BLURB.

Ian Hart is the most notorious criminal in the country. Like the thief he is, he came in the dark and stole a night of my life.

He left me with souvenirs. Disaster and fear are my new realities. I’ll forever look over my shoulder, terrified he’d return, because when he took me, he stole more than just a few hours of my time.

His crime has consequences neither of us could’ve imagined. If I’m to escape the nightmare of my life, I have to outsmart him. If I’m to survive, I have to outwit every enemy he’s turned against me, including Ian himself, the most dangerous and cleverest man I know.

*STOLEN LUST is Book 1 of the Beauty in the Stolen trilogy and ends on a cliffhanger. Book 2 will be released on 18 May 2021 and Book 3 on 22 June 2021.

MY REVIEW.

4 Stars from Tiffany!
⭐⭐⭐⭐

Big Action in a Little Book!

Charmaine Pauls crams a whole lot o action in the first book of the Beauty in the Stolen series. We meet Ian and Cas, two people that couldn't be more different and yet wind up risking thier lives for each other.

Ian is a bad guy to put it mildly. A bad guy that actually has a heart and that heart is set on Cas. He knows he's not good for her, but can't help himself, no matter the consequences. Cas is almost a woe is me story, which I find annoying, however she's a pretty tough girl that knows what she wants and tries her best not to let her past weigh her down. I like that she was fragile in a way and yet took some big chances with her life.

Once Ian realizes how much trouble he has caused the innocent Cas by carjacking her and her friend on a desolate road, his only mission now is to keep her safe. Much to the dismay of his other two partners in crime. They don't understand this infatuation and frankly, neither does he, he just knows he's not letting her go.

The book is well written and even though I'm not a fan of insta-love, it was kind of sweet and scary how obsessed Ian is with Cas. He's really a big ole teddy bear hiding behind that nasty life of crime.

The book is a quick and interesting read and of course leaves us on the cliff waiting to see what is going to happen next.
