A review by read_on_reader
Stolen Soulmate by Mary Catherine Gebhard

5.0

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.
