Stolen Love is the third and final book in the Beauty in the Stolen trilogy, which takes place in the author’s Diamond Magnate world. In case you’re not aware, this trilogy has a continuous storyline. Therefore, you’ll need to read the books in chronological order. Also, if you’re new to the Diamond Magnate world, you can still read this series without any issues. However, I highly recommend reading the other books!
When I got to the end of Stolen Life, the second book in the series, I seriously almost died! While I recovered from the epic cliffhanger, I kept thinking about how Charmaine might get Cas out of her current predicament. So, once the book finally appeared on my Kindle, I dropped everything and jumped in. Oh, and I got to tell you, Stolen Love is above and beyond what I could ever imagine.
Not only was the storyline amazing, but the characters were so well developed. Also, Charmaine has a way of writing that makes the characters and scenery come to life, and I was hanging onto every word like it was my lifeline.
The Beauty in the Stolen trilogy is definitely my new favorite!

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.

Flipping Fantabulous!
Stolen Life is the second book in the Beauty in the Stolen trilogy, which takes place in the author’s Diamond Magnate world. When I began reading Stolen Lust, the first book in the series, I tried to figure out how this story fits within the Diamond Magnate world. I kept coming up with different ideas, but then, partway through this second book, it all clicked. Now, I’m even more excited, if that’s possible, to see what happens next! But, don’t worry! If you’re new to this world, you can still read the series without any issues.
Stolen Lust, the first book in the series, left us with a huge cliffhanger. I seriously counted the days, and as soon as I saw Stolen Life on my Kindle, I dove right in. Oh, and let me tell you, it was flawlessly written and impossible to put down. Charmaine has a way of writing that makes the characters and scenery come to life. I felt like I was there with Cas, and it filled me with so many different emotions that left me begging for more!
Ian is such a strong alpha male, and he tends to make me weak in the knees. However, I wish he would trust Cas a little more. I loved how she tried to take charge of her situation. She kept surprising Ian, and I loved that. But I got to tell you; I may have cursed Charmaine a couple of times during that last chapter! Seriously!
Now, I’m counting the days again for the next book, Stolen Love, to be released!
