Stolen Graves

Ashes and Graves Duet

by Bree Jones

After witnessing that love could survive in our world, I wanted it. I craved it. All it took was one girl, an angel with shattered wings, to bring this monster to his knees. She’s everything I’ve ever wanted but didn’t believe I deserved. Now that I have her, I’ll never let her go.

She’s mine.

I told her she would beg to have my collar wrapped around her pretty little throat, but I was wrong. I would gladly be the one on my knees if it meant she would regain her ability to fly.

If loving her means my downfall, then I’ll willingly fall, on my knees at her feet, ruined and forever grateful.


Ronan and Mya’s story continues in Stolen Graves , and yes, Rae and Asher are back too.

This is a dark romance and is intended for mature readers. Please read the TWs at the beginning of the book.

ARC Review

Stolen Graves is a dark, emotional romance about survival, vengeance, and learning how to fly again after being torn apart.

Bree Jones writes broken characters with so much heart. The FMC is resilient, wounded, and quietly powerful. The MMC is dangerous, protective, and unwavering in his devotion. Their connection is intense, raw, and beautifully written.

This story is heavy, painful, and healing all at once. It doesn’t shy away from darkness, but it also shows that even shattered wings can still carry someone toward freedom.

A must read for dark romance lovers.

I am reviewing this as an ARC reader.

Abducted Hearts. Ronan is truly exceptional; his patience is remarkable as he supports Mya through her past trauma and her journey of rediscovery. He has definitely earned a spot as one of my top "book boyfriends." His love is intense, the spicy scenes are incredibly hot, and the way he adores her body is every woman's fantasy.

I particularly admired how the author developed Mya's character so authentically. She was never a weak or stereotypical damsel in distress, but a woman actively engaged in her healing process. Her growth, supported by such an understanding and patient partner, highlighted her inner strength, and I absolutely loved her evolution.

Overall, I give this book a perfect 5/5 rating. Available January 30, 2026.

Chefs kiss! Loved the first book in the duet so much and this one topped it! Ronan and Mya were such a fun couple to get tangled in. Ronan’s love for her and her figuring out how to love herself was so beautiful. Their banter is up there with the spunk and tension as well. The spice was spicy! Enjoyed them a lot. Also loved having a bit of Asher and Rae intertwined throughout bc I loved them so much. Also Rae was still up to her antics which was downright hilarious. The storyline for this was original and compelling. I enjoyed the unfolding of the mystery behind it all. Read Abducted Heart first, then jump into Stolen Graves. Spicy, Funny, and Clever.

*ARC REVIEW* OMG, I’m obsessed! I wish I could give this more than five stars. Having all of the main characters together from the first book and getting to see how their personalities complement one another was everything. The banter, the playfulness, the protectiveness...I ate it all up!

The author does such an amazing job of making you laugh out loud. Even after a heavier section, she knows exactly when to level it out and put a smile back on your face.

Ronan and Mya’s story was absolutely adorable, and watching his selfless acts and how he helps her embrace her imperfections tugged at all of my heartstrings. The spice level was 🌶🌶🌶🌶🌶, but it was written in a way that didn't take from the story. And the meaning behind the title…😭😭😭

I absolutely loved Book 1 — it was everything I want in a dark romance. The FMC is a total badass, the banter was on point, the spice hit just right, and the suspense kept me hooked from start to finish.

Book 2, The first half felt a little slow, and while the middle delivered plenty of spice, I found myself wanting more of that edge-of-your-seat tension I loved so much in the first book. That said, the last 30% really picked up and finally brought the intensity and suspense I was craving.

Overall, this is still a solid dark romance with a lot of heat and just enough suspense to keep things interesting. If you’re here for spice first and thrills second, this one will definitely deliver. 🌶️📖

oh my lanta!!!!! phenomenal!!!! I loved the first one. but this was just as amazing in its own right. the BANTER is on point! the spice is spicy. the plot is all there! love love love. this author could have me read her grocery list and I would devour it. 😍😍

I am at a loss for words! There’s no way for me to put in how incredible this book was. I’ve loved Ronan since the first book but him and Mya together is pure perfection!! The twists that this book took that I was completely unprepared for! I giggled, I swooned, and I cried. Bree you did an absolute amazing job with this one!!

Stolen Graves was an easy five star read for me. I devoured this book and only put it down when real life demanded I be an adult.
From start to finish, this story pulled me in and refused to let go.

Getting Mya and Ronan’s story was everything. Mya’s innocence was one of the most beautiful parts of her character, and watching her navigate pain, growth, and love while still holding onto that softness made her journey feel so real. Ronan was everything I wanted him to be. Intense, protective, and emotionally driven in a way that pulled me in completely.

Their relationship didn’t start with instant attraction or even enemies energy. It grew naturally. At first they simply existed around each other, then slowly became inseparable. He became her spark, and she was his calm. Their connection felt earned, layered, and real.

