Book ONE - Stone Rules:

CHARLIE DOESN'T PLAY BY THE RULES...

She likes sleeping with men.
Sometimes it's not a choice.

Life hasn't been easy for Charlie. Her mother was a monster. And when Charlie left home, there wasn't always a warm bed, food, or a hot shower.

She figured out how to get by on her looks.

When her mother dies and she comes home to put that part of her life behind her, she finds the diary.
It fills her with rage.

She's out for revenge.

But along the way she meets him.
Ethan DOES play by the rules. And at the top of his list is "Don't get involved with clients."

Will he break his rules for Charlie?



Book TWO - Stone Promises:

We were childhood friends.
Me and the boy who would grow up to become Hollywood's hottest star.

When I was six - I fell for him at the bus stop.

When I was fifteen - he moved away, taking my heart with him.

When I was twenty-four - he came back for me even though I didn't want him.

The nine years we spent apart, I tried like hell to fill the void.

Apparently, so did he.
Instead of being addicted to me, he became addicted to women, drugs, and money.

So when he showed up on my doorstep offering me everything I'd ever dreamed of - him, I couldn't help but think of the age-old idiom:
Be careful what you wish for.



Book THREE - Stone Vows:

SHE'S FORBIDDEN.

I'm her doctor.
She's my patient.
My only patient.

She's alone and in trouble.
From the moment I see her, I know she's special.

As a resident, I've spent years living and breathing hospital life.
Then she comes into my ER, and my need to help her is all consuming.

Despite the consequences...
Even knowing I could lose everything I've worked for...
I can't stay away.

How far will I go to protect her?

Beautiful trilogy

I have read both trilogies Mitchell Sisters and the Stone Brothers and wha t I like about this author is the connection to the whole world she built around these characters world building is not only about paranormal literature it’s also for books who have arch’s of time that need to be revisited every time you are writing within that world. I like to read books that pay attention to those kinds of details. The books are a wonderful read but it’s also a great example of the development of an author and the world she created, she did a wonderful job. These are my go to authors they remember that the little details is really what matters so we can identify with our characters, rich or poor love is a universal language books let us use our imagination to visualize that world, I recommend the books, there is nothing like reading.

Stone Rules.... 5 out of 5... Very deep and emotional

From the beginning of this story I found myself on the edge of my seat not wanting to put it down. I didn't even get my sleep before work because I just had to know what was going to happen.

I loved the way that Charlie and Ethan kept fighting their feelings for each other, so afraid of the past to want to look into their future. You get wrapped up in their stories that you cannot help but cry and cry through a few of the chapters. There will also be times you will laugh.

You will truly enjoy this first Stone Brothers installment.

Stone Promises

5 out of 5... True love conquers all

This story was one heck of a rollercoaster ride and it truly kept you on your toes from the beginning. They always say that when you truly love something you have to let it go and if it is truly meant to be yours it will come back to you.

Sometimes when it feels like you have hit rock bottom, the only thing left to do is climb back up and that is just what Chad has been doing with his life. You can feel thru the pages the life that he tries to hide behind, until he sees her again then all the rules change.

Mallory had her heart broken and she thinks it can never heal again. You can feel her emotions too thru the pages. Both of these characters has things to over come, but once they want something you can feel the love flowing thru the pages. You can feel it just like watching the movies.

Dang, another book I couldn't put down.

Stone Vows

5 out of 5…. OMG!! I am in love

I cannot help but be in love with this book and the rest of the books in this series. I just love how you cannot help but fall in love with the type of man that Kyle is. Willing to help strangers on the street with no thought to himself. I believe this series is the reason I have had virtually no sleep in the last 48 hours, I just couldn't put it down. Each one of the books brought something else to the table.

I know that it is always hard when running from the scary things in ones life and you are always afraid to trust anyone. Elisabeth want to trust Kyle you can tell by her emotions thru every page. This author does a wonderful job bringing you into each one of the characters lives. In the end you feel like you are just part of the family because you know everyone so well. So much detail in everything you read.

Love the story and the Stone brothers can't wait to read the other books in connection with these.

Until Next Time…. Tabi

Beautiful Story

What I love about Samantha Christy is that she doesn't just write a suspense romance book, but teaches us many new experiences! I am soon going to be 83, but I want to relearn sign language as it is signed today! I taught at Perkins Institute for the blind, and got a sampling, but it was done between hand contact! Now? WOW, I want to become proficient at language for the deaf!

