***** 4.5 Stars ***** 
 Scarlet Stone is a must read! It's an emotional roller coaster filled with humor and romance. A one of a kind story that will have you hooked. 
 "My name is Scarlet Stone, and I am a third-generation thief." 
 When Scarlet leaves London, she leaves behind her fiance and lifestyle looking to find her purpose in life. No more computers, tablets, or phones. No more hacking and stealing. She will just follow her curiosity and allow her days to flow freely. 
 Scarlet ends up living with a grouchy roommate near the beach in Savannah. She finds peace and zen, but her roommate is always in the back of her mind. There's just something about him that she recognizes. Pain. 
 Theodore Reed wants revenge. He doesn't want anything else in his life. No relationship. No commitments. But Scarlet's curiosity and bravery has a way of breaking down some deep walls. 
 Their relationship isn't normal. Sometimes it's physically brutal, and sometimes it's pure bliss. Funny and sad. I absolutely loved them, and I'm so sad this book is now over for me. 
 My favorite thing about all of Jewel E. Ann's books are the characters. They are always unique with some odd endearing habit. Even though they have flaws, they are so easy to love. Jewel E. Ann will always be one of my favorite authors. She knows how to write an addictive story that you'll want to reread. If you have never read one of her books... please please please start now!
