The Story of Us Trilogy was a series I devoured. Below is my individual review of each book. As a whole, the story was original and fascinating. The addition of song references and Shakespearean quotes added beauty and depth to the story.
TouchStone For Play
Steaming hot, romantic, a fantasy of a love story that is sure to sweep you away. That is the best way I can describe Sydney Jamesson’s, TouchStone For Play, the first book in The Story of Us Trilogy.
What is it that brings two souls together so immediately? Love at first sight? Chemistry? A recognition of belonging? Maybe all of those factors. But love and life never is without complications. Both Elizabeth and Ayden must come to terms with their own darkness and pasts they’d like to forget. The push and pull of this relationship is an interesting one, yet one thing is crystal clear – their love is reciprocal, obsessive, permanent.
In contrast to the beautiful and sensually provocative chapters between the lovers are the ones from Dan’s point of view—sexually twisted, dirty, perverted and violent. Tension builds as he schemes to abduct Elizabeth as he had once before, this time hoping to take it to the next level and make her his sexual prisoner.
TouchStone For Play leaves the reader with a bit of a cliffhanger and the foreboding assumption of what will soon come to pass. I immediately started book two: TouchStone For Giving, and you will want to as well. Don’t pass up this beautifully written story. Especially if you have a passion for music and poetry.
TouchStone For Giving
Book Two in The Story of Us: TouchStone For Giving by Sydney Jamesson did not begin the way I had expected. TouchStone For Play ended with an edge-of-your-seat cliffhanger, one where you were certain of what would happen on the first page of the next book. This was just the beginning of the unpredictability of this story. Secrets and mysteries were spoon-fed in tiny increments, not only to the reader but also to Beth, the female main character.
I will admit, that although I gave the first book a five-star review, I had some plot concerns. It seemed to me that Ayden, a womanizing man, became overly obsessed and in love with Beth immediately. I overlooked this and let myself get swept away with the fantasy and romance of it all. However, it was because of the subtle hints the author wove into the story that assured me there was much to learn which, I knew, would justify the suddenness of the romance.
Slowly, the answers to my questions were satisfied. This story has romance, intrigue, mystery, suspense, and so many tense and chilling moments. The sick obsession Dan, the antagonist, has for Beth is a disturbing parallel for the beauty of Ayden’s pure love for her.
Again, at the end of this book, there are unanswered questions. The author craftily drops hints that can easily be overlooked. I can’t wait to find out what happens in TouchStone For ever and to see how deep and far back Ayden and Beth’s connection goes.
TouchStone For Ever
TouchStone For Ever, Sydney Jamesson’s conclusion to The Story of Us Trilogy is a highly emotional ride with unpredictable twists and turns. It would seem that this book falls into a different genre than the other two books, as it introduces otherworldly elements that were undetected before. Or so it seemed. There were subtle hints throughout the series that something unusual and unique was driving the fate of these soulmates.
This is a beautiful story that touches every emotion—love, pain, loss, fear, confusion, sacrifice, friendship, abandonment, and euphoria.
TouchStone For Ever is a seductively erotic take on It’s a Wonderful Life crossed with The Wizard of Oz and a few other fairytales mixed in for good measure.
I look forward to reading more from this author. She is a master at weaving an intricate and addicting tale.
I Loved the characters!! Great book!!!
couldn’t put it down, I loved it!!!!
Loved it. Have already read twice
This book was going good until the end when it turned into a paranormal romance.
I was very disappointed with this series. Book 1 I was lost at first, so that didn’t start me off well. Second book was a little better. I just wish that Ayden’s thoughts were told as well. Book 3 was the worst. I was so lost the first 3 chapters I had to reread and I hate that. I am not sure if I want to try the Blue Series or not. This series was a bad disappointment to me.
