*This book contains content intended for mature readers*
Isabella
After a humiliating breakup, I’m not afraid to admit my personal life has taken one hell of a hit. I’ve allowed myself time to lick my wounds and I’m not only confident my nights alone on the couch are numbered, I’ve got a solid plan for the first time in months.
Focus on work, don’t worry about the rest.
The last thing I need in my life right now is another complication.
I’ve convinced myself it’s a flawless plan.
I just have to stay off Adam Avery’s radar and I’ll be fine.
Now that I’ve met him, I’m not sure I want to be anywhere else.
Adam
I’ve been my father’s best kept dirty secret for more than three decades.
When my uncle, the CEO of Avery Finance, is forced into early retirement, he appoints me as his unlikely successor and the media goes into a frenzy.
For an admitted recluse, it’s definitely a challenge, but I’ve never shied away from those before.
I just need to stay focused, in control and avoid distraction.
Unfortunately, Isabella Baxter might be the one distraction I can’t resist.
Redemption is a multi-pov spin-off from The Promise Series previously published in The Vault: A Sinfully Sexy Collection.
Kate Benson was raised in Texas and currently resides in central Florida with her husband and their growing army of fur minions.
She learned to read at the age of four and has been hooked ever since. She credits her passion for literature to her mother, her love of story-telling to her father and her unwavering faith in happily-ever-after’s to her husband, Sean.
Some of her favorite things include rainy days, loud music, superhero movies, hot tea and of course, lazy afternoons with a great book.
To find out more about Kate, her work or to just say hello, she loves hearing from her readers and can be found on social media.

Reviews of Book 51 - 60 in order of release date

Willful (Havenwood Falls High #18)Willful by Liz Ferry
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was a pretty easy read, as far as suspense there was some but not tons. I loved Celeste's journey into coming into her own and what that all meant for her.

Savage Salvation (Havenwood Falls Sin & Silk #6)Savage Salvation by Kristie Cook
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Savage! I feel like I have said this about Monte, but I feel like I waited forever for Savage. These boys are something else! Liam is next I hope ;)

Rey is something special. She has spent so long being uneducated about her species, by no fault of hers. She has been hiding for so long it's hard to change that. All she wants to do is be free and independent. The struggle is real.

Addicted to You (Havenwood Falls #20)Addicted to You by Belinda Boring
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I love Sedona! We got the beginning of her story in Nowhere to Hide. This one dug deeper into her and less to do with Micah and Holly. Family drama at it's finest, then the suspense at the end. AAAHHH

Kiss the Ashes (Legends of Havenwood Falls #10)Kiss the Ashes by Desiree Lafawn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

River and Jonas, what can we say? There was so much back story in here. We got to see how River found her way to Havenwood Falls, we also get to know the Sisters McNee a little better. I really enjoyed this. The ending was shocking, I did not see that one coming!

Dark Seduction (Havenwood Falls Sin & Silk #7)Dark Seduction by Michele G. Miller
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

~3.5 stars~

This wasn't bad, but it wasn't great either. With all the mentions of The Collector: Awakening: I really wish I would have read it first. It wasn't a deal breaker but it left me with more questions. I will be going back to read it, for sure.

This book was lacking something, I am not sure what but my interest wasn't there until the end. The ending was perfect and I can't wait to find out more!

Affliction Mine (Havenwood Falls #21)Affliction Mine by C.J. Pinard
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Learning more about the Kanes was so much fun! Karson had so many deep rooted issues to overcome. Running is never the answer. Scottlin was hard not to love also. She was so real! Love them. I hope to read more from this author!

Soul Laid Bare (Havenwood Falls Sin & Silk #8)Soul Laid Bare by J.D. Nelson
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

O.M.G!

More of Cam and Mavis. Not to mention Penelope and Rayonus. I don't even know what to say. I had kind of forgotten about the ending of Plans Laid Bare so this was a pleasant surprise. Not only was this funny, it was hot, steamy, and so freaking suspenseful! The ending, holy crap!

The Ward & the Wanderers (Havenwood Falls #22)The Ward & the Wanderers by T.V. Hahn
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I fell in love with Tahini in The Winged & the Wicked:, and boy oh boy did she kick butt in this one! She is something fierce when it comes to friends and family. We meet new people and learn more about the old. Especially Gruff. I was not expecting that! I highly recommend this book, heck the whole series!

