Stolen Love: Rogue and Ivy Book 4 of 4

by Misti Murphy

He was Hollywood’s hottest playboy. I was shy and frightened of my own shadow. Our families were at war.

Still, I fell in love with Rogue Maddox. And he fell for me too.

But our love was never going to take an easy path.

On the night we were to marry in secret, Rogue was carted away in handcuffs for a crime he didn’t commit.

And the price for his freedom?

Before my twenty-first birthday, I must marry another. A groom my mother chose for me. A man I hate.

Time is running out for our love.

Lost memories, family secrets, and threats work to tear us apart.

But the biggest betrayal of all will be one we never see coming.

About the author

Misti Murphy writes sweet and funny, sometimes frustrating and always swoony romantic comedies with just a teensy bit of angst.

When she's not writing she lives in an imaginary world full of happy humans, glitter, and unicorns.

Not that being a mother of four, plus four fur kids isn't practically the same thing. Except when they steal the Tim Tams.

(Kangaroos are practically unicorns, right?)

Ivy Love is the sweetest

The continuation of Ivy and Rouge's story is a little twisted. I did not see that coming.

So alk Ivy wants is to be with Rouge and live her life with her bestie cousin and the drag queens that make up her family. She wants to stop being controlled by a crazy mother who will go to no ends of making her life miserable.

Nicole Hawthorne is a manipulating woman who wants her dead husband d's money and she will pay the price.

Rouge is trying his best to protect Ivy from her brother Alex and devil mother Nicole but the 2 have a lot thrown at them. Now the 2 must navigate murder charges, kidnapping, mental illness allegations, money hungry fake allies and friends who are not what they seem to save Ivy is !I've and Routes freedom.

This was am intense story that I could not put down.

I love Ivy and you can see why so many want to protect her. She is sweet, loving, loyal, talented.....

This was a great wrap up to the series. So many twists. Dizzy is crazier than a bedbug but turns out she’s ivys sister. Ivy’s brother and mother are not her mother and brother. Ivy couldn’t remember anything about what happened. Her bodyguard was poisoning her. Alec is nutso. He had Marty killed. Ro lost the lawsuit. And everything set up rogue to go to the slammer.
But it turns out ivys dad knew what was up and left clues. A key. A number. Letters. There’s a safe in dizzys house and the key unlocks it. With the numbers that are dizzys birthday. Inside is all the evidence to put Nicole away forever.
West, who is dizzys person, is actual rogue and rebels triplet brother that was stolen by his father and raised to be mean. The Maddox boys along with Nathaniel and ivys bestie end up figuring out that Alec is actually a half brother to the Maddox boys and Ivy is no one’s cousin so it’s ok to be with rogue.
So much happens but in the end rogue and Ivy are getting married for real, summer is pregnant and west tracks down Alec and brings him home for dizzy to kill. HEA

Stolen Love
Ivy Love has always been either ignored or belittled by her mother and half-brother, Alec. Her deceased father, Richard saw Ivy and loved her for who she was. Everything Ivy was given from her mother, Nicole, has come with conditions and a price. Now that Ivy is going to be 21 and come into her inheritance, her mother is desperate to control her and her money.
Rogue Maddox is a handsome and charming famous Hollywood bad-boy actor. He has fallen hard for Ivy Love. Rogue and Rebel Maddox, the twins, hate Ivy’s half-brother, Alec Hawthorne. Nicole wants Ivy away from Rogue.
This sets the stage for the final book Stolen Love. Ivy has some memory gaps, what is she missing? She loves and wants to be with Rogue. He was just released from jail for assault which may result in murder charges if Nicole can arrange it. Nicole has said she will see that Rogue goes free if Ivy marries her lawyer. Ivy is desperate to exonerate Rogue. What can she do?
The Maddox brothers will always have each other they will love and support their extended family. Ivy is a part of that family. They visit their mother. And learn life changing information about being twins maybe there was a third? Why does Rogue’s mother call him Ruin? Rebel, Rogue and Ruin???
This book was so satisfying to read. There were so many twists and turns. I loved it. It was nice to be finally see Ivy and Rogue get their happy ending. BUT where does this leave us readers? I want to know MORE about Dizzy, who is she? West is a dark and intriguing man; I need to know more. Riot is the baby brother and then the fun and exciting Adira/Liam Hunt and the Drag Queens. I look forward to many more books. Start this series now, I totally recommend it. Book 1: Hollywood Rebel. Binge Worthy!!

