Stalker is the story of Nick and Alexa. Nick is fresh out of prison and looking to turn his life around. He meets Alexa while staying with the only friend that stood behind him. This story is heartfelt and heartbreaking. Alexa has a bad track record with relationships but feels an instant chemistry with Nick. Their romance is put to the test when secrets Nick come from Alexa come to light. Can Alexa forgive Nick for his lies or half-truths? Can Nick convince Alexa to give him another chance? While the story is fast paced it does not feel rushed. Instead it brings all the feels and the reader can feel the desperation through Nick’s actions and words. I would highly recommend this book to others. With each book Derek Masters releases he brings his A game, I can’t wait to see what he has in store for the rest of 2018.
Secrets always have a way of surfacing.
Nick and Alexa love at first sight. Nick’s hiding a prison record and Alexa has a rotten record with men. Well her record seems to be continuing because as much as Nick ‘loves’ her, he also seems to love strippers turned prostitute. Nick’s looking for love and redemption. Will he find it? Nick is willing to do anything to hold on to Alexa. Will she forgive him? Or will her fear prevent her from a happily ever after? It wasn’t hard to connect with this story. How can you not? I could easily put myself in Alexa’s place.
This wasn’t a crazy stalker and I loved Derek’s take on the ‘stalker’. This story grabs you right from the start. I couldn’t put this book down till it ended.
Secret pasts always have a way of sneaking up on you, and that’s just what Nick finds out in this fast paced love story. Does the love of his life, Alexa, come around and forgive him for the lies and half truths she’s been given? Take a read or listen to find out, you won’t be disappointed!
What in the ever loving!!! I freaking loved this book. I was rooting for Nick & Alexa the entire time. So well written and beautiful with twists and turns. Once again, Rodney Falcon did an awesome job narrating this amazing book. Omg! I need more!!! Can’t wait to discover more books by this talented author.
I was given this audible book for a fair and honest review, thank you Rodney Falcon. I’m sure this wasn’t necessarily your fault but in parts I was a little confused on who was speaking. Otherwise I enjoyed your narration.
The story in a nutshell, Nick is released from prison, is invited to stay with his friend Curtis and girlfriend Kim, Kim has no idea Nick was in prison. Curtis and Nick want to keep it that way. Nick falls for Alexa, Kim’s best friend. All is well till Nick moves into his own place and Alexa finds some damaging information, accuses Nick of lying and withholding info. Nick being persuasive, eventually convinces Kim to give him another chance. In the end we have a HEA of sorts?
This story to me was not dark, however in some cases I felt Nick was on the verge of being a stalker, no means no regardless of the circumstances and he continually disregarded Alexa’s request to stay away. Alexa on the other hand was being illogical in not hearing Nick out, she in hear anger thought she knew all, but knew nothing.
I liked this book, although Nick’s obsession with Alexa for her love was a tad much, the ending was great-so many different scenario’s come to mind for Nick and Alexa.
Have you ever had something bad happen and then you let a friend convince you not to tell anyone? If you’re like Nick you just kind of knew in the back of your mind keeping this secret from Curtis’ girlfriend would probably come back to bite him. But he and Curtis grew up in the foster care system and even though they had been bounced around, they stayed in touch throughout their lives. They considered each other brothers and if Curtis thought keeping the secret was the right thing to do, then by all means, Nick would keep quite. Until it’s too late and his secret is found out by the last person in the world he wanted to know. The results are almost more devastating than the secret.
The title had my mind going in one direction and Derek Masters took me in another. It was an emotional journey for sure, but a heart felt one that I enjoyed following along with his characters. I was pleasantly surprised and whole heartedly recommend this one.
Nick made a life changing mistake one night in a bar that cost his five years of his life. Now he’s back in the real world with every intention to move on and start fresh. Alexa is Nick’s dream girl. He fell in love with her the moment they met. He truly believed that he was making the best of his second chance at life until his dirty little secret caused his new life to come crashing down. Now Nick has to find a way to make his unforgivable lies something the two of them can get past. Will Nick be able to make Alexa see that his five years in Prison didn’t make him a monster or will she only see him as the man who lied to her and made her feel like a fool. Derek Masters makes you see that there’s two sides to every story and that not everything is black and white.
Stalker is not what I expected. The title of the book does not match the story. I thought that the book was going to be about a stalker, with suspense, mystery and be dark, but it wasn’t. This is just a romance with mild sex. But the story that was told was enjoyable and flowed. This is a good mellow read.
I would recommend this book.
Derek did an excellent job in writing this book. He has you hooked from the start. Nick and Alexa have there ups and downs, but it shows you should always be honest. Enjoy.
Great book
I love Nick. This was such a great story. Derek made me happy then he broke my heart and put it back together. This book had some Darkness to it. I couldn’t put it down. A well written story that is so worth the read.
Stalker is an amazing book from Derek. I finished it in one night because I didn’t want it to end. Nick is a man that wants to change from his past mistakes and isn’t afraid of being vulnerable. He was so easy to root for. Alexa and Nick were definite opposites but their attraction to each other was like love at first sight. I rooted for them from the beginning. If you love dark romances that pull at your heartstrings, don’t pass this one up. You won’t be disappointed.
Stalker by Derek Masters is one spectacular read. I loved every minute of it from the beautifully designed cover all the way to the very end. I love how this author can take a popular troupe and spin it in such a way that is totally unique and original only to him. This book is no different and will not disappoint. Don’t let the title of the book fool you as this is not your typical crazy stalker story. I was very pleasantly surprised with Mr. Masters take on the whole stalker idea. This book is fast-paced and very well written with a compelling storyline about a man looking for love and redemption. When he finds the love of his life, he will do anything he can to hold on to her. The characters are very well developed and extremely likable. There are a few twists and turns along the way that will pull you into the story, pull at your heartstrings and hold on to you until the very end. Derek Masters has proven his ability to captivate his readers with his amazing storytelling. Although I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout I am voluntarily leaving a review. I also purchased a copy for my personal library. I highly recommend a 1-click purchase today.
Dark, gritty, intense and oh so sexy, this is a definite must read. The story of Nick and Alexa kept me captivated. I fell for Nick so hard! Alexa was a little too thick headed at times in my opinion, but I believe that her character needed to be written that way. I am looking forward to reading more from this author.
The book will leave you with a hangover. When Nick and Alexa meet they are instantly attracted to each other, but Nick has a past he wants to forget and Alexa has trust issues. His worst nightmare comes true when she finds out about his past. Nick, being brought up with foster families that could care less makes bad choices and ends up in prison for a bar fight that went too far. From the moment he is released from prison, your heart goes out to him seeing other released inmates reuniting with family while he has nobody and walks for miles in the snow just to get to town where he meets up with his only friend Curtis who is more like a brother and willing to take him end so he can get a fresh start. Nick will pull all your heart strings, there is just something about a man showing he is vulnerable, even if he ends up having stalker issues you see how badly he will do anything for the love of his life.
That’s all I will give of the story, do not want to spoil it. This book is a must read!!
