Stolen Soulmate 3D

BLURB

There’s a rule in Crowne Hall: never look a Crowne in the eyes.
It protects us more than them.
I broke it once, the night Grayson Crowne mistook me for his true love and stole my first kiss. I’ve regretted it every day since.
He hates me.
He torments me.
He won’t let me go, because that night he whispered a secret against my lips not meant for me. Grayson Crowne, heir to the Crowne empire and notorious playboy prince is… a virgin.
I signed a contract in my heart’s blood as much as ink: help him get back his love, repair what I broke. Give him my body, my soul, my heart, let him use all of me, so when the time comes to marry her, he won’t need me.
I shouldn’t need him.
But he’s my stolen soulmate, and I’m at his mercy.

EXCERPTS

#1

The ink was barely dry on the pages. I don’t know if I was ready for this. Somehow I felt like I was more of a virgin than Grayson. Nervous, skittish. He’d warned me when all of this began that the things he’d seen and done would wreck me.
I should’ve believed him then.
When I didn’t do anything for a minute, he arched a brow.
Do whatever he says.
I could use my safe word, but a twisted part of me liked doing what he told me to do. Liked the rush and the way his eyes hardened. It felt like power, power over one of the most powerful people in the world.
I’d barely taken a step to him, when he ripped me to him by the small of my waist. His other hand tangled in my hair, yanking my head to the side.
“Fuck,” he said, lips at my neck. “Which part do I eat first.”
Delicious tingles spread along my skin at his words. His nose ran along my neck, goosebumps following in his wake. His hands slid from hair, from my waist, along my body, feeling every inch of me, like he couldn’t do it fast enough, before settling back in my hair.
Deliriously, I found the zipper of my dress, but his overtook mine. Stopping me.
“I’m going to ruin your white dress, Snitch. Ruin you. Until you’re all fucked up from me.”

#2

“You like that.” He groaned. “Of course you do.”
The room became one thing. Grayson.
Tongue. Teeth. Hands.
“Your dresses are perfect,” he said. “My little nun. Do you wear them just for me?” He pulled a bit of the giving material aside, biting my shoulder, then laving his tongue over the wound. “A taunting, teasing, torturous nun.”

The first time I shook her hand, I knew she was the one.But my breath stalled when I grazed the cool metal on her finger and when I
looked down at that fucking ring, my heart stopped.

Now, she’s back in town and after five years, I had no idea what’d happened.
Instead of her husband standing by her side, holding her hand, there was a
little girl. The first time I shook her hand, I knew she was the one.

But my breath stalled when I grazed the cool metal on her finger and when I
looked down at that fucking ring, my heart stopped.

Now, she’s back in town and after five years, I had no idea what’d happened.
Instead of her husband standing by her side, holding her hand, there was a
little girl.

I wanted to know their story.

Because when it came to Melanie, I needed to know every little thing.

Excerpt
“I loved reading about Greek mythology the most when I was
in high school.”

I turned toward Melanie who was staring at me. I wondered how long she’d been
looking on or more so. How long ago did she move her chair to the side of the
table, so we were sitting next to each other, rather than across from each
other?

“I’m a huge fan of Greek mythology myself,” I respond.

“You are?” Melanie cocked her head to the side. A look of disbelief crossed her
face and I tried not to laugh.

“I am. I loved studying about it in college. I took a couple of Greek mythology
classes between History and Literature. I even took a Latin class as well. The
culture intrigues me.”

“Same here. Anything I can get my hands on I love to read or watch about.”

“If that’s the case, I have a comic I’d love to show you. It’s about Persephone
and Hades.”

Melanie quickly put her drink down and placed her hand over mine.

“Wait!” There was a stunned look on her face as she reached into her back
pocket, bringing her phone out. It was only seconds before she was shoving the
device in my face, showing me exactly what I’d been about to tell her.

“You mean Lore Olympus?!”

“Yeah,” I laughed at Melanie’s enthusiasm and when she pulled the phone away, I
saw a genuine smile plastered across her face as she looked at me.

“It’s one of my all-time favorite comics and it’s not just the story but the
illustrations as well. It’s just so cool to see the story come to life in a
different way than just words or even so, the way most people read about it.”

“Exactly. We can see these Gods in our time and see them be almost human for a
second. It’s quite a refreshing rendition to the Greek mythology world.”

“Did you see it was being optioned for a show too?!”

“I had not but that sounds exciting. I wonder if it will be animated the way it
is in the comics or if they are going to change it.”

“I hope they’d keep it the way it is but if anything, seeing that story come to
life would be amazing to watch.”

