Stone: An MC Romance
Stone
Growing up, I knew the club would be my sole focus,
That I would take the role of Vice President from my father,
A role I am honoured to receive,
A role I refuse to mess up, not wanting to disappoint him or the club.
I didn’t want a wife, or an old lady,
I didn’t want the distraction.
Fun was all I could offer someone,
But I messed up.
I had no choice but to make someone my wife,
Trying to do the right thing,
Trying to ensure the club's reputation stayed intact.
I didn’t believe in the one,
Didn’t think I would find someone who would consume me,
And I thought it was fine, but I was wrong.
She came out of nowhere and hit me hard in the chest,
The need to claim her consumed me,
But I was a married man.
I couldn’t leave my wife, but I didn’t want my Red to leave me.
I lied to her, hurt her, and she ran,
Not even looking back,
Not willing to hear my side of things.
I know the right thing to do was to walk away,
The trust was broken,
But I chase her, refusing to give up on her, on us.
She’s my everything,
And if she thinks I’ll just let her go, then she has another thing coming,
Because I’ll chase her to the end of the earth to make her mine,
It’s just a shame I forgot about the danger awaiting us….
Rose
Growing up, I used to believe in the fairytale,
You know, the one where the girl gets her man and they live happily ever after.
My mamma got her man, my grandmother got hers,
And after meeting him, I thought I had that,
I thought he was my forever,
But what I thought was wrong.
He lied to me, used me.
All those sweet nothings and promises came crashing down,
Because my forever was someone else’s,
My forever was a brother and had a wife.
Everything I thought I knew, everything we shared,
It was just a lie, like I was some sort of game to him.
He broke me, made me lose faith in the happily ever after,
So I ran.
I tried to forget him, to start a new life in a new town,
Tried to progress in my career,
Even if it was for a little while.
But he wouldn’t let me go that easily,
He ran after me,
Claiming I was his, but it didn’t matter because he wasn’t mine,
He was hers, and he made me the other woman,
And for that, I promised myself I will never forgive him,
I will never take him back,
And most importantly, I will never trust a man again,
But I guess I should have realized he wouldn’t give up….
This can be read as a standalone. It is book 1 of 7 of The Rebels MC series, with a HEA. Due to mature content and themes, this book is recommended for readers aged 18+; this novel may contain triggers.

P.S. I read in the authors Dear Reader section at the end of the book a few days after writing this review asking to please be kind. Listen I’m not trying to be an asshole… it’s just the way I am. I guess this book did get a rise out of me so there is that.
I’m giving the 2 stars for the angst provided by Trigger and Ashley’s excerpts. Hopefully their book will be good. However this is Rose and Stones book— and boy is it ridiculous. First of all what a way to make a man look like a weakling… the dude stays married for 10
Years because his daddy told him to…. As if! And the whole thing about Elsie/wife/ex wife tricking him by saying she was pregnant and then pretending to miscarry. Way to make your H look like a dumb ass…. So here we have a weak, dumbass H 🤔 then Suddenly he’s smart enough to trick the 10 year wife by divorcing her without her knowing while simultaneously marrying his real love Rose. I’m telling you — you CAN absolutely make this shit up! Case in point the shenanigans of James the mastermind who plotted to drug and have anal with Stones Father( his bff)so he could later use it to blackmail him To pressure his son Stone to marry his daughter— note to self: never trust your bff! . You think that’s a run on word vomit sentence? Well I learned from Queen Charlotte! This book has so many ludicrous things going on! I don’t even know why I keep trying with this author. I keep hoping she will get better but she keeps getting worse. I swear she must think her readers are idiots… and maybe we are… we keep skimming her books… because I sure af don’t read this drivel word for word. I flash through the chapters. If you’re in the mood to be stunned by idiocy— read this!

I honestly don't know what to say about this author's MC books anymore. For one thing they are all the same. The plot ridiculous and unrealistic if you have a brain. This had perceived cheating, but wasn't really all that angsty. The reason the H stayed married to his bitch wife was beyond idiotic. I'm sorry. I don't want to be horrible, but something has to change.

Someone commented this author's books are like a bad drug you go back to and then you're sorry you did. This was one of the worst of a really bad bunch of books. The author seems to be getting progressively worse & her grammar is so poor, misspellings abound and sentence structure is nonexistent. A ridiculous story that is poorly written.
I don't think an author should put out a book this sloppily written and expect any type of payment for it; it's absolute laziness as this book was obviously never proofread. It's a good thing this garbage was on KU.

