Review: Stone Walls by A.M. Madden

*****5 Stars*****
 

Move over Jack Lair, we have a new delicious alpha male on the scene! Ben Stone, the sexy, bossy and over-protective cop (yes, a man in uniform!) definitely gives Jack Lair a run for his money in the hottest book boyfriend stakes....
Ella Parker has moved to New York to be close to her old college friend after a horrific tragedy in which she lost her mother in a gruesome attack in her home which also left Ella beaten and scarred. Now back on her feet she has a job working with her friend Andrea and Andrea is determined to fix her love life for her too.
Ben is a police officer working in the narcotics department, he made the decision to pursue a career in law enforcement when he found out after his father's death that he had been mixed up with the mob. Ben's partner Rob is Andrea's boyfriend and she takes it upon herself to play cupid.
Both Ben and Ella are resistant to being set up. Ben's reaction to Rob about Andrea's meddling was simply brilliant, "Maybe she needs a distraction, like a ring or a baby or a boyfriend with a bigger c*ck" Hilarious!
I found this book to be a really enjoyable read, but then it is a creation of A.M. Madden and I've loved all her books so far, she's a go-to author for me and never disappoints. The writing is exemplary and her storytelling is gripping and at times an intense ride. I'll always look forward to more from this author. Fab five star read!

Benjamin Stone has an unrealistic determination to rid the streets of New York from any and all drug dealing scum. That determination quickly moves him and his partner, Rob Withers, up the ranks to Senior Narcotics Agents within their precinct. A new case assisting the FBI has Ben facing the ghosts of his past. Those same ghosts are the very reason he moved to New York to become a cop.

Ella Parker is bright, beautiful, kind, and severely damaged as a result of one tragic night in her past. Having lived an idealistic life, that horrific night sent her pretty castle of cards crumbling down. Forced to start over, she leans on her best friend, Andrea Hensen, to help her move on. With Andrea’s help, Ella quickly settles into her new life in New York City. It’s a safe and comfortable existence, albeit very boring.

Their paths may have never crossed, if it hadn’t been for their meddling best friends. Rob and Andrea believe that Ben and Ella are soul mates that were meant to be together, a perfect match. There’s one slight problem. Ben and Ella want no part of this matchmaking scheme. Funny thing about fate, it’s inevitable.

Or is it?

Can a truth cause the possibility of a happily ever after to crash and burn? Ben and Ella learn that sometimes truth isn’t the best answer. Sometimes ignorance is most definitely bliss.
