Diamonds are Forever Box Set: The Complete Trilogy (Diamonds are Forever Trilogy) Kindle Edition

by Charmaine Pauls (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.6 out of 5 stars 165 ratings
Zoe is a pretty wildflower destined for my brother's vase. I'll make her mine, even if how I do it will make flowers wilt.

A DARK FRENCH MAFIA ROMANCE
Men like us, we see things.
We do things, things that make us unfeeling.

That's the price of power and money, of living la belle vie and running the French mafia. Then she came along like a pretty wildflower pushing through the cracks on a dirty pavement - fragile yet resilient, a breath of beauty among the filth. She was supposed to be just another job, a nameless person I was to pluck from her life and hand to my brother, nothing but a pawn in the gamble of our diamond business.

There's a psychological label for men like us.
We lack empathy and guilt.
We do things to have what we want, things that make flowers wilt.

Note: The box set includes Diamonds in the Dust (Book 1), Diamonds in the Rough (Book 2), and Diamonds are Forever (Book 3) and is Zoe and Maxime's complete story. You don't have to read the other books in the collection to follow the story.

Review

"A brilliantly written dark scorcher of a book, Diamonds in the Dust is my favorite read of 2020!" - Anna Zaires, New York Times Bestselling Author

"A sensational story which races towards an explosive ending like a ride on a runaway train, where you can see the crash coming but can't close your eyes or get off. Violent & addictive, it's a pulse pounding marathon of pain & pleasure. Passionate love at war with passionate hate and you don't get to choose sides." - Book Bistro Blog

"This can't-put-it-down, beautifully crafted dark romance is intense with flawless and feel-worthy writing that pulled me to the edge, leaving me no choice but to surrender to this seductive and spellbinding story. I was a captive to this high-octane, hold-your-breath book. I lived and breathed this Beauty and the Beast-like story, which stole every breath, every thought, and every feel like a thief in the night. Pure addiction." - Bookalicious Babes Blog

"Charmaine beautifully captures the battle of wills between one who can't feel and one who feels deeply and relentlessly. Her storytelling is not just a sequence of intriguing events. It is a journey into the minds of two very thoroughly envisioned characters who defy type-casting. Maxime and Zoe's thoughts, feelings, and perceptions are vividly conjured even as they shift and grow and re-evaluate their positions. Her words are pure poetry." - Buffyanna, Goodreads

"Charmaine Pauls has written another breathtaking, mind-blowing, rip my heart out and leave me on the edge of my seat story! This trilogy takes place in the same Diamond Magnate world as Beauty in the Broken (which I recommend reading as a complement to this trilogy although it is not required). This world is a brutal one with many evil characters to go along with the anti-hero and heroine. The characters are so intricately developed that they immediately draw out the anticipated feelings." - K. Lynn, Goodreads

"Delicious, Dark, Devious... Charmaine Pauls does it again!!! If you are a fan of Dark Romances, then you are in for a wild ride. You will be intrigued to understand what motivates the anti-hero Maxime and feel deeply for the innocent, naive and brave heroine Zoe. It is such a well crafted story that will pull you in and not let go until the very end. The psychological manipulation is done with such finesse, something that Charmaine Pauls excels at, with plenty of dark elements to keep you on your toes." - D K, Goodreads

"As always, Charmaine Paul's writing creates intrigue, urgency and completely envelops my mind when I'm reading her novels." - Becky, Goodreads

"Explosive and unpredictable with intriguing and complex characters." - Sheena, Goodreads

"Maxime Belshaw is everything..." - Book Loving Fairy-Blog

"Just Wow Fabulous Crazy good." - Jamillah Smith, Goodreads

Una de mis trilogías favoritas en dark romance
5 out of 5 stars
Una de mis trilogías favoritas en dark romance
Está trilogía me encanta y volverla a releer me ha hecho volver a amar a los personajes. Sobre todo a Zoe. Amo la evolución de su personaje y como se fue adaptando emocionalmente. Y bueno que decir de Maxine, uno de los personajes con una de las brújulas morales más estropeadas que me ha tocado leer. En verdad, la historia es bastante redonda; pero sobre todo amo que la autora le haya dado consecuencia a sus protagonistas, no se siente nada forzado sino que todo tiene bastante lógica. Maxime termina manteniendo su esencia hasta el final y Zoe termina evolucionando en consecuencia a todo lo que le hicieron pasar las circunstancias y sobre todo él.

    Ms. Pauls certainly knows her way around a dark romance! The story of Maxime and Zoe is difficult, beautiful, hurtful, intense, and so many more feels!!! There were parts of the story I could hardly read and other parts that I had to read again and again! Words sometimes fail me to be able express the feelings in this book. Suffice to say it held my interest. I could hardly put it down. This will definitely be kept in my library!

    I enjoyed reading the ups and downs of the relationship with Maxime and Zoe in this trilogy. I’m not always a fan of trilogies but I’ve read books by this author before so I knew this trilogy would be good. This trilogy kept my attention with the interesting plot, passion, betrayal, and heartbreak it had. It did contain a few minor typos but not enough to interrupt the flow of the book or influence my rating. I look forward to reading more by this author in the future.

    Loved this series. It was a little confusing because I read what I thought was the prequel. It was a standalone book tied to the “Diamonds Trilogy”. Unfortunately, it ruined a couple of surprises for me, but it covered a lot of material. I don’t know what the correct reading order is, but....it was a terrific series. Lots of character flaws and horrible choices, but I loved Zoe and Max and Damien and Lina. Shed several tears reading the Trilogy.

    I love the authors ability to place me in the story. It is a great escape from my reality. I loved the twists and turns throughout the story, however I feel the ending was a bit rushed. Looking to read more of her work. There should be a series set up of the diamond and stolen books as they are related characters. I am a sucker for returning characters!

    OMG how have not known this author? I am totally gripped absolutely loved Maxime and Zoe and their story it is literally unputdowable I have got nothing done all weekend as I am so hooked on their story. These books are not for the faint hearted, they are not wish washy romance they are tough, alpha males, raunchy sex scenes that are so hot they burn the pages! Thank you Charmaine for another fantastic read think this is my favourite xx
