Heart of Stone (The Stone Series Book 1)

Product Information

I mostly appreciated how the author has left Krystina with a part of her independence, even if her struggle to comply with Alex’s wishes is visible.

Competitive by nature, she was determined to win a reading contest and blitzed through every Sweet Valley High book she could get her hands on. I was bewildered by Mr Stone in such ways that he was willing to be a different Dom than he normally all for this one girl girl. Secrets of their past that they aren't ready to share is preventing them from becoming a fully committed relationship. The more I read the more I found I was drawn to the plot, the characters and Dakota willink’s writing!Despite this being a long book, it maintained its momentum throughout and the story built to its conclusion which sets the scene for the next instalment. Though worlds apart they have a undying connection to one another and while leading a different lifestyle they manage to fulfil each one as their own addiction. As a side note, I read reviews that mention 50 Shades, whether they were comparing or not comparing. I have mixed feelings about this book - part of which stems from not caring for the female narrators voice and some from the fact that it was so similar to FSOG. I felt he was an annoying character who did not come off as being protective, more like he was a bossy ass and sometimes I felt his dialogue did not fit his character.

The chemistry is like hot lava but both are stubborn and have a past that they don’t wanna open about. And I must say I was thrilled that you were so informative with the lifestyle and how it coveted in the story. Krys is understandably concerned and surprised by Alex’s declaration but her fears of entering into a D/s relationship stem from deeper emotions than even Alex could ever have anticipated. They both want each other and so Stone comes up with an arrangement that leaves Krystina a little on the fence.I'd like to first, thank the Author for allowing me to read and review her work, and second, thank you for your patience in waiting for my review. Open and transparent about his interest in BDSM, Alex tentatively explains to Krys what he is looking for in a Sub and what he hopes they can share together. At 430 pages and a cliffhanger ending, Heart of Stone takes too long to tell what could have been a compelling, heart stopping romance.

I don't know why, maybe because I'm tired of reading the same again and again, but I skipped the sex scenes, and for me, it was an okay book. He likes to be in control of every aspect of his life and believes he is until a chance meeting with one Krystina Cole and it knocks him for a loop because he can't figure her out, so therefore, he's not in control. She knew better than that – at least until she met Alexander Stone, the New York billionaire real estate tycoon. By using the Web site, you confirm that you have read, understood, and agreed to be bound by the Terms and Conditions. But what I did love about the characters was that each character had a detailed, intense backstory and I loved that tid bit included.

I enjoyed that what Alex initially meant to be an occasional thing a few nights a week suddenly became a need to have her with him always. From International Bestselling Author Dakota Willink comes the fourth book in The Stone Series , a Christmas novel that sets the stage for the final installment of Alexander and Krystina’s epic love story. In between playing chauffeur to two very busy teenagers and working her job during the day, Dakota began to put words on paper. After an embarrassing first introduction, for Krys, Stone sees something in her innocence and beauty that makes him question his beliefs about relationships. Throughout the book, we are teased with Alex’s secretive and mysterious background which seems to underpin who he is today.
