I find myself saying ..” This is my favorite book from this author” lol but this series is my all time favorite. And I’m sticking to it) until Hayley writes another fantastic book.. lol)
All Coleman wants is his “prize” for being in the family. All Claire wants to do is finish college, get out from under her parent’s rule and find a man to love and have a family of her own to love.
When Coleman sets eyes on Claire… game on. Ge becomes obsessed with her. He finds a way to get her in his grasp and then the real game is on.

Obsessed with this series! While I loved the first book, this second installment in this series really has me hooked and on the edge of my seat. After all the drama surrounding Coleman’s last “relationship” I was intrigued to see what happens with the fallout of everything, and Hayley doesn’t disappoint. All Parker wants to do is graduate college, get a job, and get away from her family. Everything changes for her when she is informed by her parents that she needs to marry Coleman to save both the family business and her parents lives, and she’s not happy about it. I love how strong of a character Parker is, deciding that even though she has to move forward with this, she will have some sort of control by going to a club to take care of her innocence instead of having Coleman do it, but unbeknownst to her, Coleman has been stalking her and ends up forming a relationship with her without her knowing it’s him. Coleman doing that was so comical to me as a reader, and I love that Parker initially feels comfortable with him without realizing it and how it all works out for her. This book had me guessing and on the edge of my seat trying to figure everything out, and Hayley did not disappoint with this book. I can’t wait to see what happens in the next one, especially with what went down in this one!

Book 2 was SO MUCH better than the first one! A lot better. The action was there, a little suspense & drama, & I felt the connection & hot chemistry between Coleman & Claire. I loved these two. At first I thought Claire was going to be the quiet, innocent little girl who shied away f/violence, & did what she was told. But she totally surprised me. How she handled her virginity in the beginning, but then also her parents & siblings betrayal in the end showed not only how strong she was, but also how perfect she was for Coleman. And I loved how Coleman never hesitated to take care of Andrew & give him a home. You could feel how much he loved Claire & would do anything for her.
It was good to see Parker finally get answers to her parents deaths.
This book grabbed me right away & I couldn’t put it down. I’m excited for Hendrick’s & Allison’s story next. I’m anxious to find out what happened to her & how she escaped!

This is the first book I have read by this author, and I will definitely read more. It has a lot of action and steam, along with a mystery. There is stalking, psychological manipulation, and murder, but no torture scenes. There is also verbal abuse and physical abuse, in the form of slapping, from a parental figure. The adult scenes are consensual and include praise and choking. The lead characters have some intense chemistry, so there is quite a bit of it, however, there is plenty of story as well. I never fully figured out what the family empire consists of, only bits and pieces, hopefully more will be revealed in the next book. This is a complete story with a HEA, but the epilogue includes something that I am guessing will be expanded on in the next book. It is not really a cliffhanger though, so no worries about that. 4.5 stars.

Oh I loved Colemen! He was obsessed with Claire and the author was able to paint the perfect picture. Honestly Claire was perfect for him. After the last book I was rooting for him to find a woman that would be perfect for him and Claire was just that. She was dealt a poor hand growing up but in the end, she got everything she deserved. I love that story progressed from the last one and things were answered while also keeping this one about the main couple. I neeeeed the next book. The twists in this book wondering where the author could go for the last brother. Hopefully he gets his HEA! 5 stars

Enticing the Monster by Hayley Faiman is book Two in the Midnight Stalkers Series. This is the story of Coleman and Parker. This is a interconnecting series so it does add to your enjoyment if you have read the previous book. But with that said I did feel it could be a standalone book. Coleman has agreed to marry Parker who he hasn't met but when he secretly goes to see her he becomes obsessed with her. Parker doesn't have a good family and they take all they can from her. So when she learns they have basically sold her off to be married she isn't happy about. Enjoying this series. I can't wait to read more!

