I absolutely loved this novella from Elle Luckett, and I know I say this every time, but these characters may be my favourite in the Club Stigmata series. Mark is one swoon-y alpha, and even though there are some intense moments where we worry about the outcome, I loved the fact that I was so secure in Mark being there along the way. He’s the perfect hero for me, both protective and caring, without having too much of an arsehole gene. You can’t help but lean towards your Kindle when he’s speaking, and I love being that invested in a character. Especially a hot male lead!

This series is addictive, and I actually love the fact that it’s a series of novellas. These are PERFECT for those who love to get lost in fiction but don’t always have the time. These individual stories are filled with heart, and every scene and sequence matters to give you a rich character who you truly connect with in such little time.

Cannot recommend enough.

The Club Stigmata series is one I could get lost in every dang day! I love these novellas that follow the exotic tastes of the members who either work or play at the club. In this #3 novella, Zara comes home to her sister, Lane, who works at the club. Zara has been living a nightmare and she isn't sure how to move on considering her shoulders are weighed down with unnecessary shame. Zara hopes that her sister can help her regain her strength and her confidence again. Zara begins to work as a receptionist for the club and spends time getting to know one of the Doms, Mark. Unfortunately, Zara's past has followed her to New Orleans and with it comes danger that could threaten more than just her own life.

Welcome back to Club Stigmata the BDSM club that sits in the heart of the French Quarter.  You, Me, and the Stalker by Elle Luckett is the latest addition to Club Stigmata novellas and like the others can be read as a stand-alone.  This is an emotionally intense story that tells the harrowing escape and recovery for Zara Beltran.  With the help of her sister Lane and an extremely gorgeous dominate named Mark, Zara is on her way to getting her life back on track, at least she thinks she is.  Someone is coming for Zara and this time they just might get her.  As with the other Club stories, this is a sexually fueled tale that makes to think twice about the sex club scene and all that it has to offer.  Wonderfully strong characters that are well written and alive that you just think they are about to jump off the pages at you.  I loved You, Me and the Stalker and gladly give it 5 good strong spankings.  Keep the stories coming Elle Luckett you have a knack for writing kink!

You, Me and The Stalker(A Club Stigma Novella) by Elle Luckett. Zara leave her abusive boyfriend in Arizona to run to the safety of her estranged sister who she hasn't spoken to in years in hopes of a better life. Her sister works at a BDSM club in New Orleans where Zara runs into Mark, a Dom. Even though Zara isn't a submissive she ends hooking up with Mark when she starts working at the club. The attraction between the two was instant and they wasted no time getting it on. Taken aback by how quick they connected she has an even harder time when a blast from her past shows up and Mark steps up to protect her. I really enjoyed this story. A story of substance that had me from page one till the end. The way the author described Mark and what he can do and has done to his submissive had me hot hot hot. And not to mention his physical attributes had me salivating. An all around satisfying story that left me wanting more from Zara and Mark. I also want to know where her sister's relationship goes with the club owner. There definitely is a good story there. 5 stars for me.

All Zara wants is to escape the turmoil in her life so she leaves everything and everyone she knows and goes to her sister for help. She is determined to keep a low profile but when she catches the attention of Mark, a man at the club where she works, it may just be the best thing to ever happen to her.

Mark is the perfect combination of sexy and strong and when he finds out that Zara’s past refuses to stay where it belongs there is nothing he won’t do to keep her safe.

Mark is the perfect match for Zara as he gives her the strength, both physically and emotionally, to be the woman she is destined to be.

I love this series and this book is my favorite yet! There was just something about Zara and Mark knowing exactly what she needed. I want a Mark in my life! Their chemistry is very hot. I would love a longer story about them. The stalker gave me the creeps. I was a nervous wreck waiting for him to make his move. As with all of Elle’s books, it’s great writing and a meaty story. Emotional, realistic, and she makes us think about the lifestyle and what works for people in it. Highly recommended all of her books!

I am absolutely loving Elle Luckett's Club Stigmata series. You, Me and the Stalker is emotional and thought provoking and in my opinion the author wrote Zara’s story perfectly.

