She Was Mine: An Incapable Novella
By Marie Skye
5/5 Stars
She Was Mine: An Incapable Novella by Marie Sky Is quite the read! It is part of the Incapable series. Which continues on with Grayson and Emmalin’s love story.
You should read the Incapable Series, in their proper order. You will get a better understanding of the characters. Not to mention, the events leading up to this book.
This is an amazing continuation of Grayson and Emmalin’s story! I love the way Marie writes about their love story!! She knows real life isn't all rainbows and unicorns. Real life is hard! Real life situations aren't always happy and pleasant!! Life is a roller coaster, full of ups , downs , twists and turns.
What I enjoy the most …is the element of surprise!! Marie's characters are full of secrets, deep and emotional scars. You truly never really know where the story is going to take you!! That is what Marie does…. always expect the unexpected with her books!!
This book … I highly enjoyed it from beginning to end! I could not put it down for the life of me!! I enjoy books like that!! Where you forget the world around you and you. get so consumed in the book, where life stops for a while!!
You MUST read this final chapter in their love story, you will not be disappointed!! I personally hope, this isn't the last we hear of those two. You never know with , Marie!!
Superb job, Marie!! You really did ,out do yourself with this book!! My favorite of yours,by far!!!

She Was Mine
By Marie Skye
5 incredible stars!
I actually think this book may have left me speechless – I don’t know whether to love it or hate it (and definitely not hate it in a bad way either!) but what I do know is that is an incredible read! If you have read and loved this series to date then you have to read this book – you really do. Once I had finished the book and tried to gather my emotions I read the acknowledgments from the author where she apologise for breaking her readers and its true, for me anyway this story well and truly broke me. I have loved Grayson and Emmalin from the very first page I read of their trilogy.
Grayson and Emmalin’s relationship has never been easy but it has been full of love – Emmalin is everything to Grayson. He loves her so much and it is clear just how much in this story I think. He is desperate to get through the obstacles thrown in their way. I was on the edge of my seat throughout this book; I literally couldn’t turn the pages quick enough. I needed to know that one of my favourite book couples were going to survive some pretty difficult times! There were so many twists in this story and I could not predict what was going to happen at all. There were definitely a few things that I didn’t see happening in their relationship!
I think Marie Skye definitely has outdone herself with this addition to her fantastic incapable series. It was captivating and gut-wrenching from that very first word until the very last one! I’m still not sure if I’m ready to let this couple go yet – I just totally love them!! As always I am eagerly anticipating anything that Marie comes up with next! She is definitely one of my favourite authors!

She Was Mine: An Incapable Novella by Marie Skye is part of her Incapable series. This story is about fighting for those you love and taking them for granted. This is my first book I have read in her Incapable series and I know that I will read the others for sure! I love this author and everything about her. Her writing style is engaging and attentive. Her characters are true to life and connectable. This story will make you cry and feel compassion. The characters in this book go through life struggles that normal couples struggle with. They will pull you into their world and make you feel like you are right there with them. But the one question, I kept asking myself is, when will they figure it out so they can have their HEA. Find out what happens to this couple and if they ever find their HEA?
If Grayson had to use one word to describe his wife it would be MINE. She is the mother of his child, his love and his world. She has give him more then he has ever expected, maybe more then he deserves. Nothing has ever come easy for them. But now, someone wants to come along and take it all away from him. When someone starts telling a tale about Grayson, will it destroy everything in his world? Nothing is making sense for him right, so how does he fight back? How will he hold on to her? If she asked him to let her go, could he? He refuses to let her go, to lose her. Emmalin's thoughts on her husband is that life has never been more perfect but sometimes life is just not what you expect or want it to be.
Grayson and Emmalin's relationship has been a struggle for them off and on. Will this last situation be to much for them this time? When Grayson has to fight to prove he is innocent, will he be able to do it before the damage is irreversible? He just wants his family back and to be able to live his life with them. When his past is the problem, will they have a future together? You will feel compassion for these characters. The stress on their marriage is unbelievable and you can't help but wonder if they have enough fight in them to stay together. There were a few times, that Grayson made me mad because of his attitude and his actions and then you get to see how it effects Emmalin. These are great characters, despite his past, I think that make a great couple and found myself pulling for them. Find out what the future has in store for them. Are they strong enough to make it to their HEA?
This is my second book by Marie Skye and there is no doubt I will be reading everyone of her books. Her characters pop off the page, she pulls you in from the first word. Marie is a professional by day and a lover of all things dirty by night. She prefers that her characters work for their happier ever after. She is known as not having a filter and if you ask her opinion you are more likely to get an answer that is witty and blunt. This is a fast paced story that I read in one night. I couldn't put it down. I know you won't be able to either. I highly recommend this story as I know you will want to know what happens to Grayson and Emmalin!