[Sherry · Rating 5 out of 5]

This is an amazing series from one of my go to authors! I have loved every book she has written! You definitely want to get the box set at this great price!

Stone Rules - Stone Rules is a fantastic read and an amazing conclusion to the Mitchell Sisters series and the beginning of the Stone Brothers series. I have been anxiously waiting for Charlie's story and was not disappointed! Charlie has survived a horrific past and became a stronger person. Ethan has also had his share of pain and together these two help heal each other. Charlie and Ethan's story is a truly great love story that takes you through a wide range of emotions. Samantha Christy is a great writer and has a true gift for drawing you into a story and making you feel the characters emotions. From laughter to tears, fear, anger, passion, disappointment, overwhelming joy.....you experience them all. This is a truly great read and an amazing series.

Stone Promises - From the first page until the very last this heartwarming book captivated me! I absolutely loved this book! This is such a sweet romance between two childhood friends who have always loved each other. Chad and Mallory are fantastic together and these two sizzle. Romance, drama, heartbreak, humor, awesome characters.....this book has it all. Samantha weaves a story that you just can't put down.

Stone Vows - Another great read from Samantha Christy! Absolutely loved this book and the entire Stone Brothers and Mitchell Sisters series! This book had everything I love in a story....romance, mystery, suspense, heartbreak, joyous moments, and great characters. I was pulled into the story at page one and just didn't want to put it down. Kyle and Elizabeth (Lexi) are fantastic together and I loved getting to revisit some of my favorite characters from other books in the series. Loved the ending!

I LOVED this series!

I discovered Samantha Christy when "Catching Caden" was suggested through one of my "read suggestion" emails. I started reading the book and couldn't put it down. I searched for her other books and found this series.

Each story is a stand alone story, but I love how it ties in together. There are references to other stories, but not enough for you to be lost in the reference but enough to make you curious. Or at least it made me curious 😊.

Each story is "real" in the sense that the story, the situations, the dillemna it's all realistically possible. It's not out of the reason of possibility. The sex screens are hot and definitely squirm worthy (in a REALLY good way). The characters are believable, and lovable. I also loved how the stories themselves weren't *easy* - man and woman meet, instantly fall in love, have a little drama, fix drama easily, happily ever after. No, the meeting wasn't easy or conventional. The relationship development wasn't easy, there are REAL issues to be dealt with first (some so heart breaking/upsetting/painful that it brought tears to my eyes, pain to my heart and I had to put the story down for a minute to compose myself), and they're messy and not clean. The relationship has to be fought for. There are chances of the relationship not developing, of there not being a perfect "happily ever after". Yes in the end the main characters get together, but if you read the other books Samantha has written (the Mitchell sisters and the Perfect Game trilogy) there are references to all the characters, and even then they're lives aren't perfect. There are hints of a realistic imperfect life.

I cannot wait for the next series!

Ethan and Charlie.....The mystery after her mom's funeral. She was glad she was gone but she was not sorry for her thoughts. Her mother used her in so many ways. From a young age she couldn't do anything. Charlie would get her revenge on those 12 men. Until Ethan Stone took her case as PI. Charlie had no way of knowing this man could give her so many first. But the biggest was falling in love. Ethan's last name Stone but so was the walls he erected around his heart, but this fireball busted them down. They both will know real love.


Chad and Mallory... They started out being friends at age 7 and 6 at the bus stop. Added to them Julian who was 7 also. They became the 3 musketeers until Chad had to move to Cali. He became a star and forgot the two. Everything changed after he got clean and years later at a premiere he saw her again. Still the only girl he loved. They both had skeletons but they handled them and working it out because of love. Lift was changing fast, even with Mallory's dad he's a changing. A whole and lot of live going on. There must be something in that water.


Kyle and Gina or Elizabeth


Kyle is the youngest Stone brother. Going to bed school and bei g a resident he had no time to date. So he always used Gina for release, as she did him. When he finds a pregnant woman to afraid to come into the ER because she had no insurance. He knew there was something special. But he didn't know exactly how special. Elizabeth changed home so much but he knew he was crossing the line. It wasn't until Gina opened her big mouth and told Elizabeth he paid for her long hospital stay after the baby came. She bolted but 6 months later she returned. All hell breaks loose but in the end Ethan will make it right. Elizabeth who wins the best thing that ever happened to her.

