Review: Heart of Stone Trilogy Box Set
Rating: 3 out of 5

This is the "Heart of Stone" Trilogy. The story of Tristan Stone and Nina Edwards.I will say I purchased the first book "Crash Into Me" first but after reading many reviews I purchased the box set since you can't know what happens by reading just the first book. The first two books end in a cliffhanger. While that usually bothers me, it didn't in this occasion because I was forewarned and ready with the next book.The story started a little off for me because it wasn't too believable. However, it did get better once I got over that. There were too many secrets in the first book that didn't have to wait till the end to be uncovered since this might put some readers off due to the confusion it caused instead of intriguing the reader. The books also need a good proofreading to catch the many mistakes in spelling and in print. And now that I got the negative out of the way I can tell you about what I did like.Tristan was just to die for. I loved the way he loved Nina and how she in turn made him open up. Nina didn't put up with anything she didn't like and wasn't afraid to say it. Four years after losing his parents and his twin brother Tristan was still dealing with the guilt of the sins of his family. All the things his father had done he was now paying for. He was beautiful, successful, and could ha e anything and anyone he wanted yet he wasn't happy and he didn't think he ever could be. That is until he meets Nina and all that he thought he couldn't have is starting right at him. Now that he has her he will never willingly let her go. But a terrible event threatens to take her away forever which sends Tristan's world spiraling into a void. Will he really lose the only thing that matters in his life?Nina grew up without a mother and just four years ago lost her father after he was murdered over an investigation he was conducting. She's finally working in an art gallery. She's happy even when her boss gives her the worst jobs. Working one night she meets a man that she has no idea will turn her entire life upside down. But she can't stop looking into those Brown eyes to save her life. What could a man like Tristan Stone want with her? Could he ever love someone as ordinary as her? But as she will soon learn nothing is ever as it seems and the o my real thing in her life is the love Tristan and her share. So when secrets come out and her heart is shattered, will she forgive Tristan? Or will they both loose the only real love either one has ever had?Their relationship had many ups and downs but the one thing that was a constant was their love for each other. I enjoyed the story and just when you thought you knew everything, something new came out. The second book was better and by the third I was just feeling whiplash. I felt like many things were unnecessary and didn't really add to the story (like her stupid sister Kim.) The end was nice but it felt like forever before we got there and then I was left wanting a little more. I loved Nina's best friend, Jordan and I wish we can see her story with Gage in future books.Overall it was a good story and I enjoyed it for the most part.