Urghh I’m glad I didn’t pay for this.
Charlottes like a drug you feel drawn to reading her books, but then you realise they are all so similar, that they become predictable and then boring… I will read triggers book because I honestly need to know what happens because that POS cannot be redeemed.
All these MC books are so intertwined now I’m getting confused with names being the same it’s a little 🤯 in all honesty

I am gonna go with 2.5 stars on this one, but rounding down. Stone and Rose fall pretty much into instalove, but there are a couple of issues: 1) he's part of an MC (to be honest, I'm not sure why this was an issue as once the truth came out, the only issue for Rose seemed to be that he'd lied about it) and 2) he's married, and again, neglects to tell the new love of his life. But it's all good because there's a super corrupt friendly Judge in town who's willing to do all kinds of shady crap for the MC in the name of love, like grant a divorce without the first wife knowing, and approve a marriage where the second wife has no idea she's married to this guy she's known a week. Of course in true Stone fashion, he doesn't tell anyone again for Reasons.
All this just seemed designed to build up the betrayal. Then we essentially get a rehash of the plot from Doc (SIDE NOTE: not to be confused with Doc: An MC Secret Romance because apparently this author is just... reusing MC names (both Doc and Anchor were names of MC members from this MC who have also got name doppelgangers from another MC who already have books). We already know Doc in this book will be the next book in the series, and I'm guessing this Anchor will get one too. Did the author just run out of MC names? And if so, why did she have to name the books exactly the same thing, with a subtitle? Soooo needlessly confusing! Also, do ER doctors have time to be officers in an MC, let alone the prez, as this version of Doc is? Because I was under the impression they worked like, 18 hours a day, and couldn't just put their jobs randomly on hold because of MC wackiness). Rose, a nurse, has been putting off training out of state because she fell in love with Stone. But upon finding out she's the Other Woman (she thinks, because she still doesn't know she has been married for months) she instantly disappears to get this prestigious training, making Stone nuts.
There's a small subplot involving Stone's father and his mystery Reasons that involved forcing Stone to stay married to this awful OW that his son hated. Stone's mother also hates the OW, but seems to encourage Stone to stay married to her, without disclosing the Reasons. And in a move that seemed to advertise (to me at least) that the author had no idea until late in the plotting process why Stone's parents were determined to see him miserable in a marriage he hated, at the end you find out the mother was more at fault than the father for keeping their son locked in this miserable marriage for 11 years. In the end, despite the author's attempt at redeeming Stone's mom, I absolutely loathed her.
Obviously eventually everything gets better and Rose returns to town so that Stone can grovel appropriately and this would probably have been rounded up to three stars because despite the retread of familiar material, I thought this one was done better. But then the third act happens and Stone does an about-face and decides that he needs to let Rose go for her own protection. Lord save us all from men trying to save us all... It's all just another way to make Rose also fight for her own relationship, but mostly just feels like a mindfuck after all of Stone's machinations over the course of the book designed to keep her permanently. Rose gets emotional whiplash and a part of me just wanted her to let this wishy-washy dude go and move on to her fabulous career as a cardiac nurse. But of course an HEA does happen, I just wish the drama hadn't seemed so... needless.

I am bowled over!
This is my first book from this author (I think)
From page 1 to the end the story sucked me
In and didn’t let go until the epilogues were done.
A story of love, betrayal, drama, great characters both main and secondary. You want the HEA for the characters but also celebrate the downfall of the protagonists.
The description stated it could be read as a stand alone, as all the series can but I think reading all the books in order actually enhances each individual book and makes the characters seem more real and alive

Stone makes a mistake when he is in his teen years by getting a girl pregnant and because he is part of an MC he does the right thing by marrying her. Eleven years later he hates his sham of a marriage, his lying wife and is living separately from it all but every time he brings up divorce his dad fights him on it. Then he meets Rose, his game changer. He takes a chance on Rose but he omits a couple of important facts about himself. What happens when it all blows up in his face?
I actually liked this one a lot but his dad - the whole thing with that issue seemed like a bit of an after thought.