Stolen Love
A-List Rebels 5
Misti Murphy
⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Prepare your mind and body to be blown, this is the anticipated ending to Rogue and Ivy’s, long, drama filled and love filled story.
If you haven’t read about the A-List Rebels, or Rogue and Ivy might I suggest you start with book 1, you’ll not regret it. Now into this story…. I was so happy to see Rogue and Ivy finally get their happy ending.

Rogue and Ivy have had a full in relationship from that first fateful day, and just when I thought I had it sussed, them Ms Murphy just turned it all on its head! With her brother and mother hellbent on destroying Rogue, who in his own right was a Hollywood bad boy, Ivy is flung in the middle of Armageddon, Nicole Hawthorne knows no bounds and she won’t stop until Ivy is back under her “care” and Rogue is removed forever.

What she didn’t anticipate was her daughter pulling out the big guns, Ivy Love may be the shy, quiet and reserved, but now she’s out to prove everything…. And her mother, brother and anyone caught in Nicole’s web will be outed!

Heart racing, mind blowing and beautifully finished. I loved Rogue and Ivy… oh and Summer and Riot and Rebel and Adira … I’m still on the fence with Dizzy, she’s got some big apologies coming!

Loved this ending or is it?

I'm happy to say there is no cliffhanger for Rogue and Ivy, but with the twist and turns throughout the whole book. I will let you figure out what happens. The ending may not be a cliffhanger, but there is an opening to see more of all of these characters. I can't wait to see where Misti takes them next. A few quotes that I saved so many funny ones but they had spoilers.

“You two are perfectly identical in every way, aren’t you?” He tilts his head to the side. “Well, except for the piercings.”

I press her palm to my heart. It beats only for her. Has since the first time I locked eyes on her that day I was sh*t and she helped me escape.

It’ll be the whole Maddox trifecta, swinging blows like we expect candy to expl*de out of Alec if we just h*t him hard enough.


I highly recommend this book and the whole series. A must read.

[Brandy Smith · Rating 3 out of 5]

Ahh, I guess wasn’t expecting a 4 part saga with this one. I understand the plot and the love story, but i feel like it was dragged on longer than necessary. I feel like i read a 700 page story that really only needed to be 300. I love Rogue and Ivy and their chemistry was amazing but there was a lot of things that felt unnecessary. ALSO HOW could the Rogue kiss another woman in front of Ivy and she be like “i guess it’s okay, becuase i’m lying about who my brother is” and this girl then loses her memory? i feel like that was not necessary, i really do not know why the author felt they needed to that to Ivy. She could have just pretended to lose her memory so her family would not have come after her immediately and then this book would never have been as long, aka going back to how this could have been put into a duet, not 4 books.

Okay read

I wanted to like it as much as I did the first ( Riot’s)book but it fell short to me. First it took so long to come out I forgot the plot for book so I recommend you start with the first book(Rogue / Ivy) so everything makes sense. Personal opinion- you can like it or lump it but I did not like the drag aspect of the book. It didn’t fit in and just felt like something the author used to try to gain a certain audience. The guy was over the top and border line thirsty. No need to comment on another guy’s peen 😩 but Ivy was a sweet if not useless character. Like Rogue but please going forward keep your men manly like their brother’s book Riot. Loved the boys names though Riot, Rogue, Rebel, and Ruin!

[Kelly Baroletti]

For those of us waiting patiently (not) for the conclusion of Rogue and Ivy’s story, you will not be disappointed! Of course, before we get it, there are a few very surprising revelations along the way. Ivy needs to regain her memory. Rogue will do anything to make sure Ivy knows that she is the love of his life, despite his playboy past, and let’s not forget his latest arrest. The Maddox Family is there in full force to support them both. The journey is absolutely amazing. There are so many twists in this story it's incredible. And after we get the HEA Misti promised us, we know there will be (at least) one more Maddox Brother to look forward too.

Frustrating again

Welp some stuff happens but I don't think it was explained in a way that makes sense or is realistic at all. There's still plot holes and giant waving *Ma'am Red Flag! guy* red flags. Everyone is just "yup that tracks you are definitely mentally stable and we in no way need to alert authorities!" and there are things that just kind of end because the book does and that's annoying. I still think this story didn't need this many books and the story suffered for it imo. Like "this is book 4 it needs all the mystery and suspense!" but it missed and tried to hard. I'll still probably read Riot's book if he ever gets one though.

[Kimberly Holmgren · Rating 5 out of 5]

Rogue and Ivy are ready to finally confront her family and save their future, but the Hawthorne family isn’t going to make it easy. Rogue and Ivy, with help from his brothers, Summer and Adira, work to expose Alec and Nicole’s crimes and clear Rogue’s name. Help comes from some unlikely places as secrets from the past are exposed, and betrayals are revealed. Knowing that this book was finally going to give me the HEA I’ve been waiting for what feels like forever, kept me going. I couldn’t put it down once I started it. Well worth the wait.

