Crash Into Me

Heart of Stone, Book 1

By: K. M. Scott

Narrated by: Veronica Meunch, Christian Fox

What would you give up for everything? Tristan Stone was powerful, commanding, and sex incarnate. And he wore it all so well. From the moment his mesmerizing gaze met mine, I had no choice but surrender to everything he was. His power. His decadence. His passion. He was all I never knew I needed. He wanted to possess me, and I wanted to be his everything. All I had to do was accept what he offered. But everything has a price. The world he gave me fulfilled my wildest dreams, but would that be enough when the past crashed into the present?

Critic reviews

"K.M. Scott gives you contemporary romance at its finest." ( Let's Get Romantical)

CLIFFHANGERS ALERT! What a ride, literally.....

If you don't like cliffhangers stop reading now and don't buy this book. If you don't mind cliffhangers then buy and enjoy. It is quick paced with a solid listen. Yes it concerns a millionaire, yes it concerns a financially struggling younger girl.......twist, turns, plot thickens, its good but leaves ya hanging.......one of the worst cliffhangers I have read in a while.......

Good Read....

If you could sum up Crash Into Me in three words, what would they be?

Really Good Story

What did you like best about this story?

Tristan was so mysterious...and how he seem to really love Ninna .Right from the start it captured me with every word as I tried to piece together the motives, the secrets and the twists in there relationship.

Good story behind a somewhat lame plot

The contract by which Tristan seeks to bind Nina seems lame; a shade of that which is the centrepiece of that other book, you know the one. More surprisingly, she falls for it. Fortunately the plot redeems itself as it develops into an interesting and deeper story as the characters develop. You need to wait for the next volume to find out the full story.

🌻Pretty Dang predictable, to me!🌻

There was such a mix of reviews that I wasn’t sure what to expect. So many reviewers seemed shocked by the ending, of book one of this trilogy, that I was stunned at how truly the ending was, to me. I may not have guessed every detail but I knew, Halfway through the book, what would be the subject of the major conflict.

The characters were a bit disappointing. The fact that a seemingly streetwise, college educated woman that had lived on her own since she was 18, would be dumb enough to sign a six page contract after only read the first page, just floored me. In addition, the fact that her best friend blew off her suspicions, in regards to the Hero’s behaviors, also bothered me. A best friend should have your back.

The most predictable part, of the story, is that fact that it was obvious that Triston, the Hero, has been keeping major secrets from the Heroine and that these secrets would seriously affect their relationship.

Finally, the nature of the ending, of this first book of this trilogy, ended as almost all first books of triogies; the previous expected progression of the plot has reached a possible detour. Since this series is included in the Escape Package, I will likely move to book two and give it a whirl!

I just don’t know..,

Tristan is a really odd duck. Throughout the book he’s very closed off and elusive with how he feels - even more than your typical brooding male main character. Nina is a typical FMC, young and insecure. She’s smart though, smarter than some of the choices she makes.

The story was ok. I just don’t know that I feel enough of a connection with the characters, especially Tristan, to get the next book. There is a cliffhanger, but I don’t know if I care enough to plod through the angst of the next book, let alone 2 more books as this is a trilogy.

I’m not sure if it’s worth a credit. I’m not going to return the book, I did finish it. The writing is good, and many people did like this book. I just don’t know if I’ll get the other 2.

OH THE SO TALENTED MS. SCOTT

I have listened to other audio books (Sons of Navarus) by Ms. Scott and she is one of my favorite authors. Her ability to bring "realism" into the plot and keep the focus on the main characters is great. She doesn't do all of her character building of the H & H in the beginning of the book but sprinkles it throughout the story to keep listeners, at least this one, intrigued and wanting to find out more.

Not only is she a very talented author but V. Meunch & C. Fox's performances were amazing. I loved that Ms. Meunch performed the female voices and Mr. Fox performed the male voices and there was no female trying to do male voices and vice versa. It sounded more real and believable. I wish that all audio narrators/performers would do the same.

This book 1 made me want to move on to the next, book 2 and I'm glad I downloaded all three books so that I could listen to them simultaneously.

Keep up the good work; can't wait for what's coming next.

All heroine POV

Not sure why Christian fox name appeared here. I couldn’t take that the story was all heroine POV. I lost interest after half way.

Cliff Hanger

I loved the story line, just wish they would have used a man’s voice for Tristen the entire time.

Is there a part 2? I want to know more

I can't even describe the annoying narration

I could just barely get passed the accent the Veronica Meunch used for Nina. I think she may actually speak like that. She can't pronounce the letter L properly. Shoulders became show-ders, etc. I just listened to two bad narrators in a row, I hope the next one is better.

Just another Good Read

Any additional comments?

Good listen and entertaining enough, maybe there is just too many of the latest romance novels I have listened to that fell into the same story line basis regardless the reasons the successful rich business man falling unexpectedly for the woman that isn't one in his elite circle.