Zara arrives in New Orleans to escape the nightmare that she has been living. Her story is sadly a reality that we hear about every day. It is intense and upsetting at times but I found it to be very encouraging too. Zara is an incredible person and I hated that she felt so much blame and shame when she had no reason to. However, her strength and determination are to be admired and I love her selfless nature.

Zara’s connection with Club Stigmata comes via her sister Lane and I love that they have been reunited after spending a number of years apart. The club introduces Zara to Mark and if I didn’t approve of their relationship so much, I’d be very jealous of Zara. Mark is everything that you’d expect a Dominant to be but I absolutely love his heart most of all.

What I particularly love about this story is that the author touches on a side of a Dom/Sub relationship that I had never wholly considered before. The connection between Mark and Zara is undeniable and I loved witnessing Mark trying to help Zara overcome the emotions that she struggles with.

Elle Luckett has once again penned another fabulous read in a series that has already become a favourite of mine and I am delighted that there is more to come! I honestly don't want my visits to Club Stigmata to ever end.

After a bad breakup with a boyfriend and not being able to go live at home with mom, Zara travels across the country in a car in the hopes her sister will take her in. Not only does her sister take her in but she also gets her a job where she works. While there, Zara meets a particularly gorgeous man named Mark.
As Mark and Zara grow closer, Zara’s stalker of an ex gets closer as well. When the ex finds Zara, Mark steps up to help protect her.
Opinion
Even though the setting of the book is at a BDSM club, it’s not your typical BDSM novel. There aren’t too many details of the goings on at the club described. This book in the series deals more with the business side as both sisters work there.
Mark is swoon worthy. He is so attuned into what Zara wants and needs that he seems telepathic. His desire to help her, even if they can only be friends is quite admirable. Of all of the romance novels I’ve read, I think Mark is the character that I’d most like to meet in real life.
Zara is a strong lead but her demeanor is beaten down by being with her ex for a few years. Add into that the problems with her mother and you can see where her insecurity comes from. Lane, her sister, is able to help get her back on the path to stability.
I love the relationships between all of the characters. Zara and Lane’s coworkers are like a family. Zara’s instant connection to Mark makes this a charming story.

this is book 3 in the Club Stigmata series, I have loved every one so far but I think this is my favourite, it is very emotional and shows the caring side of a Dom even though the person he is dealing with isn't a submissive, the part people don't realise about.

Mark and Zara's story it's heartbreaking and heartwarming at the same time, the way he helps her overcome her fears and panic when a man is near her due to her abusive past, his patience is remarkable, the words he whispers to her make you feel warm inside as he heals her slowly one step at a time.

I recommend this series to anyone, the stories are amazing, 5 stars are not enough, I can't wait for the next one!

You, Me and the Stalker is the latest installment in a series of novellas set at a BDSM club in New Orleans. All books in the series can be read as standalones and are quick, emotionally charged tasty little snacks.

After barely surviving her husband's last fit of rage, Zara narrowly escapes his greedy clutches. She runs directly into the arms of her sister with the intent to recover her confidence and move on with her life. In need of a job, she begins working at the same club as her sister and encounters a sexy as hell Dom, who reads her like a book. Marc knows what it's going to take for the lovely Zara to overcome the shame she carries and take her life back but it won't be easy. Good thing he likes a little pain with his pleasure. As Zara and Marc get to know each other, Zara begins to come alive again. But moving on proves to be harder than anticipated when her past follows her to New Orleans.

The stories in the Club Stigmata series are so well crafted and intense. This story is a beautiful message of recovery and redemption, wrapped up in a truly sexy package! My only complaint is they're so darn short!

Holy hotness!!

