Description
Dark Romance x Political Thriller
She's the president's daughter. He's the man who wants him dead.
Daphne Fox hates being the First Daughter. Her life is a chess match of backroom deals and blackmail to serve her father’s political agenda. But when a masked man abducts her, he offers her the chance to strike back against the corrupt politicians who’ve controlled her life. His price is steep, and he wants something only she has…information. And he’ll do whatever it takes to get it from her.
Tristan Sinclair has one mission: stop a healthcare bill that will ruin millions of lives. He’s used to having blood on his hands, but this time, he needs the First Daughter’s help. To his surprise, Daphne becomes more than a pawn in his lethal game. Her sharp wit and fiery attitude ignite an obsession he can’t shake, and she’s distracting him from his work.
But Daphne has no idea her new ally is plotting to kill her father. And when an online stalker sets their sights on her, she and Tristan must decide how far they’re willing to go and what secrets they'll keep from each other in their deadly game of cat and mouse. Daphne learns how much she’s willing to pay for her freedom. And Tristan must choose between the millions of lives at stake, or the one life of the woman he’s fallen for.
BLOOD RED has the murdery vibes and humor of BUTCHER & BLACKBIRD with the light stalking and spice of LIGHTS OUT in the distrustful, political setting of HOUSE OF CARDS.
Tropes: stalker romance / morally grey MMC / golden retriever MMC / touch her and die / forbidden love / secret identity / he falls first / disguises / masked man / politicians / mid-sized FMC / BDSM elements / kidnapping / booktok FMC

Advance Praise
"Blood Red is a political thriller wrapped in dark romance, obsession, and morally gray chaos and I devoured every delicious page." - ARC Reader
"It’s a beautifully messy, high-intensity read that forces both characters to decide what they are willing to sacrifice: their country, their secrets, or each other. If you love a hero who is protective, dangerous, and slightly unhinged, this book belongs at the top of your TBR pile." - ARC Reader
"I love that this is a dark stalker romance and an enemies to lovers book as well as comedy. I give this 5 STARS and HIGHLY RECOMEND THIS BOOK!!!" - ARC Reader
"I really didn’t know what to expect with this one, HOWEVER I can honestly say without a doubt, that I absolutely loved this. I love everything about Daphne and Tristan. The plot was plotting, surprisingly I enjoyed the political theme, and I absolutely loved the fact that Daphne wasn’t your typical FMC, she is absolutely a spitfire instead of hiding and cowering, Tristan is everything you want in a cinnamon roll, even with the “hobbies” I love the banter between these two and honestly I can’t wait to see what this author does next " - ARC reader
"Would definitely recommend to a friend, a best friend, an avid book reader, a lover, my neighbour, that weird guy at the bus stop, an alien, Beyonce and the next person I see at the supermarket." - ARC reader

Caitlin Cherise does an amazing job in this stalker romantic comedy novel, it had that dark element that I was looking for and enjoyed getting to read this book. It had that overall story perfectly and the characters had that feel that I was looking for and were written well in this universe.

This book was amazing. Give me a hundred of them.
The dedication alone had me locked in. She’s the president’s daughter, he’s trying to stop a bill from going through, and somehow this turns into a dark stalker romantic comedy?? Unhinged. I ate it up.
The banter is so good, her inner thoughts had me laughing out loud, and the connection between them is delicious. You can feel the tension the entire time.
Strong FMC, high political stakes, chaotic energy — I did not want to put this book down.
Also the trigger menu at the end had me rolling. Please don’t lock her up 😂
Thank you NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for the e-ARC of this book. All thoughts are my own.
Amazing!!! Don’t miss out I. This one. I could not put it down. This book kept me captivated from the first page to the last and then wanting more. It is the perfect blend of thriller and dark romance. I was fortunate to ARC read this book and am grateful I did. 6 stars from me!!!!! I can’t wait for the next one.

This is a fun new take on a dark stalker romance (it's not super dark, if you're concerned... yes, Tristan kidnaps Daphne & yes, he kills quite a few people, but it's not pyschologically dark, more just morally grey, IMO.)
I liked the book a lot more than I expected from the description (no offense, I'm just not a huge fan of political issues being the focus of a book). I found it to be fast paced & well written, with good plot twists, great characters, steamy moments & more.
Thank you to the author (Caitlin Cherise), publisher & Netgalley for the ARC read. All opinions are my own.
