Mr. Black: A Black Stone Series - Book 1 Paperback – November 5, 2020

4.7 4.7 out of 5 stars 13 ratings

Was it a teenage crush, love at first sight, or just pure and simple lust? It was only one weekend and he walked away claiming that if the stars aligned, fate would bring us back together someday.

Fast forward fifteen years, he's back and his sights are set on me.

Jordan:

My eyes flit around the room and land on a pair of brilliant blue eyes that are staring back at me. The man who they belong to is gorgeous, tall, tanned, sex on legs. His bright blue eyes are focused on mine like two laser beams. His lips, which are full beautiful lips, quirk up at the sides as he tips his glass my way. His strides are long and calculated. A panther on the prowl hunting and I am the prey. It's him, Darian Black, my first love, my obsession, the man who haunts my wet dreams. "Do you know who I am?" He whispers into my ear, sending shivers down my spine.

Darian:

I saw her as soon as she walked into the room: Jordan Sinclair, the girl I walked away from fifteen years ago. Only now, she's no longer a girl. I can't take my god damned eyes off her. She stands out like she has a spotlight on her, an angel from heaven sent down just for me. She stops in her tracks when she sees me, standing there nibbling on her bottom lip, making me want to pull it out and suck on it. Uncertainty is written all over her beautiful face. The light catches on the soft tendrils of her honey blond hair, her huge eyes are like pools of molten chocolate as she stares back at me. She has a special glow to her that is unmatched by anyone else around her. As I stare at her in that moment, I can honestly say she is the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. "Mine," I think to myself as I stride towards her. It's not over, we have a lot of time to make up for and I'm a selfish bastard.

Unfortunately for us, there is a terrorist out there. He also wants her and will stop at nothing in order to make her his.

    From page one I was pulled in and interested. I was laughing and engaged from the start. She does and awesome job keeping the reader occupied and not expecting the outcome. She does a fantastic job linking the characters lives together with more than just "fate." The scenes are steamy and often leaving you more than satisfied. Highly recommend,off to book two.

    *Spoilers Ahead*

    So, I want to preface this review by saying I think the plot was very cool in this book - romance, terrorist organizations, and abduction. Yes, please. However, with that being said, the author gave away a lot of it which didn't leave the reader much room to "solve the mystery." I know this isn't a mystery book, but I would've enjoyed it just that much more.

    The main character, Jordon, is a spunky girl, but I didn't get a lot of time to know her outside of her love interest, Darian Black. I was waiting throughout the entire book for her to really hang out with her friend Cara or go to one of those Friday cocktail nights at the art gallery she worked for since she mentioned how amazing they were. I was even waiting to see if she had any other interests besides running, her work, and Mr. Black. But alas, that's kind of all she did and not much else. I think more detail about her personality would've helped me connect to her more and feel a little more for her as a character.

    As for Mr. Black, we get a sneak peek into his past about how he ended up in the job he had. But it's the same for him. Once he found Jordan again, all thoughts were on her and nothing else, and that was pretty much from the start of his story.

    The story was very fast paced, which can be nice, but I feel like the author set us up for some parts and then didn't deliver. Like the trip to Napa for a meeting Jordan had with her boss, Lily. I was excited to see what that was all about but then it was completely skipped over. It was almost like writing scenes that didn't include Darian and Jordan together weren't a part of the overall plan for the story. Everything just felt a little rushed, even the sex.

    Overall, I thought the book was fun and that Jordan and Darian were cute together. I would've liked to see more development with their relationship before hopping on the engagement train, but I get it.

    As for the author's writing style, there was a lot of repetition. Especially in regards to what clothes were being worn, some dialogue, and even some scenes. Because the chapters were flipping between Jordan and Darian, they would kind of repeat what they were seeing. Like Jordan would describe her dress for the gala and then Darian would describe it again. Or Jordan would be thinking about what's she's going to say, and then she'd say it. Situations like that felt a little unnecessary in my opinion.

    But overall, it was a cute story, and I'm interested to see what happens in the next book about the friend Alex.

    Nancy Brown is a naturally gifted, open and descriptive writer who brought her characters to life. The premise of this book is a genuine love story, but has exciting twists and turns, while providing perspectives from the different characters throughout.

    This book is an exceptional effort from a first time novelist that will keep you interested until the very end, and it is apparent that more exciting tales await us. Bring on Mr. Stone - can't wait!!!

    From the very first page I was invested in the story of Jordan and Darian. The characters were interesting and very easy to relate to. What I most enjoyed is having the story told from both Jordan and Darian, getting to know and understand both characters made this book a stand out for me. By the time I finished the book I felt these characters were my friends that I just experienced this story with and left me daydreaming of what they might me doing today. I'm looking forward to book 2 and getting to know Mr. Stone.

    If you like a great steamy romance with action, look no further. I enjoyed this read immensely! Passion from beginning to end with action and thrills to boot. Great characters that are true to life, and keep the pages turning.
    Really looking forward to the follow-up books from a great new author.
