Stone Cold Seduction (Set In Stone, #1) ReviewElle has the craziest few days of her life. She goes from being a store owner whose only real issue in her life is dealing with, or trying to not deal with, her father - a mean evil SOB with an even meaner right hand man, Luke. As a way to get back at her father and try to right some of his wrongs, Elle takes to stealing from him on the sly. She really is a modern day Robin Hood of sorts, sneaking out of his house with jewels or anything that could get her good price. She uses that money to help families her father has ruined in some way or another. During one nighttime robbery, she's caught in a compromising position and rescued by her employee Jax, who turns out to be oh-so-much more than she ever realized and Elle's introduction into the world she really belongs to, begins.
Her world is not one filled with only humans who come and go from her homemade perfume shop. Her crazy hot employee Jax is a gargoyle, a man she once loved but has no memory of is a phoenix, her best friend, Teryl, is an oracle...and she's part shadow elf, courtesy of dear old dad and part...something else from her mom's side.
**********
"We don't know what your powers are," Teryl answered for him. "If you'd just let us explain."
I'd reached my breaking point. "You're telling me I'm some sort of freaky, half human thing. Jax can turn to stone, and I don't know what the hell an oracle can do, but I'm sure it's weird, too."
**********
It's really a lot to take in during one night, and let's not forget that Jax's fate includes Elle as his mate. Fun times! Elle's on a mission now to find out her own fate. It should have been given to her years earlier but with her powers not coming to her at an age they should have, the powers that be, namely her King father, kept not only her fate from her, but caused her horrible pain letting Luke torture her for years. Her parents weren't together, but the 2 weeks she spent with her father each year, they were weeks she came to dread, filled with pain and abuse that no one should have to endure. I'm not completely certain as to why her father punished her in this way. We're told that he did it to make her fall in line, or it could be simply because he's a psychotic, insane guy. Or maybe it's one of those details that will make more sense as the trilogy goes. At some point, her father wiped her memories of much of her youth, those memories included MacLean, a young man that she was supposed to marry in an arranged marriage, but her memories of him are completely gone and start coming back piece by piece when she meets him again.

The story focuses on Elle trying to find her fate, which will help her understand who and what she is. And of course the path isn't smooth. She gets a few answers, finds out she has some powers that surprise everyone around her and the story ends with everything left unanswered. It reads more as part 1, not book 1 - we get a lot of world information, a love triangle is set up, and the plot for Elle moving into the next book is picking up steam. I'm not normally a fan of love triangles. I find it hard to really connect with the characters (in this case the 2 men both vying for Elle) in the triangle because you all know I love my happy endings, and if only one guy gets the girl, someone will be hurt in the end. That said, it's hard not to like both Jax and MacLean and as things stand now, Elle has an impossible choice ahead of her. Though I might be just slightly biased towards Jax, it's hard not to be when the man is described like this:
**********
The man was hot, sweaty, bring-the-roof-down sex poured into jeans.
**********
Her memories of MacLean are coming back bit by bit and she's realizing that it wasn't just an arranged marriage that was bringing them together. He was her one bright spot in the life she had to endure when she was at her father's house and that maybe the love she felt for him then, could still be a possibility now.

Overall I thought this was a nice start, and while we get hit with a lot of information, and not a lot of action, I'm looking forward to seeing how Elle handles all her new powers, seeing what other surprises pop up for her in the power/fate department and trying to figure out which guy will win her heart.
Blog rating: 3/5 starsStone Cold Seduction (Set In Stone, #1) Overview
When a regular night of Robin Hood-ery results in the manifestation of some, um, unusual paranormal abilities, perfume-maker Elleodora Fredricks realizes the normal world she lives in isn't quite... normal. And neither is she, thanks to her father, king of the shadow elves. Not only is he evil incarnate and the reason Elle moonlights as a burglar someone has to take care of all his victims he s stolen her memories.

And only reading her fate can fix that.

Good thing she s got a trio of hotties willing to help her find said fate, but only if she gives them something in return. Saving her oracle BFF's fiance, falling in love with the gargoyle, and making up for breaking the phoenix s heart ought to be a piece of cake for the princess of the shadow elves.

If only the king didn't want his daughter dead...

"A sexy gargoyle, a hot phoenix, and a heroine just coming into her own all add up to a great read!" -Alexis Morgan, Best selling author of the Paladins series

"Clever, sexy, and razor-sharp...STONE COLD SEDUCTION is a magical, thrilling page-turner." -Alayna Williams, author of DARK ORACLE and ROGUE ORACLE
