Tragedy, redemption, and danger masked as a good friend are just a few of the many enticing features that await readers in Alexa Sinclaire’s Trusting Stone. Eden Walker has been through every college girl’s worst nightmare and yet has managed to claw her way back to a reasonably normal life. She has a dependable best friend, a man who wants to marry her, and a trust fund that allows her to do a job she loves regardless of pay. Though many would be envious and most would call her case a success story, Eden can’t quite quell the feeling that something in her life is missing.

Cue a chance run-in with Sebastian Stone, the commanding, self-made businessman Eden hasn’t seen or heard from since childhood. Just one short encounter with Sebastian is enough to show Eden what her life has been lacking: passion. However, not everyone in Eden’s life are as they seem, and although Eden believes she has moved on from her past, her past hasn’t quite finished with her just yet.

A fast-paced story driven by the intense relationship between Eden and Sebastian, Trusting Stone delivers a steamy romance with a serving of suspense that will leave the reader wanting more. As they navigate the twists and turns of their relationship, the couple must learn both to trust one another as well as discern who their true enemies are, and readers will find themselves compelled to join them on their journey. The author does a remarkable job of creating characters with whom the audience can easily identify, and although Eden and Sebastian live lives of luxury, they are still relatable and likeable characters. The solid development of characters coupled with a strong and captivating plot makes it easy to get lost in the pages of Trusting Stone as unanswered questions from both Eden’s and Sebastian’s pasts come to light once again.

I give “Trusting Stone” 5 out of 5 stars.