This little novella packs a punch. It's intense, it's sexy, it's romantic, and I couldn't put it down. Out of all the Club Stigmata men, Mark is my favorite, so far. He's a swoon worthy alpha that has this Dom thing down to an art form. Zara is running from a past that she would rather forget. The only problem is, it won't let her.  You get the impression Zara is stronger than she thinks right away. It takes a lot of strength to leave an abusive relationship, and that's exactly what she did. She's inquisitive about the club and especially about Mark. Their connection is electric and Zara feels secure in telling him about her past.   When he takes control, there's a way about him that makes Zara feel safe. When the past collides with the present, the result is an intense showdown that shows Zara exactly who is in her corner, and just how close she came to never being able to escape.  I can't wait for more Club Stigmata and the sexy couples that grace the club. They are quick reads that you can't put down until the very end. But hands off Mark. I'm a bit partial ;)

You, Me, and the Stalker is the third book in the Club Stigmata series. Each of these books are novellas and can be read as standalones.

Zara has been in an abusive relationship and she has been trying to get away from that relationship. She is out of options and she is headed to stay with Lane, her sister. Lane works at Club Stigmata and gets her sister a job there too.

Zara meets Mark Chilton while at the club and yes he is a Dom. What unfolds is a very sexy story! Mark helps Zara face her fears and who wouldn’t have those fears if they had been faced with abuse in their past.

I loved the telling of Zara and Mark’s story. I am looking forward to Club Stigmata #4. You, Me, and the Secret!

Another fab read for the Club Stigmata series!
Each couple gives us something different and brings us something else to make each book unique and entertaining.
This time, we get the story of Zara who is sister to Lane who we have already met.
Zara is lost and looking for help after a relationship gone wrong, shes broken and never believes she will be put back together again until Mark pops up in her life my chance.
I LOVE how these big bad Doms all fall apart and do all they can for their woman!! These guys were so good together and to see how Mark helped put Zara together again by just being there for her was just wonderful.
Onto book 4 next for me but its the couple in book 5 that have my attention and i need their back story asap!

Zara's life has been a nightmare of late, and she has to escape her boyfriend, so she gets in her car to her sister across country, hoping that said sister will let her stay with her. Her sister, Lane, works at the club, and helps Zara get a job there as well. This leads her to meeting the super sexy Mark, a Dom at the club, and as they get closer, he seriously knows what she needs. See, Zara's self-esteem is low after everything she went through, so it's not an easy journey. Add in someone stalking her, making this story an edge of your seat novella. So, hit those one click buttons to experience it for yourselves, as I HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

You, Me, and The Stalker by Elle Luckett is book Three in the Club Stigmata Series. This is the story of Mark and Zara. This is the first book I have read in this series, so for me this was a standalone book.
Zara is going through some tough things that steam from a bad relationship. So she heads to her sister to recoup and to lay-low for a while. Zara takes a job as a receptionist at Club Stigmata where her sister works. This leads her to meet Mark a totally hot alpha man. This starts her are the healing process and getting her life back together....until the danger from her past comes forward. Enjoyed this book and will plan on reading more from this author.

This is the third book in the Club Stigmata series and it can be read as a standalone. Zara has been living in an abusive relationship and it has done a number on her psyche. Finally making the decision to flee and visit her sister proves not only cathartic for their relationship but opens up a whole new world that can help her heal. Mark is a Dom and from the beginning when he sees Zara there is something that pulls him towards her. This is one sexually driven storyline that shows a different side to the club scene and all that may go on there. I volunteered to read an advance copy of this book.

Zara has come to New Orleans to stay with her sister, Lane. Lane gets her a receptionist job at Club Stigmata. Zara meets Mark, one of the Dominants from the club and the two hit it off. Zara has an ex stalking her and causing problems. Mark is an alpha but is caring and protective of Zara. He is just what she needs after her ex was abusive and a stalker. Will Zara's past cause more danger to her and her friends? A wonderful read.

If there was ever a book that needed to be made into a movie, it's this one.

This is my first read from Elle Luckett and I can barely wait to get my hands on her other works. I truly loved this novella. The characters were so well developed. Mark was everything for me, strong and nurturing, the complete combination that Zara needed to break from the small cage she'd lived in for so long.

I highly recommend this read.

Beautiful book inside and out and a story that is so beautiful written. Mark and Zara are so sweet together. Mark is just perfection, he’s my favourite in this series so far. The author Elle Luckett definitely knows how to pull you straight into the story. My heart is so full love and hope.
