Secrets of Stone #4
No Magic Moment
The Secrets of Stone series can be read as stand-alone books, though continuity of secondary characters and storylines is best enjoyed when reading the series in order. "No Magic Moment" is Book 4 in the series.
Abra cadabra...
My name is Margaux Asher--and I'm in love.
Crazy, right? Me, the girl who grew up in the lap of luxury and the shadow of cynicism, is now head-over-heels for an apple farmer's son who rocks my world and steals my breath. He's seen the woman beneath the princess, and loves me--for me. Trouble is...he wants all of me. But how can I commit that to him if I don't know what "me" is?
There are pieces missing--and not just mine. Until Michael opens up and shares all of himself, we're a great opening explosion, but not a lasting magic tale.
Don't look at the man behind the curtain...
My name is Michael Pearson--and I'm in love.
Margaux is the fire of my dreams, the fulfillment of my fantasies, and the woman who's asked the impossible. When your past has been hell, how is it possible to walk through it again? But fighting it isn't an option--especially when the ghosts rise up and battle back.
Especially when fate issues an battle back, or lose her forever.
Can I do it? Is love enough to change a person's soul, or will our magic become a forgotten moment for us both?

We continue with Michael & Margaux and let me just say what a freaking story.
I didn't want it to end. This story had me laughing and crying be prepared your emotions will be in for another ride. Michael past makes it's self known and by doing so it puts Margaux in jeopardy. Leaving Michael feeling as he has no option but to put an end to their relationship.
This story is total hotness right from the start. Michael show us a lot more of his dominate side. Some of his "dominance" will leave you feeling a little frustrated with him.
There is so many things I want to say but I do not want to give anything. This series has been fabulous. I can not wait to see what these author has in store for us next.
As I started late in this series I can't wait to go back and read Claire and Killian's story.
This is a MUST READ ! I highly recommend Michael and Margaux story.

Angel Payne and Victoria Blue are a force to be reckoned with. They draw you in with their tantalizing, delicious words that they grace amongst the pages of this book. We continue with the turbulent, emotional journey of Margaux Asher and Michael Pearson. The sexual chemistry between these two is even more off the charts than in the first book. I enjoyed the scenes of their naughty and saucy roleplaying.
The threats and constant battles thrown at them from all angles is a test on their love that they have for each other. They both still cling to their insecurities like a smothering blanket and it makes you wonder if they will survive this storm and shed their self doubts. They have both overcome so much together already, but can they take the checkered flag over the finish line?

She found the reason to love, the person that gets her, the person she could see being with for the rest of her life. Her Captain America, Michael.
He finally found his dream girl or rather he finally got her. They are a couple but could her keep her with our disclosing his past and the demons that he hinds from her?
This is more than just a princess finding her prince story, no is far to steamy for that. It is so much more than that. It is a modern version where the damsel saves her prince! How's that for woman power! Margaux is stronger in this book she knows what she wants, well she was like that before, but not for something as important as her love, her heart, Michael. No this is something that she has to fight for with everything she has in her.
See in this book Michael gives in to his fears, no I won't give anything away, but just know this... Your gonna want to kick his butt. Our Captain America is sinking and he need his princess more than he ever though he would.
In short, Angel and Victoria have done it again! This is simply put more, more than a fairy tale it is the pure definition of HEA For the Princess and her Captain America. Ladies, I want more oh and I love the teaser that you gave me towards the end maybe a new book with Kill's besties involved? OMG I soooo hope so!

