The Wildheart Duet #1
Stolen Love
Marshall ~ The day that Adrienne Hamilton crashed into my world, everything changed. I had always lived life my way. What I thought I’d never want - a wife, a family - was now the most important thing in the world to me. Then it was gone. Lochlan Finch took everything from me before leaving me for dead. He won’t get away with it. I will find him and once I do, I will destroy him. Just like he destroyed us.
Adrienne ~ Marshall Trent opened my eyes to a new world. A life that I never thought possible, was now ours. It’s amazing how one person, one moment, can change the entire course of your life. Marshall changed my life for the better. But the loss we suffered at the hands of Lochlan Finch would change us irrevocably.
Lochlan ~ No plans are flawless, but there weren’t supposed to be this many misses. Trent should have died and Lana should have woken up ready to be the devoted housewife that I was planning for. No matter. I will find Trent and get rid of him for good this time. As for Lana, she’s always had a very strong will, but everyone breaks eventually. I won’t stop until she shatters.
Lana ~ When I woke up everything was black. I don’t know who I am, aside from my name. I have no one to count on. No friends. No family. There is a man out there named Marshall Trent and he wants to kill me, but no one scares me more than Lochlan Finch. He calls himself my husband, but he’s no lover of mine. He’s my worst nightmare come to life.

4-4.5 star
STOLEN LOVE has all the elements that make a dark erotica reader happy: torture, rape and secrets!!
“You will go nowhere, do nothing, and talk to no one, without me knowing about it. Your life is now in my hands.”
“Whooooo are you?“ I managed to choke out.
“I’m Lochlan Finch. I’m your husband and I own you.”
In STOLEN LOVE, Wallace flip-flops back-and-forth between 2 stories: a couple in the past and the a couple living during the present time. The first story is about Marshall and Adrienne. The way they met and fell in love was very endearing and realistic. I really enjoyed watching their romance bloom and could feel the passion between the two. The second story is about Lochlan “Lock” and his wife Lana. Lana has no memory of anything prior to 3 years ago and is basically being held captive by her husband Lock. Lock is extremely sadistic. I was very impressed by Wallace’s willingness to go dark and get very descriptive. There are no fade to black scenes here!!! In the past, Marshall and Lock were best friend and business partners yet during the present, Lock is doing everything in his power to keep Marshall away from his wife Lana.
The beginning of this book was surprisingly good - I didn’t want to put this book down!!!!! The first half of this book was packed with excitement, intrigue and IMO was + 5 star material. Although I didn’t love the way the book ended, I am definitely planning on reading the sequel as soon as it comes out!

This book was off the chain! It was dark and horrifying at times, sad and brutal, but oh so good! The twists and turns keep you engaged, and you just keep hoping things will get better for Lana. Lock is an evil man, I hate him! And poor Marshall! This book is a rollercoaster of emotions, and moves at a fast pace. Just when you think things are starting to look up, the book ends on a twist! I can't wait to read the next book!

Murphy Wallace is an upcoming debut author, so this is obviously the first piece of work of hers I've read. The moment I read the synopsis she hooked me. It intrigued me and I wanted more. Well, did I ever get more. Way more than I could have expected, and I loved every moment of it!
This story is told in the present, and also set in the past. And there aren't two POVs, but FOUR!!!! And even though you go back and fourth to the past and present, and switch between the characters, Ms. Wallace managed to do it in a way that flowed smoothly, and was easy to follow.
This story has sweet. And it is also chock full of dark, but I devoured each and every page. My heart swelled with joy, and then shattered in heartache. Stolen Love is definitely a emotional rollercoaster.
To say I'm anxious for the sequel, would be an understatement.

Stolen Love is a very impressive debut novel from talented author Murphy Wallace. I was hooked from the start and quickly got engrossed with the main characters. It is told from 4 POV but it’s made very clear which character is speaking. It also switches from past to present and back again but it flows seamlessly. Loch really must be one of the all time sadistic book villains, I don’t think he has a single redeeming quality! Marshall is sexy as hell and gorgeous to boot and I like the feisty engaging heroine. There are some incredibly dark scenes in it so please don’t read it if you are of a nervous disposition and have triggers especially in regards to sexual violence but those who crave a well written dark tale, then this book is for you. I can’t wait to read the sequel

A “page turner” is putting it mildly! I read this book in one day! That speaks volumes for someone like me. When I started Stolen Love, I immediately had the overwhelming need to know what happens! The characters are great. Lock is so dark and a horrible person but I found myself wanting to see what he would do next! I wanted to reach into the book and help Lana myself. I would recommend this book highly. Well done.
May 17, 2018
First of the cover is stunning and so dramatic I love it..Now omg Locke is a d**k you've been warned he'll make you wanna throw your kindle and throat punch him at the same time I know I did...As far as debut books go Murphy has done a fantastic job..The story is totally addictive and the emotions are real pure rage on one page and sadness on the next.Fans of dark reads will love this and should one click as soon as possible.

