☆✮ My Review ✮☆
*I was offered a review copy via the author in exchange for an honest review. Thank you!!*
Stone of Thieves was a definite refresher from all the other books I had been reading lately. It had danger, it had excitement, it had intrigue, and it also had some romance thrown in the midst.
I felt like throughout the story line, I was constantly mystified by the enthrall of the plot and characters that I kept wondering: What is the Stone of Thieves and what can it do? What will happen next? And how will Robin embrace her new found sense of self from the uptight upbringing that she had grown up to?
You see, Robin grew up in a privileged and sheltered lifestyle but when she learns the truth about her mother and her Gypsy lineage, this all reawakens her to reevaluate everything she’s ever believed and valued.
Joined by love Creek, Robin goes through a lot of change and development throughout her journey. With her learning more about herself and her becoming the next Gypsy Queen, chaos and darker themes come into play and threaten Robin’s very own life. How will everything play out? And with the magical Ruby Heart (or "Stone of Thieves") in her possession, can she keep this magical talisman out of enemy's hands and from those who would kill to wield its mystical power? Read and you will find out!
Get ready for to embark on an exciting journey encompassed with thrill, magic, and sensuality! I think I should probably check out book one in the series now as I have the feeling that I had missed some of Robin and Creek scenes in that. Hmm..
Anyway, thank you to the author for extending an invitation for me to read and review her book in return for some honest feedback. I enjoyed this read tremendously and look forward to more! Robin’s character was such a breath of fresh air and the overprotective Creek made me fawn and squee for whenever he entered a scene! lol
Such a fun, captivating, and exciting whimsical read! Definitely "robbed" my heart!♥