“I hope you wouldn’t make me watch it alone.”

It was a long shot but I stuck the comment out there in the open, hoping with
how this coffee date was going, Melanie would sink into the words and move this
in the direction I wanted it to go.

“Smooth move there, Jack.” She shook her head and leaned in closer to me, just
like she had at the bar. “I said this wasn’t a date.”

“Yet here you are in a dress, sitting next to me, giving me the smile I’ve been
so desperately wanting to get from you.”

“My smile?” She moved her hand to her lips and looked down at her drink.

I reached out, tucking my fingers under her chin and lifting her head up.

“You’re smile, Melanie.” I gave her a small smile myself. “Since I’ve known
you, I’ve never seen the smile you give others directed toward me. Now, you’ve
given me a smile that I’ve never seen you give anyone else.”

MY REVIEW:

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️✨ 4.5 out of 5
Such a tragically beautiful love story. Jack is a man with two sides to him, but not many see the real Jack. He hides his soft, kind side from everyone except those that he lets in. When he meets Melanie everything changes.

Jack works with Melanie’s brother Max in the Publishing company The Ink Well, he’s the cover designer for the books that they publish. He loves his work and gets lost in it when he’s working on a project.

Melanie first meets Jack when she is interviewing with his mother for a position in California. She is moving to California with her husband for his new job and she needed a job as well. Her first impression of Jack is one of wariness and something else, that she’s not able to pinpoint. After five years she returns to Georgia and surprises Jack, because he had no idea she was back or why.

I really liked this story. It tragic but beautiful. Melanie has gone through a lot in the past five years and she’s not sure can continue with her life. If you like stories of second chances, love stories with kind-hearted men that will do anything for the one they love, then you should read Every Little Thing. It tragic, dramatic, and has a Happily Ever After. I give it 4.5-stars and recommend it readers that are looking for a beautiful love story.

BLURB:

Smith Sinclair guards the gates to the darkest corners of Charleston, and I need access for a story.

Despite my best efforts, he stonewalls me at every turn, toying with me and making outrageous demands.

He’s arrogant and unapologetic, and refuses to play fair. Yet I find his brazen confidence and scathing honesty irresistible. Staying away from him isn’t an option. Not for me.

But Smith isn’t the only danger lurking in the shadows. And as he distracts me with pleasure, each lead I chase drags me deeper into a sinister plot.

In the end, I’m bound to make a choice that could cost one of us everything.

While Bound can be read as a standalone, it is the third book in The Devil’s Due series and is best enjoyed after reading Depraved and Delivered. Bound has no cliffhanger.

About the Author:

A confirmed city-girl, EVA CHARLES moved to rural Western Massachusetts in 2014. She found herself living in the woods with no job, no friends (unless you count the turkey, deer, and coyote roaming the backyard), and no children underfoot, wondering what on earth she had been thinking. But as it turned out, it was the perfect setting to take all those yarns spinning in her head and weave them into steamy love stories.

A romantic at heart, Eva looks forward to date night all week. The perfect evening includes well-crafted cocktails, a fabulous perfume, Cherry Garcia ice cream, and her husband, of course. If you add good friends, live jazz, and impossible shoes, she will follow you anywhere.

Eva holds a BA from Boston College, and a JD from the Washington College of Law. She spent a career working in domestic violence, child abuse and neglect, and civil rights. Aspects of this work often find their way into her books.

When she’s not writing sexy stories, trying to squeeze information out of her tight-lipped sons, or playing with the two cutest dogs you’ve ever seen, Eva’s creating chapters in her own love story.

MY REVIEW: 

 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 5 out of 5

Wow! I can’t remember reading a book with so much drama, hate, or angst in quite a while. A story of two people that really should have never even so close to each other but now that they’ve each had a taste of each other, they find it hard to give it up.

Story Hale has a dark, rough past and childhood. She’s a servant in Crowne Hall and has to follow the rules of the house. When she finds herself pulled into the antique room one day, her whole life will change forever.

Grayson Crowne is the Prince of the Crowne legacy. He is to follow his grandfather and mother’s rules and he is to marry the woman that they declare to be his wife. He’s always been in love with her anyways, so it’s not a hardship for him, that is until he mistakenly kisses another woman.

This story was so angsty and cruel. The love story of two people who never should have found their way to each other and yet, they are so perfect for each other. Is there any truth about fate? I give this story a 5-star review and recommend it to readers who like bully, forbidden, angsty, billionaire love stories. Story deserves so much more than she is getting in this story and I hope that she finds it in future books.
