker’s identity and how Kate was processing everything. Still, the book was good and I would recommend the who series.
This is the fourth part of the series and the previous book MUST be read before this as the whole series is like a large book cut into four parts. Seeing as this was the end part of that huge book, this is just the downhill slope, the what happened after Kate found out just who Stalker really is. Now Kate needs to figure out what to do with this info and how will she let it affect her future. She has choices, does she let the hurt and distrust she now feels make the choice for her, or does she take a moment to figure things out? I feel that if I had read the whole thing together, this would have been a better read for me, as it stands book three was months and about a hundred books ago. Diving right in as I loved the previous three, this was really just opening a book to the end and reading the finale and then we only get up to 77% not even the full novella. I’ll give this 3.5 stars for the steaminess that we got.
The perfect ending…
…and a mesmerizing start on the next Dearest series.
The cat is literally out of the bag in this book, but can Kate and Ian find their way?
This is a deliscious sexy and intriguing story filled with thrilling moments and enjoyable characters.
This was a great ending to this series as the author tied everything up together quite nicely. I loved Ian’s “alpha-ness” and his protective nature toward Katie. She was hurt at all the secrets but once she processed all the reasons Ian did what he did she decided life definitely was better with him than without him. I thoroughly enjoyed getting to know these two characters and am excited for Ben’s story.
He may have gone about it the wrong way, but the love and protection was undeniable. Ian and Kate’s story is beyond falling for your “stalker” it was about helping and saving each other all while falling in love. This entire series was a quick and easy read. I enjoyed it. Can’t wait to read about Ben’s story.
Stunning conclusion
Part four of the Dearest Stalker series is finally here and boy oh boy what a story!
Kate finally figures out who her stalker is at the end of part 3…and no I won’t tell you who it is… so I suggest you start reading Lane also introduces the next series called Dearest Protector which focuses on Ben Blackwood and Ariel which I’m super keen to get my hands on A great series and definite must read with a stunning conclusion.
Finally the conclusion. Katie now knows everything but what will she decide. Coming to terms with what Ian did and her feelings for Ian is something she has to be will to take a leap of faith for. So enjoy their story!
Gosh what a storyline this has been. I don’t usually read books that are broke apart in segments but let say I am super glad I took a chance on this one. This storyline and the characters have gripped me tight and refused to let go. The author has given us characters that are well defined and their story will tug at your heartstrings.
I can’t spoil the ending, which of course is part 4, but I will tell you it’s a struggle for Kate. She knows the truth now, she knows who her stalker is and he’s hurt. Hurt that he didn’t tell her. Deep down she knows he probably had good reasons for what he did, but can her heart withstand anymore if she knows the whys? Will Ian ever be able to deal with all his inner struggles? If Kate leaves will he ever be the same?
Kudos to the author for an amazing storyline throughout books 1 – 4. I can’t recommend Dearest Stalker enough, and I am anxiously awaiting Ben & Ariel’s story coming up in Dearest Protector real soon. 2 Thumbs Up and 5 Thrilling Stars for Dearest Stalker parts 1 – 4.