Angel Payne and Victoria Blue are back with another scorching HOT, emotional romance that will have your head in the clouds and your heart in a vise. VERY well done!
This story was smoking hot right from the start. Michael Pearson shows his dominant side in more ways than one, and I LOVED it! Margaux and Michael's chemistry is just on point and oh so heady. Together they took the good ole' school girl fantasy to another level. This was one of the best scenes in my mind because this is where Margaux realizes what Michael can really do for her. He can take her to another place and make her forget her worries. He can bring her a pleasurable pain that she never knew she craved. This was a great turning point for them and was a small window in to what was to come in this love story.
Margaux Asher was not my favorite heroine going in to this book, but man did she redeem herself in NO MAGIC MOMENT. She won me over 100% in this installment of the series and she just surprised the hell out of me. I even realized the Margaux and I, are not all that different. I was able to relate to her on a couple of levels in this book. I mean sure she is ridiculously wealthy (and I'm not). And sure she has the gorgeous and sexy Michael Pearson on her arm (and I DO NOT). But she showed us great strength and tenacity in this book, and I was incredibly proud her the entire way through. The fact that it is so hard for her to shed tears, made my heart ache. The strength she shows for herself and for her relationship with Michael was a beautiful thing. She does NOT give up. She WILL NOT give up on herself or their relationship.
Michael Pearson. GOD! I just melt every single time 'sugar' comes out of his insanely sexy mouth. I melt. I shudder. My heart skips a beat. Michael was a FANTASTIC male lead. We get to experience the yummy dominant side, as well as, the vulnerable side of Mr. Pearson. He put his heart in Margaux's hands and he trusts her with everything he has that she will take good care of it. Michael's past is the main topic on display in this book and I was so happy to have it revealed. Margaux shared her past with him, it was only fair to reveal his. The problem is, is that his past puts everyone he loves in danger and Margaux holds that top spot right now. When he decides that the only way to keep her safe is to let her go, well, let's just say, maybe he doesn't know Margaux as well as he thinks he does.
Their relationship, their love, their happily ever after is put to the test in a big way in the latest installment of the Secrets of Stone series. We get TONS of make up sex, a deeper level of emotion, and a dash of suspense and I enjoyed ever minute of it. Don't worry ladies, you will get your Killian Stone fix as well. The easy relationship he has with his sister, the deep love he shares with his Claire, and the heartbreaking confession he has yet to share with anyone, comes to light in this fabulous read.
Angel Payne and Victoria Blue did it right with NO MAGIC MOMENT. I'm looking forward to more of this series and more of these wonderful and complex characters.

When the past comes back it brings tears of happiness but in another situation it ends up bringing turmoil and heartache.
This is the fourth installment in a wonderful series Secrets of Stone. This story was filled with passion, fear, anger and a man that needed to get his head out of his behind. I have to say that there were many times that I wanted to strangle Michael because he was being so unfair and not letting Margaux decide for herself. I totally understood that he was scared and didn’t want to bring harm to her but she was a grown woman. These two characters are going to go through hell before Michael can finally see that he was hurting the woman he loved that he had been a jerk.
Margaux Asher was a woman with personality and character and I loved it. She would say what she thought and didn’t care but when it came to Michael she was head over heels over him. Margaux knew that Michael was hiding something but it seemed that he was not going to say anything. But all that changed very early on in this story when they go to a public event and someone that Michael despises is there and touches her.
Michael Pearson is a hot-headed man that was in love with Margaux. He was handsome, kind and treated her like a princess. He was a very passionate loving man that was a tiger in bed. Michael thought that everything was fine and he was ready to pop the question but he good a big surprise. Then when he and Margaux showed up at the event it was supposed to be good but that’s when he saw his uncle near Margaux he went haywire. Michael’s worst nightmare came alive and now he knew what he needed to do. He knew that in order for him to keep Margaux safe he needed to leave her but what he needed to worry about was the person that called him “baby bear”.
No Magic Moment was an exceptional read. When I was first introduced to these characters I fell in love with them and now after reading this story I love them even more. I love how Margaux was able to finally have the peace she needed at the very end. I love moments like that. These two are going to have to trust each other in order for them to move forward but also be strong. These two authors have amazing writing style it’s raw and hard hitting. I do have to say that the sex scenes in this story were tastefully written and oh my so very HOT.
I can’t wait to see what Ms. Payne and Ms. Blue have in store next in this series!!

Received a copy in exchange for an honest review
“i yanked her into a kiss, deep and wet and languorous, while I still could. Once the berry stain hit those full lips, I had to share them with the world at large.”
3.5 stars. This book was different on many levels. It’s a cute love story with cute fun characters. Good book overall.
Abra cadabra...
My name is Margaux Asher--and I'm in love.
Crazy, right? Me, the girl who grew up in the lap of luxury and the shadow of cynicism, is now head-over-heels for an apple farmer's son who rocks my world and steals my breath. He's seen the woman beneath the princess, and loves me--for me. Trouble is...he wants all of me. But how can I commit that to him if I don't know what "me" is?
There are pieces missing--and not just mine. Until Michael opens up and shares all of himself, we're a great opening explosion, but not a lasting magic tale.
Don't look at the man behind the curtain...
My name is Michael Pearson--and I'm in love.
Margaux is the fire of my dreams, the fulfillment of my fantasies, and the woman who's asked the impossible. When your past has been hell, how is it possible to walk through it again? But fighting it isn't an option--especially when the ghosts rise up and battle back.
Especially when fate issues an ultimatum: battle back, or lose her forever.
Can I do it? Is love enough to change a person's soul, or will our magic become a forgotten moment for us both?
This book was interesting to say the least. It was fun and cute overall and a lot different than a lot of books I read. Definitely worth the read if you need a cute book to read!! Great job!

