She finds herself drawn to him, in way she has never felt before. Convinced he is out of her league she tries to forget him. However Nathan has ideas of his own planned for the Burlesque starlet.
Olivia soon learns that her new life is not all rhinestones and sparkle. Nathan has skeletons in his closet; a dark past that threatens any future they may have together.

REVIEW
Liv moves to Chicago hoping to find more job opportunities after finishing college. For the mean time, she is planning to work doing burlesque as she did to get through college in Arizona. Burlesque allows Liv to be Miss Honey Glaze, she is sexy and confident. Normally that side of Liv is not shown when out talking to people, but with Nathan Stone Liv cannot help but brace Honey.
Nathan Stone is Mr Hot!! He is mysterious and vague, but we can tell he is interested in Honey. For Honey, Stone is loke no other guy she has been around. She can never get her words right around him.
"I'm staring at him like some crazy person right now, so i quickly say " No you're the only one I got wet tonight." Shit! I know what I said the minute it left my mouth! Omg! I stutter trying to recover the akward moment. "I mean you got me wet tonight too." Fuck. Why is my brain not woking before shit is leaving my mouth. That's so much worse, what the hell Olivia! I can feel embarrassment climb across my face."
What makes it all worse is Stone knows the affect he has on her. He is not completely full of himself though, he shows qenuine concern when it comes to Liv.
Unfortunately, even though they are attracted to each other something is holding them back. Liv can tell he is being vague and distant, but his closeness at times also confuses the hell out of her. Can Liv break through this tangled web Stone has surrounding him? Will his past be too much for either of them? Hopefully Liv can embrace Honey enough to have the strength this relationship could take!
Made From Greater Stone is written from Olivia's point of view. The characters are at time hilarious and at others confusing, but they are still very real. Liv experiences a ton of emotions and drags us along with her. This story drew me right and and I could not get enough. Hopefully, you will enjoy it as much as I did.

AUTHOR BIO
I spent a great deal of time as a youngster with my head in a book: from Nancy Drew to Enid Blyton’s Secret Seven; I love that imagination knows no boundaries when it comes to fiction! You can travel the universe, solve a crime and fall in love all whilst curled up at home safely on your sofa.
I been passionate about Burlesque and the traditions associated with the scene for over six years now; travelling the country to watch a variety of shows. This isn’t a typical night out – The audience form part of the attraction; you must whoop, cheer and of course dress to impress. love affair with books continued and I later studied English literature leaving Manchester Metropolitan University in 2002 with a BA Hons Degree in English and Sociology.
I am not a performer although my creativity has meant that I have turned my hand to many things during my burly journey including designing stage attire such as beautiful Pasties and Merkins, millinery, photography and even organising my own events.
I am so grateful to have met so many wonderful friends along the way; each being a tad eccentric, hugely creative , very talented and equally as obsessive about the art of Burlesque as I am. Burlesque is gloriously consuming.
I live in Staffordshire, England with my fiancé Lee and our two Siamese Cats. We are due to be married in Autumn 2013; so as you can imagine I have a busy year ahead!
