A heart touching love and loss story where the main character transforms and blossoms as a person from the experience. Some spice in 2 scenes but otherwise PG

Written like a YA novel, except w a lot of sex. The structure of the grammar & overuse of simple wording gave the impression that this author is young/immature as a writer. Maybe that's just the vibe of the narration. No int in series

I typically read books for the plot and story line. Halfway through it turned into a porno manuscript. There were times the sex scenes were so long I practically lost where I was at in the story. It detracted from the experience.

This was under the horror genre and I got confused b/c I know Steele to be romance. I wouldn't classify this as horror, even if there's a stalker. It's an alright story, though there's nothing that stands out as great.
