I’ll Call You Mine by Sharon L. Clark is a romantic suspense novel about Katie Parker, who flees San Francisco for her Iowa hometown after a stalker turns her life into a private siege. Back in Enderlin, she tries to rebuild: reconnecting with her brother Nick, starting over professionally, and sparring her way into a combustible romance with Ben Collins. But the threats follow her home, turning small-town comfort into something more watchful and claustrophobic.

I enjoyed how the book lets romance and danger breathe in the same room without letting either one fully domesticate the other. Katie’s fear feels persistent rather than decorative; it changes where she stands, how she reads faces, how she measures a room. That gives the love story with Ben a sharper edge. Their chemistry is flirtatious, exasperating, sometimes almost too heated for office hours, but it works because Katie is not simply being “rescued.” She is trying, messily and stubbornly, to reclaim her own life.

What surprised me most was the warmth around the suspense. Enderlin could have been painted as pure refuge, but Clark makes it more interesting: safe places can still have shadows, and familiar people can become unsettling when seen from the wrong angle. I also liked the texture of the supporting cast, especially Nick, whose protective humor keeps the story from sinking into dread. The banter runs broad, but the book’s best moments have a nimble push-pull: a joke lands, a threat intrudes, and suddenly the air tastes metallic again.

I would recommend this to readers of romantic suspense, stalker thrillers, and small-town romance, especially those who like danger wrapped around a high-chemistry love story. Fans of Nora Roberts’s romantic suspense or Karen Rose’s blend of menace and emotional intensity will find familiar pleasures here, though Clark leans more into small-town heat and bantering attraction. This is a tense, tender romance about learning that home is not the absence of danger, but the place where you stop facing it alone.
