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.

Made my way back to Clifton Forge for Presley and Shaw's story. I really like Devney Perry's writing and how she sprinkles in the mystery with the romance. Presley works at the garage and Shaw is an actor shooting a film on location about a murder that occurred in the town (iykyk). Presley is determined to give Shaw the cold shoulder, but when he coincidentally moves in next door to her, he becomes difficult to avoid. This book was pretty good. I didn't love it as much as Steel King or Riven Knight, but still enjoyed it. I really liked Shaw and his story. I didn't like some of the conflict— some felt a little unnecessary. The romance was good and spicy like we like, and this book has enemies to lovers and forced proximity tropes, which I love. Overall I enjoyed it and I will be moving on to the next book in the series! Stone Princess is an adult romance, 18+ for content and themes. Check TW
