Alex is a good guy that helps so many different people as a reader I am glad I didn't see his eyes because I fell in love with him. So let me get into this, Heart of Stone is and should be a great and perfect starter book for anyone who's just starting out in the BDSM world of literature. However, both Krystina and Alexander are clinging to the secrets in their past, and neither of them are willing to compromise.

There's was just a quality to her voice and something about the cadence and her spacing between words that sort of drove me nuts. Alex, however, opens up quickly to the idea of a relationship and works hard to change who he is, to become a man who Krystina could open up to.I was bewildered by Mr Stone in such ways that he was willing to be a different Dom than he normally all for this one girl girl. We meet Alex’s sister, who gives us some insight into an a possible unpleasant childhood and this secret may be what stops Krys and Alex truly being together. However, once Alex and Krystina begin their arrangement the chemistry between them is too much to ignore and they begin to sink into a deeper intimacy.

While setting displays, that's where she meets Alexander when she makes a complete idiot of herself. There is a developing story which made me warm to the main characters immediately and with their connection came a special story which underpinned the essence of the book.The only thing this book had in common to 50 shades was the BDSM element, although in Heart of Stone it wasn’t nearly as explicit and went in an entirely different direction than 50 shades. Krystina Cole’s wish to put in practice her marketing diploma lands her a job with Stone Enterprise, not before knowing the rich businessman. Neither of them knowing how to trust or be honest about their pasts make it impossible to move beyond the pain that hold each of them in its grip. They both try to meet half way, once they realize there may be more between them than one night stands.

Secrets of their past that they aren't ready to share is preventing them from becoming a fully committed relationship.

From their cute meet (Krystina falls in front of Alex) to Alex’s billionaire status at a young age, Heart of Stone is so much like FSoG that it was hard to ignore. But alas, I was disappointed to learn there was no wrapping it up but a huge cliffy that is driving me freaking crazy right now! I'm pretty sure I liked Alex as a person more than Christian and while I didn't like Krystina as much as Alex, I liked her better than Ana.There are similar situations as fifty shades, but they are so different that you can obviously tell the stories are different.