"I will put an end to Lochlan Finch. That is my purpose in this life."
This is a debut novel by author Murphy Wallace and I am honoured to have been given an ARC of her first book baby. I came across this author by pure chance and I am so glad I did b3cause I loved this book! Read in one sitting, I couldn't put it down!
I love it when a book keeps you gripped all the way through, what I do t like is waiting for the next book! 😂 Murphy, please hurry up and write, I need to know what happens!!😬😬🤯
I like that Murphy is very descriptive when she writes, setting the scene and making you feel like you're right there with the characters. I will be honest, I was worried it'll get a little confusing with all the different POVs but I had no trouble keeping up with them when I started reading. The past and present chapters also flow very easily together.
Lochlan= Asshole. BIG ASSHOLE. Actually, theres not a word adequate enough to describe the scum that this man is. I'm not sure I have met (in books 😂) an asshole quite like this one! Why!? Why would you do that Lochlan!? He is definitely NOT a redeemable character in any way, not even his past makes me feel sorry for him, it's like karma paid forward. What he does to his men is bad enough, although it's kinda deserved for some of them, but the humiliation he brings to Lana is heart breaking! 😭 and what he does to Adrianne 😡😡😡
Lana, I wanted to cry for this poor woman! Yet the strength she has is admirable, after everything she's been through, she still hasn't broken. She fights him every chance she gets even though she knows it won't end well for her.
Adrianne and Marshall are so damn cute! I was smiling through all of their scenes, and that proposal? I think that's the most romantic proposal I've ever read! 😍 Marshall knows what to say and when to say it! This couple are like those couples you see and instantly want to throw up all over their cuteness! You felt their heartbreak though.
I'm still trying to figure out how Owen fits in to all of this and I am hoping the next book might she'd some light on to this. I must say though, I love him! I was so worried for him throughout the book!
The dark side of me really wanted more of the torture scenes (not to Lana though) (No one ever said I was normal 😈😜 I'm a sadist at heart 😂) I wanted more blood, more torture of his men. I need it. I crave it.
All in all, I really liked this book. Murphy is a new to me author (new to everyone!) And I am pleasantly surprised that this was her first. If this is what she writes for her first book then I can't imagine what the rest of her books will be like. I shall definitely be reading every single word she writes because this woman is going places! Congratulations on your first book baby Murphy! 😍😘

I've been wanting to read this book for a while and am so glad i read it and am glad its not over with
( opps sorry ).

Adrienne she hasn't had easy loss of her parents and trying to get along by her self but everything changes from seeing Marshall not always in the best way though.
Marshall well ( HOT AS HELL ) as soon as they connect during again not the best way he just clicks with Adrienne likes what he see's and goes for her but what happens next is a big twist for them both to which Marshall never see's coming
while reading there is a lot of emotions / roughness / hard core sex / violence - to keep in mind

This was an amazing start to the series and I cannot wait for the next book. So sweet, romantic, HOT, dark, disturbing, scary, and more! Marshall and Adrienne were amazing. When they meet for the first time, you could feel the sparks...and the lust. I loved how Marshall had to work for it a bit even though Adrienne was just as interested. Their passion and love for each other was so deep that you just knew that nothing could come between them.....except it does......and it is heart wrenching.
Lochlan and Lana have the complete opposite relationship. It is so dark and so disturbing that I was on the edge of my seat to see what would happen next. What a huge surprise at the end which had me desperate to continue the story.
I highly recommend this for any other lovers of dark romance!

Oh lord this was brilliant we get all the POV from the characters and the past and present stories of all the background with nothing left out, the author tells it all and like it is and it will gut you in places and put a smile on your face in another place with all the lies, deception, torture and has you praying for some kind of light to come.
The characters are complex and very strong and my heart hurt for Adrienne and the ending was shocking and I need to know and cannot wait for the conclusion. The writing and the plot is strong and once you start don't plan on doing anything else because this cant be put down.

⚠️ Trigger Warning as this novel depicts serious sexual abuse.
With that said, this is a great debut novel by Murphy Wallace! The book is written in perspectives by 4 different people and it bounces from past to present. But don’t let that deter you, it is very well presented and easy to follow. Each page you read will leave you wanting more. I’m patiently awaiting the sequel!