great premise but needs editing
This book had a great storyline but really awful execution. For the record, I love this author’s work. This time, it’s been a struggle. It is RIDDLED with bad editing, horrendous grammar, plot and timeline inconsistencies. You name the error, this book has it. It would have been better if she’d fed it into Chat GPT and asked it to edit the book. I cannot even explain how many run on sentences—WHOLE PARAGRAPHS that are merely broken up by commas. There are words just left off of sentences, so you have to infer their meaning. Charlotte McGinlay has published so many books, that I was really disappointed to see how careless the editing was. I can honestly say it’s like she didn’t even do a pass through read before actually publishing.
For the record, if she edits it and makes it more readable, it’s a book I would add stars to for my rating. But I just can’t, in good conscience, rate something higher that has such painful issues.
And just so you know, I don’t usually ding a book this much for something like this, but it is EVERYWHERE. EVERY page has multiple issues. She needs an editor for this book or to see if she posted the wrong one.
Not sure how she has such a high rating on this book. If she fixes these things (basically the whole book), and lets readers know on Goodreads, I’ll commit to changing my rating.
I thought it could help to provide some examples. These examples are how the entire book reads. It’s almost like she published the first draft instead of the edited version. If that’s the case, I hope that she sees this review and goes back to quickly publish the right one. Reading this cluster has been so distracting that it pulled me out of the story every other paragraph … no, that is not an exaggeration. (beware — there may be spoilers):
Missing words and awful grammar:
I growl, “It’s the alpha hole that made me fall in love with him’s fault! He didn’t me about his wife, or about his club. Then he was with me for one whole week when he decided I was ‘the one’.”
Combining two persons dialogue into the same sentence:
“You think she had the affair?” he asks, and I shrug with a sigh and mutter, “Who fucking knows?”
“I’m married,” I blurt, and Dad goes quiet for a moment before he demands softly, “Explain, Rose.”
Dad chuckles, “Sounds about right for a brother,” and I snap, “Dad!” and he clears his throat and says, “Sorry, sweetheart, continue.”
Run on sentences (there are SO MANY), but some examples include:
I scowl as my fucking wife storms inside, not caring that this room is off limits, the prospect – a person who needs to spend a year doing grunt work, proving their loyalty to the club before they get voted in as a brother – Joe, standing behind her holding his cheek, while I can hear my sister cackling.
I shake my head and state, “He isn’t just some guy, Sally, he,” I side eye Dr. Conners, whose grin is big and wide, and I sigh as I admit, “He’s my everything, my heart, and I also can’t leave my family for that long.”
He’s my heart, and it helps that my little sister loves him, though Mama and Dad are itching to meet him, something we keep putting off, more him, worried they won’t like him, which is ridiculous.
I laugh as his dad shakes his head and looks at me with a smile and kind blue eyes that are much like his son's. Though he has black hair, which he wears in a man bun, while his son has dark red hair, darker than mine.
There are timeline inconsistencies — like her sister being back home and she being in NY but she wonders if her sister changed her sheets???? In her apartment across the country???

The sticking point for me with this book was what seemed to me to be a lack of growth in the H. He made an impulsive decision eleven years ago to marry the OW who falsely told him she was pregnant. A week after meeting the h, he secretly files for divorce from the OW and tricks the h into signing a marriage license. When the h is hurt, his response is to file for a divorce. He just doesn't learn. There are many references to other couples with relationships in trouble, a set up for future books. The explanations and justifications for the choices that characters make didn't hold water for me.

I loved this one. It was crazy and I need more right now. I loved Stone so much. He deserves to be happy.

Funny, a little dark, a lot steamy
I kept getting teasers of this book and I knew it was going to be classic.
I won’t do any spoilers because the twists and turns this book takes - boy oh boy.
However, I will say that Stone is awesome, like really awesome. They both are. The side characters are everything as well. I really can’t wait until the next book in this series!
Plus, if you read any other CLM books there are definitely cameos from other series that are much needed and I loved reading about them again!

Lot of repetition of what they are saying or thinking
Not much angst
Reason for drama ridiculous
Insta Love
H is VP of club he took over for his Dad who used to be VP
H married to another woman at the beginning because she said she was pregnant but then had a miscarriage has remained married to her in name only for about 11 years. His Dad is making him stay married to the ow who everyone can't stand
Falls instantly in love with the h when he meets her then finally he gets a divorce (but don't tell the ow) and marries the new h without her knowledge.
Reason his Dad wanted him to stay married was a little much for me. I mean they are in a MC, take the guy out that did what he did if that is what happened. I mean that is what Stone eventually does.
If there is a book with Trigger's story I would probably like to read that one.

