Ian Hart is the most notorious criminal in the country. Like the thief he is, he came in the dark and stole a night of my life.
He left me with souvenirs. Disaster and fear are my new realities. I’ll forever look over my shoulder, terrified he’d return, because when he took me, he stole more than just a few hours of my time.
His crime has consequences neither of us could’ve imagined. If I’m to escape the nightmare of my life, I have to outsmart him. If I’m to survive, I have to outwit every enemy he’s turned against me, including Ian himself, the most dangerous and cleverest man I know.

Another fabulous story by author Charmaine Pauls!
Stolen Lust is the first book in the Beauty in the Stolen trilogy, which takes place in the author’s Diamond Magnate world. I’ve read all of the books within this world, and I’ve loved every one of them! So, when I discovered Charmaine’s newest trilogy, I jumped at the chance to read it. If you’re new to the Diamond Magnate world, you can still read this story without any issues. However, I suggest adding Beauty in the Broken and the Diamonds are Forever Trilogy to your TBR list!

Stolen Lust is a dark romance, which tells the story of Cassandra Joubert and Ian Hart. The storyline was gripping and deliciously steamy, and I was on the edge of my seat throughout the whole story! I love Ian and Cas’s chemistry, and I about died the last couple of chapters of the book! Just a reminder that since this is the first book in the trilogy, it will end with a cliffhanger. Oh, and it’s a doozy!

I can’t wait for Stolen Life, the second book in the trilogy, which is expected to be released in May.
