About this ebook

“She’s 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

My love is wasted like gemstones in the dust, walked over by an oblivious shoe. It takes many suffering years and layers of mountains to squeeze carbon into a precious stone. Now that I'm polished and hard like a diamond, he doesn't get to kick me back into the dirt.

Men like him don't love women like me.

They don't love.

Period.

But he made me.

He'll live with me.

Because diamonds are forever.

Ratings and reviews

It seems the Grinch (I mean Maxime) can grow a heart. All this time Charmaine has benn telling us it wasn't possible. Diamonds are Forever has a nice family reunion. For those that loved Beauty in the Broken, enjoy the time with Damian and Lina. For those that don't know their story, I recommend reading it next. Diamonds are Forever is the end of Maxime and Zoe's story but it's quite the ending. Never one to let things chill, Charmaine Pauls puts readers, Zoe, and Maxime through a brutal obstacle course of emotions, lies, and consequences. Diamonds are Forever, it's true, but that doesn't mean you can keep them. Sometimes when you hold on too tight... No worries, Mrs. Pauls is not about to let you down. No way. Everything you thought you wanted, everything you needed it will all come to be.

You are an evil enchantress Pauls - How you somehow had me rooting for Maxime and twisted my mind into believing sweet Zoey was too blame for his pain was simply diabolical! This is the conclusion of Maxime and Zoey's journey. It was seriously twisted. I went in hoping for that golden HEA for Zoey. Truly not caring if Maxime's plane went down or not - only to find myself on the fence. My feelings were a bit convoluted. WTH? I think they both crossed lines that should never be crossed. Now that the walls are collapsing around them and their world is being reshaped they are forced to bend if they want to survive. They can't go back. They can't walk away. Adapt or die Maxime your poor soul - I actually felt sorry for him as his world slowly slipped from his grasp No, it didn't right his wrongs but even villains have hearts (don't try to convince them of that truth though) Zoey - What the heck? I found myself upset with your decisions numerous times. Maxime was the catalyst, sure, but you are choosing to harden, to change, to match his emptiness Don't do this The copy I read was comp but my feelings? All mine!

Forever love this series! 4 stars This is the third and final book, so you must read books one and two first. At the beginning of this book, my heart broke for Zoe. It was nice to see Maxime in emotional pain; he deserved it and that is all I will say! Max was actually in emotional pain, but can he feel other emotions like love? Zoe started to change, but was it for better or worse? At a certain point in the book, the pace slowed down, but I cared so much about Zoe, Max and their story that I stayed riveted to the pages. Zoe and Max started unconventionally to say the least, but their relationship can’t be categorized or labelled. If you want an unconventional love story and riveting storytelling, then read this series because I will forever love this trilogy! I received an advanced copy of this ebook for my honest review that I am voluntarily leaving.