I am 8% read and I'm already yours. I'll follow you to the ends of the Earth to keep getting your books. You write beautifully. Your story is full of description, not just talk between the characters. You've set the story wonderfully. The preview was exactly what I'm getting and the cover fits the story. Your main male is already appearing in my head. Total alpha bad boy rotten to the core, but only because of his loyalty to his family. Not one to walk away, he does what he has to do. The lead female is not an airhead, she knows she won't like what's going to happen, but she is also loyal to her father. Unlike some stories you have given it a new twist by having the father fully explain the situation to the daughter. Good Bad Ugly. I love alpha bad boys, I love great covers which fit the story but more than anything I like to be coated in all the story. I want to know how bad he is, what he does and why he does it and you've given it to me. You're not just having him walk out to work and come back to his female for a little on the side. If more writers did this, some stories which are only just readable would open out their arms and embrace, drawing in their readers. I can tell you one thing, this won't be a book you simply stop because it's past midnight or the sun is rising, this is a book that you MUST read straight through. Your characters are very realistic and you've given them a background, a reason to be that way. The reader does not have to put the pieces together. I'm 9% in and loving it. You've got me hook line and sinker, I'm swimming after the boat no attempt at trying to get free. Coleman is an alpha bad boy, but he's not a loose cannon, he'll take orders up to a certain point, then annoy him at your own risk.If you love a romance or any book which has a fantastic story, then give this book and this author a go. You will NOT regret it. 13% in, and it's clear, he's the type of man you don't annoy. Now, I won't spoil what happens, but GO GIRL! Upset, annoyed, angry, oh yeah, but she's thought through what she's going to do. The physical is great. Lots of description, the reader doesn't need to imagine, it's all laid out for you and if you're expecting words that your mother would wash your mouth out for using, you'll be totally surprised. This book is suitable for all romance readers. If you've never been to the dark side, make this your first one, and you'll be hooked.It's brilliant. As for what happens.... read the book! This is being recommended to my friends. It's dark, but not crude. Great characters. Great descriptions and Great story. This is a keeper. Beyond 5 stars.

This is the 2nd book in the Midnight Stalkers series featuring Coleman and Claire's red HOT age-gap,complex family situations, contract marriage, intriguing, dark mafia full of betrayals, losses and a love strong enough to weather whatever comes at them. This book is even more intense than the first book Tempting the Monster was and I was glad that we got to see Parker and Wells and see the continued fallout from their story in this story. Coleman wants what was promised to him he wants his prize and after what almost happened with Shiloh he wants to make sure about everything so he goes to Vegas and stalks Claire. Claire's family own a casino in Vegas and she's going to college studying accounting until her selfish nasty parents tell her that they took out a loan that they can't repay. They tell her that they're not willing to die so they agreed to an arranged marriage between their son Coleman and Claire and to prove that their not lying they let Claire look at the casino's books. Claire doesn't want to marry a stranger but what choice does she have she can't let her parents be murdered even though they don't care about her. Claire meets Coleman but she doesn't know that he's Coleman she calls him her Midnight Stalker and he calls her his Hummingbird. Coleman sees that her parents are selfish abusive people who are nothing like Claire his hummingbird is a sassy innocent which he learns while he's stalking her and showing up wherever she is. Coleman sees that her brother and sister are just as selfish and nasty as their parents his hummingbird is the only good thing in that family and he's obsessed with her. There is so much to this story but I don't want to ruin it for anyone else with spoilers. You really need to read this red HOT age-gap, complex family situations, contract marriage, intriguing, dark mafia romance to see what happens. I would definitely recommend reading this book and I'm really looking forward to the next book in this series to see where we go from here.

I received a copy of this book from the publisher/author to review for Stephanie's Book Reports.
This is the story of Claire and Coleman. I have to warn you before you dive into this book that you are going to despise Claire's parents , her older brother and her sister. They are absolutely horrible and I could not stand them. Claire is the sweetest girl and they are absolutely horrible to her. She absolutely has no control over her life due to these horrible, awful, ugly people. All she ever wanted to do was finish college and get as far away from her family as she possibly can. She wants a quiet life and to one day have a loving husband and a family of her own. I think she has the dreams that all of us have had at some point, she just has absolutely no one to support her dreams and help her life we all need a little help in this crazy thing called life we do every day. However her parents have other plan for her. She is promised to be married to a man that she will know nothing about or even meet until she walks down the aisle on her wedding day. All of this mess to once again make her life as miserable as possible to get out of debt that her father got in all by himself in the first place. Coleman is her future husband. And like I said she has not a clue who it is going to be. But he knows and the man is already obsessed with her. Now that might freak some people out but I was kind of glad that it was Coleman since I knew that he was capable of giving her a life that she never had with her parents. He even might go as far as to stalk her and it is done so much that she begins to refer to him as her stranger. I can't say anymore about the book or I will give something away. But I loved reading this book. I loved getting to know these characters who are actually really perfect for each other. This book is full of twists and turns that you won't see coming and I was loving every second of it. You do not want to miss this book. Your going to love being kept on the edge and answering the biggest question. Will Claire or wont she go through with the wedding.

