SOMETHING LIKE REDEMPTION

Book 2

Monica James

Some secrets are best left untold…

I escaped to the sleepy little town of South Boston, Virginia, with the

intent to be normal and find a place I could call home.

But my past has come back with a vengeance and forced me to run

yet again.

This time, however, I’m not alone…

Quinn and I are on the run, fleeing for our lives while attempting to prove

our innocence for a crime we did not commit.

But with a tainted past like mine, it was inevitable that one day, it would catch up to me in a way I never fathomed.

One ill-fated decision leads to an explosion of unimaginable events, forcing Quinn and me to not only run for our lives but also…for our redemption.

4.5 Stars

Something Like Redemption is a really good continuation for this series. These books must be read in order; while Monica does a nice quick rundown right at the beginning of this book, it’s best to read them in order as you miss out on some very important details in the first book.

We get to know Mia and Quinn more in this book. While I wanted to slap Mia a few times in the beginning, I understand the why behind her actions. These two definitely go through ringer in this book but fight through it together.

Monica leaves a lot of unanswered questions and some open doors. I love how this story came together but still left us wanting more. Yes, this book does end in cliffhanger and it’s just enough to leave you begging for more.

I really enjoyed this second book, even with the small issues I had. Monica delivers just enough bread crumbs with some answers, but adds in more to keep things very enticing and gripping.

I cannot wait for the next book in this series. Monica truly knows how to captivate her readers and keep them reeled in.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Shattered Sun by Persephone Autumn

Release Date: October 17

When your heart was split in two, how did you choose who to love more?

As a young girl, I never imagined a day without Benjamin Wilks by my side. Ben had been more than my best friend. He’d been my person. The ordinary to my quirky. The smart to my foolish. The quiet to my loud. Regardless how opposite we were in personality, together we clicked.

Then tragedy struck and changed my life forever. And when Mom could no longer bear the memories our house held, she moved us to Stone Bay. For years, I rebelled. Spilled my hurt in the form of ugly words.

In time, I healed and learned to love the lavish small town and the people that called it home. In its borders, I met my soul sisters. I made a life for myself. And I had the attention of the hottest police officer in town.

Travis Emerson was more than an attractive man with a badge. Travis was part of the Stone Bay Seven—the town’s founding families—and that title came with responsibility. Though we flirted daily, our relationship never evolved beyond friendship.

Then Ben showed up in Stone Bay and swept me off my feet. Literally. In response, Travis growled his displeasure and all but claimed me in front of the town gossip mill.

One anonymous, disturbing note later, I learned Ben and Travis weren’t the only ones vying for my attention. Days after that, when the body of a woman was discovered in the woods, the whispers around town regarding my love triangle fizzled out. In its place… townsfolk claimed I resembled the lifeless woman.

Determined to protect me, Travis inserted himself more in my life. And my heart. But as I rekindled my relationship with Ben, I learned it was possible to love more than one person.

Before it’s too late, I needed to decide which of them I loved more. Because time wasn’t on my side.

Shatter Sun is my first book by Persephone Autumn and the first book in her newest series, Stone Bay.

I really enjoyed this romantic suspense. Persephone does a great job of blending the romance with stalker suspense and not taking away from either aspect throughout the book.

This is a love triangle, but not in a terrible way. Kirsten and Ben were best friends before her mom moved them away after a tragic accident.

Fast forward many years, and now Kirsten is a waitress at the local diner, and over her time working there, she has struck up a flirtatious relationship with Travis, a local police officer. It never goes beyond the flirting, but the chemistry is definitely there.

Ben happens to come into her hometown for work and finds her working at the diner when he and his crew stop in breakfast. And seeing these two together is like coming home. I loved it so much.

Suddenly, both men are vying for her attention, but then her stalker also comes into the mix. I love how Persephone weaves all of this together – the suspense, the chemistry, and spice – just all of it flowed nicely. What I loved even more was that it became obvious who Kirsten was going to choose.

Shattered Sun is a great start to this new series and definitely a great first read by this author for me. I am looking forward to more from this series.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Madame by Sara Cate

Release Date: October 12

They think they know me, but they have no idea.

As a professional Madame, I see men and women come and go. But no one ever sticks around, and I like it that way.

I have a secret to protect—at all costs.

So when the cocky, handsome, and submissive Clay Bradley weasels his way into my heart, I do the one thing I’ve always excelled at. I push him away—forever.

And like a good boy, he listens.

But a few months later, during a chance encounter, he shows up again, but this time he isn’t alone.

He has the stunning Jade on his arm.

And she has a request of her own. She wants me to teach her.

I should say no.

Training a woman who makes my knees weak is bad enough. But this particular woman is dating the man who still has my heart. It’s a recipe for disaster.

Made worse by one simple thing: they know my secret.

And they won’t let go.

But how can I protect what’s mine if I’m holding onto them too?

Jade and Clay are the only ones who truly see me and the only ones who know…

I’m so much more than a Madame.

Meet Sara Cate

Let’s skip the boring About the Author bit where I tell you how I’m a USA Today bestselling author who lives in Arizona with her kids, husband, and dog and enjoys baking in my free time. Boring.

