Why choose between naughty or nice in this steamy, suspenseful Christmas-themed stalker romance that’s perfect for dark romance readers seeking a spicy, festive read.
It’s the night before Christmas and I’m alone in the house…
Popular jewelry influencer Chloe Hallman is steeling herself to spend another holiday on her own. Instead, she finds herself drawn to two different guys… a smoldering hot fan of her secret, seductive online persona, and a sexy fireman named Jack who looks out for her in their NYC neighborhood.
She has no idea that I know her better than she knows herself. Her deepest secrets, her darkest desires—she's careful, but I’ve been watching, never leaving footprints in the snow outside her home.
Jack was the first responder to the accident that stole a beautiful young woman's family two Christmases ago, and he's been quietly guarding her ever since. When Jack uncovers Chloe’s secret account, his obsession only grows. Both he and Chloe are drawn to the darkness that mirrors their own.
She’s my Christmas wish come true. And I'm hers. She just doesn’t know it yet.
Will Chloe’s Christmas be a tale of fiery passion...or a dangerous game with a man whose love knows no bounds?
He Sees You When You're Sleeping is a dark romance with a morally grey male lead. Some themes may be disturbing to readers. Please check the content warnings at the beginning of the book.
Tropes: Stalker romance, Acquainted in real life, Christmas romance, Fireman romance, Morally grey MMC, He falls first, Kink friendly

Review:
Thank you to Avon Harper Voyager and NetGalley for providing me with a copy of this title to read and give my honest review. The opinions expressed here are my own.
There's something about stalker romance that just makes me giggle. It's not really my kink but it's always fun to watch it unfold. Through in some snow and Christmas cheer and you've got a enjoyably silly story, with lots and lots of spice.
Chloe is a jewelry influencer with a nice exterior and a totally naughty interior. What she does in private does not match her cutesy public persona. And she needs to keep it that way if she wants to keep her job. I liked her, though I'm not sure if I truly believe in her naughty kinky side. But it was fun to watch her explore herself and see how far she could take things.
Jack is a sexy fireman who is obsessed with Chloe ever. He watched her to make sure she's safe, even though he knows his actions are wrong. I liked Jack and how much he struggled with the decisions he made.
The spice level was pretty high in this book. I felt like it took up a good bit of what happened. And I get it, the book was about exploring some kinks, .But I didn't feel like it was especially organic. I needed more of a connection between Jack and Chloe to truly believe they were meant for each other. And I felt like it was lacking in plot for the most part.
I was expecting this to be a bit darker, but it wasn't. The cover reminded me of another dark romance I recently read, which is what drew me to request this one in the first place,
Overall this was a fun read but nothing special. If you're into exploring your kinkier side, voyeurism, and stalking, pick this one up and give it a try.
