Blurb
There’s a rule in Crowne Hall: never look a Crowne in the eyes.
It protects us more than them.
I broke it once, the night Grayson Crowne mistook me for his true love and stole my first kiss. I’ve regretted it every day since.
He hates me.
He torments me.
He won’t let me go, because that night he whispered a secret against my lips not meant for me. Grayson Crowne, heir to the Crowne empire and notorious playboy prince is… a virgin.
I signed a contract in my heart’s blood as much as ink: help him get back his love, repair what I broke. Give him my body, my soul, my heart, let him use all of me, so when the time comes to marry her, he won’t need me.
I shouldn’t need him.
But he’s my stolen soulmate, and I’m at his mercy.

MY REVIEW
Grayson Crowne, playboy prince, cruel asshole who stole Story's first kiss. There's no way she should be in love with her bully. No reason she should crave him the way she does. And she definitely should not be hoping against hope that he won't marry his first love, Lottie, and choose Story instead.
Unfortunately, Story's heart and body cannot seem to get themselves in check because she still wants him beyond belief even though he's unbelievably cruel to her, even though this prince is no Prince Charming.
Damn...this story wrecked me. It's so cruel and and ruthless and I felt so badly for Story, who really did nothing wrong, did nothing to deserve Gray's behavior. Nothing but overheard something he didn't want her to hear. And honestly, all the blame lies on his broad shoulders. He's the one who stole her away and kissed her. He's the one who whispered his secret to her without checking to make sure he was speaking to the proper woman. He's the one who behaves like a complete douche canoe twat waffle. Oh sorry. You can tell I don't like him, right? Because I don't. I do, however, like Story, and want better for her than she gets in Stolen Soulmate. Now I just have to wait VERY IMPATIENTLY for the next story to see if she gets all the good things she deserves, and everyone just leaves her be to find the love she deserves. Hopefully Gray redeems his ass or I'm gonna be pissed!

Excerpt
The ink was barely dry on the pages. I don’t know if I was ready for this. Somehow I felt like I was more of a virgin than Grayson. Nervous, skittish. He’d warned me when all of this began that the things he’d seen and done would wreck me.
I should’ve believed him then.
When I didn’t do anything for a minute, he arched a brow.
Do whatever he says.
I could use my safe word, but a twisted part of me liked doing what he told me to do. Liked the rush and the way his eyes hardened. It felt like power, power over one of the most powerful people in the world.
I’d barely taken a step to him, when he ripped me to him by the small of my waist. His other hand tangled in my hair, yanking my head to the side.
“Fuck,” he said, lips at my neck. “Which part do I eat first.”
Delicious tingles spread along my skin at his words. His nose ran along my neck, goosebumps following in his wake. His hands slid from hair, from my waist, along my body, feeling every inch of me, like he couldn’t do it fast enough, before settling back in my hair.
Deliriously, I found the zipper of my dress, but his overtook mine. Stopping me.
“I’m going to ruin your white dress, Snitch. Ruin you. Until you’re all fucked up from me.”