So many confusing over the top plots, and none of them made any sense. Mmc is an idiot!
I don’t even know where to start with how bad this one was. They’re all cheating on their wives and husbands and it’s awful. Can’t any of them stay monogamous??? Stone consistently lies to poor Rose throughout the book. He’s married and the vice president of the Mc, and he hasn’t even told her that he’s in the Mc. Rose is a doormat as I wouldn’t forgive him!!
Stone/Cage meets Rose when he’s at the mc’s nightclub. He’s not wearing his cut as he’s investigating drug dealing in the club. Stone is the VP of The Rebel’s Mc yet he’s still married to his wife who he hates as his dad threatens that he’ll get him thrown out of the club if he divorces her. WHY WOULD THEY THROW HIM OUT FOR DIVORCING HER??? It doesn’t make any sense!!! It doesn’t make any sense why he married her in the first place. He suspected she was lying about being pregnant so why didn’t he go to an appointment with her? A scan?? Instead he married her and she wasn’t pregnant and tricked him. 🙄🙄🙄🙄
So for five months Rose and Cage are madly in love but she doesn’t know him at all. It’s crazy and ridiculous. What does she think he does for work? He’s really close to all the Mc brothers yet he’s not in it? 😂😂😂 Doc who works with Rose at the hospital keeps slipping up and nearly calmly Cage his ‘brother’ and she still doesn’t suspect anything.
Of course it all blows up and there’s a huge amount of drama. 🥱 Meanwhile the other members have all got problems of their own that are as equally ridiculous. For example in Doc’s book he’s marrying a senator’s daughter for the club. Why would a senators daughter want to marry an Mc member? 😂😂😂😂 Why would the senator agree to it?
Sorry it’s really bad.

He suspected she was lying about being pregnant so why didn’t he go to an appointment with her? A scan?? Instead he married her and she wasn’t pregnant and tricked him. 🙄🙄🙄🙄
So for five months Rose and Cage are madly in love but she doesn’t know him at all. It’s crazy and ridiculous. What does she think he does for work? He’s really close to all the Mc brothers yet he’s not in it? 😂😂😂 Doc who works with Rose at the hospital keeps slipping up and nearly calmly Cage his ‘brother’ and she still doesn’t suspect anything.
Of course it all blows up and there’s a huge amount of drama. 🥱 Meanwhile the other members have all got problems of their own that are as equally ridiculous. For example in Doc’s book he’s marrying a senator’s daughter for the club. Why would a senators daughter want to marry an Mc member? 😂😂😂😂 Why would the senator agree to it?
Sorry it’s really bad.

this is poorly written.... not sure if I'll be able to finish. My main issue is that you don't always know where they are and who is there plus literally no one thinks him tricking her into unknowingly marrying him is a bad thing? literally everyone is like, "nice!" like, wtf? no one was like "hey maybe she won't like that and this will all blow up in your face." nope.
plus, no one knows his wife's miscarriage was fake for over a decade and that's part of why he can't divorce her but that was all fixed in two seconds when doc announced that she'd faked it. could have done that a decade ago.
none of the characters are well developed and they all feel rather immature, like the author is too young to know how to write an older character.
his reasons for marrying and staying married to Elsie make no sense. she's supposedly pregnant so he marries her despite believing it's probably fake. wow, turns out it was fake, but yet he already married her? and now can't divorce because he'll be disowned?
his father supposedly has a huge role in the club and that's why he won't risk his place in the club, but so far we've never even seen his dad.

First and last book by this author.
Well, this was a complete mess. Convoluted, which I could deal with, but honest to goodness, the ridiculousness of actions, past and present was astounding.
Not only was the story ridiculously unbelievable, but the amount of errors that littered this book was staggering.
The ex-wife Elsie and her despicable father should have been dealt with years earlier.
And Cage/Stone’s father should take some blame, one for not speaking up about the deplorable thing that happened to him, and two for allowing his wife to bully him. Some weak biker he is. Couldn’t believe he stayed with his wife, counselling couldn’t sort that marriage out.
Sad about Doc and what he is doing.
Won’t read his book though as it will probably be a rinse and repeat of this book, including errors.
Plus after jumping years ahead it basically states everyone is all good and loved up after some troubles in the club.
Accepting a cheater back must be the theme.
Read through KU so only my time wasted.

Stone & Rose: triggers- lying, cheating, sexual assault, marriage entrapment, blackmail, septal defect, marriage fraud. I really liked this book for the most but there was a lot going on. the author does give us a look back at both characters when they were in school to see what made them the people they are in present time. Rose wanted to avoid MC members and boys altogether but with her best friend and her little sister being boy crazy, it was exasperating. Stone was the son of the VP of the club and needless to say, he and his friends were making their was through the female population of town, until one female trapped him. forced to marry her and stay with her, he hates his lying wife. he never expected to find his One, until he sees Rose. these two literally set the pages on fire until lies are unpackaged. then all hell breaks loose. and then the plot twist started twisting. so fun. it literally stopped me in my tracks. I was not expecting this one.

