This book will take you into the world of Burlesque, it was what drew me to it when the author asked if I would be interested in reviewing. We get a look behind the scenes and step into the life of Miss Honey Glaze. It added a uniqueness to the story that I got very wrapped up in, I loved it. I loved all the ladies at the club, each of them having their own stories and personalities to bring more to the story.Then things got complicated, because as much as I loved Honey, she had to go and tick me off...I was so mad and angry when I finished this book. Like stomping up to my room, cursing the beautiful Honey Glaze. My husband thought it was hilarious but I wasn't laughing. I was furious with Honey for responding to a certain situation the way she did. I just can't agree with or even attempt to understand why she did that and I am still so mad at her.There is only one other book that I have been so mad at a character that I was unable to read the sequel. Basically I am rebelling against the character I guess. Now before you stop reading thinking that this is a bad book let me explain. The book that I am referring to that I have refused/ was unable to read the sequel for is a HUGE success. New York Times Bestseller and a fan base like you wouldn't believe. So clearly this is me getting way to worked up over a character and holding a grudge, not a reflection that it is a bad book.Really, it's pretty hot and it clearly got me emotionally involved. I  just want to tell you how it is from my personal point of view. With the way the ending was I was left mad at Honey, how long will I be mad? I have no idea. Am I really uninterested in reading the sequel? NO, not really. Honestly I will most likely read it because I really need to know that she makes it right. And she better have a REALLY good game plan because she has a lot of making up to do. At least I feel like she does.See I am very protective on Nathan, he opened up to Honey and she knows so much about who he really is and why he acts the way he does. He trusted her with truths that he has never told anyone. Now I am not going to tell you what happens to make me so mad at her but basically she just needed to listen and she didn't and I wish that she would have. He had earned at least that much to him.To be fair though, Nathan did omit some facts and didn't tell her everything. She had every reason to be mad, heck, I am mad at him too. Although right now all I want to do is wrap him in a big hug and make he feel better. But the only one that can is Honey!Even though I spent most of this review talking about how mad I am at Honey, there is a reason beyond just what she did. R.J. Simpkin was able to get me so emotionally involved with these characters! I think that anyone who enjoyed 50 Shades or the Crossfire series would enjoy MADE FROM GREATER STONE.******There were quite a few spots in this book that I had my reading flow interrupted from spelling and grammar errors. I am not one who really gets hung up on these things and if you are a regular reader of my blog you know that I don't comment on them either. Mostly because I get ARC's, most of which have not gone through a final edit. However, I felt like there were just too many to not say anything. I did request a final version of the book just to be sure and still found errors. As you already know I was still able to enjoy the book but these errors were a distraction to me and I wanted to let you know ahead of time. They may be a distraction to you, they may not.This is also the reason that this book received a 3 heart instead of a 4 heart rating.