When I tell you this might be Hayley Faiman's best book, I mean to tell you that this might be Hayley Faiman's best book... because... wow.
So first off, she's got an incredible back catalog of series - all of which I have not read. Let me just say that. But I have read at least two entire series and have been a huge fan. They've all been 4 and 5 star reads for me. So when I read this new series, I had in fact not read the first book. So I wasn't sure if I'd feel like I was missing bits and pieces, but this can totally be read as a standalone. And holy $hit what a story this is. But before I get into that, what I was saying above is that when I read this, I was judging it based on Hayley's other books - and so compare a book to the others written by the same author (at least the best I can), and I tell you this so that I can tell you that this is my favorite Hayley Faiman book.
This "Midnight Stalkers" book #2... I mean, give me a stalker! This book is so addicting from the start - you're not sure what's happening exactly, but you're intrigued, excited, repulsed, upset, turned on, and riveted by how events unfold in this story. The characters are relatable, which I found to be refreshing considering the content (with these types of stories I don't always find the characters to be relatable). I also found this story to be refreshing considering the genre that it's in. ... I found soooo many things with this book - obviously. But my takeaway was how absolutely riveted I was from the very first word I read. I was hooked. And as the story unfolded, I ran the gamut of emotions. I wondered how in the world this was all going to unfold, how this could possibly come together, and who the hell dunnit? And let me tell you, when it all comes together... that ending... giiiiiirl... Hayley, you had me clutching my chest.
Bravo... bravo. I loved it so much and I've already ruined many a book friends' TBR with this rec and a few have already fallen down the same rabbit hole that I have and love it so!

This author has been a constant in my reading life and I can't get enough from her.
She has a way with words that will hook you up in a second and hold you hostage till the end.
I've read so many books from her and they aren't enough.
Hayley Faiman is the author that I'm talking about and guys, just grab her books and see for yourself.
Enticing the Monster is her latest release and it's the second book from the A Midnight Stalker series.
One side note, despite the fact that this book is a standalone, I would suggest you read Tempting the Monster first and only then grab this one.
You'll thank me later.
This book explores the lives of Coleman and Claire.
Coleman's life has always revolved around "The Family".
He had belonged to that so-called organization since birth, but when she was a teenager he cowed to always do right by them no matter what.
When he's tasked to marry...
Claire didn't have a good relationship with her parents.
They ignored her or manhandled her, but she held her head high and focused on her studies.
When her Dad sold her to pay up his debt and keep his precious casino...
My oh my... What a book this was.
I knew this would be amazing and dark and boy, I was not wrong.
I loved the first book and was super curious about this one.
I love the chemistry these two shared, despite all the darkness and special circumstances they ended up together.
It was a bumpy ride.
Amazing plot, well written, super engaging, and dark...
And let's not talk about the hot stuff... Dayum, I needed some change of clothes...
Loved the fact that we had some insight into some scenes from the previous book.
I had a few questions and was so glad when I got the answers I was seeking.
It was another amazing book and the best way to start my book year
Awesome book Hayley. Can't wait for the next one.

A fast-paced thrilling story
A very well developed mafia novel, with enough spice and intriguing plot to satisfy even the most demanding readers. This was my first novel of Hayley Faiman, but it definitely won’t be the last.
I liked everything about the book. Claire is a good girl in a not-so-good (personality wise) family. Her parents essentially decide to sell her in order to even a dept and to be able to maintain their high quality lifestyle. Her sister and older brother are just as wicked airheads as their parents. The only exception is her younger brother. Coleman is a born-in mafia man – his sole dedication to his Family. He was told that Claire would be his wife, but he himself became obsessed with her from the very beginning. He basically stalks her before they even met, convinced that fate brought the right person to him. While the story is progressing, Claire is getting stronger and stronger and Coleman gives her the room to do it (within reason, of course – he is still an Alpha). It’s such a surprising –in a good way- contradiction to other mafia novels I read in the past, and I loved it. I loved their dynamic. I also liked the fact that Coleman does what he must for the Family, and he doesn’t hesitate to do anything he is required to do, but he doesn’t enjoy hurting people – for him it is just a necessity he can’t pass by – another first in a mafia novel for me. I also loved a few other secondary characters in the book, as much I hated the villains.
All in all, it was a great book that gave me all the feels and I couldn’t put down from first to last page. I definitely recommend it to anyone who loves the gender. 5 stars from me.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book via Booksprout.

