Wow where do I start.  I so want to do this series justice.  Sucks not being a professional writer.  As a reader I have a tendency to write the entire story. I promise I won’t.  I’ll try and hit on key points because Heart of Stone Trilogy is Tristan’s and Nina’s emotional love story.  With this box set you have it all at your fingertips and no waiting for the next release.  You can be blown away all at once.Tristan Stone, rich, gorgeous, lonely.  He has everything and can buy anything, except the one thing he really wants.  Nina Edward’s Heart.Imagine falling so deeply in love with someone, having your heart fully exposed and vulnerable to one person, and that person completely owns your heart and soul. You never thought you were capable of loving someone like that.  Well that’s exactly what happened to Tristan.  In Crash into me Tristan fell head over heels for Nina, we got to see the tender side of him, his vulnerable side, his protective side, and his commitment to Nina. UNTIL that one horrible night and a tragic accident that took it all away.This trilogy starting with Crash Into Me is full of intrigue, mystery, secrets, lies and romance.  What started out as redemption on Tristan’s part (which you really don’t realize until later) ends up in the most amazing love story.  I will not go into detail because I don’t want to spoil anything for the readers.  One thing I will say because I actually choked up was when he told her he loved her.  I’m getting the goose bumps now.  As you continue reading you will see and finally semi figure out what’s going on behind the scenes.  The ending of this story made me cry.  I was crushed for Tristan and so hope things get better for him in Fall into MeAt the end of Fall into Me, we have Tristan leaving Nina, giving her the house and enough money for the rest of her life.  He does this to keep her safe.  Not only is Nina in danger Tristan himself is being hunted down and it’s best to stay clear of her and take the attention off her.  My heart bled for Nina, she fell in love with Tristan all over again even knowing what his family (father and brother) had done.  When you read Fall into Me you’ll understand my statement.So opening chapter of Give into Me, Tristan has been gone for months, Nina is going out of her mind.  She is an emotional wreck and is afraid Tristan won’t come back. She’s got a little ritual going on, every morning she texts Tristan and every night.  And every morning and every night there is no response.  Tristan has not tried to get in touch with her.  What Nina doesn’t know is that this separation is throwing Tristan into a black hole.  He started to go down the path of drugs and alcohol but managed to pull himself out.  It wasn’t easy.  Neither one of them is handling the situation well at all, but Tristan refuses to contact Nina and put her in danger.  He needs to find out what Karl is up to and what Karl is looking for.  Tristan’s best bud Daryl (if you want to call him that) has been working every angle and trying to find anything that would explain what Karl is up to.  Tristan has just about memorized Nina’s father’s notebook but isn’t finding anything.  Until one afternoon he decides to re-read the notes and comes across something.  Not sure what it is, he and Daryl discuss.  Daryl also lets Tristan know that several of his properties have been ransacked, so they know Karl is looking for something.  But what is the question and what is Karl afraid of.  Tristan is starting to get antsy and Nina’s texts are tearing his heart out.  It is so hard for him not to respond.  And it’s so hard for the readers not to be emotionally vested in these characters. Ms. Scott did an excellent job of drawing us into the lives of Tristan and Nina. It was as if we were them.  I can honestly say this trilogy is so worth multiple reads.  And don’t forget to pick up Ever After the novella of Tristan’s and Nina’s HEA you won’t be disappointed.Coming soon Club X her first book releasing July 13th “Temptation” so you’ll have plenty of time to pick up and read “Heart of Stone” box set along with Ever After and then slide right into Club X.
