BLURB

"Wow! This book it's HOT. Sultry, and steamy all the way.  Great world-building, characters you root for, and passion. What more can you ask for?" Amazon bestselling author, Skye Jones

Mine to protect. Mine to claim... She is MINE

DANTE

I'm a trained assassin. Enlisted by the Fae Corps and instructed to kill, there is no place in my life for a fated mate.

Then Gia crashes into my life.

Flashing eyes,

luscious lips that beg to be kissed.

One whiff of her sugary scent and I know she is MINE.

But she's human, and no way can she withstand the barbaric mating practices of the Fae.

I am too lethal,

I should stay away.

When she takes the hit meant for my target, I cannot let her die.

So I do the only thing that will save her life...

I form a soul-bond with the unconscious human.

I want to make her bend to my will.

I hadn't reckoned with craving her emotions, her feelings. Her love...

When she breaks out of my lair, I will do anything to get her back.

This time I will make her submit her all...

This time she cannot escape,

Gia is MINE

Note: Stolen by the Fae is a standalone paranormal romance novel, and the first in the emotional and exciting Fae's Claim Series.

My Review:
My Rating: 2 stars


I received an arc in exchange for an honest review, and that's what I have to give...even if I didn't love this book. I thought this would be a paranormal romance, however I feel it would best be described as erotica. This book is just basically sex. There is very little plot, maybe a second of world building and no lead up to a relationship between Dante and Gia. I guess if I went in knowing this I might have liked the book better. This is a new author to me and honestly if her other books are like this I will probably steer clear. I don't mind sex in my romance books, but when the book is literally only sex and insta-love I just can't stand it. One of the things I did like about this book is that Gia wasn't afraid to stand up to Dante as she tried to be his equal. I also thought the author did a nice job setting up the characters for the next book. Again, there are quite a few people who seem to love this book on Goodreads, unfortunately this was not a great fit for me.

EXCERPTS

#1

"Why didn't you tell me that you were a virgin?'

I fling my arm over my eyes. "So sorry to disappoint."

"You're sorry?"

He grabs my arm and wrenches it away from my face.

"Don't you dare say that."

His chest heaves.

His color is high. His eyes blaze at me. He looks like... a man possessed.

A fierce emotion twists my gut. "You're angry?"

"Angry?" His voice lowers to a growl, "That’s an understatement."

I blink, trying to form my thoughts into words, then give up.

He pins back his ears which I swear have elongated further in the last few seconds.

"I am your first, do you know how that makes me feel?"

He bares his teeth and his canines drop.

"Umm, good?" My voice cracks.

"What was that?" A vein throbs at his temple.

That's not a positive sign, is it?

I clear my throat. "It makes you feel... good?"

He leans in close enough for our eyelashes to kiss, "It makes me want to tie you down and make love
to you until you can't walk straight for days...”

#2

“Your ears.” I gulp. “They are pointed at the tips.”

“So?”

“So they weren’t before.”

“No, that only happens when I am turned on. As does this." He peels back his lips, and his canines drop.

Fear tugs my nerves. Anticipation stretches my skin.

“You are Fae?”

He jerks his chin.

Don't say it, don't say it. “Ah, and are you…turned on now?”

"What do you think..?"

#3

“Do you know how you sound just now, Starlight?”

The fine hairs on my nape rise. He hasn’t even touched me properly, and already I am melting inside.

 “Wha…what did you say?”

“I asked if you heard yourself.” He nips the soft skin at the base of my throat.
Heat slides down my spine.

However much I want to deny it, fact is that I have wanted him from the moment I saw him.

“Yes.” I focus my gaze on him. “I sound like someone who wants everything you can do to me.”

The muscles of his shoulders bunch, the planes of his chest flex.

“Do you?” His voice slides over my skin.  A tremor of need twists my insides.

I swallow. I want to tell him, yes. Yes. I shake my head.

“Liar.”
