Stolen Love

Stolen Love is the final book in the phenomenal Beauty in the Stolen Trilogy which concludes the story of Cas and Ian. The book begins at the unbelievable cliffhanger at the end of the second book, Stolen Life. Detective Wolfe has not given up his pursuit of the couple since they have found the answers to certain truths. This book is a very emotional read which will take you to the depths of despair, the burn of revenge, the anxiety of being hunted, and the steam of passionate attraction and love. Stolen Love is a well written romance packed with unexpected twists, drama, and action. I highly recommend this sensational trilogy!

This is the third and final book starring Cas and Ian who is one of the Hart brothers. Lina, my favorite character in the Diamond world makes an appearance along with her soulmate, Damian Hart. Fingers crossed for a Leon Hart trilogy. I would be remised if I failed to mention the gorgeous and vivid covers. Some of the most beautiful artwork has accompanied this trilogy - more than likely because it's a story that elicits very strong emotions from the reader. This is a page turning drama that does not follow the expected path. Without writing spoilers, I'm truly at a loss to describe Charmaine Pauls' stories. Her stories are sometimes gut wrenching for the reader, but page turning at the same time. You truly feel everything these characters are going through and I'm eagerly awaiting the next Charmaine Pauls' read which will be a collaboration with Anna Zaires.

Well done Charmaine! I absolutely loved the conclusion to Ian and Cas. I don’t know how Charmaine does it but every single story will keep you turning the page until the very end. I loved Ian she is eveything I look for in a alpha character, with just the right about of romance. You don’t want to miss this epic trilogy!

One of the BEST series of 2021!!! Charmaine Pauls captured me with book 1, Stolen Lust; I was completely addicted by book 2, Stolen Life; and book 3, Stolen Love, has left me completely love with the Beauty in the Stolen trilogy! The author came out running with this series and she blew through the finish line magnificently! There are not enough words to convey how great Cas and Ian's story was. This dark romance was full of surprises and twists, but it was also heartbreaking and very emotional. To say I was obsessed with this story would be an understatement. I highly recommend this 5 star series to anyone who loves a dark romance!!!

I was waiting on pins and needles for this conclusion to the Beauty in the Stolen trilogy. Truly, no one leaves you with a more awaited follow-up after a cliffhanger than Charmaine Pauls. I’m endlessly grateful the books in this trilogy came out so quickly after one another, because the suspense might have actually killed me if there were months or (shudder) years to wait in between books. That said, the sheer delight of opening Stolen Love and starting this thrilling, unexpected conclusion made it worth the wait. I love Ian and Cas. They have such a beautiful pull towards one another. Even when things appear to be absolutely impossible, there is a palpable, deep affection for one another that makes them perfect together. These two can withstand anything together, and that’s good because they have to, again and again. To refrain from spoilers, all I can say is there were major issues from the previous books which were resolved beautifully and naturally and new major issues which bring the trilogy to a brilliant conclusion. I was worried we would spend the entire novel waiting for a big reveal. I really dislike when books are centered on a big misunderstanding. I should have known Charmaine Pauls would move things along quickly, highlighting the connection and understanding between Ian and Cas then sending them promptly off to action, instead of wasting time on things left unsaid. On top of the great love and dialogue between the pair, there is so much action and excitement in this book! When Ian and Cas band together to trump their greatest rival, it was done with an intrigue and flair that reminded me of the best parts of a heist movie. When things went awry, my heart stopped. It was so thrilling to read this book and it took twists and turns I didn't expect. I have to say that Ian dials the hotness up to a ten every time he opens his mouth. This criminal man is the world’s best danger boyfriend. While Cas was a sweet survivor in the first two books, there is a hardness to her in Stolen Love that fits perfectly with Ian now. Watching Ian take in and soak up her new persona with awe is one of the hottest things of all time. Stolen Love is emotional, heart-pounding, sexy, healing, exhilarating, and full of surprises. This book has all the things I love so much about Charmaine Pauls’ writing- the pace is just right, the characters feel real, the dialogue is fantastic, and the plot unfolds in unexpected and gratifying ways. And we got to catch up with Damian and Lina! I’ve come to love this entire series, and Ian’s family, so much. I can’t wait to read Leon’s story!

Hold onto your seat because this last book is going to take you for a ride! Scratch that, this whole series is going to take you for a ride. I loved it. It was action packed, which means it read very fast. Ian is everything you can want in an anti hero. Cas seemed too innocent at first but once Ian corrupted her heart, she turned out to be quite the anti heroine as well. I enjoyed every moment of this couple, their story, and the Hart siblings that we got sneak peaks of. If you have enjoyed her other Hart series, you will enjoy this one just as much if not more.

Oh what a conclusion. The ending to Ian and Cas’s story was heartbreaking and loving all at the same time. It had me by the tips of my fingers aching to find out what happens. The drama and suspense throughout the story just up the thrill factor by a million. It is a stunning story and series that is absolutely going to keep you glued to it. The story is so beautifully written that I would love to see a movie made out of it. It would be an absolute blockbuster. Ian is one that will have your heart tied up in knots with joy. Cas is so incredibly loyal and loving that you absolutely adore her. Together they make one heck of a couple. The chemistry between them is felt throughout the story and series. This is one magnificent story that doesn’t disappoint.

Stolen Love was superb, and everything about it stole my heart! I was emotional right away, and my heart broke for Cas. Through all three book she was a beautiful, brave, sassy fighter, and I loved and admired her. Let’s just say I was not sure I could forgive Ian until I heard his side of the story. Can what was stolen then seemingly destroyed be saved? I really did not know how this would all work out, but this author wove a superb redemption filled with twists, love, and all kinds of tears (sad, swoony, happy) that permanently stole my heart. I highly recommend this trilogy! I requested and received an advanced copy of this ebook for my honest review that I am voluntarily leaving.

Loved reading the enthralling and engrossing third book in Beauty in the Stolen trilogy. While Ian is still grieving the loss of Cas, Cas has one goal in life to get revenge on Ian for her death. Ian's one goal is to save Cas' life and get her to safety. Read the highly recommended, wonderfully written, riveting storyline, and a must read love story.