Hidden Truths (Legends of Havenwood Falls #11)Hidden Truths by Colleen Nye
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

Love, love, love! I don't even know where to start.
This is the first novella in the Legends series that I have read, that being said it didn't really feel like it was based in the 1920's or whatever it was, it could have worked for any time frame. That did not take away from the story though. I also really enjoyed that this was truly a stand alone, as far as I know there wasn't characters from other Legends stories in it that made us feel like we were missing something. If they were mentioned it was briefly and lets us want for their own story.

Kaori is special, sometimes we don't know what we are capable of, especially when we don't push ourselves. Theo and Heather were an added bonus! I hope we get Heather's story! Oh and maybe Emiko's :D

Title & Excerpt Reveal ~ When Wishes Bleed by Casey L. Bond

Title: When Wishes Bleed
Author: Casey L. Bond
Genre: YA Fantasy
Editor: Stacy Sanford/ The Girl with the Red Pen
Cover Designer: Melissa Stevens/ The Illustrated Author Design Services
Publication Date: November 1st, 2019
Hosted by: Lady Amber’s PR
Blurb: One Prince. One Witch. One Fate.
The upheaval in my life began the moment a prince stumbled into my house and asked me to read his fortune. Any other night, I might have made an excuse to get him to leave, but this was no normal visit. My fingers prickled to touch him. So, I granted his request by handing him a single wishbone. When he snapped it, the wish … bled.
Hearing me suck in a shocked breath, he asked what it meant. Such an ominous omen could only mean one thing: his death was imminent. Fate revealed that he wouldn’t die of natural causes. Someone wanted him dead. Stunned by the revelation, the man I now knew as Prince Tauren disappeared into a night I feared he wouldn’t survive. The following day, I received an invitation to the castle. While it seemed the prince believed I could intervene and uncover who was plotting his death, his motives didn’t stop there. I was being summoned to join twelve other women in vying for the opportunity to be his wife and future queen.
Going could mean jeopardizing my plans to reclaim my heritage and resurrect the House of Fate. But staying would guarantee Tauren’s death, and the blood of his wish would be on my hands.