This is the first book I've read by this author, and I was not disappointed. I will be reading more from her. This book had me hooked and in the edge of my seat with every twist and turn in it.
I really had no love for Claire's parents as they showed no love towards her. Having her marry Coleman when all she wants to do is finish college, fall in love, and have a family. Not being forced into something she doesn't want to do. She doesn't want to marry her husband, a virgin, so she is going to solve that issue before her wedding. Little does she know Coleman had been pretty much stalking her from the beginning. The man she is talking to in the club is actually her so to be husband. She just doesn't know it. Will finding out the man she had been talking to and starting up something with her actual soon to be husband stop her from getting married?
I'm telling you this book will not disappoint. It is a must-read! The author, Hayley Faiman, knows what she is doing when it comes to writing. Keeping her readings on the edge the whole time. Thinking one thing, but it ends up twisting into something else. Great writing and amazing skill from this author.
I received this book as an ARC, but I would have bought this even if I didn't get it to review. 5 stars, amazing!!

After all the ... chaos in Tempting the Monster, we know that Coleman's bride has been found for him, a deal struck up and now he has to marry someone he has never met. Not a big deal for Coleman as he is loyal to the family and knows that everything happens for a reason. But Coleman wasn't ready for Claire; Claire who is being forced to marry a man she has never met, for the soul reason that her parents are greedy douche bags, and this was an easy way to get their loan forgiven. Coleman has no reason to trust Claire or her intentions, but will come a point where loyalties are tested, will Claire pass the test?
I inhaled this story in pretty much one sitting! I could not get enough Claire and Coleman and all the chaos that the Hamilton family have found themselves in. You have to remember this is on the dark side, so the naughty bits are ones that push limits and super-hot while doing it, there is danger, violence, betrayal; everything that will give you a great read. I give Enticing the Monster 5 stars

Enticing The Monster by Hailey Faiman is an interesting story of Coleman Hamilton, who is part of a family organization that is not truly on the up and up. Family betrayal can result in the extermination of the entire blood line. Coleman is a strange brooding guy with extreme good looks, a body to die for, and an extremely dark side. Claire is nothing like her superficial family. Being a virgin has allowed her parents to arrange a marriage so their debts will be paid. Claire isn't keen on the idea but will go along with it just so she can get away from her deplorable family. Not knowing her betrothed or what her fate might be, Claire is nervous. Coleman has had his eye on Claire since he found out who his virgin bride would be. This is a story with a lot of smoke and mirrors, lies and deception, with a nice dash of hot, kinky sex. Regardless of his occupation, Coleman is yummy. I hope this is the beginning of a series of books regarding the Hamilton Brothers. The ending could have had better, which would have and could have taken this story to the next level. 4 stars for me.

This was my second book by Hayley Faiman, and I LOVED every BIT of it!! She did not disappoint. After reading Tempting the Monster, I curious to know what would happen with Coleman. So glad we are able to find out in his own story with this much desired "Prize".
In this story we find there is a bit of everything considering it is a Mafia story, we have an age-gap between Coleman and Claire, He has total Alpha vibes but we find out he has a sweet spot, during this arranged marriage. He becomes totally obsessed with Claire, and becomes a total "stalker".
Claire is amazing she's grown to be an amazing hard working woman, despite her not no very caring family. Because of her parents greed and selfishness she is forced into the marriage with Coleman.
This story is HOT! Full of twist and turn the two main leads overcome for their HEA ending.
Definitely LOVED it and will be wait for the next! 🖤

Claire wants nothing more than to finish school and to get away from her family. She has always been made to feel like she was never enough and never will be enough. When she finds our her parent have bargained her off to pay off their debts she steps up, because she doesn't want anything to happen to her family. There is one thing she decides she is going to end on her own.... This is where our dark and mysterious Coleman enters the story. This is where the story picks up. This is where Claire realizes that she is worth it AND that she is truly beautiful. Coleman flips her dark switch. They are truly perfect for each other.
Their story flowed really well and the story was fast paced. I was rooting for them from the 1st page. These two characters needed a champion for them and they are that for each other. Claire with the fact with how a the majority of her so called family treated her and Coleman finding someone who accepts ALL of him.