Wow! This is definitely not a standalone. However this story simply cannot be told in one book. There are four main characters and four different POVs. I was absolutely floored how much I loved the book. The storyline grabbed me and wouldn’t let go even after I read the last page. I honestly cannot wait for the next book. This book is in the dark romance category, so if you want an easy read this isn’t for you. However, if you want to be invested in your characters and have your heart ripped out this is your kind of book. Five stars!
May 12, 2018
Wow, what an amazing read! I must say it takes a lot to keep my attention since I’m not much of a reader but I couldn’t put this one down. I read it in 2 days and now I’m sad it’s over. The imagination of this author is just on point. As I was reading it was so easy to imagine what the characters were going through and I honestly didn’t see that specific ending coming. Fantastic read!! 5 stars for sure. Can’t wait t read more from Murphy Wallace.
May 18, 2018
Debut Dark romance from Murphy Wallace, is just that, DARK. The faint of heart need not read. It will leave you wanting more, and I hope part two will be out soon. Well written story of four main characters, Lana, Lock Adrienne & Marshall. Once you start reading you won't be able to put your kindle down. Bravo Murphy!
May 12, 2018
WOW!!!!! I'm so speechless right now. This is Murphy upcoming release and when I say she nailed it!!! This story showed love, evil, crazy and dark all rolled up in one. LOVE IT!!!! The ending OMG!!! I need book 2 right now. A must read
May 8, 2018
I loved this book! It was dark, twisted, horrible and fantastic! I couldn't put it down and can't wait for more!

*5 Stars*
This book is everything I could ever want in a dark read (trigger warnings definitely apply). This may be a debut novel but there's no mistaking the genius of this author. I could not put it down.
The storyline itself is thoroughly engaging. There is multiple POVs and time changes from past to present. However, Murphy Wallace handles it perfectly and used it as a way to enhance the reading experience. I was on the edge of my seat the entire time as it is filled with not just darkness but suspense and twists. It truly is an emotional journey.
One of my favorite aspects is the character development. Murphy Wallace put so much depth into them it was astonishing, even for the characters I loathed. The author did a fantastic job of adding depth not just to the main characters but secondary as well. The world building was extremely detailed. Between the character development and world building it felt strikingly real. Even the cringe-worthy moments pulled me right in. I absolutely need book 2!
5 stars for a wicked, dark, mind-bending and captivating read! Highly recommend for those who can handle dark reads!

4.5* Amazing Debut Book
ARC Reviewed for my honest thoughts -
Stolen Love is a dark brutal ugly tale of twisted pure evil betrayal at it's highest level.
I love dark reads but never have I hated someone as much as I do Lochlan Finch, this man is beyond nothing, no act to vile, he treats everyone with an iron fist and nothing will stand in his way to get what he wants regardless of who he has to break along the way.
Lana - Is a lost woman living in a nightmare.
Marshall - A sexy CEO, the world at his feet and the family he adores by his side.
Adrienne - Living the dream, a happy future mapped out.
This is not a quick read nor is it one you can speed read through, you need to take time for each chapter to follow the twisted plot, recommended for lovers of brutal dark twisted reads with a gripping storyline.

How I love a dark twisted tale and this debut novel did not disappoint. Gripped from the very first page, Ms Murphy skilfully and successfully navigates the reader through the different main characters POV’s in different timelines which added depth to the story. Lock - what a character! Evil and twisted, his sadistic actions made my toes curl and my blood boil - he’s definitely joined a list of my most hated characters. Be warned this story isn’t for the faint hearted but lovers of dark graphic reads will happily be held hostage to the very last page! I can’t wait to find out what happens next.
May 17, 2018
Murphy Wallace is a debut. Hard to imagine once you read this book though.
This book was so wonderfully written that it took me no time at all to become engrossed in the world she built. I love villains. That’s my stance on many characters. The characters in this book? I loved them all. And if it takes her two years to write another book... well I’ll be waiting impatiently.

This book was interesting. I hope there will be a follow up story because I need more. This plot was gripping. The H and the h where we'll rounded characters and getting the pov from Locke was awesome as well. A solid 4 star book.