 â€œTea, wax, or bones?” I asked, waiting for the answer I already knew she’d give. The girl chewed on her bottom lip while considering the three options. The smattering of freckles across her nose and cheeks made her appear younger than she was, but her indecision was what truly showed her immaturity. She knew what I could read before stepping inside. She should’ve come inside knowing her choice.  
The auburn hue of her hair was the same hue of the heap of loose tea leaves lying on the counter. Across the room, the kettle leaked steam. Loose, languid tendrils curled and entwined with one another. I could get lost in their silken dance if I stared long enough, so I snapped my eyes back to her to refocus. 
The water wasn’t heating for her. It warmed for the boy in the woods. He stood behind my cabin, clinging to the rough bark of a tree, desperately trying to talk himself into knocking on my door and asking me to read his fate, and berating himself for considering leaving before gathering it. 
Eventually, he would garner enough gumption to approach and ask me for the favor he coveted, but not before witnessing the girl’s hasty exit. He would emerge from the woods as she left through the back door, because it would guarantee that his reputation would be kept safe. The girl would guard his secret so that he wouldn’t expose hers. And he would choose a tea leaf reading because he feared the color of candle that might choose him and that the bones might tell him something he wasn’t prepared to hear; guide him where he was yet afraid to step.
He was a boy of calculated risks, who wrestled with intense self-doubt. A boy who would rather cling to a tree than let go. 
The girl inched farther into the room as if she was easing into a lake of cold water. There wasn’t much to see in the small, open space. A couch to her left. A simple, square table and chairs, a few cabinets, countertops littered with precious stones and potted herbs, the hearth with its flickering fire, and the thicker slivers of steam pouring from the kettle.
Her pale, amber eyes caught on the casting cloth stretched over the table’s top. She noticed the wishbones piled high in a silver bowl, desperately wishing she weren’t so weak. I couldn’t hear her words in my head, but followed the way her delicate features revealed a swell of emotions that built and crashed over her countenance. 
“Fate doesn’t favor the weak,” I warned the girl as she shifted her weight back and forth, worrying her fingers. Her eyes met mine. In their depths swam both guilt and confusion. I elaborated for her. “You shouldn’t fear the bones. They can reveal things the wax and leaves cannot.”
She was a girl who wouldn’t take advice even when it was in her best interest, a girl who gave fear dominion over her decisions. 
Her eyes flicked to a nearby shelf and the colorless candles it held. She refused to look away from the pale tapers, afraid the bones would call out to her again. They always did. 
“I choose wax, please,” she said, her voice quivering. The little mouse was terrified, not of the tea or wax, or even the bones… but of me. 
I gave her a smile to put her at ease, all too aware that it might do the opposite, and moved to the shelf, gathering the mound of slender tapers and bringing them over to the table. “Would you care to remove the cloth?” 
She hesitated, but gently pinched the corners of the dark, silken square and pulled it from the wooden surface. I lay the tapers down, steadying them so none rolled off, then took the cloth from her. During the exchange, the tremble in her fingers rippled through the fabric into mine. 
Her eyes flicked to the plate of wishbones again, then back to me. I wouldn’t offer them to her again. She had made her choice, and my time was as valuable as my reading. I wouldn’t waste it on indecision or fear.
I folded the dark casting cloth, tucked it into the wide pocket of my dress, and removed the bowl of bones from her sight. Tension oozed out of the girl’s muscles as soon as they were gone. I scooped a basket of mismatched candleholders from the shelves, handing it to her. “Place a taper in each and arrange them in a circle.”
She shifted her weight from her left foot to her right, then back again. “Which do I start with? They all look the same.”
“You’ll find they don’t feel the same. Hold each and place it where you feel it belongs. The pattern is yours to design.”
Her lips pinched together.
“Think about a question to which you’d like to know the answer. Focus on it and the feel of the taper in your hand, then place it. If you allow it, the wax will show you the answer in the pattern you make. Let me know when you’re satisfied with the circle. The colors will reveal themselves, and I will decipher them for you.” 
She swallowed thickly and then picked up a taper, closing her fist around it and shutting her eyes for a brief moment before popping them open. She placed the first taper in the candleholder located at the twelve o’clock position. Slowly, she formed a circle. She couldn’t see past the opaque wax to the color lying beneath, but I knew each one by heart. Her arrangement surprised me. It contained jarring combinations of yellow and black, violet and green, orange and white. When she’d completed the circle, she glanced up expectantly. 
“You’re satisfied?” I asked. 
She looked over the circle she made and nodded. “This feels right.”
“I didn’t expect this from you,” I revealed, waving my hands over the sacred circle. The tapers lifted from their holders and began to spin around in the air. Their true colors absorbed into the white wax from the tip of each taper to its base. I expected to read her pattern, but again, she surprised me. Or rather, her fortune did. One candle in particular chose her, which was a rare gift. 
Her eyes struggled to keep up as the tapers slowed, and she watched warily as a single candle left its position in the wheel and drifted into the center. The wax was the color of eggplant, or a deep and long-lasting bruise – an unfortunate fortune for any witch to garner, but a wise witch would heed the warning and might be able to change her fate…
“What does it mean?”
“It’s a warning.”
She gulped. 
“Foresight is a gift of Fate. If you heed his warning, you can make choices to avoid a catastrophe.”
Her lips barely moved, but I saw them form a soundless ‘catastrophe’.
“What will happen to me?” she asked.
I whispered an incantation. Flame seared its wick, growing tall and flickering. Dark smoke drafted toward the ceiling. She watched the flame, the element and source of her power. The reflection of fire shone in her eyes. “Extinguish it,” I said softly. 
She closed her eyes and the flame died instantly.
“Stay away from the border.”
“For how long?”
I quirked a brow. She shouldn’t be going there unaccompanied, anyway. “Why are you leaving without permission?”
The girl swallowed. 
Gripping the taper, I read the lingering breath she’d blown onto the wick. “A boy in Twelve? You’ve been sneaking across for months…”
Her eyes widened. “Please, don’t tell the Priestess. I’ll be banished from the House.”
“The young man’s heart is as black as his words are sweet. He’s luring you into a web of lies. You should never see him again.”
Her lip began to quiver. 
Oh, no. I could already feel the punch of emotions roiling through her. There was nothing I could do to stop a feeling as strong as love, but if I could get through to her, make her see that it was a love that had never been reciprocated… “Do you love him?”
“Yes,” she croaked. 
“He does not love you.” A fat tear fell onto her cheek. She looked down at her shoes. Ashamed. “Deep down, you already know this.”
A second tear fell from her eye. This one splashed onto the tip of her leather boot. 
“The occasional tryst might be overlooked, but you know that to be with anyone outside The Gallows means that you can never return. Without your House, your power would dwindle. Do you wish to lose your flame?”
She shook her head. She had to know that whatever fling she’d been having with the boy couldn’t last, but forbidden fruit was a temptation some couldn’t force themselves to turn away from. 
I softened my voice, hoping she could see reason. “What about your life? Do you wish to have it snuffed out?”
The girl began to cry in earnest. She knew I couldn’t and wouldn’t lie to her, but the feelings she harbored for the malicious young man were as strong as his will to break her. 
“I can see his will,” I revealed, “and its only purpose is to hurt you.” The truth often stung. 
Her eyes snapped to mine. “He wouldn’t do that.”
“If you see him again, you will die by his hand.”
She shook her head and wiped her nose. “He would never hurt me.”
“It’s the truth. Now, you must make an important choice. The most urgent of your life. Will you heed my warning, or accept your fate?”
She pushed by me and flung open the back door. A loud slam rattled the walls. I almost chastised her for rudeness, but in her defense, her reading was rather shocking. Most of the time, I had a sliver of hope that the person I read for might change their fate, but I didn’t think she would. 
If she went to him tonight as planned, this moment – and I – would be one of the last things she recalled before death claimed her.