[Wendy Livingstone · Rating 5 out of 5]

Great story!!

This is the fifth book in this phenomenal series and Rogue and Ivy's story continues.
This is a well written emotional roller coaster story, with found family, friendships, intrigue, secrets, danger, suspense, action, tension, lies, manipulation, betrayal, drama, undeniable chemistry, revelations, justice, healing, loyalty, extortion, making choices, and unconditional love, which leads to an entertaining, twisted, unpredictable, and thrilling addictive page turner.
I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

[Sam Laird · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow oh wow. I started and finished this book in a few hours. I couldn’t put it down. I don’t want to spoil anything so all I’ll say is the twists and turns keep you on your toes from the moment you start right until the last word. For all those fans of Rogue and Ivy who have followed their story for four books it was so worth it although I’m sad it’s now over. So many twists and turns with a lot that you don’t see coming. If I could give more stars I would.

[Mindy · Rating 5 out of 5]

Misti drove us crazy, making Rogue and Ivy’s story 4 books long. But theirs was a long and really TWISTED love story. From the beginning Ivy had trouble trusting and believing what they had was real. But as they fought nearly everyone to be together, she grew stronger and accepted Rogue’s love. In this book, there is so much going on, deceit, betrayal, murder, pain and heartache. But told in the words of Misti, it’s a beautiful tale of love.

[Kellie · Rating 1 out of 5]

There are no words to describe how much I loved the first two books in this series. When amnesia popped up in the third book, a trope I despise, I still muddled through and it wasn’t terrible. This one though? Long lost triplet, serial killers and murders, incest, kidnapping, what the soap opera fucking happened 😩 it should have ended with book two.

Good to know Rogue and Ivy weren’t actually cousins tho 🙃

The only truly fitting ending for Rogue and Ivy

Wow! What a rollercoaster! If you’ve loved Rogue and Ivy’s story so far this book is for you. The plot twists will throw you, tissues are a must both for the snot crying with heartache and laugh out loud audacity of some of their antics. Everyone loves a piñata!!!

[Kathy Blough · Rating 5 out of 5]

Sleep is overrated.I couldn’t put this down! There are SO many things you will shock or surprise you. Surprise hero amongst the villains, a villain with the heros. Twists and turns on every page. I have been invested in the characters all along, and could not wait for this book. I found the way the information was presents was clear, crisp and totally on point. Well done Misti!

[Callie O · Rating 5 out of 5]

mush anticipation for this book.

I was anxiously waiting for this book since the last one was released and I’m glad it’s here!! Love the happy ending made previously written cliffhanger tolerable in the end. Lots of twists and turns throughout the story can’t wait to see where the rest of the family goes.

[Fiona · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book will have you on a rollercoaster from the minute you start it. This continues on Ivy and Rogues story . This book is full of twist and turns, surprises, betrayal, lies and heartbreak.
You really won't know what to expect next from this story. An amazing storyline that will have you hooked. A definite must read for this series.

Grand Finale

Whew!! What a wild ride! There were lots of twists and turns in the conclusion of Ivy and Rogue's love story.

I'm really hoping Riot doesn't have such a hard time with the love of his life.

P.S. I was right, Dizzy is crazy AF!!!! But I'm ready to read more about her as well.

[Brittany · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow

Reading Rouge and Ivy's first book, I never expected the wild ride their story was. Summer and Rebel were just a cute little live story. Rouge and Ivy were drama, heartbreak, mystery, and murder.
I can't wait to read about the other Maddox brothers.

[Anne Turner]

Wow not at all what was expected.

Twists and turns galore and good writing to keep it flowing. I was disappointed to get to the cliffhangers of each book but was riveted to the end.

[Erin · Rating 4 out of 5]

Overall I really enjoyed this Kindle unlimited series. I might have been annoyed to have to pay for 4 separate books to get to the bottom of this story. So much, WTF. Seriously, 4 books. But it was worth it. I enjoyed Rogue and Ivy's story even if it took way too long to get their happy ending.

[Chaotic Nexus · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow

Ooo! So exciting! Damn! That is a hellova lot to unpack! Absolutely amazing stroy. There are so many emotions! I feel like I've just gotten off an emotional rollercoaster. I honestly, I'm dizzy from it.

I enjoyed the way the story of Rogue and Ivy ended. It's been a long time coming, and they struggled through many difficulties. But faith and love really sustained them when they needed it the most.

Will Rogue and Ivy be able to be together? After some jaw dropping revelations, we’re not so sure. But it’s a great ending to the series!
