The married woman of the manor. The stranger outside. An intoxicating novel of dark temptation and dangerous desire by the New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of the Cat and Mouse Duet.
November 12, 1944. This house holds on to souls for a lifetime. I thought I had given it to my husband when I vowed to love him until the end of time. I lied. Nothing could have prepared me for the day my phantom appeared outside my window. He was terrifying, yet hypnotizing, and I couldn’t deny my intrigue. I never intended to fall into a whirlwind romance with my stalker. Especially because he’s so much more than that. A criminal. A mobster. The man who offers me solace from the monster in Parsons Manor. There are many that haunt these halls, yet it’s only my husband I fear.

Note: A three that is actually a two and a half stars
Disclaimer: This is a prequel to the Haunting Adeline duology, and even though it's sold as a standalone, I think you can appreciate it more if you've read those two books.
I decided to listen to this book without knowing that it was the same author of Haunting Adeline, I was just attracted by the cover of the book and the fact that it was set in the 40s. Well, I'm glad I gave her a chance... Even though I don't think she's for me.
I'll start with what I liked: The atmosphere she managed to create. She was clearly inspired by Gothic literature, and I think she was somewhat able to re-create it.
And... that' really it.
The love story wasn't really belivable to me. The hero (Rodrigo) falls in love with the heroine (Gigi) two seconds after he sees her and immediatly starts to say stuff like "I can't live without her" even though he hasn't even talked to her.
But I could have forgiven that because, again, I liked the atmosphere the author was creating. But then... I hated the way she developed their relationship. Or maybe I should say the way she DIDN'T develop it.
After the first time Rodrigo barged into Gigi's house like the stalker he is, Gigi goes from "Who is this psycho?!😰" to "He might be a stalker, but he's my bestie🥰" in the span of one chapter because the author brushes off everything saying that Rodrigo has been visiting her (*cough* bargening into her house *cough*) for many weeks. Weeks in which they've talked a lot. About what? Important stuff. What important stuff? Who knows. Especially because further on in the book, it's clear that they still don't know each other. So what were they talking about?! But still, that was a development too important to happen off the pages! It's clear the author just wanted to have them bonk as quickly as possible.
If you like very vulgar spicy scenes, they work, I'll be honest. But there isn't that much more to this book. It could have been more, though. I saw the potential. But the forbidden angle didn't really work for me. Especially in the end.
The ending felt like it was chopped off. This is why I don't think it really works as a standalone.
The narration was really good from both narrators. However, it seems like Stephen Dexter doesn't have as good recording equipment as Summer Morton does. You could tell the difference, and at first it was really jarring. His Italian pronunciation was also quite off, but I guess there wasn't much he could do about that.
I understand now why this author is so popular