Hayley does not disappoint here. The twists and turns within had me shook. Claire and Coleman stole my heart from the very beginning.
Claire had me on the verge of tears with the way her family treats her. She is the absolute sweetest character. While promised to another man, all she wants to do is be free. I loved the way the couple actually met in the club while she was none the wiser to the fact that Coleman would be her future beau. I absolutely loved that in terms of the story and thought that was creative and well, different.
By all means Coleman is the alpha of our dreams, however is has that sweet gooey center too. He lets Claire bloom and grow in ways she had never had the chance to and I think that was beautiful.
Overall I really enjoyed this second book in the series!
Thank you to Hayley Faiman and Wordsmith Publicity for the eARC!

Dark, Dangerous and Intense…
The Midnight Stalkers are a part of The Family and it is a dark and dangerous life. Coleman is a leader in every way, the oldest brother and committed to what the family expects. He also wants what he has always been promised, a bride that meets his qualifications. Claire is that bride, but it isn’t that simple. Her family is evil, selfish and downright stupid, on a good day. Coleman realizes right away there is more to Claire, and when Claire realizes her “secret stranger” is actually the man she must marry, things get passionate and complicated immediately. Hayley Faiman again creates dark characters who readers should root against and makes them human, despite the darkness that lies within them. Readers will immediately be drawn into the story and stay there until it is complete.

This is book 2 in A Midnight Stalkers Series by Hayley Faiman. It was just as good as the first book in the series. It is about Coleman Hamilton. Coleman is looking forward to his prearranged marriage to Claire Simon. Claire on the other hand is not looking forward to it. She thinks if she goes to a sex club and looses her virginity that the marriage will be off. Little does she know that Coleman is watching her. He happens to be the one she looses her virginity to and doesn't know it because they haven't met. The book keeps moving along and Coleman has sex with her in a few other places and Claire still doesn't know it's him until she sees his face at the alter the day of the wedding. This book is filled with a lot of I formation about the family. It has triggers but is a great read. I can't wait for book 3 in the series.- Kristina

I couldn't put this down!!!
I am totally enjoying this series, it just keeps getting better! This book was fast paced, intriguing and smolderingly hot. From the beginning, Hayley drew me in and I was hooked. Coleman stole my heart! I loved how possessive and obsessed he was with respect to Claire. It was adorable how quickly he fell for her, and wanted to make her happy and protect her. I liked Claire, she stood up for herself when needed however, there were moments where she was so hesitant and unsure of herself and what to do that it didn't reconcile with her otherwise strong character.
The chemistry between these two was undeniable and dripping off the pages. Together they were electrifying.
I love the relationship between the Hamilton brothers and how supportive they are of each other.
This book was definitely filled with actions, suspense and lots of sexy moments that had me totally engrossed. Hayley Faiman is hitting it out of the park with this series and I can't wait for the next book!

This one was hard to put down. Coleman and Claire's story kept me turning the pages to see how it would all play out. I liked Claire's ability to take things into her own hands, even if she felt like she didn't have a choice. Coleman surprised me - while he had the Alpha personality and Mafia mentality an he had a soft, human side that he wasn't afraid to let show. There were a lot of things going on in this book with family turmoil on all sides, you couldn't help to be on the edge. I have to say Claire's family got what they deserved and her strength thorough it all was outstanding. This one made me run to get the first book, Tempting the Monster because I need Wells and Parker's story while I wait for what comes next.

This is the second book in this series and this is Coleman and Claire’s journey.
Colman agrees to marry Claire, whom he has never met, but this is a contract marriage between families, and he secretly goes to see her, and becomes obsessed. Claire is so sweet but she is from a deplorable family, while Coleman is determined to get what was promised to him.
This is a well written story which is a fast paced, action packed, dark mafia romance, with secrets, drama, complex family’s, undeniable chemistry, obsession, an age gap, intrigue, lies, betrayal, a contract marriage, and love, which leads to an entertaining, unpredictable, twisted, and steamy page turner.
I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

This story was such a page turner as the Coleman secretly woos his future bride, while trying to find out who is betraying the family. Claire is stuck in a rut as she is being sold off to be married to the Hamilton family, little does she know her mystery man is actually the man she's suppose to marry when she goes off to try to find ways to lose her virginity before marriage. I love the connection that these two characters had as they built a weird connection but still ended up being even more darker together after their marriage.

I have read just about all of Hayley Faiman's books. Loved every one of them but this is probably my favorite. It hit me in all of my romance loving spots.
A bad boy for sure!
Stalked her, tricked her, before he married her as a stranger
All when she was his promised (bought) bride so she had no choice.
I loved how she planned to get out of an arrangement where she was sold.
There is so much I want to say but I want every reader to experience this story on their own.
So I will just say READ THIS BOOK! IT'S AMAZING!!
