I love it when a sequel is just as good or even better than the first. After the exciting end of the first book I just had to jump into the second book and I’m really happy to say that I love it more than the first. the characters have definitely grown from the first book and their relationship is soooooo complicated but in a good way. Well done Dakota!!! The narrator has grown on me from the first.

I’m so glad I’ve found this author and series. Seriously addictive. I want to know how the story will continue. Just a great book made that much richer through excellent narration. Loved it.

Sometimes there’s series where you just can’t fully get into book 1, but book 2 blows you out of the water. This is the case for me with Stepping Stone, book 2 in the Stone series.
We pick up where Set In Stone left off, with Krys and Alex exploring how much of themselves they want to give to the other, while staying within the bounds of their “agreement.” I liked the push and pull that each MC went through to determine what they were feeling and determining how to express that to the other.
We get to hear how the relationship, as well as Alex and Krys, grow; from opening oneself up, to new roles, we see the strength of each character, as well as their weaknesses and their drive to overcome them. The sexual aspect in this book is more romantic than in the first book, while not losing the BDSM.
I also enjoyed getting to know more of the side characters, such as Hale and Justine.
Alex and Krys are tested as they haven’t been before. Will they come out hard as stone or crumble under the pressure?
I continue to enjoy Lacy Laurel and Jeffrey Kafer as the narrators for this series. I thought both did a great job.

The scenes are never dull or boring with Krystina and Alexander! I find myself hoping the story hurries up to the next little steamy nugget! Krystina is trying to stay independent and show she doesn’t need anything, but I think everyone needs to be able to have someone to lean on…and, let’s face it, it doesn’t hurt that it happens to be a billionaire! Krystina is my favorite persona by far in this genre, granted there are many to explore, but right now she is at the top of my list! The story was good overall, but I feel like the pace of this book was way faster than the previous one, and I found myself trying to not think about how fast it was and just enjoy the story. Again the narrators are a bit monotoned and put inflections/stresses on words or sentences that don’t need it, but I was better prepared for that this time. Otherwise, this book was a great “Stepping Stone” away from reality for a little bit!

Stepping Stone is the second book in the Stone Series: A Billionaire Romance by Dakota Willink. I have to say I think this book was even better than the first. The character growth and the continuing story had me on my listening late into the night. You really need to read this series in order to get the full effect. Krystine and Alexander continue to feel out their relationship. They have amazing chemistry and witty dialogue. I’m really looking forward to listening to the next book in the series.
This book was narrated by Lacy Laurel and Jeffrey Kafer, same as the first book. They do a wonderful job with the narration, bringing the characters to life. The voices are smooth and easy to listen to.

This is a great continuation of this series no doubt. The love and passion between Alexander and Krystina is undeniable. Alexander gives into Krystina more and takes the next step into who his family is and why he is what he is today. I love getting to know the characters even more as the story continues. I really enjoyed the story and looking forward to the next audiobook

Stepping Stone Audio Book by Dakota Willink is he second book the Stone Series. This is a direct continuation from book one so I would recommend listening to them in order. I thought this book was definitely better than the first – it felt like there a bit more to the story and I felt the connection to the characters a little more. Although I still found them to be flawed I could relate to them better and understood a little more why they acted in certain ways.
The author really did get a good balance in the story. I liked that it focused more on character development this time round and I though it made the pace of the book just right.
The narrators have done a good job of becoming the characters they were reading about. You could feel the switch between the two and they blended well. This is a good series and one that I have enjoyed.

This is the second book in The Stone Series. This an audio book and is just under 8 hours listening time. This story continues with Alexander and Kyrstina. Krystina has issues from a past experience and Alexander is harboring secrets. He knows that if he wants to win her back, he is going to have to tell her everything about his past. The sizzle between these two is something that cannot be ignored. I simply cannot wait for the third book!

This is the second book/audio in this series. I loved listening to this audiobook. It certainly made my ride to work interesting. I highly suggest listening to the first audio before this one to help your enjoyment of this series. I enjoyed the narrator’s voice and how they were able to bring the story to life. It is a voice that is easy, fun and entertaining to listen to. I am so happy I picked up the second audio in this series. This is a story Krystina and Alexander’s story continues in this audio. The growth and chemistry is off the charts. They truly are great characters that I fell in love with and they just make the story for me. I highly recommend this audio and this author. You won’t regret picking it for sure. Loved it!

The story of Krystina and Alexander continues in Stepping Stone, book two of The Stone Series.
Krystina Cole is flawed and damaged from a traumatic experience. A relationship with Alexander Stone will never work. She knows that her capacity for love is limited, and that only she alone can repair the pieces of her shattered heart. But Alexander is everywhere she turns. In her mind. In her heart. And in her soul. She cannot deny him. He is her addiction, and she is unable to stay away.
Alexander Stone has accepted the inevitable. If he wants to hold on to Krystina, he must bare all and release the secrets in his past. There were risks, but she is worth it. No woman has ever affected him the way that she did. She is the sunshine in his darkness. The lightning to his thunder. She is his angel.
Bound by their passion to be together, Alexander and Krystina fight to let go of their pasts. Together, they embark on journey of self-exploration, relying on trust to be their ultimate bond. Falling completely into one another, there finally seems to be a beacon of hope for their future. But as they test their boundaries of desire, fate takes an unexpected turn, threatening their only chance of survival….
