Presley Marks has just become a cliché: the jilted bride. Wearing a white dress, standing in front of her friends and family, she announces that her fiancé—according to his text—has forgotten about the wedding. Humiliated and angry, she hides from the world in the mundane routine of her life. Working at the Clifton Forge Garage isn’t glamorous, but it’s safe from the spotlight. At least it was, until Shaw Valance comes to town. The notorious Hollywood actor is starring in a movie based on the town’s infamous murder. When he’s not on set, Shaw hovers at the garage, watching as they build his custom motorcycle and irritating her with his handsome smile. He was supposed to leave once filming wrapped and go back to his fancy life, not buy the house next door. But Shaw might regret that purchase once Presley’s ex-fiancé returns, bringing with him a war between old rivals that could burn both their houses down 4.5 Heart Review by Ashley Me being a Devney Perry fan is no secret, I've read all of her words. But there was something about Stone Princess that kept my kindle glued to my hands. I think it was finally getting to know Presley. She has always been around, in the periphery of the other stories in the Tin Gypsy series, but this one was all her. I loved that little spitfire. She was feisty and bold. Kind and unbelievably brave. She had her heart smashed more than once in her life, but she kept getting up and doing what she had to. She was a survivor. And as she was building herself back up after once again being let down in a major way, the one and only Shaw Valance had to strut his sexy self into her world. Swoon city with a cherry on top! Equal parts charming and arrogant but he had the goods to back it up. He was a man on a mission when he rolled into Clifton Forge but he wasn't expecting Presley. The way she challenged him. Made him pause and think. Made him smile. And he did everything he could think of just to spend more time in her presence. There was no denying the connection these two made. They were electric between the sheets. But, it was the quiet moments where they just let go and be themselves that really made me melt. But there was always a countdown on their time together. And when that day came, everything changed. Whew! Devney Perry pulled no punches and put me through the ringer with the final third of this book. A few unexpected guests brought the drama and danger. And stuck in the middle of it was Presley. Talk about pulse pounding! I couldn't read fast enough to learn how it would end. And it all happened so fast that my mind is still spinning. Full of family, redemption, forgiveness and love, Stone Princess was a true page turner. Presley and Shaw's journey was playful and passionate. And that ending! It had me smiling and jumping around with the rest of the crew from the garage. About the Author Devney is a USA Today bestselling author.
