Synopsis
*Author Note: This is not a love story. This is a story of love gone wrong.*
Growing up the way I did, you’d think I’d be more screwed up than what I actually am.
Soon as I turned sixteen, I left that bump in the road I called home and took my chances on the street.
Best decision I ever made.
Now, at the age of twenty six, I’m educated, employed and damn good at my job.
My friends have become my family. Like me, they know what it’s like to grow up unloved.
But the saying is true.
The world makes way for those who know where they are going.
That’s me.
I know where I’m going and I’ll get there eventually. On my own terms and at my own pace.
But then there’s him.
I feel his eyes on me. I see him hiding in plain sight. He watches me.
He makes me feel.
It’s unconventional.
But it’s real.
I’m sure you’re wondering how a person falls in love with their stalker.
So am I.
This isn’t a story.
This is my life.

**** 4.5 Star Review by Sarah
Holy mother… this book was so good! It was a page turner for sure, I couldn’t put it down! Ugh! I don’t even know how to write this review without giving anything away. Lexi and Twitch have the most messed up, precious, hilarious, sweet, insane relationship I’ve ever seen!
When we first meet Lexi you can’t help but fall in love with her. She’s adorable, sweet, has a huge heart and is funny. But, then she reveals that she’s had this stalker for the last year- oh and she likes the idea of having a stalker… weird, right? Just wait, it gets even crazier. She’s never seen his face or heard his voice, she has no clue who he is only that he is always there watching her. She fantasizes about him, dreams about him. Then one day she gets to meet her stalker up close and personal.
“Monsters don’t always lurk in the shadows… Sometimes they hide in plain sight.”
Enter Twitch. Twitch is super a sexy, alpha, rich, bad-boy. He’s a drug dealer with a sordid past, but damn it if I didn’t want him just as much as Lexi did. Twitch seems to have some sort of vendetta against Lexi but we don’t know why; all we know is he plans on hurting her, not necessarily physically, but emotionally. He wants to use her for his sexual pleasure (which he does and it’s hot!) and then crush her heart. But, WHY? This is the question we ask ourselves the entire flipping book!
Oh, but wouldn’t it be fun if they fell for each other? Twitch is so emotionally damaged, I’m talking insane and terrifying so it was fun watching him try to navigate his feelings, and the fact that he actually had feelings to begin with; and Lexi is a problem solver, a fixer- but did she bite off more than she can chew with Twitch?
I heard somewhere that a king only bows down to his queen. And I’m bowing down to Lexi.
As always, Belle delivered an awesome, page-turner, that will leave you dying for more. By the end you’ll be so torn up you won’t know what to do; you’ll want to scream and cry and laugh and go back to re-read the epilogue to see if you missed something. You didn’t.
Mini Teaser
Staring down at my chest, she takes a step closer to me and whispers miserably, “I’m here to let Brad fuck me.” My cheek ticks and head implodes. She steps closer to me to add, “He’s going to fuck me. Fuck me til I forget you. Til I forget I ever met you. He’s helping me drown you out and I like when I’m not thinkin’ about you.”
She looks into my eyes and repeats on a whisper, “You’re poison.”
About the Author
Belle Aurora is twenty six years old and was born in the land down under.
At an early age she fell in love with reading. Boredom one summer had her scouring the bookshelves at home. She stumbled across Sandra Brown’s Breath of Scandal and fell in love with romance.
Having been brought up in a loud and boisterous family of Croatian descent, she developed a natural love for dramatics and humor. Only some years ago had she discovered a new love.
Humorous romance novels.
Kristen Ashley and R.L. Mathewson had opened a brand new world where she could lose herself yet feel safe and at home in their stories. Belle has been known to become a screeching banshee while anxiously awaiting their newest titles.
Belle never thought she would write. It had never interested her until recently. Friend-Zoned began to form and in February this year Belle typed the words Chapter One. And she fell in love.
With words.
With writing.
With a creative imagination she never knew she harbored.