[Nicki - The Overflowing Bookcase · Rating 5 out of 5]

Stone Rules - Yes - Charlie's story!! Readers that fell in love with Charlie in the Mitchell Sister Series finally get more of her and she comes with a super sexy PI. Walls that have been put up for reasons only Charlie knows come crumbling down when she hires a PI to find the men who hurt her. But what she did not expect was that Ethan Stone not only is one sexy alpha man but that he would show her that not all men are bad and that true love can be in the cards. Totally emotional and wonderfully written. I cannot wait for the other Stone Brothers to have their moment.

Stone Promises - The movie star and the school teacher. I never would have thought this relationship would have been as sweet and romantic as it was. The love that these two shared was do heartwarming and true that it lasted from the time they were little kids. Samantha Christy has a knack for making characters that live extraordinary lives into people we feel we have known forever. An excellent read and I look forward to reading more in this series.

Stone Vows - Sometimes you never know what was missing from your life until it stares you right in the face. Kyle always thought that opening his own clinic was the only thing in his future, that is until a high risk pregnant woman shows up while he is working in the ER. Kyle's priorities change overnight. But can Elizabeth/Alexa get closure from her past to make a life with Kyle. This was by far my favorite Stone brother. The characters, the angst and the HEA make this a must read that I highly recommend.

>Book Review – The Stone Brothers Box Set
>I am an independent reviewer. This box set contains 3 complete novels in the Stone Brothers series, each with their own HEA. Stone Rules is book one and deals with Ethan Stone, a private investigator and Charlie, an abused woman looking for revenge. Charlie’s abuse causes her to be very forward in her dealings with Ethan, but toward the end of the book, Charlie accepts the healing that Ethan offers.
>The second book is Stone Promises and deals with Chad Stone, a movie star and his childhood crush, Mallory. Chad’s early career sent him off the rails and he doesn’t reconnect with Mallory until later in his life. The interesting part of this book is what seems to be a realistic look behind the scenes of filming a movie. When Mallory watches Chad film a sex scene, my heart broke for her.
>The last book in the Stone series is Stone Promises. This book deals with doctor Kyle and his pregnant patient, Lexi. I disliked how routine sex was for Kyle. He uses a nurse for stress relief a lot. Once he is in love with Lexi, his sexual attraction didn’t seem that special. The baby is deaf in this book, so a great deal of time is spent discussing ASL, which is really cool. Lexi’s brother, Caden, is introduced in this book. Caden will appear in the next series.
>This box set is appropriate for an adult audience. I am giving this box set 5 stars. The Mitchell sisters and their spouses from a previous series all make appearances in this series also.

Amazing read

Love this boxset. This book puts all three Stone Brothers in just one book.
* Book 1 follows Charlie and Ethan. This book was split into two parts. Part One was from Charlie’s POV and Part Two was from Ethan’s POV. Charlie is in the states due to her mother’s funeral. She decides to stay in the states for a little while and hires Ethan as a P.I. to track down a list a men. Throughout this book, readers get glimpses of the abuse Charlie endured at the hand of her own mother.
* Book Two follows Mallory and Chad. Mallory and Chad were best friends. Chad moved to California where he was discovered by a talent scout. Chad and Mallory see each other nine years later. Chad has to work to get in Mallory’s good graces. He uses her students to help him get a date. Slowly but surely Chad shows Mallory that he’s in it for the long haul.
* Book 3 follows Lexi and Kyle. This book was also split into two parts. Part One was from Kyle’s POV and Part Two was from Lexi’s POV. Kyle and Lexi first meet when Kyle treats her because she was pregnant and bleeding. A week later, Lexi is put on bed rest and she becomes Kyle’s only patient. Kyle is there when Lexi delivers her baby via C-Section but Lexi ends up leaving the hospital without telling Kyle. Six months later, Kyle sees Lexi when she appears on his doorstep. He then tells her that she can live with him. Love this whole boxset. Worth the read

Wow

Stone Brothers box set. Absolutely loved it.

Stone rules
Wow, this story had so much emotional trauma that my heart was pounding with sadness. This writer wrote this story well. She had an abusive past, whilst he had a great loss. His feelings see sawed and she couldn’t let go. Throw in another curve ball and this story for me was just one one chapter in the middle of the night. Loved it.

Stone promises
Loved this second chance at love. These two had an amazing story. He an actor and she was a teacher. Circumstances pulled them apart as teenagers. But a chance glance many years later and they realised that their feelings hadn’t changed at all. A few people tried to tear them apart again, but with the love of family and friends the held it together. Loved it.