This book took me through every emotion. There were moments that hurt, moments that healed, and moments that wrapped around my heart unexpectedly. The found family element stood out in the best way and added so much depth and warmth to the story.

The spice was primal but emotional, which made it hit that much harder. It wasn’t just physical. It was tied to connection, vulnerability, and most importantly, trust.

Seeing Asher and Rae again was incredibly satisfying and added to the overall experience without taking away from Mya and Ronan’s story. They all just complete each other.

This book made me feel everything. I laughed, I cried, and I felt the hurt, the healing, and the love right along with the characters.

This is one I’ll be thinking about for a long time.

I love the series! Disclaimer, I was given this book as an arc from the author. But I would have been getting it no matter what because that’s how excited I was when I found out she was writing a second book! Honestly, it’s hard to pick a place to start explaining how good this book was. I knew when I read Abducted Heart that I was going to love Ronan and Mya from Stolen Graves! With Abducted Heart you get the more wild harder to contain duo, and with Stolen Graves you get their much needed balance lol. With each chapter of this book it just continued to get better and better and fully exceed any expectations I had for it! I love that there was an insight to their backstory, and how they continue to prioritize the family they’ve created with all of them coming together. This book had me laughing, kicking my feet, feeling like my gut got punched, and grinning into my Kindle. Stolen Graves was the perfect addition to Abducted Heart. It has easily become one of my favorite series, and with Bree Jones becoming one of my favorite authors. I love her writing style and the way her mind works as a writer! It continues to be two books I recommend and will continue to recommend to everyone who enjoys this genre or is wanting to dabble in it!

Beta read

Ronan and Mya’s story couldn’t have been told better. This book is hands down my #2 favorite dark romcom book of all time, narrowly beaten by Abducted Heart—the first book in this duet.

There’s funny banter, intense love, the plot is chef’s kiss, characters are beautifully written. This dark romcom is definitely going to stay in my top reads.

Tropes
Enemies to lovers
Touch her & 💀
Forced proximity
Kink exploration
Masked Man chase
Traumatic past
Spice 🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

Firstly, I really love Bree's writing and I DEVOURED Abducted Heart.

This one just didn't hit for me. There was no action, plot or humor, which are the main things I enjoyed with book 1. And I know these are different characters, but Rae's antics overshadow our FMC completely. The feelings the MMC has for Rae also overshadow his feelings for the FMC (or anyone else). I can't get into THIS love story, when the MMC is obviously obsessed with another woman.
Also, there are A LOT of typos.

I will be recommending this duet to everyone I can!
And I will be reading every single book that Bree writes! She has quickly become one of my favorite authors🫶

[Stephanie Jackson · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book absolutely blew me away! I was expecting to love this one a little more after I read abducted heart and OMG I love it so much more then a little. The spice was spicy and the depth Bree is able to capture in her characters is truly amazing! If you wanna read this one read Abducted Heart first I promise you will fall in love with both of them!

[Shauna Whelan · Rating 5 out of 5]

I was blessed to be chosen to arc read this book by Bree having read her first book in this series and devouring it. From the get go I was obsessed with Ronan and Mya. The twists and turns were executed perfectly and Bree you have a loyal reader in me now I can’t wait to see what you do next ♥️

I received a early copy. I’m leaving this review of my free will. First off I didn’t think the first book could be topped. I love Asher. But Ronan omg I love him. His love story was amazing. I didn’t want it to end. I don’t want to spoil it. But this book is as amazing.

[Amanda Christensen · Rating 5 out of 5]

I knew I was going to love Ronan ❤️ This book has such raw emotions. I highlighted so much in this book because of all the things I resignate with. The character development was amazing and I also loves the addition of the craziness that we know and love of Rae as well ❤️

[Amber Tribble · Rating 5 out of 5]

This book was absolutely amazing. I didnt want it to end. I love Ronan and Mya and the love they have for each other. I was so excited that Rae was still a part of this book also. This book had me laughing, and also crying. Bree does an awesome job writing. She really gets you sucked in and connected with the characters. I hope this isnt the last from her.

Arc reader***
Dear lord this book. I don’t even know where to start. Ronan is incredible. And Mya. Oh that sweet soul. This book is beautiful and tragic. My emotions went through the wringer. Emotional whiplash at its finest. Bree outdid herself with this book. 10/10.

[Kristin Clark · Rating 5 out of 5]

Wow!

I was so excited to get an advanced copy of this, and I absolutely loved it! As a big fan of smut and dark romance, this was right up my alley. It was so great to see the characters from book one again too; that possessive, quirky family dynamic just works so well.

I definitely had moments of crying and smiling throughout.

Five stars, I'd highly recommend it! #ARC #BookReview
