TW ~ sexual content, toxic behavior/ people, rape mentions, pregnancy

Story and Grayson fight against everyone to be together. While leading secrets and gaining allies.

So happy Story and Grayson FINALLY get their happily ever after

4.5 stars for Atlas and his little nun wife!



God this book, where do I even start? Grayson is hands down the best hero I have EVER read. From his passion, possessiveness, and protectiveness over Story, the way he ripped his own bloody thorns out to fight for their destiny, the way he devoured Story's secrets and burned the ugly thoughts from her mind. Grayson Crowne is pure alpha perfection. The first 40% of the book admittedly was quite slow-building, and as much as Mary tried to redeem West, I couldn't get over his actions no matter how remorseful he was in the end.

Story slowly came into her own in this book, in Forbidden Fate Story was all over the place with her hasty decisions, but in this book, she was strong and stood up for herself. The last 40% of the book was pure perfection. The prose, the poetic imagery, I could feel their angst and emotions jumping out of the text. I could picture EVERYTHING!

The meaning behind the coins was properly explained and I enjoyed watching a certain someone get the reckoning they deserved. I felt for Grayson, Story, Lottie (she redeemed herself in this book, by the end I was tired on her behalf, imagine having your entire life and personality being dictated by someone?) and even West (he was so consumed by his need to have one thing for himself he set Story on a path of destruction, but luckily Grayson was there to pick up the pieces.)

My fav moments in this epic conclusion includes the way Story's secrets were revealed to Gray and how jagged and raw those thoughts were (especially her conflicted ones about West), Grayson as a father (men like this don't exist in real life but I'll take it) and Gemma (she's a grade-A bitch you can't help but love and I just know her and Grimm will give me enemies to lovers excellence).

Crowne Point has truly embedded itself into my soul and I cannot wait to see what happens next.

A grown up fairy tale!

I started with Stolen Soulmate and could not stop reading. I was instantly sucked into this world. I laughed and wept. These books wrecked me. But I couldn't stop, I had to know what happened next. The characters and story line are beautifully written and developed. As a child, the princesses, heroes and villains are ways easy to identify. This series just wipes the pretty frosting away to let you see the true darkness underneath!

My heart is so full. It's rare that I can finish a book and truly be content feeling as if all my questions were answered and the characters truly got their full ending.

That being said, Nothing about this read was easy! It was angsty, raw, emotional, heart breaking and redeeming all in one barbed wired bow.

I never knew I could love Grayson Crowne more but man did this book show me just how much I really could!

And Story, her growth and strength in these pages was so admirable and needed. Im so glad that we got to see this side of her.

I could go on and on but short story, This is the type of book that is going to stay with me forever. These characters, even the ones I hated and grew to love, are embedded inside of me.

This is a MUST read so strap in and get ready for a wild ride.

I was nervous going into this last book of Grayson and Story not because I had doubts on if it would be good or not, I knew it would be epic but I also knew it wasn’t going to be an easy road for them or us readers. As I sat down and devoured this book in one night I had to take a moment to gather my thoughts and emotions, again not because I didn’t like it, no it was because this book put me through the ringer with anticipation, curiosity of what would happen next, and trying to put myself in the character’s shoes. Story is trying to protect and help Grayson out by sacrificing herself so that he doesn’t lose anything that makes him who he is, but by doing so she is now in the clutches of someone she can’t trust and in situations she isn’t sure she will ever get out of. Their story seems like it will be a tragedy and I guess in some ways it is, but we hope for the best and what we get as readers is a journey of two souls that belong together and odds are stacked against them, yet through hopeless days and secretive nights they still cling to hope that the future will look brighter. I know this is vague but trust me the emotions I felt while reading not just this book but the whole series was well worth it because it is made to be felt and not explained. The story does pickup where the last left us and we follow not only the main characters but a few others journey on how they can overcome the odds, stand up for what they want, and hope for the best. There were a few times I wanted Story to just run back to Grayson and them set off in the sun but I knew that could never happen and there were times I was like “Grayson dude stop rubbing your lip with your pinky and do something!” I went through almost every emotion anyone can think of and that’s when I realized that this was an epic journey that not only the characters live through but also us readers and it’s amazing how an author can bring it all to life for us.

What an ending! Gray and Story’s love is epic, and MCG finally ties it all together with this heart-wrenching, rollercoaster of an ending. Definitely getting the HEA they deserve, which is what we’ve all been dying for.

West, the villain and the hero. He loved Story for the wrong reasons, and my heart is broken for him. He truly loved her, and was devastated that she didn’t love him back.

I loved Lottie in this book. She’s always been a bit of a villain and tragically misunderstood, but she’s so much more human in the book, and her character really came full circle.

Story and Gray...finally, after all this time...they get to walk in the sun together. I hope to see more of them in Gremma’s book, because I’m going to miss them so much. It’s been a long three books, but this story has been so epic, MCG lays it all out there, and it’s so worth the wait.
I loved seeing how Story grew a backbone over three books and learned to look you instead of down, and I I’ve how Gray turned into the hero he was meant to be, for his family and for Story and their baby.

I hope to see the triplets in their own books one day. And maybe an extended epilogue for Story and Gray...ahh I’ll just keep dreaming of blonde haired babies and Crowne Hall!

I couldn’t handle it anymore

I have been waiting ages for this conclusion. I needed Story to have the ending she deserves. I needed Grayson’s to be what he needed, not what he wanted. The story was good, not as all-consuming as the first two books however. This conclusion carried a slow-burn that I just couldn’t handle, so I skipped all the way to the end to satisfy the desperation that it built in me and satisfied I was.