Stone vows
I loved this story. She was in hiding and he was trying to help her. She had to stay in hospital for a little while and he was her doctor. They began to form a strong bond. He was always trying to help people out and when she found out it was him, she felt like a charity case. She left but soon returned . But he was having doubts, till they went to a wedding and had no doubts about what he wanted. Great read. Enjoyed the Stone brothers series.

Emotion Packed Trilogy

Start to finish this series was amazing!

Book 1 starts out leaving you wondering what is Charlie's story and where the heck it's going...I will be honest...I wasn't sure about the chemistry with Ethan at first as it felt forced ... But as you get to know both characters it starts to make sense... Have tissues handy because it will hit you with the feels ...also it deals with some tough topics of you have triggers this may be a hard read for you..

Book 2 was sweet and totally unexpected....after meeting Chad in book 1 his story was unexpected...I think Mallory played hard to get for too long but I also loved her forgiving nature....this was not quite the emotional read that book 1 was but did deal again with some hard hitting topics...in the end all you wanted to do was root for them as they both free up and matured I to a beautiful healthy relationship..

Book 3 was a little more predictable although I will admit I wanted to bash Kyle over the head a time or two for being dumb...in the end he pulled through and have us that extra dose of how amazing he is... Again this book may have triggers but is well worth the read

Another Three Book Winner

After reading, and loving, this author's Mitchell Sisters trilogy, there was no way I wasn't downloading and reading this series immediately thereafter. And, as I had hoped, it was as good as its predecessor.

What I've enjoyed most about each book in both of these series is that each story is complete, yet different than the others. Yet having read those that came before them adds to one's understanding and appreciation of the next story. There is a relationship developed with each character that only continues to build with each new story. And although some of the characters are actually related, the sense of family permeates for all of them.

All this having been said, I am truly looking forward to reading the next book in line, the start of a third series. At this point, I have almost no doubt that I'll be equally impressed with those stories.

[bookedbysmut Nikki · Rating 5 out of 5]

Amazing

I may be in love with Samantha Christy. Maybe it’s just a girl crush. I don’t know. What I do know is that she has taken NINE books and made them my favorites. NINE. The Stone Brothers are all amazing books on their own. But, when you pair them with The Mitchell Sisters (read those first) and The Perfect Game Series (read those last), you are getting NINE stories with characters from each book spilling over. One of the saddest things as a reader is letting go of your favorite characters, and with these nine books, you don’t have too. They all pop up so effortlessly and so intentionally and so damn beautifully.
When I read Piper’s story in Black Roses, I was dying for Charlie’s story and we get it here. It’s painful and beautiful, as is everything Samantha Christy writes.
You will fall in love with these men and women and you’ll have nine books to fall more deeply in love.

[Denise · Rating 5 out of 5]

Read the entire box set straight through!

Wow! The Stone brothers are a force to reckon with. That’s for sure. All three books are worthy of a second, third read! They each have hurdles to overcome and so do their women. If you love a twist and turn with ups and downs, where you want to shake some sense into the characters at times, then this is definitely for you! I did have a bit of trouble with the start of Ethan’s story, but I’m so glad I kept reading. The Mitchell Sisters needs to be read first to fill in some gaps (which I will definitely backtrack and read). I loved the banter between the brothers throughout the entire series. I found myself laughing out loud at times, gasping an “I didn’t see that coming,” and crying at times. This series has it all! LOVED IT! I’m wanting more...some sorta reunion or something. ;-)

[Pam Bryant · Rating 5 out of 5]

Excellent!

I chose this rating because this was a really great series of the Stone brothers. The characters were great. I enjoyed all three brothers. Ethan met Charlie, Chad met back up with his childhood sweetie Mallory, and Kyle met Lexi. All three relationships were very interesting they had to go through a couple of things to get to where they needed to be. But through it all they stood by one another. They deal with their problems. This was a really great book. I can't say too much in my review, because you need to read the book. So what I can tell you is this was a really, really, really great book. I recommend this book to all romance readers. Great read. Love The Stone Brothers.

Heart Wrenching

The Stone Brothers series will leave you gasping a the reveals, reaching for tissues, laughing out loud, and smiling a the end with each HEA! Samantha Christy touches your heart with her characters and the family these people form. The issues within are profound and very real, and if you've ever been there or known someone who has, it'll reverberate. Even if you only ever read what happens, Ethan and Charlie, Chad and Mallory, and Kyle and Lexi will touch you deeply.

