Stone Princess: 3 (Clifton Forge)

(I voluntarily reviewed an eARC of the book on For The Love of Fictional Worlds)Anything Devney Perry writes; I am gonna read – because she has shown me that everything that she writes will turn out to be brilliantly binge – worthy!Stone Princess is all about Presley, the one who is trying really hard to move on from the fact that she was left behind on the alter by the one man, no one in her makeshift family believed was good enough for her.Presley was a character, a protagonist that would end up rooting for – she is as real as it gets. She was who she was, did not play any games and her past was as intriguing as who she had become today, as a human being.Shaw, on the other hand was.. in one word – Swoony. I swear, there is no other word for it – I don’t really read Hollywood hero romances; but Shaw was so much more. His past defined not only his present (like Presley) but also his reason to film the story of the infamous murder in the town.Stone Princess was a book that I couldn’t stop reading (and neither will you!) – not only is it an emotional small town romance; but it was a book that would keep you intrigued right till the end; and even beyond that – my patience to wait for the next book is wearing thin; not because I want to know what happens, but because I NEED to – it is a physical need, I am DYING over here!

Stone princess is the third book of the Tin Gypsies Series and it can be read stand-alone. The other two books of the tin Gypsies are Gypsy king and Riven knight and these two can also be read stand-alone.This story is of Presley who is working as the manager in the Clifton Forge Garage for the last ten years. She had suffered soo much in her life and she never uttered a single word about it to anyone not even her co-workers/ family of the garage but this time everything was different, as the person whom she trusted the most had left her on the wedding aisle. He left her like she was nothing for him.Though Presley was a brave one and she was ready to start her life again but If you are with Tin Gypsy gang you won't be able to do it peacefully.An actor/producer Shaw valance wanted to make a movie on Dash's father Draven, Genevieve's mother murder and Markus, a police inspector and for that, he needs to come to the city Clifton forge for the shooting and to get the exact information for the same. He needs to talk to all the people who have seen and experienced things. So that he can perform best for the movie.So, when he went Clifton forge Garage to talk to the people, he came to know that he is not at all welcomed here until he came across Presley who not only gave him the cold shoulder but also tells him what he is doing and his perspective for Markus is wrong. She was the only girl who is not into his looks and money otherwise most women are just for that in his life.But we all know every story is not about butterflies, hugs and kisses. The same was with them also. Presley had made her mind clear that she will not trust anybody soo easily and become a cold-hearted person. Will Shawn be able to make her fall in love with her?The plot of this book is different from the other books of the Tin Gypsies series which is the specialty of this book. Though the characters in the book mainly remain the same as the other two books, some were new and amazingly described by the author. The Development of characters was one thing which I liked the most.Overall, the book was amazing and if you have read other books in the series you will enjoy more.ARC was generously provided for an honest review.

Presley and Shaw oh my, I’m in love. After the first 2 books it was nice to have a bit of a breather from the suspense and mystery. It was such a cute small town romance! This story continues where the 3 year time jump in Riven Knight left off. Presley has been stood up, and not only has her fiancé stood her up but on their wedding day none the less. Distraught and heartbroken she’s left trying to pick up the pieces and move on from the humiliation of being left at the altar. Enter Shaw our Hollywood heart throb, he’s come to town to star in a movie based on the murder that happened in Clifton forge three years ago. He finds himself at the garage where Presley works and is instantly enamoured by her. They embark on an unlikely friendship where he’s left wanting more, queue him accidentally buying the house next door, things then start to fall into place.I’m obsessed with this relationship! My heart always ached for Presley in the previous books and reading her story made me fall in love with her, I adore the found family trope in this setting and reading more about her and Draven’s father daughter type relationship had my heart aching all over again. After everything she’s been through she deserves the relationship she builds with Shaw. I adore the fact that the end of each book leaves you with an opening to the next book and what an ending this book had! I’m excited to see more of Scarlett and Luke and although I needed this cute love filled romance, I’m looking forward to the suspense that I’m sure is coming in the next book!

I was unsure how much I was going to connect with Pressley, she’s understandably kept on the fray of a lot of the action in the first two books but by the end of the first chapter I was solidly in love with her.When a film crew lands in Clifton Forge intent on making a movie out of the tragedy suffered by our characters in book 1 and 2 Pressley takes it upon herself to learn from Hollywood’s hearthrob and the star of the movie, Shaw Valance, exactly what the movie will involve.This took a little step away from the disbanded motorcycle club to focus on Pressley but it still kept the small town, family feel that I loved in the first two books. Although I did think Pressley’s romance was going to come from a different source I really loved the blossoming romance between Shaw and Pressley. Pressley was such a strong character and I loved her from start to finish, she was such a firecracker and despite her heartache in the beginning she had such a realistic view of her life.Shaw’s protective nature, despite his different lifestyle meant he fit so easily in to this family, how quickly Dash and the gang accepted him just warmed my little heart.The drama didn’t let up in this one and the ending had me on the edge of my chair and immediately picking up book 4.

