Stolen Soulmate (Crowne Point #2)

Review: Stolen Soulmate - Book #2 Crowne Point Series - Mary Catherine Gebhard - February 2020
Story Hale loved her job and excelled at being invisible, that was until one day by mistake she is pulled into a world that she never wanted to be part of. A world she had tried so hard to stay away from. A world where she knew she would never be accepted as she wasn't of their upper-class status. Story Hale was a servant girl, a maid and Grayson Crowne was the Prince. When I started reading this book, I have to admit I was a little confused as I had a feeling it was set in modern times but a few parts of the book read like a historical fiction and I remember telling my friend Rach, that I didn't know what time period the book was set in as it felt too ambiguous. Turns out it was modern times but in the world of extreme wealth and control. The rule is that a servant should never look the Crownes in the eyes, they should know their place in this world. The book starts with Story on her way to Abigail's room, when she is pulled into a dark room and kissed. It is later discovered she was kissed by Grayson and the person who he thought he was kissing was his girlfriend Charlotte Du Lac - another wealthy family.  Stuck between losing her job and being able to never see her uncle, Story accepts a deal with Grayson and she becomes his "pet" of sorts. The thing though is that we see the chemistry and a forbidden romance of sorts begin and a strong love/hate relationship as the pair are torn between their hearts and their heads and what they should be doing in terms of responsibilities. Being the male of the family, Grayson is set to marry Charlotte as part of a merger and to boost their connections and wealth but he finds his heart with Story despite how much he tries to deny it.  Story has morals and will not become a mistress and second-best - a secret to hideaway. Will Grayson go through his marriage to Charlotte or will he say F- responsibilities and follow his heart? Stolen Soulmate does tug at your heartstrings as you sympathize and connect with Story Hale. Stolen Soulmate also ends on a cliffhanger and I am now looking forward to reading Book #3 and going back and reading Book #1 Heartless Hero.