I started reading this book and could not stop! Be forewarned. There are lots of triggers in this book. You will need to be rather aloof and strong to keep reading at times. Seriously, I considered stopping at times, but then I pulled my big-girl panties up and kept on going. I'm glad I did. The story is dark, dismal, and downright disgusting at times, BUT it's a dark romance reader's dream! It's one of those OMG-NOOOO!!!- type of books. Your heart is in your throat and you can't help but scream out loud. The story is told from different points of view and jumps back and forth from past to present day. It was not hard to follow at all. For all the happy moments, there seemed to be equally as many horrifying moments. The good vs. evil is clearly present in this book. I found the story intriguing and action-packed which kept me reading way after Midnight. The ending left me wanting more, more, more! Luckily I had Book 2 ready and waiting on my Kindle. I can't wait to find out what happens next! I hope my heart can take it. Two thumbs-up from me!

This book was like a rollercoaster ride of excitement. Poor Lana/Adrienne started out with the fairytale life when she accidentally met the man of her dreams, Marshalls.Their life was perfect and effortless and happily married for 4 years.
But Marshall's best friend, Lochlan ruined it all. He was obsessed with her, he kidnapped her. He did things that no man should ever do to a woman he supposedly loves and all she wants is to escape.
‼️No cheating, no ow drama, please check the triggers‼️

STOLEN LOVE…. WOW!! Gripping!! An incredibly brilliant DEBUT for author MURPHY WALLACE.
Despite the horrors, torture, and cunning evil that threatens to break the innocent - there remains a piece of fragile hope, an inner strength to find and make sense of what and why life has become this madness.
Delve deep and experience the journey of each of these amazing characters. to reach the end. A roller coaster of emotions. into a world where evil manipulates, tortures, and abuses... to crave what’s not yours. No words can fully capture the essence of darkness, a level of depravity, where evil derives such pleasure in the torture of the mind, body and soul of the one they claim to love.
Murphy is able to draw you instantly from page one… it’s a dark journey to the end, blending both past and present, light and dark within its shadows, heartbreaking, twists and turns. It’s a heavy read from the get go. It will make you feel a gamut of emotions...sad, angry, utterly helpless at the abuse of a young woman, shattered, You will walk away at times just to take a breath of air.
It's not for the faint hearted and for some, proceed with caution - it will have emotional/mental/physical triggers. If you can pull yourself through the horrors... you will see those moments of cherished tenderness, nurtured hope to want to survive.
It’s STOLEN LOVE. I love the psychology of the human mind and what drives our actions, thoughts and behaviours. While this is fictional, STOLEN LOVE, captured and intrigued my reading heart and attention. It gave me much to think about.
I highly recommend this book and I hope this author has more words and stories to bring us soon. Read the blurb - if it captures your attention, grab this book and read with an open mind. Hope is fleeting and fragile at times but gives incentive to always fight.

It’s STOLEN LOVE. I love the psychology of the human mind and what drives our actions, thoughts and behaviours. While this is fictional, STOLEN LOVE, captured and intrigued my reading heart and attention. It gave me much to think about.
I highly recommend this book and I hope this author has more words and stories to bring us soon. Read the blurb - if it captures your attention, grab this book and read with an open mind. Hope is fleeting and fragile at times but gives incentive to always fight.

Stolen Love by Murphy Wallace
Five Stars
Stolen Love is a dark romance by Murphy Wallace. I have to say for being a debut book it is a wonderful piece of work. This book was presented in four POV’s and switches from past to present, but the author does this seamlessly. This book is fast paced and sucked me in from the very first page. I read it in one sitting and all I can say is I want more! This book may contain triggers for some, but if you love dark romance this book is perfect for you.
This book has given me my new favorite bad guy. I’m not sure if Lock has any redeeming qualities, some parts I just wanted to throw my iPad across the room, and other I just couldn’t believe what was happening next. This book was definitely and emotional roller coaster and the ending was so unexpected. I really can’t wait to see what Murphy has in store for us in the next book. I highly recommend this book for all of you dark romance lovers out there.

WOW!!!!!!
From the cover to the blurb, l could not wait for this book to go live, and can l say it was well worth the wait.. This debut author has delivered one hell of a read
This book takes you on a roller coaster ride of emotions and doesn't settle on just one.. It has some very dark elements also, and l found them very confronting, but in saying that the story has you pushing thru these feeling to find out more... Told from multiple POV worked well and you easily transitioned with every character.. The darkness that is Loch surprised me and had me feeling so many things all at once
But the clever story telling has you devouring every page thinking you know what is going to happen only to be met with another twist that has you desperate to know more...
Without giving anything away, this is a story you will easily devour in one sitting and not realize you have lost the day/night.. It is that good and the ending has me wanting more NOW... A brilliant read from a new author that l feel we will be hearing a lot more from and l for one cant wait...
Highly recommend this read to anybody who likes substance in there reads.....