Preacher Sam
by Cassondra Windwalker
Publisher: Black Spot Books 
Release Date: September 17, 2019

​No one is more qualified to understand the blackest hearts than a disgraced, porn-addicted former preacher who is still in love with his estranged wife. Floundering for direction and beset by the needs of his well-meaning but aggravating atheist sister and her seven-year-old son, Sam Geisler is trying to put his past behind him when the murder of one of his former parishioners by another drags him back into the world he left behind.Sam may not be Broadripple’s favorite son, but his peculiar gift for listening has earned him the moniker murderer-whisperer, and the police need his help on what should be an open-and-shut case. Fighting for his marriage, fighting with his sister, and fighting against his own demons, Sam may be the only one who hears what the real murderer is all but shouting—but will it be enough to drive back his own darkness?

​~~~REVIEW~~~

4/5

​Cassondra Windwalker’s Preacher Sam is a psychological thriller that delves into the degradation of mankind when murder, lies, and secrets take over the small town of Broadripple, Indiana. The complex story sucks you in immediately as Amanda is arrested for murdering her best friend and business partner, Amy. Amanda shuts down and refuses to speak to anyone except Amy’s husband, Clay, and her former preacher, Sam Geisler.  This only adds fuel to the speculation as to what happened to cause someone to murder sweet Amy and the reason behind it all is quite disturbing. 

While a slow build to the surprising climax, the author takes the reader on a journey of reflection and growth with disgraced preacher Sam Geisler as he attempts to find redemption from his sins in the eyes of the church as well as his own.  Having left the church after admitting to having a porn addiction, Sam is estranged from his wife and living in the spare room above his sister’s book café.  The murder plot almost takes a back seat Sam’s personal trials. 

Preacher Sam is the first book I have read by Cassondra Windwalker.  I enjoy the depth and the rawness of her characters.  She bares all their sins but doesn’t judge.  The secondary character, Dani, Sam’s sister, is actually my favorite.  She adds levity to the serious nature of the story. Dani is feisty and mouthy and I love it!  I look forward to reading future books in this series.

This was my first glimpse into Havenwood Falls. I knew if I started with one of Stacey's I would love it. I was right! This town is so magical, I have to have more.

Back to THIS book. Octavia is a hoot, yes she has her struggles, and a rough start to life but she makes the best out of it. Guy, oh goodness how could you not like him! I can't wait to see how her story turns out! Yes it ended in a bit of a cliffy.

A Pack of Lies (Legends of Havenwood Falls #9)A Pack of Lies by Kallie Ross

Saving Infiniti (Havenwood Falls High #17)Saving Infiniti by Rose Garcia
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

This was different than your "normal" Havenwood Falls read. It brings in characters from the authors other series, which is pretty cool! At the end it explains when they can be read in her main series. I enjoyed Infiniti and Joe, I really can't wait to see what the next book brings!

The Collector: Awakening (Havenwood Falls #19)The Collector: Awakening by Kristie Cook
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I have been reading these in order of release (as best as I can anyways) and this one is one I have been waiting for! At first it was a little hard to figure out. Mainly because it was written in what seems to be the same time frame as, and even a bit before, the last book that was released (The Lurkers Within). I was thinking it was AFTER, so without giving anything away it was a bit confusing until it clicked.