This being the first of Samantha Chrisy's books I've read, I can't wait to read it all again after I go back to the beginning and read about the Mitchell sisters and their amazing men. After all I want to see how Mason and Piper came together before the wedding!

Great series

I really enjoyed this series and the characters. It was fast moving and the plots were great. There was a balance between the romance and the plot. This is the first book I have read by this author and I am glad I gave her a chance, and I cannot wait to read more. Actually, I am going to read the Mitchell series. I did not know that it existed nor that it should have been read first. I guess you can read this series without it, but the Mitchell's play a big part in the series. So, I wanted to give you a heads up, so you do not make the same mistake as me. Enjoy this collection. I think you will find it delightful.

[Alisa · Rating 5 out of 5]

Loved these characters. Each book was wonderful and I can't even pick a favorite. The characters are well developed and complex with real back stories that are elucidated slowly and realistically. The relationships are hard fought and complicated. The steam is immediate in the first book and builds very slowly in the third, but there is plenty of steam! No cheating. No cliffhangers. Since these are brothers, the characters from the previous books show up in the later books, as do the Mitchell sisters. You don't have to read their trilogy first, but I will now. Also, Lexi's brother Chance has his own book. This was my first Samantha Christy and it was time well spent.

[Zee Williams · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love these

One of the best series that I've read in a long time. These three brothers will make you smile, laugh, fall in love and want to curse them out all at the same time lol. They are romantic, stubborn and clueless but awesome. I love the three ladies in this box set. They are strong and have real lives unlike other books where everyone was perfect. I love that they have so much strength and power that they don't even know they possess. I highly recommend this box set. But I'd read the Mitchell set first the sisters show up in these books a lot. I didn't know about it so I'm off to read it now.

[Magwan · Rating 4 out of 5]

Stone romance

Set of three romances about three brothers, one a private investigator, the second an actor and the third a doctor.
Each story was well written and directed. The characters were likeable and the protagonists horrible just how you want them in a romance.

The first story I really liked but I didn't like the ending. i wanted the 11 to face justice.

The second just lovely but I felt it needed a little more of the pitfalls of loosing your freedom.

The third loved this one, it was patient and endearing, however again no justice.

The books do deal with abuse, rape, drug use.

Really worth a look, highly recommend.

SO PERFECT ❤️❤️😍😍

It’s been a while since I read a series this good, this perfect!!! This series are my books of Samantha Christy and let me tell I’m a fan already. I love how she develop the 3 stories. Not the same plot but at the same time the 3 of them have something characteristic of her, the same intensity of the love between the characters!!! Ethan and Charlie are my favorites but I loved the 3 couples!!! Can wait to start the Mitchell sisters series!!! A MUST READ ALL HER BOOKS!!!

Love ❤️ love 💕 this series

Thanks to my kindle home-screen advertising of books, I stumbled upon this series and I was sweep off my feet. The story line of the women and the Stone brothers was captivating and beautiful. The women have there share of horrific experiences as well as the men but once they bonded they found ways to heal and explore their love together. My recommendation is to read the books and enjoy their journey of love, healing and promises to one another. Happy reading 📖

Stone Brothers

What a good series. New author for me. Love the Brothers,and really enjoyed the sisters. Accepting the non sisters and the non brother was a great way of including and expanding the series. I will keep an eye out for the Mitchell sisters and Brothers Caden.
I'm giving this series a 4 and 3/4 star rating. I really love the family interactions,and bringing children in the mix.
My only disappointment was I saw the Mitchell sisters series. Unfortuantly, it's priced out of my budget,so I will watch

The Stone Brothers....

A complete bundle of 3 awesome brothers. I adore Stone Rules which was Ethan story. Love love Charlie. Stone Promises which is Chad story was great. Although Mallory got on my last nerve. Stone Vows which is Kyle story was very delightful. Lexi was good. As a bundle these stories grabbed you and took you on an emotional journey. Intense twists and angst filled drama. A new author for me. On to the Mitchell Sisters series cause I just have to read about this family.

A solid series if u skip #2

I don’t know what it is about book #2, but most of the time, they aren’t nearly as good as 1 and 3 in a trilogy. This series is nothing different. The books are mostly good and solid. Except for #2. That one was just boring. I had a hard time accepting the female lead in book 2. She was so nice and rational that she almost wasn’t real. I thoroughly enjoyed Ethan’s and Kyle’s stories and their girls. They were both good and fun. I also like a few more sex scenes than what was in the series. Happy reading!