Instead, I’d like you to know I strive to be a taboo and forbidden romance author who dares to tell stories with heart-wrenching plot and toe-curling heat.

My passion in life is to normalize a reading experience that pushes boundaries and empowers women to own their sexuality. Things that trigger my soapbox rants are discrediting the romance industry or belittling its readers by calling it “trash.” You’ve been warned. I could quite literally go on for days.

I like to take risks and write from the heart. And I want nothing more than to be an author readers trust to deliver books that are steamy AF but with a strong storyline and well-rounded characters.

What is The Sara Cate Experience?

The Sara Cate Experience means being pulled into a story and escaping reality a little bit for romances that are as emotional as they are arousing. The feelings are strong and the steam is scorching. There is never one without the other because when sex and love come together, it’s fireworks.

Release Day Blitz & Review…The Problem With Dating by Brittainy Cherry

The Problem with Dating by Brittainy Cherry is now live!

If I had to choose a person to hate, Alex Ramírez would’ve been first on the list…

Welcome to Honey Creek, Illinois, where life was as sweet as the town’s name suggested. That was, until Mr. Fine Dining himself, Alex Ramírez, rolled into town with a permanent scowl and decided to park his snooty five-star restaurant across from my cozy dog daycare. He was tall, dark, and about as warm as a frozen entrée.

After one too many unpleasant interactions, I was determined to stay out of his way and to keep him out of mine.

But fate had a quirky sense of humor. When Alex inherited his great-aunt’s cranky canine, he had no choice but to come to me, the local dog whisperer, for help. As for me? I needed a fake boyfriend to ward off my ex-husband, who was determined to win me back.

So, we struck a deal: I’d turn his dog into the town’s best-behaved pet, and in return, he’d be my arm candy for a few family events and social gatherings. Simple, uncomplicated, and absolutely not romantic—at least, that was what we told ourselves.

As we played house, I couldn’t help but notice that underneath Alex’s prickly shell was a dash of charm that wasn’t listed in the ingredients. Our pretend dates started to feel a little too real. And our feigned kisses? They were getting laughably close to crossing the line. Suddenly our interactions felt less like a food fight and more like foreplay.

With every playful touch and lingering glance, I couldn’t help but wonder: Was this fake relationship with Alex secretly penning its own authentic ending? Or was I risking it all for something that was nothing more than make-believe?

There has not been a book Brittainy has written that I haven’t thoroughly enjoyed.

The Problem With Dating is a really enjoyable grumpy/sunshine romance with the right touch of humor added in.

I enjoyed watching the dynamics between Yara and Alex play out as I read this book. It felt natural watching two completely opposite people learn to navigate the other and slowly become more than they either could have guessed.

Brittainy truly has this amazing talent that makes her story feel so realistic. While I had some issues of my own with this story, overall I absolutely enjoyed it and loved both Yara and Alex.

Another amazing story by Brittainy that readers will absolutely love.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Darkest Need by Rachel Van Dyken

To touch a Dark One is certain death…to fall in love with one of them might just be your salvation.

Darkest Need, an all-new page-turning Dark Ones novella from New York Times bestselling author Rachel Van Dyken, is available now!

I see everything. I feel everything.
I watch people fall in love. I watch them burn with hate, anger, rage, and I see the cycle repeat over and over again. I take it on every night I work at Timber, aka Anubis’s bar in downtown Seattle, and then I help the rest of the immortals keep the very intense balance between Heaven and Earth.

I see everyone’s future but mine, and when I try to look, all I see is darkness, despair, need…

Until she walks into my bar with bruises on her face, getting pulled by one of the lesser demons. I do what any good bartender would do… I beat him within an inch of his life and turn my eyes to her.
By then, it’s too late.
She already has me in her grasp.
A succubus that has no other plan than to suck me clean of every inch of power that’s been bestowed on me by the Heavens.

I never thought my future involved getting kidnapped and tied up or that I’d die by way of sex—then again, maybe that’s for the best. Dying at the hands of my enemy rather than being one more burden to my already mated friends.

After all, giving into one last need before death, while selfish, may be exactly what my darkness means.

My need is great.
And she’s about to find out just how much.

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you’ll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

Keep reading for a look inside Darkest Need!