Amazing read, these ladies did a great job doing this together seamlessly. This series is high up on my list of must reads.

Damned Allure (Havenwood Falls Sin & Silk #5)Damned Allure by Justine Winter
My rating: 3 of 5 stars

I wanted to love Shade's story, but I found it lacking. It didn't pull me in like I had hoped. It wasn't horrible it just wasn't what I was expecting. He lost his way for a little bit after getting a meat suit, and that took up most of the book.For being a Sin & Silk I was expecting more of a "love" story. Oh well, I am happy I read it and I am excited for the next book!

Title: The Elite Series
Author: Jonathan Yanez
Genre: Urban Fantasy
Publisher: Archimedes Books
Hosted by: Lady Amber's PR
Blurb: When life knocks you down you get back up and when it bites, you bite back.
For Connor Moore, life has been a beast and it's not about to get any easier.
You see Connor's not your everyday average run of the mill young adult character stuck in a story we've all heard before. He's an elite human carrying an extra DNA strand that you and I don't have and it's just begging to be activated.
I could tell you more but this is a spoiler free zone. All I can say is that we covered our bases on this one including; adventure, action, romance, suspense, comedy and characters.
Don't take my word for it I'm pretty biased. Grab your copy now and get ready for an all nighter, lost in the pages of what could be.

 More animal than man, he bleeds caffeine and... Ah, I'm just kidding. It sounded cool though right?
I'm Jonathan, a former personal trainer turned full-time author and part-time model.
I could go on and on about how many books I've written and awards I've won and blah, blah, blah but I'd rather use this time for you to get to know the real me.
I write because that's what I was born to do and I freaking love doing it. Because of awesome people like you, I get to do it full time.

Author: MLJ Quigg
Genre: Contemporary Romance
Editor: Kaylene Osborn (Swish editing and design)
Publication Date: August 16th, 2019

Blurb:
“As soon as I saw you, it was like a light shining down from the heavens. As I got to know you, I realized that light went soul deep, and I fell for you so hard.”
Hulk
After an accident and my girlfriend leaving, I didn’t think I’d find anyone to share my life with. Sure, I had my brother and the club, and I never thought I wanted anything more. That was until Claire walked into my life. She had a harrowing story behind her, and it forced my protective instincts forward, and they raged at full force. I simply had to get past the walls she’d built so tightly around her.
Claire
Some say amnesia is a new start, which is true. But what happens when you wake up one day and everything’s a blank. Let me tell you, it’s not fun but more like downright scary.
That was my life now. Sure, I’d made a family and new memories with Monique and the triplets, but when Monique reunited with Derrick, he came with a whole new family. Hulk was the Sergeant at Arms for the club and the man who would steal my heart. Unbeknownst to me, the man who had hurt me previously was closing in, and he wanted to finish what he’d started.
Will Hulk be able to save Claire from a madman, or will he be too late to have his angel with him forever? 
Australian author MLJ Quigg – lives in NSW, Australia, with her husband, three adult children, and six cats—yes, you heard that right, six.
Growing up in a huge family of eight kids was always noisy and didn’t give her enough alone time to unwind.
Books have always given her an outlet from the craziness that is her life. Nothing is better than curling up with a good story to take her mind off her surroundings.
As a new author, she hopes you enjoy her stories and helps you get out of your world and into hers for a few hours.

Blurb: One Vampire. One cure.
To save her life, Mackenzie had no choice but to turn Amy into a vampire. Wrought with guilt over it, Kenz searched throughout the supernatural world and found the impossible—a cure to vampirism.
Now, led by the villainous Elders, members of the vampire community are creeping from the shadows, united by their determination to claim the elusive cure. As the future Queen of the Lycans, Kenz finds herself tangled in the web of an impending uprising and left with only one choice... run.
Can Kenz return Amy’s mortality? Or will she lose her best friend to the crushing Nosferatu curse?
Karina Espinosa is the Urban Fantasy author of the Sins of the Fallen series and the Mackenzie Grey novels. Infatuated with travel, pop culture, and the need to write everything down, she spends much of her days in front of a computer working on her next book, shopping online, and listening to music. With nomadic tendencies, she is currently resting her head in South Florida until the itch to move strikes again. You can usually catch her on Facebook, Instagram and live-tweeting during episodes of Game of Thrones, The Walking Dead, and Orphan Black. Follow her on social media!
