RELEASE DAY: Stone Princess by Devney Perry




STONE PRINCESS

TIN GYPSY #3

Release Date: May 5th, 2020



Presley Marks has just become a cliché: the jilted bride. Wearing a white dress, standing in front of her friends and family, she announces that her fiancé—according to his text—has forgotten about the wedding.

Humiliated and angry, she hides from the world in the mundane routine of her life. Working at the Clifton Forge Garage isn’t glamorous, but it’s safe from the spotlight.

At least it was, until Shaw Valance comes to town.

The notorious Hollywood actor is starring in a movie based on the town’s infamous murder. When he’s not on set, Shaw hovers at the garage, watching as they build his custom motorcycle and irritating her with his handsome smile. He was supposed to leave once filming wrapped and go back to his fancy life, not buy the house next door.

But Shaw might regret that purchase once Presley’s ex-fiancé returns, bringing with him a war between old rivals that could burn both their houses down.






I have been waiting on Presley's story. Ever since hearing about her good-for-nothing fiancé, Jeremiah, I just knew her story was going to be great. She totally deserved it! I disliked Jeremiah from the very beginning. He was more excited about ticking off her coworkers than he ever was about her. OK, enough about that man... let's talk about Shaw!! He is just what Presley needs to show her good enough isn't enough. She deserves to be cherished. Her and Shaw had this instantaneous attraction and there was no denying it.

Lord, do I love the way Devney Perry creates a story, especially within a series. There's this overall central storyline that she carries throughout every book and I'm always excited to see the way she transforms each situation to fit the overall story. The Stone Princess was probably my favorite out of the other two earlier books. I love the feel of this opposites attracts story. Shaw brings a lightness to Presley's life that she really deserves, needs. They came together a bit slower than the previous couples but Presley's coming in with some major anxiety from her background.

I think you'll definitely want to read Gypsy King first, followed by Riven Knight, this book is the third book and will continue with at least 3 more according to Goodreads. Perry is just a lyrical magician and I can't recommend her stories enough!! They're full of heart!

I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that... my opinions.

My realtor would have earned a higher commission if she had mentioned that the woman who lived next door was Presley Marks. “Isn’t this a surprise?”
“Is it?” Presley asked, frowning as I descended my steps and crossed the lawn, meeting her in her driveway. She raised a dark blond eyebrow. “Because it sort of feels like stalking.”
I chuckled. “I swear I had no idea you lived next door.”
But what a bonus. I wouldn’t have to make excuses to stop by the garage to see her. She could tear that insurance waiver to shreds. Presley had to know I didn’t give a damn about that bike they were building for me.
“You bought this house?”
“Yeah.” I reached for the grocery bags she had in her hands. “Here, let me help.”
She twisted away. “I’ve got them.”
“Come on.” I stepped forward and she took a step back. Wait, did she really think I was stalking her? “I’m just trying to help. I mean, I’ll probably start writing down your daily schedule so I can make sure our paths cross at least once a day. But that’s normal, right? For stalkers?”
“Are you being funny?”
My smile flattened. “I guess not.”