Angel Payne and Victoria Blue give us another stunning scorcher knocking it out of the park with No Magic Moment!
This book was sinfully delicious. I mean it grabs you by the eyeballs from the beginning and keeps you glued to the page the entire way through the book. The chemistry between Michael and Margaux is so absolutely sexy its damn near toxic, I mean it comes pretty close to leaping off the page if words could even do that. We all have fantasies that we love to talk about with our other halves and bring to life occasionally but these two, when they bring one together I've got one word that describes it EPIC. I mean talk about taking the Naughty School Girl routine to a whole new level. What I loved about it the most was the fact that the characters would not only role play but slip in bits of reality and true feelings would come out and those really tender moments would soften it up.
I will say yes this story is one incredibly amazing read its full of drama, action and suspense not just the hot and sexy bits that we all love. The storyline is intense and amazing and our two authors do a fantastic job of tying it all together and taking us as readers on a fantastic journey that really has you not wanting this story to end at all. These amazing ladies do such a great job that as a reader you feel so connected with the characters you feel their emotions as your reading, the anger (you will be angry) the tears, the happiness, lust, its almost like a roller-coaster of emotions as your reading but absolutely worth it.
Honestly this is such a great book if you haven't had an opportunity to read it download it and read it because its worth it!

I was given this book for my honest review
The woman of my dreams had never taken my breath away more. Her hair was pulled in a high poof of a ponytail over her makeup-less face, which was smudged with flour. A streak of red frosting trailed down her neck, and I instantly imagined licking it off. Michael’s thought
This is the 4th book in the Secrets of Stone series
Michael-cute and hot
Margaux-pretty and sweet
This is the continuing journey of Michael and Margaux. As their relationship continues it reminds me of the sweetness of cotton candy with the stickiness to go along with it.
The rough times that each go through on their own bring them to a thought that each may be damaged in their own way but together their hearts will always be stronger as one. The love that they have for one another when separated may be in the pronounced past but at the same time their hearts are too strong to keep them from their true future of forever ending love. With surprises along the way this couple will go through some major turmoil with the hopes and dreams of forever.
The sex between this couple is so sensual and hot not to mention demanding at times but that just makes this book all the more hot. The authors did an amazing, stupendous job with these characters along with their friends that with a little help and a lot of fussing this couple stands out in their own right. The mystery that was added within these characters puts this book on top of the rating chart and tops most others. Major kudos

First of all the ruler!!! I have been thinking about that piece of education equipment from the moment that these lovely ladies shared that something had been written containing it. I wasn't disappointed in the slightest!!!!
No Magic Moment is the 4th book in what I consider an amazing series. It is told from Michael and Margaux alternating points of view and done well. If you haven't read No Perfect Princess than I highly suggest that you start there.
These two have been put through the ringer in life lessons, they are strong people but have learned to be that way alone and apart from anyone else. Somehow, though the binder of great passion and greater love they can't be without each other.
Their story will make you laugh, squirm, cry and smile. Bring the tissues for more than you eyes, the passionate senses in this book are out of their world and will rock yours and have you reaching for something with batteries if a living model isn't near by.
There is always a Magic Moment when Angel Payne and Victoria Blue get together.
No Magic Moment is the 4th book in what I consider an amazing series. It is told from Michael and Margaux alternating points of view and done well. If you haven't read No Perfect Princess than I highly suggest that you start there.

Having just started this series I can honestly say that I want or shall I say need to read the first 2. I have fallen in love with this series. You don't have to read the others before to understand things in this book.
In this book it continues with Michael and Margeaux's story. They are so great together for the most part and the sex is off the charts hot. Michael has a bit of an issue with his temper towards others and gets jealous which causes so riffs between them but the biggest problem is that Michael's past comes into the picture. Michael is scared because someone important to him gets hurt and he thinks that he must end it with Margeaux to keep her safe.
Will their break up keep her safe? Will he realize that it isn't the best option? Will he realize that his fears are hurting her? Will she wait for him to come to his senses or will it be too late?

To follow well as promised here it is.
I won't spoil it because it was so fantastic you have to read it for yourself. The book took off right from the start Michael and Margaux are still new with their steamy relationship. They just can't get enough of each other but if your a fan you'll know that she has a troubled past and many hang ups. Michael is still pushing through her walls and in turn she knows he is hiding things in his past. He is very good at deflecting when talking comes to him. This book has story line. It's not just about steamy sex scenes. Mysteries get solved. I had shed some tears and loved that we had Claire and Killian in this story as well. They added to the depth. I have this might be my favorite of the series. I can't wait to see what these wonderful, talented ladies have in store for us next!!!!

