Was it considered stalking if the woman you were stalking liked the idea of being stalked?
It started out like any other job.
My brother, the head of the Russian Mafia, wanted me to delete an opponent. Like the good brother I was, I decided to give him what he wanted.
In doing so, I ended up finding a woman that made my cold, dead heart start to beat again.
One day while doing some reconnaissance on my target, I happen to overhear Keely telling her friend one of her darkest fantasies, and I decide that I’d be the one fulfilling that particular craving for her.
I tell myself that it’s only once. I’d give in to that darkness inside of me once, and I’ll leave her alone from then on.
Except, once turns into twice. And twice turns into way too many to count.
Just when I plan to cut all ties so she doesn’t start to develop feelings for a killer, I find out that Keely doesn’t have just one stalker. She has two. And the one that wasn’t me wanted her dead, and I couldn’t allow that to happen.
Not to her.
Not to the woman that not only chased my demons away, but also didn’t care that I had them in the first place.

My Review: ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5 out of 5
Another great book by Lani Lynn Vale! The final book in the Semyonov Bratva, Always Salty. This is the story of Dima and Keely.
Dima, the younger brother of Shasha Semyonov has finally come home from his military service and is now working for his brother. He’s become a man that seeks information before just completing a job now, he wasn’t so particular when he was younger, but now it matters.
Keely, the sister of Dima’s brother in-law, Cutter, has drawn his attention. He first saw her when he was working a job, and he instantly found her intriguing. Now he’s obsessed with her.
I love this book and this series. I love how Ms. Vale works her stories to intertwine with other series and her other characters show up for a time in each series. She has a knack for writing a story that pulls you in and keeps you engrossed in the story as much as laughing at the antics some of the characters come up. I am a huge fan of the quotes, texts, thoughts, etc., that she has at the beginning of her chapters and I share some of them with my husband or kids. They’re always entertaining.
Although this was the last book of this series, I am looking forward to her next series coming soon, Content Warning. I always look forward to reading Ms. Vale’s books.