Listen, I know I have chains wrapped strategically around my wrists and that every second that goes by, said chains are burning a mark into my skin that may or may not mean I’m about to get completely demolished by a succubus demon.
But this is not how the story starts.
I mean, maybe it’s how it ends since I’ve been in this exact spot for the last two days without food or water, waiting for a rescue from my immortal friends, knowing full well they’re probably all just having sex and enjoying marital bliss without realizing I’m actually missing.
Me.
The manager of the Seattle demon bar, Sin.
Werewolf prince.
All around really upright kind of guy—or so I like to think. But do you know where that got me?
Here.
Chained.
See also: Demon goddess who has not come back to check on me even once and says she wants to kill me via sex.
Bartending is looking great right now. Immortal life in my werewolf clan did not prepare me for this or the fact that saving one succubus would actually turn me into her prey.
She was bruised.
Beaten beyond recognition.
I was going to kill the vampire that attempted to slaughter her, but that’s a longer, more violent story since she ended up doing the deed once she got a bit of my blood. But I did give her water, thinking, wow, I’ve done this person a total solid. I mean, despite the fact that she was pretty. Even her tears were pretty. The bruising and swelling on her face didn’t even hide how beautiful she was—or is.
Maybe my first wrong act was comforting her. Because the minute we touched, her eyes flashed a creepy red, and well…see also actual burning handcuffs around my wrists.
It’s clearly been a fun forty-eight hours. Maybe she’ll make it quick, though a weird part of me kind of wants my last few moments being sucked dry via sex to last for a while, so long that it’s all I focus on, all I care about, all I see.
I see visions of the future, but I never saw this.
So, strap in because I’m sure it’s going to be a great story. I just may not make it all the way to the end with you.

I devoured this quickly and thoroughly enjoyed this one.

If you have read any of RVD’s previous books in this series (The Dark Ones), you will absolutely love this novella. For new readers to this series, certain things may seem a bit confusing and feel overwhelmed, but just keep reading.

I absolutely loved Tarek & Lilith’s story. It was exactly what I needed.

New readers will get an idea on how all these characters relate to one another and because you will see how the secondary characters care for him, you get an idea of who he is. Lilith is bit harder to connect to but Rachel does a fairly good job of explaining her purpose.

Overall, a nice novella introducing all the characters in this series and supporting Tarek and his story.

Release Day Blitz & Review…The Curse Keepers by D.G. Swank

I have seven days to the save the world…we’re screwed.

The Curse Keepers by Denise Grover Swank is now live!

When the keepers meet for the first time, the gate will be opened.

Two little rules have kept me safe since my mother died protecting me: always trust your instincts and forget everything about the curse.

But when I accidentally activate an ancient catastrophe I’ve spent my life running from, breaking the seal on the gates of hell and ripping the lost colony of Roanoke back through time and getting the attention of a vengeful god in the process, rules go out the window.

I can barely keep myself alive, and now somehow, it’s my responsibility to save all of humanity?

We’re screwed.

My only hope is to learn everything I can—everything I should have already known—from my fellow Curse Keeper—Collin-effing-Daily. Collin can lay on the charm when he wants to, but he’s made it clear he’s not happy I’m a novice at all of this. Unfortunately, I feel a pull to him I can’t chalk up to supernatural powers. My instincts beg me not to trust Collin, but I’m out of other options.

We have seven days to save the world, and the clock starts now.

Not a bad start to a series. This is definitely more for YA readers, and I truly mean young readers.

This definitely took some time for me to get into for various reasons – the characters I struggled to connect with. The Native American folklore and the actual plot was what kept me going.

Ellie has always struggled with her belief in this curse for her own reasons, so I can understand her hesitancy to just suddenly go all-in on it. I did struggle with her mannerisms and reactions for her age.

Collin – not going to lie, I did not really care for him. He’s a chauvinistic prick. But I also think that the author didn’t want him to be this lovable, sweet companion. She nailed his personality.

Overall, it’s a decent read and a nice start to the series. I definitely believe that younger readers will enjoy this more than adult readers who like YA.

Release Day Blitz & Review…Fate of A Faux by Meagan Brandy & Amo Jones

FATE OF A FAUX

Meagan Brandy AND Amo Jones

Release Date: October 6

FREE IN KINDLE UNLIMITED

The King of Darkness is dead.

It’s time for a new one to rise…

London Crow isn’t who I thought she was.

She’s worse.

My hate for her knows no bounds.

My need for her has no end.

But it’s my inability to have her that might just end us all, as the fates refuse to be ignored.

Now, there’s a darkness sweeping the streets of Rathe, threatening to destroy the Kingdom we know and love, and it’s all because of her.

The mate I can’t have.

The bond I can’t let go.

There is only one way to restore balance, and it begins and ends with her.

The problem? I broke the girl into a thousand tiny pieces without a second thought. Earning her forgiveness won’t be easy, but that’s fine.

If she won’t give it freely, I will take it.

One mistake at a time.

Fate of A Faux is the conclusion to London and Knight’s story, but is the second book in Amo & Meagan’s Lords of Rathe series.

This story continues on where Fate of A Royal ended. If you read my review for that one, then you know as a PNR reader, I had mixed feelings on it but was still intrigued enough to continue the series. And I am absolutely glad that I did.

Fate of A Faux definitely has more world building and paranormal elements in it and isn’t as heavy on the romance, which is what I like in my PNR books. For me, this book actually has a great balance of the paranormal aspects and the romance/relationship aspects.

There is a lot more action and twists in this second book. We get to know more about London and her background; we see more of a connection between London and Knight and not just the hot chemistry between them.

The fact that this second book is more enticing and enjoyable than the first is a great indication that Amo and Meagan are learning how to write in this genre and continuously making each book better than the last.

I am looking forward to seeing them develop this world more and learning more about the other Lords and their stories.
