the characters are bad, the writing is bad, the story is bad ... and on top of that this is apparently a trilogy and not a standalone?
what did the author smoke before writing this and how do i get the magic recipe to turn off my brain for long enough to read this bull****

A book that should come with a recovery guide for your emotional healing

This book will forever be with me; as a reader I’ve got no idea where to go from here. What book to I grab next when it seems foolish to expect that just any book would do?

I’m completely and undeniably dumbfounded by how perfect this story is and I don’t know how long it will take for the aftershocks to ware off.

This book will make you want to put a pause on life. No time for even a water break. It’s THAT level of perfection.

I have to stop requesting arcs of authors I don't know nothing about, but in my defense the first book was in my tl too much, so I was interested in this series.
Stolen Soulmate is such a strange book, first you can't stop reading because the dark aspects of the story and characters are so interesting, but this just didn't work for me.
1. the guy is a jerk, which I was expecting because this is dark bully romance, but the fact that he's always pushing her and leaving her behind in the floor when she's crying it's disgusting, like, her knees must hurt so much
2. there's a scene where the guy fingered another girl in front of her, knowing her feelings towards him and after they kinda started the relationship, and the reason why he did it? he was mad because she didn't want to tell him what they were, like how is she going to tell you if you treat her like shit????
3. there's really not development of the characters at all, she had a crush on him and she never fights back, not even at the end, and him is a piece of trash and he changes for like a paragraph and that's it.
and what I liked:
1. I really love the vulnerability he showed sometimes, but it doesn't matter because in the next chapter his progress gets ruined
2. Story has potential as a character and I really wish that this author gives her a better arc in the next book

HOLY HELL!

I received this ARC and I was truly not ready for this book. I was immediately intrigued by Grayson and Story's storyline but when shit hit the fan it busted the whole damn ceiling!! I was gripping the edge of my seat waiting for shoe after shoe to drop! I seriously cannot wait for Book 3 and to find out how it all ends!

Oh, My Heart!!! Curse you Gebhard (Not Really I flove you) But I'm so not okurrr!!! I feel like I just fell flat on my A33! The wind knocked out of me! I just sat there after that ending and stared off into space for like ten minutes! So stunned! This book was everything I was not expecting! I have to say I think I love Gray better than Addie and that's so crazy! Gray is nothing like your expecting, scratch that this story is nothing like you're prepared for! I was so consumed from start to finish! Gebhard is Magnificent! I was so lost, caught up in this world of Crown and all the secrets and lies, I needed it more than I needed air! My heart was ripped from my chest over and over for these wonderful characters! I was never expecting to fall as hard as I did for Gray and Story. Their tale is a hard one, so much stands in their way, so much was never supposed to happen, never part of the plan! Or is it, is fate really this cruel? My heart is still trying to beat out of my chest! AHHH I even have feelings battling around inside me for Lottie! Lord help me! I need the next book like nothing else!! It was sexy and intoxicating, it's truly a book that makes you hope! This is a phenomenal read! It's gripping and emotionally wreaking, It's EVERYTHING! Does Heavy lie the Crowne?
*Stolen Soulmate is book two in the Crowne Point series. You don't have to read book one to know what's happening but I do recommend it because Heartless Hero was Fantastic! This is one series you don't want to miss! I received an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Oh. My. God. I am dead. I died from the unrelenting angst and overwhelming emotions that this book evoked in my little, black heart. Man, oh man. I just knew, since the first book, that Grayson and Story's love story will be one hell of a doozy. But I wasn't prepared for its devastating effect. Like Abby, Grayson is so much more than what he projects to the world. And yes, you guessed it right. I went ahead and fell in love with him. He had me- hook, line and sinker. The slow burn of romance nearly killed me, but it just sucked me in deeper and made me more emotionally invested to Story and Grayson. But the ending, argh! I need the next book, ASAP!!!

This book was so. Freaking. Angsty! I loved it. Gray is very complex. There’s more to him than it seems. He does make so stupid decisions, but he’s young-so that makes it more real? But yes I am very anxiously awaiting the next one!

This book shattered me, it took my heart and soul put it in a blender then gathered it all up and tried to piece it together again just to throw it against the wall. Sounds dramatic right?! Well seriously this book messed with my feelings so hard that if I had written a review immediately after reading it there would be a insane amount of f bombs throughout this review, so after some time to process this read I can honestly say that it is such a great read but be prepared for some intense emotions that you may trouble dealing with. This book follows Grayson Crowne the arrogant rich playboy who takes no crap from no one and everyone does everything he says but they stay out of his way. Story is a servant that has worked for the Crowne family for years and one day she makes a mistake and steals a kiss that is not meant for her and this becomes the begin of her downfall. Grayson thinks that Story has ruined everything he has worked for since she learns some of his secrets and ruined his chance with the love of his life, so he is set out to make her pay. Grayson is cruel, unkind, and a huge tormentor to Story but through all his acts of hate we start to see the real Grayson that he hides within. This is the Grayson that I fell in love with along with Story. These two are enemies that become lovers, and somehow then become stolen soulmates but life and other things have different plans. I seriously loved this book even if I cussed Grayson and his family so much. I loved this unique story and how we are left wondering what if and I may have been angry at the end, but I am desperately dying to know how we go from here. If things are set in stone and he is truly the heir of society and his path can’t be changed and Story is the always ignored servant that society looks down on how will they make it through?????
The angst is tangible, the hurt is real, and the what the ____ is swimming in my head. This author took me for one heck of a ride, and I can’t wait for more.

Wow. Just wow. Stolen Soulmate takes you on a journey for Grey and Story. And what a journey it is! It starts off as a tumultuous (non)relationship, but out of the bad blooms a beautiful story of true love, and let me tell you, the cliff hanger is worth the wait to see what comes next for Grey and Story! Cannot wait for the next!