If you haven’t read this series then the characters of Grayson and Emmalin are going to come off as irritating, overbearing (him), weak (her) and just plain crazy. But if you have read the rest of the series then you know their story and the lengths they went to just to be together and that their brand of crazy is just right for them! Until Marie Skye throws another wicked, evil person into their lives! Why can’t people just leave Grayson and Emmalin alone? Are there really that many haters in “their world”? As I read this story I kept wishing for rainbows and unicorns, Marie Skye, is that too much to ask for? Just a little rainbow? Maybe a small unicorn? Well, instead of getting rainbows and unicorns we get hot, steamy, volatile, hard core, demanding, dominant, sex. And a lot of it! Emmalin and Grayson’s relationship is violent and pleasurable in the sexiest of ways. There are many people/readers that will not agree with that and that’s ok. Some may even say the sex scenes could be a trigger. So read with caution.
This story, as with the rest of this series, gets my blood pumping in lust, love and anger. You should take a chance on Marie Skye and see what she does for you!

She Was Mine is an Incapable Series novella….. First of all….. *#@%4 *I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE the whole Incapable series, it’s one of my all-time favourite reads. So, when I heard there was another book coming out, I was sooooo excited. I wondered where you would take the story- I ran a few scenarios through my mind, anticipating what was to come; but never in my wildest dreams did I get anywhere close to guessing what you had in store for Grayson and Emmalin. Mind Blown!
If you haven’t read the other books in the series, you really need to get your hands on them and have a massive book binge. Not only are they awesome, but they also contain backstory and character information that will enhance your enjoyment of this book, and the series as a whole.
I don’t even know where to begin to give an overview of the story, without giving away spoilers, it was that good (Devilishly, Fiendishly Good).
Grayson finally made Emmalin Mrs. Mandrake and he is over the moon to have her carry his name- she is his. They had to work, fight and claw their way to happiness. Now they have an adorable little bundle of joy that lights up both their lives. Business is booming. Their friends are happy. Life should be fantastic. But Grayson has a business deal in the pipeline that has taken up a lot of his time, leaving little for his family. Stress is at an all-time high, and small cracks begin to appear in their relationship. Nothing that can’t be fixed.
But a situation occurs that has the potential to destroy everything they hold dear. Grayson is put in an indefensible position, and once again will need to fight harder than ever before, to prevent everything from slipping through his fingers. Will this explosive situation deepen their bonds, or will it drive him and Emmalin apart, once-and-for-all?
I had such high expectations for this book and true to form, Ms. Skye didn’t let me down (even though she nearly killed me) and has once again delivered a breathtakingly brilliant instalment to her riveting series.
Even now, days after reading this book, my mind is still reeling. I am really struggling to do this wonderful book justice, and communicate how sublime this book is, or how deeply the series has branded itself into my heart.
Reading this book has left me a quivering mass of jelly, but I can’t wait to do it all over again, with the next book.
Bravo!
Thank you, Ms. Skye!