Angel and Victoria are back with another amazing read!!
No Magic Moment continues with Michael and Margaux. It was an emotional read laughing one moment, almost crying the next, get ready for a roller coaster ride with them. Their story has been hot from the beginning and this book is no different. We do see more of a dominant side or more of his dominant side and part of it will leave you wanting to smack him. There is not much to say about this book without giving something away. Michael's past comes to the forefront in this book. Will he break it off with Marg to prevent hurting her or will he be able to keep her safe and stay together?
What I can say is read this book. since i started this series late I'm ready to dive in and read Claire and Killian's story.

So if you guys all remember, i was a bit stuck on book 3 of this series – it just wasn’t doing me any favors and was a bit hard to get through. Well, book 4 picked things up a bit, and it only took me one day to read it!
What we have here is the continuation of Margaux and Michael’s story, now that they have admitted to themselves and everyone else that there IS a story and that it’s of the LOVE sort. They both have a closet full of skeletons that neither want uncovered, but we all know in the wonderful world of reading, that all secrets come out one way or another.
When we last left off in Book 3, there were glimpses into Margaux’s past. We knew that she had a troubled time post her breakup with baller Doug, and that’s the dirty laundry that Trey was leaking as blackmail. I’m sure that will come back up somehow here…just wait. Then there was the mysterious woman that Margaux kept seeing throughout her life and again at the very end of book 3 that made us wonder. We knew who she was (at least i did) but wondered why she was showing up and how.
Then there’s Michael’s story. We don’t really know all the history – we just know that he’s doing what he can to protect his mom from an abusive person (Uncle Declan at your service) but we don’t know the full history, the beginning of it all and then how that ties into present day.
It’s at an event where hell breaks loose because Declan shows up to cause trouble, and trouble he brings. For himself in the form of some men who he owes money to, and for Michael because well, a fight ensued and he gets arrested.
All of the carefully stacked cards for this couple seem to be blowing over because now we don’t know if Margaux believes everything that Michael says, if she trusts him, and actually she hates that he won’t open up to her with the truth on everything. We are back on the roller coaster with them because there is more pushing and pulling than ever. Michael breaks up with Margaux to protect her and there’s only so much effort that she can put into trying to save something that can’t be saved.
He feels like he needs to get control back when they receive a package on Margaux’s doorstep of a canvas bag….with a beaten and close to death Diana (Michael’s mom) inside. He couldn’t keep her safe so why does he think he can keep the love of his life safe.
The darkness that Michael goes into in this story isn’t quite as bad as what Killian went to and that is actually a bit of the plot line here. Thanks to Kil, we’re able to see light but at a moment when it’s too late.
What i noticed in this installment that’s different to the others is the chemistry and heat that we get with this couple when they’re ‘on’ v what we saw elsewhere. The passion and raw sexuality is more intense with these two than with Claire and Kil and we get to see the skill of our authors come through full throttle at times. It’s what keeps the story moving nicely and what makes the dark and miserable moments that much more tolerable.
The way this story resolves itself is interesting yet not unpredictable. I think there’s more to the story that could have been…but it’s ok. Separately though, we get a nice teaser into what’s coming in book 4 – especially since we had a weird hint at it in book 2 when Talia moved into the Chicago apartment for a while with no more information. So…we get Talia’s story next and it sounds like there may be a bit of menage involved.

Book two of Margaux and Michael....THANK YOU Angel and Victoria!!!! I am totally in love with this couple! They are so in love and wickedly dirty in the bedroom (or in the car, on a desk?lol)!! Their relationship continues to morph into something neither expected but cannot live without! Margaux is seriously my hero and power woman! She fights to the very end for Michael! She is so in love with his mother and their relationship is so special to read. Killian and Claire continue to support their sister and she continues to learn what it means to have true family! All the twits and heartbreaks are just true Angel and Victoria writing and I can't get enough! As soon I I read the last page I wanted back in! These authors make it so easy to become part of the characters world's with all the detail and heartfelt interactions! The ending was amazing!!!!! I loved the last twist and pleasant surprise! Read this read this read this!!!

Michael and Margaux made me giggle, laugh, mad, angry, sweat, heartbroken and oh so happy! This romance, like that of Claire and Killian in the first two books, takes you on an emotional roller-coaster. They have so many secrets to reveal and many pitfalls to overcome. There are times you want to hug them both and other times you want to bang their heads together. I can't say how much I enjoyed them. Watching Margaux's transformation from the first book to the end of this, the fourth book has been wonderful. I especially loved Killian's GYHOOYA speech to Michael in the cavern, lol. The ending is extra sweet and very surprising. I had to laugh. Thank you Victoria Blue and Angel Payne for some truly fun books! I cannot wait to dig into the rest of this series.

