About this listen

ZANE

Is it wrong that I watch him?

Leif Anderson seems like a friendly, kind, normal, boy-next-door type.

Unlike me.

His stalker, a creep who moved into the place next to his parents’ house to keep an eye on him.

I’m not the bad guy, though.

I’m the one who will protect him.

The cops don’t believe he’s in danger.

Maybe they’re right, and this is all in my messed-up head.

I’ve been wrong before.

And no matter how I justify this to myself, my motives aren’t entirely pure.

It’s impossible to watch a guy this hot walking around in those adorable beanies without getting a little turned on.

When he discovers my secret surveillance, I’m sure it’s over.

No way he believes my reasons for watching him, but he doesn’t report me for my crime.

He’s curious about me in a way I don’t expect from a straight guy.

Or as I quickly learn, maybe not so straight.

Before I know it, we’re on a journey, exploring this wild, exciting part of Leif while I try to keep him safe from harm.

But the closer we get to one another, the more I wonder: what if it was all in my head?

What if no one’s coming for him?

What if the real threat to Leif is me, the guy next door?

High-steam romantic thriller needed more thrill!

Leif Anderson is minding his parents’ place while they’re away and he can’t help but be creeped out by his new neighbour, Zane, who seems to stare at Leif a lot. One strange night, Leif is confronted by Zane who is wielding a gun and claiming someone is out to get Leif. Leif discovers that Zane’s brother has gone missing and that Zane suspects foul play. The two become more than friends but both have had mental health issues in the past that have damaged their reputations, isolated them, and caused them to lose trust in others. Can Leif trust that Zane is not suffering a paranoid delusion and that there really is a killer out there?

I liked the premise of this high-steam romantic-thriller a lot and I really appreciated the backstories but found the pacing an issue. The story starts dramatically with Leif in danger for someone, then most of the story is taken up with Leif and Zane’s developing romantic and detailed sexual relationship before we revisit the danger subplot at the end. It seemed unlikely that Leif and Zane could so easily set aside Zane’s missing brother for 85-90% of the book. 🎧 Tim Paige always narrates well and does so again here!

Story of Leif and Zane

This is a neighbours to more suspense romance, featuring Leif and Zane, and is a standalone book.

Leif and Zane are neighbours but Zane has a secret, but he has been watching Leif, stalking him, be he has his reasons and it’s to keep him safe. After Zane interrupts a break in at Leif’s home, and reveals he installed night vision cameras, Zane is sure Leif won’t want to talk to him but he couldn’t be more wrong. BAM, YEAH BABY!

This book, wow, just wow, I LOVED IT!!! I don’t want to give anything away but highly recommend you read this one. The build up and suspense is fantastic and the relationship development between Leif and Zane is full of heat, chemistry, spice, trust and caring.

Make sure you check content warnings before jumping in.

Narration on the audiobook was performed beautifully.