She Was Mine: An Incapable Novella by Marie Skye
5 Heart wrenching, Brilliant, new favorite series Stars
It's over...I can't believe this series is done, I'm so sad, but I read them at record speed because this author gave me no choice so now I can go back and reread and savor every word. I don't know what to say about this book as Ive pretty much stated my feelings in the first three reviews for this series. This one had me wanting to throw everything within reach except my tissues which were a necessity while reading, along with the not so attractive blowing my nose like a million times.
I genuinely fell in love with Grayson and Emmalin as well as all the other characters in this book/series, and they will stay with me for a very long time.
This story was full of pain, sadness, distress, betrayal, yet you could still feel the love shining through. I would have been happy if the story ended at book three, but this one just added to the strength of the whole story and proved that an HEA is truly never perfect, it just is.
Thank you Marie Skye for making me “feel”, thank you (i think) for making my heart hurt, thank you for giving me a story that was full of twists, turns, emotions and the fact that you made me call you every name in the book during this series. I was so mad at you so many times and I had to stop myself from finding your email and sending you nasty, tear filled messages. I sincerely hope that somewhere along the line there is more..Chace and Isabella seem unresolved at this point, I will wait and hope that maybe there will be more of Grayson, Emmalin and the rest of the gang.
I miss them already!!
Run, don't walk and one click this whole series, then before you touch them make sure you're good for a couple days because the world you're about to enter will not let go till your done.
I'm so happy I have these books on my kindle but will definitely also buy them for my shelf that holds those stories closest to my heart!!

WOW this is certainly an explosive end to the story of Emmalin and Grayson. Marie certainly has a way with words when she writes and there is so much emotion in the story telling. You will definitely need tissues to get you through this one. By the time I was finished I felt like I had been through an emotional wringer. Just like the other books about our characters, it was not all rainbows and stars, it takes you to some dark and twisted places that you are not sure you want to go but you just can’t say no and put the book down. Having said that, some of the issues that are faced in this book may not be for everyone.
Grayson and Emmalin have had many trials and tribulations, heartache and pain to overcome in the other books and they had more in this book that tore my heart out. I have felt every step of the way with these characters and had a lot invested in them. You know it is a good story when you feel so many emotions rush through you as you go on their journey with them. Even though there were a lot of hardships in this book there were also those times that made me smile. If you are a lover of this series, and even if you are not then you should read this book.

She Was Mine didn’t just break my heart. It completely shattered it. I absolutely love anything Marie Skye, and this is definitely the series of 2017 for me. But seriously, I was not ready for this book. I cannot say goodbye to Grayson and Emmalin, so I won’t. I am just going to keep reading the series, over and over, until I can bear to let go.
Grayson is the epitome of the dirty talking, alpha dominant male. Emmalin is his sassy but sweet minx who is the other half of his soul. Their lives are never lacking sensation or catastrophe. In the synopsis of She Was Mine, it is written that “Nothing ever came easy for them”. Ain’t that the truth! as a reader, I felt everything, cried at it all, laughed some more, and felt completely wrung out by the end. Never have I felt so content or fulfilled at the end of a book quite like I was at the conclusion of the Incapable series.
She Was Mine was presented to the reader in typical Marie Skye style, with many twists, characters going to any lengths to get what they want, and a never ending amount of heart stopping moments, only to be followed up by moments where I could breathe easy. The thrills and spills were almost too much to bear, but if anyone would have said to me to take a break, I would have ripped their heads off!
Marie Skye took me to unimaginable heights with the Incapable series. She Was Mine was a raw and stunning instalment into the fast paced, constant mayhem and some of the most heated and erotically charged love scenes I have ever read.. There is no limit to the creativity this author puts out there for us lucky readers. The talent is so high and complex, I cannot think of a word to aptly describe it. I sound like a crazed fan, but that is the kind of passionate response Marie Skye rips from me so effortlessly. I am a slave to this type of story and the genius that wrote this incredible book and turned it into my favourite series this year. 5 stars for Marie Skye and endless praise for She Was Mine and the spellbinding Incapable series.

Why does this woman continue to slay me? Honestly, I need the heartache. I need the pain. I need the stuff that reminds us that life is real. That it isn't one big fat happy ending. Real things happen in life that shapes and molds us. Marie Skye gives us that reminder in "She Was Mine". Grab a box of tissues, curl up and read this book. You need a reminder.