This is Presley Marks’ story , the feisty receptionist from the Clifton Forge Garage little is known about her background until now. Engaged to Jeremiah ( but he’d refused to buy a ring that should have been a warning ) she was now getting ready to marry him in the Forges’ back yard sadly though she’s not going to get her choice of who walks her down the aisle as he’s no longer with us . Certainly after all the recent drama and heartache everyone is looking now for something positive and to a safe future . Although the boys Dash ,Emmett ,Leo & Isaiah have all warned her that Jeremiah was no good for her ,but things are a little more complicated as he’s now a member of a rival MC gang . That’s the least of her problems though when as she’s ready to walk down the aisle on her wedding day she finds out that the groom is not coming as he’s forgotten that it was his wedding day !!!!. Hurt and humiliated her friends rally round to help her get through this , but there’s even more upheaval waiting in the wings when a film crew descend upon the sleepy town as they are going to make Genevieve’s mothers murder into a film . The part of Marcus, the bent chief of police is to be played by the hot gorgeous actor Shaw Valance ,who wastes no time in letting Presley know that he’s interested in her . As with the preceding books there’s a lot going on but we do get Presley’ story in full and how at the tender age of 18 yrs she ended up working at Clifton ForgeGarage and how Draven and the Tin Gypsies that worked there protected her . We also get Shaws back story as well although not horrific as Presley’s is but he certainly has some Daddy issues . After suffering years of violent abuse we discover how she ended up with the deadbeat Jeremiah and how he’s linked with her twin sister who was supposed to make the journey to freedom with Presley all those years ago . When her sister shows up at her home it’s not long before they are put in a very dangerous situation . Question is can Shaw together with Dash & his brothers get to Presley and her sister in time ? .......... I think we can guess 😍😍 . The only down side is that I’ve got to wait until November for the next one in the series to find out what happens next ......it’s already on preorder 😉

Stone Princess is the third book in the Tin Gypsy series. Presley Marks is slowly rebuilding her life after the humiliation after being left quite literally standing at the altar after her fiancé ‘forgot’ he was supposed to be getting married. The last thing she needs is some Hollywood bigshot coming to Clifton Forge and raking up the recent past that her friends and family were central to and making a movie about it. When she meets Shaw Valance there is an instant attraction on both sides even though they are complete opposites. Now all Presley has to do is convince Shaw that no really does mean NO!!!This series just keeps getting better. It has everything you could want from a book. Strong characters that have flaws. The heroes aren’t perfect. They’re human. They make mistakes and jump to conclusions but ultimately aren’t afraid to apologise when they’re wrong. They also know what they want and nothing will stop them when they set their sights on someone or something. The heroines are all strong willed women, capable of standing up for themselves. The writing is amazing especially the dialogue between the H/h. Reading the exchanges between Shaw and Presley was almost like watching a tennis match, the chemistry was so palpable between them. The underlying plot with the rival biker gang that started in Gypsy King continues in Stone Princess building the tension and setting the scene for the next book involving Presley’s sister Scarlett and local sheriff Luke Rosen and I can’t wait to read Noble Prince releasing soon.I would definitely recommend reading this series in order of release so you can enjoy the story fully.

Stone Princess is the third book in the Tin Gypsy series by Devney Perry, and if you love MC/ small town romances, then this one will be for you.The book is about Presley, the Clifton Forge Garage secretary. You learn that she has been jilted on her wedding day, by her no good, MC biker boyfriend Jeremiah. Presley is devastated, feeling like a fool for trusting the one man all of her friends warned her about. But Presley is resilient, she has already been through too much to let this fester, so she does what she needs to do, forced herself to get back up, and return to normality.But when Shaw Valance, a hot shot actor turned producer arrived in Clifton Forge to work on Dark Paradise, the film about Presley’s frienda mother’s murder, she is protective and determined to keep him at a distance.Presley fears that the film with lack authenticity and paint her much loved boss Draven in a bad light. She can’t bear the thought as he had been like a father to her, so she wants more than anything to hate Shaw. But her and Dash see it as an opportunity to learn more, to try and find out more about the inner workings of the film, and Presley is determined to be the one to retrieve the answers.Shaw is besotted with Presley from the onset. She is unlike any woman he has ever met, and he can’t understand why she is always telling him ‘no’. But can he woo her enough to turn that no into a yes?A beautiful story that continues the drama of my favourite motor cycle club. The characters are all loveable, and Shaw and Presley’s romance is on fire.The perfect read for those who love the wild antics of an MC world.
