Emotional & Spicy!

Reviewed in the United States on August 24, 2022

Liv Arnold gave me all the feels and all the spice with Stepping Stone and I loved every minute of it!

Jenna and Marco's relationship is teetering on the edge when the book starts and it is heartbreaking. Marco is suffering from army related PTSD and Jenna is struggling to juggle work and being a single mom.

I love that Liv explored Jenna's bisexuality in this book. This is such a refreshing topic and I love that it was included. Jenna and Claudine together were intense and I definitely could've read more about them. I felt like the office drama kind of overshadowed their relationship.

While Jenna and Claudine were intense, Jenna and Marco are endgame. Their love and connection is all consuming and their physical connection was SO HOT. The spicy scenes left me blushing at every page turn.

Overall, this is a complex story with a lot of hot topics and a great second chance romance!

*Technically, this is the second book in a series, but it acts as a standalone and that is how I read it.

Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2022

Stepping Stone is the second book in Liv Arnold’s Invested in You series. It’s a second chance love story about Jenna Kravitz and her husband Marco from whom she’s been separated for a year.

Marco was overseas when he allowed his friends to drag him to what he thought was a bar. It turned out to be a brothel, and as soon as Marco realized, he left. But just entering was enough for Jenna to feel betrayed. It’s a year later, and they’re starting to get close again, but Jenna wants a no-strings relationship. Around the same time, Jenna meets Claudine, a woman to whom she’s wildly attracted and realizes she has a different sexual identity than she previously thought. At Jenna’s firm, the software program she developed is getting hacked and causing her company to lose money. Is Claudine the culprit? Is Marco her destiny?

This book, for me, was a little all over the place. The narrative is good, I just feel like there’s too much going on - the separation, Marco’s PTSD, the purse snatcher, the corporate espionage. I think there should have been more talks and moments between Jenna and Marco. The main thing I liked, what stood out to me, is the character of Jenna. She really becomes her own person, makes self-discoveries, and grows stronger. The characters spend a lot of time thinking, and there’s a lot of telling rather than showing. The world building is good, though, and I’m looking forward to reading more books in this series. I’m kind of hoping Claudine gets her own book.

If you like your romance with a little intrigue, character growth, and some funny moments, then this book is for you. Let me know if you read - I’d love to discuss!

This is the second book in this series, and this is Marco and Jenna’s journey. Marco returned from Afghanistan suffering from PTSD, and he lost Jenna with his mistakes, but he is determined to get her back in his life and works hard to achieve it. Jenna always believed that she and Marco were soulmates and meant to get old together, but life has a way of throwing curveballs, yet she still craves her ex-husband, and the life they had together. This is a well written story which is fun, sweet, and intriguing, with emotions, 2nd chances, and love, which lead to an entertaining and swoony page turner. I look forward to reading more from this talented author whose work I highly recommend.

Reviewed in the United States on September 13, 2022

This is a fast paced quick read revolving around Marco and Jenna and their marriage. What I liked about this book is how realistic their marriage felt to me. This isn’t all rainbows and sunshines. This is about a couple who felt like they were losing each other coming back together.

Marco is struggling with himself and his mental health, particularly PTSD while Jenna is finding herself in a way she didn’t expect.

This book touches on real life struggles and the character development that went along side it was very realistic.

I very much enjoyed this book and although at times I wished for more background on Marcos situation I was still able to enjoy and immerse myself in this book.

If you’re looking for a fast paced, steamy, realistic read with real characters than I highly recommend this book by Liv.

Didn't love it, didn't hate it

Reviewed in the United States on July 13, 2022

This started out pretty strong, and I was quickly immersed into the story. But then the colleague "whipping up her innermost fantasies", to quote the synopsis, was introduced, and was a bit of a surprise to me, and someone I never really warmed up to. The plot with the computer program Jenna created being hacked and causing her company to lose money, and Jenna trying to figure out who was responsible while worrying about losing her job, was interesting, but the romance at times seemed to take a backseat to the mystery, which I was not expecting.

The writing is not bad, and there was a very funny scene with a sex toy gone wrong. There were also a lot of similes, and some were a bit out there, such as "He hovered around her like a ghost figuring out how to haunt her" and "she guarded herself like a curtain blocking out the sun's glare". Clever, but almost too much.

loveable characters, great steam, real-life problems

Reviewed in the United States on August 1, 2022

This is the first book I’ve read by Liv Arnold, and I really enjoyed it! The story is fast-paced and well thought out. The characters are loveable – the type you want to be friends with. The story focuses on real-life problems, such as PTSD. Not every relationship is perfect, and this depicts that well. Just because two people love each other doesn’t mean they don’t have struggles in their relationships. Many times, it’s the dedication two people have to each other and their willingness to work to fix things. There’s tension, heat, and steam. The plot, the characters, and the world are done so well. It sucks you in and before you know it the story is over, and you just want more. I recommend this if you’re looking for a sweet romance with real-life struggles but a HEA this is a great book for you.

Second chance

Jenna and Marco have been separated for a year when they decide to entire a friends with benefits relationship. They have rules in place to protect their hearts.
I felt a lot of compassion for Marco. I didn’t feel like he received the support he needed from Jenna. He recognized that the methods he was using to calm his PTSD were self destructive and was willing to seek help.
My feelings towards Jenna are conflicting because I admired her ability to juggle a stressful career, single motherhood, being health conscious and exploring her sexuality. She is very whity. But, I didn’t love how she initially treated Marco.
Their chemistry together was hot. You could tell Marco was making a huge effort to be the man she needed. Their happily ever after was perfect
This book has multiple storylines happening simultaneously. It’s a lot to keep track of. It is written in third person.

I never read a romance novel like this one

Reviewed in Canada on November 7, 2022

Romance rollercoaster? Author Liv Arnold did the unexpected sharing a story of Marco and Jenny, two married lovers who navigated the horror of a Veteran's PTSD in and out of the bedroom.

A story of tolerance, anger, forgiveness and betrayal, both characters face their inner demons through a marriage breakdown for the wrong reasons. Each chapter reveals a twist in the plot and comes full circle to a defining moment.

When I thought it was safe to breathe again, I took another gasp as the plot thickened and ended up leaving me caught off guard. I lived vicariously through this book in my own imagination...or was it real. I'm a guy. This was about real life and the things we only talk about in the bedroom yet need to talk about in the open.
