He Knows When You’re Awake - Target Exclusive Edition - By Alta Hensley (Paperback)

Alta Hensley is on my permanent author nice list with her second Naughty or Nice novel! After listening to He Sees You When You’re Sleeping, I was excited to find He Knows When You’re Awake audiobook, and it did not disappoint! He Knows When You're Awake: A Naughty or Nice Novel audiobook delivers its a stalkerish dark romance but manages to maintain being light hearted in a way with the slight comedic undertone. Rock Engle absolutely nails Cole, our morally gray billionaire stalker MMC. His voice radiates that smooth control and dark intrigue perfectly. Jillian did a great job as well. Her narration for Cole in her scenes were on point! making him edgier and slightly darker. IYKYK! Cole and Sloane meet by “accident” after a spilled drink in a bar. He’s instantly captivated by her jewelry designs and the stories behind them. When she mentions her new line, Midnight Frost, has a BDSM-inspired edge, his interest intensifies. Sloane’s desperate to break free from her current job and create jewelry she truly loves, but with denied loan applications and a failed resignation, she’s running out of options. Then comes a mysterious email: a potential investor inviting her to a luxury resort in Switzerland to pitch her collection. It sounds like a dream, or a beautifully wrapped trap. Cole’s plan is meticulous. He’s been watching, waiting, and planning his move. He offers her unimaginable compensation, unlimited resources, and her own studio- but what's the catch? Only if she agrees to move into his penthouse, work under video surveillance, and deliver her collection by New Year’s Eve. Oh That's all huh?! But what exactly does the man who plans everything want from this arrangement? As Sloane tries to keep things professional with forced proximity, undeniable chemistry, and an unraveling that’s both sweet and spicy; what could possibly go wrong? This is a light-hearted stalker romance, think stalker rom-com more than true dark romance. Fun, flirty, and filthy, with a holiday sparkle that makes it a perfect festive binge for readers who like their Christmas stories with a side of dominance. Alta Hensley delivers a festive, fast-paced romance full of tension, possession, and genuine care, with just the right amount of holiday flare. Thanks to NetGalley, and Harper Audio for the gifted eARC and ALC in exchange for an honest review. If you haven't read or listened to He knows Knows When You're awake yet? Please do so again.

Bought online cuz they were sold out in stores but whoever packed it came all bend n cover was dented

I am excited for this book and I bought the collectors edition because it was so cute. Unfortunately, whoever packaged this didn't care and the book arrived with the cover ripped and the edges curled because it was bouncing around loose in the box with no protection. No peanuts, now paper, no protective wrapping. I would get a new copy but they are sold out in stores.

Packages was great. Great job!
