Heart Eyes

Heart Eyes carries significant trauma triggers, primarily rooted in the backstory of both leads. Liam endured severe childhood abuse — physical neglect and abuse across foster homes — and this is depicted in detail across the narrative; readers found it genuinely distressing. There is cage fighting described as fight-to-the-death, though this is more background context than graphic on-page gore. The stalking is dual — the MMC's stalking is framed as protective and adoring, but there is a secondary villain stalker whose intentions are predatory and threatening, including sexual predator behaviour referenced by reviewers. The book culminates in a kidnapping/captivity scene in the final act that multiple reviewers flagged as emotionally intense and difficult to get through. Childhood trauma affecting both leads is woven throughout, including child witnesses to violence. The broader tone includes manipulation and psychological threat from the villain. One reviewer described the content as deeply triggering and "unnecessarily depraved," though this appears to be an outlier response — the majority found it on the softer end of dark romance.