I actually really enjoyed this book and finished it very quickly. It was my first time reading a book by Charlotte McGinlay
Some parts felt a little far fetched, but the story kept me going. A few lines and actions were repeated a bit too often, which was a little annoying, but overall it didn’t take away from the story.
It’s a quick read around 230 pages with a touch of miscommunication that gets resolved fairly fast.
I really liked Stone’s bond with his brothers from the club and how everyone supported one another. I will probably look at what other books she has because of that.
I just wish it had been longer… I wasn’t ready for it to end. Lol
*I did not receive an arc for my review. I happened to pass a post about it and downloaded it immediately. Haha

November 30, 2025Don't start this book before bed
"Just a few chapters, then I'll go to bed," I lied to myself like a lying liar. I'm so glad I've found this author. I've read a few books from other series and am still making my way through them, and I've yet to find a bad one. I even hope I see more mafia romances from this author - I loved the one I read.
(Slight spoilers of side character drama) I can't wait for book 2 with Doc and seeing how his drama plays out. I'm glad there was no actual cheating here, and I reeeeally hope Ashley doesn't get back with Trigger. Like, pls. Kill him off and set her up with Doc or something before allowing a reconciliation to happen. 😭

So I have a confession. I stayed up all night and you know when you say to yourself just one more chapter. Well it was like the whole book. I just couldn’t get enough. I ate it up & still wanted more. This book was just wow. I love me an MC read. But this was literally perfect. Didn’t do too much or give too little. It’s like the author knew the perfect amount to keep us on edge. But not only does she give you the HEA, she leaves you wondering about the brothers we meet & having to know more. I hope we see more of Cage & Rose throughout the series. Trust if you want a book that’s going to capture your attention from page 1 then this is your read.

Another Great Story
I love this author and how her characters go up and down building there relationship, pulling at the heart strings the whole time. This book has a strong female lead who ends up being the white knight. The secondary characters pull you in just as much as the main characters. I cant wait for triggers story I have a feeling that one is going to reck havic with the heart.I'll be stalking kindle for the next books in this series. This story will not disappoint and pull you right in just like all her other books have.

Lots of drama
This is a well written, and I have to say creative plot. The author did a good job. That being said she created one of the most selfish, cowardly jerks as a main character. He is in a situation that he allowed his father to rule albeit he finds the reason at the end BUT he was too cowardly till then to fix it. He's extremely selfish by the things he does and doesn't do for his 2nd wife.
It is well written. If you can stand the male lead and like tons of drama you might like this one.

Grovel = H was married when he met the h, but he quickly got divorced and then married the h without her knowledge....He had to make up for that
MC = it's there in the background
OW drama = H's ex-wife was just a nasty piece of work causing issues for the H and his family. OW tried to take out the h with a knife. Comeuppance? H took out the OW with the same knife, but he finished the job.

read this book!!!
This book was too good I read it in 2 busy days. I would pick it up everytime I had a chance. This is a great beginning to a new series and I’m here for it!!! The main character were both amazing and perfect for each other. The MMC had me wanting to slap him in the side of the head and say what the hell are you thinking?! But it all came together. I can’t wait for the next book!!

LOVED IT
Charlotte is always an instant download for me. She does betrayal and grovel perfectly. Her heroine’s for me are always the perfect combination of sweet with a backbone. Her characters always have the tough conversations and her spice is always just right. I’m beyond excited for the rest of this series.

The start of a MC with the new generation taking over and everything spinning out or control. Unwanted marriage unknown marriage and jealousy are everywhere and when a life is on the line guilt is the biggest enemy. This was a quick read and I enjoyed every part of it. Check the warnings before jumping in

Another excellent book!!
I absolutely love seeing when Charlotte McGinlay adds a new book. I have read them all and I have to say this one was amazing, I loved how she incorporated all the mc's in this one. I can't wait to read the other 6 books in this series. So if you're wanting something to read I highly recommend checking this book out. You won't be disappointed 😊

Good
I didn’t realize Charlotte had another book coming out so when this popped up I was so excited and read it in one day. It’s a good read.
My only disappointment is Doc’s book is next. I understand it’s a big one and is gonna lead to a hell of a lot but I want to know what happens with the idiot Trigger and Ashley. Idk if Trigger could even try and fix what he did.

Lies, betrayal and she is the OW.
I really enjoyed this story but I’m even more interested in reading the next ones.
The story line felt like déjà vu. But it’s really well was still good, entertaining and I like the plot twist between the MMC and his dad. I didn’t see that one coming!
Now I can’t wait for the next one!!

Lies
Tons of lies and manipulation.. Hard to believe this is an MC with how little backbone the men have...no communication which would have made it more believable... Hate that they all cheat and while it wasn't like he was with ow it's obvious the next ones are and that sucks hope all their supposed ones find better loyal men.