Moments of magic
Oh my goodness, Angel Payne and Victoria Blue, blew me away with this book. No Magic Moment is number 4 in the Secrets of Stone series. It had my emotions all over the place. I was happy, sad, and mad as hell. In previous books, Margaux Asher wasn't a person you liked, despised even. But in this book, she melts your heart. Michael Pearson, in previous books was one of the good guys, there when Claire needed him, but in this one, I just wanted to smack him up side his head. They finally get their life together. Margaux and Michael are happy, but after a turn of unfortunate events happen, their relationship is put to the test. Will they get their HEA?

No Magic Moment kept the story of Margaux and Michael going. They are finally in a pretty good place in their relationship and have bared their secrets. Then the unthinkable happens and they are thrown back into a dark place. Michael pushes Margaux away to try to protect her. She will chase him to the ends of the earth but only so many times.
I love how these 2 authors can write so seamlessly together that you don't even notice it is written by 2 people. They have created characters that I have fallen in love with and can't wait delve into their stories deeper with each book. Angel and Victoria have made me want to laugh, cry and scream at Margaux and Michael. Love this series!

As the saga continues with Michael and Margaux, I fall more in love with this couple with every page. They have both admitted that they love each other, but needing to keep her safe from the people in his past comes to a head when the attack on his mother puts him on the defense. When he walks away will Margaux be able to make him listen to reason? Or will this be the end of both of their HEA? This story had me crying ugly tears and wishing I could just hug them. So much emotion!! I absolutely am in love with this series and cannot wait for more.

This was the forth book in the Secrets of Stone collection and it did not disappoint. In this book the story, or shall I call it the ups and downs, of Margaux and Michael relationship continues...……..
The rollercoaster of emotions felt by both characters in this book is portrayed beautifully, allowing the reader to actually feel all of these whilst reading. I found myself smiling, laughing and even getting choked up.
Fantastic book and very hard to put the book down once you start, no at all predictable. Cannot wait to read book 5 - No lucky number

🎧 As with the third book in the series, the main couple is Margaux and Michael. Although these two are not my favorite couple ever existed, this book was more enjoyable from the previous one, since it was a slow pace evolution of the relationship of the both of them, and the struggles they had to overcome.
🎧 The narration as always top notch. Loved the glimpse into the other characters of the family and friends of this series.
🎧 One thing I will not get over is Jason Clarke calling someone 'Sugar'.

With the ice Queens heart finally melted. Michael and Marguax are dealing with the struggles of being in love. Their love is tested by Michael's secrets and is desire to always protect her. But will that break then apart. Your heart breaks when he truly breaks Marguax's heart. Until he realizes that trying to protect her only makes both of their lives empty and that they need each other. This one ends absolutely perfect.

Reading about Michael and Margaux was magical.
The development of their relationship was almost a bonus to the character development themselves. This was a great addition to this world.
I really love how well the authors intertwine all of the story and all of the characters while they still manage to focus on the main characters for each book. Giving them all the attention they need yet utilizing their complete circles so well!
Diving into the next book without hesitation!

I really love this story! ❤️❤️ I didn't expected the twist. Both of the characters has painful and not so happy past. Holy shizz! I'm so thankful that Margaux overcome it but Michael's struggling bigtime and tadaaa it resulted to a chasing game. This book is overly SEXY and EMOTIONAL. No Magic Moment didn't failed to make me swoon, laugh and cry, same as the other book of Secrets of Stone.

This one surprised me
I admit, I thought I was reading this one just to get to the next one. Margaux wasn’t my favorite character. Bitchy, spoiled, damaged, cold. Then I got into this story and completely changed my mind. She became endearing. She made me cry. She made me love her and pull for her. I ended up loving this story. I can’t wait for more. On to book 5....

Not real sure how I feel about this one. The angst between Michael and Margaux was fierce. I felt the warmth and love of Michael's childhood home....I kinda wish I lived on an apple farm now. That being said, I feel like the resolution was anticlimactic, though satisfying, but kind of a let down. Worthy read over all.

I am so behind in my reviews on this series! Margaux and Michael are perfection together even with all their own insecurities they need to shed to be stronger for each other. There is so much going on and I will not give anything away other than to say I started this one and don't think I stopped the audio until it was over. It was so freaking good!
