ABOUT THE BOOK
A DARK 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.
* Diamonds are Forever is Book 3 of the Diamonds are Forever trilogy and concludes the story. Diamonds in the Dust (Book 1) and Diamonds in the Rough (Book 2) must be read first to follow the story.
REVIEW
In Diamonds are Forever, we find the conclusion of the Diamond Magnat series by Charmaine Pauls. Zoe makes it clear to Maxime she will not continue their relationship as it was at the end of the last book. Although Max takes a step in the right direction to winning her back, his actions seem to provoke a change in Zoe, perhaps one not for the better.
Zoe and Maxime's journey has been a long and complicated one. The couple had to decide whether a compromise in expectations is worth making their relationship work. One gives in, the other stands firm. It is both refreshing and frustrating, hoping they will conclude that persevering is worth it to stay together. At one point, I was pretty nervous for Zoe. When she gave in to cynicism, it briefly felt like it would kill her compassion. Like a bit of role reversal with Maxime.
The couple eventually meets in the middle, which I believe is the point. Despite all the manipulations, Zoe and Maxime deserve to find happiness in each other. They make each other better, and emotionally even each other out. Diamonds are Forever is a satisfying ending to their tale.
