Kimberly and her 6’2”, 250lb. younger brother Leroy are forced to live in a home that is headed by an uncle who is both abusive and criminal minded. She is the sensitive type and easily controlled by manipulation. Her Uncle’s greed leads Kim down a dangerous path of deception and immoral behavior. His plan is to get his hands on her deceased, sixty-eight year old husband’s fortune by any means necessary.
Jaelen is a large, angry and sexually restricted young man. He is mad at the world, but mostly he is mad at his millionaire father who is controlling every aspect of his life. Only his childhood friend Onyx can bring a smile to Jaelen’s face. Onyx is small woman, but she is as hard-hitting as a man and she proves it every day by running a security/detective agency."
Kim and Jaelen’s paths meet when the love of money overrules all sense of decency and respect for the law. Will a forced sexual encounter between them make Kim and Jaelen reluctant parents?
My experience reading “Stealing Innocence I” was like sitting in a movie theater watching an academy award winning film! I was engaged right from the start of the book to the very end. The way Sylvia Hubbard revealed each character’s part in the story was convincing and absorbing. She has a way of drawing the reader into the story, so that starting each new chapter feels like a reward in itself.
I highly recommend this book and feel confident that the other two books in the series “Stealing Innocence II: The Ravishment” and “Stealing Innocence III: Lethal Heart” are as gripping as this first book in the sequence.
