It's fate that led us to each other. It's fate that we can't be together. When something bad happens, you never hear anyone say, “It must be fate.” Yet fate was to blame for me being home to witness my mother's murder. Fate paved the road my life was destined to take that tragic day. And that road led me directly to him. We were never meant to be. Just a chance encounter with a bad boy who shocked my heart into submission. Until fate pushed me down that road and led me to him again. Our paths didn't just cross, they collided. I need to fight the secrets from my past. He's just fighting for me. Can two people destined to meet survive the devastation fate set in motion? Welcome to my life. Fate hates me.

5-stars!  This book was fan-freakin'-tastic!  The plot was good from the beginning.  I didn't feel like I had to wait to get to the good part.  There were just the right amount of plot twists.  Not all of them were major or mind blowing.  However, there were a couple.  Tina Saxon does a wonderful job getting us into the characters.  The characters are pretty complex, so that is fun trying to peel through their layers.  There were a perfect amount of "extra" characters to keep you wondering what their roll in the plot is.  It is kind of hard to review Fate Hates without giving any spoilers!  You'll just have to read it yourself, and I highly recommend it.  As stated in the blurb, there is a MAJOR cliffhanger, so be prepared.  It will be worth it!

Fate has forced me down a twisted path. When I think it can’t get any worse, it reminds me that it can, pushing me into a thick, thorny maze and leaves deep, irrevocable scars. My will to fight has taken hit after hit, that burnt-out fire leaving only embers to scorch those closest to me. My fears and demons rage inside me, destroying everything … including the man who loves me more than anything. A hidden surprise and new danger brings Aiden back into my life, and he’s just as cocky and gorgeous as when we first met. My body jolts back to life the second we lock eyes, but I’m not ready for those sparks to fly. Can we put aside our feelings and work together to find a killer before it’s too late? Will Fate allow me enough time to heal and glue back the pieces of my life before it decides I need more excitement? No matter what it throws my way, I’ll survive. Right?

First, let me start by saying you MUST read Fate Hates before trying to read Fate Heals.  If not, you will be seriously lost!

Can Addie survive being kidnapped and abused?  Even if she does, will she ever be the same?  Can Aiden and Addie work through the fate that brought them together?  

I am giving Fate Heals 5 stars!  I have loved Aiden and Addie since Fate Hates, and the addition to Lexi to this book was fantastic.  I think despite a horrible tragedy, fate put her in the path of someone who needed her.  Max is one of my favorite secondary characters, as well as now Ryker.  If you are looking for a great romantic suspense and one that will keep your attention from page one, you need to read Fate Heals!

Conclusion of the romantic suspense Twist of Fate trilogy. He got down on one knee, and I said yes. Time stood still in a picture-perfect moment. I was finally going to get my happily ever after. Funny thing about moments, the next one can change everything. Aiden and I have spent our whole lives trying to untangle ourselves from an intricate web of truth and lies. We were almost free until the next moment happened and she changed everything. Fate brought us together, and I know we’re meant for each other. I’m not ready to give up. She should already know that I’m a fighter and I’m ready to fight for Aiden. He’s mine and I will get my happily ever after.

As we've learned from Fate Hates and Fate Heals, Addie and Aiden will never lead a simple life.  All Aiden and Addie want is to get married and adopt Lexi.  However, will Addie be able to get past someone being pregnant with Aiden's baby?  Will Addie's actions prevent her from keeping Lexi?  Will Addie and Aiden make it to "I do?"  

I have loved this series.  Addie and Aiden are forced to deal with so much, and while in real life we are probably not going to be faced with the exact situations they are, it just goes to show that love can prevail.  The supporting characters become their own version of main characters in Fate Loves.  Ryker still loves antagonizing Aiden and Max is still spoiling Lexi.  Sydney is still trying to make a decision between Damon and Max.  Oh....and Addie learns an interesting piece of information about her family.....dun dun dun!

5 Stars for Fate Loves!

CEO of her home is by far the most rewarding job she has ever had. Her jobs include, but are not limited to, seamstress, carpenter, craft extraordinaire, PTA President, chauffeur, dance mom, mediator—of mentioned kids—and author. Once upon a time she was a Financial Analyst but traded budgets and forecasts in for diapers and bottles. The former was definitely easier but the latter more fulfilling.

Tina’s love for reading surged into her passion for writing. Wanting to bring the reader an intriguing story that’s hard to put down with steamy love scenes that heat you up, she’s always thinking of the perfect way to take you down that path.

Resisting Redemption by Amabel Daniels

Title: Resisting Redemption

Author: Amabel Daniels

Genre: Romantic Suspense 

Release Date: April 15, 2017 

Desperate for a paycheck after forfeiting a chance at her dream career, Roxie Malone accepts a job at a law firm, assisting a hard-to-please and too tempting criminal attorney. Struggling to censor her sarcasm and adjust to the expectations of the challenging man, she maintains one goal. Do not get fired. As long as she refuses to mix business with pleasure, she might have a shot at earning the bonus at the end of the case. 

Me, assistant. You, boss. 

Losing the drive that made him one of the top lawmen at his firm, Grant Newland takes a leave of absence at the worst possible time. Upon hearing his friend is charged for murder, Grant races back to work to fight for justice. But concentrating on the case is easier said than done with the gorgeous, no-nonsense assistant trailing behind him. 

Blurring the lines…

Roxie and Grant agree to leave their pasts behind them, opting to swallow the pain of the sacrifices they’d made. They focus on answering one question. Who killed famous singer, Josh Warren? Chasing clues and stumbling over dead ends, they try to deny their attraction to each other. It’s only a matter of time before they can debate whether it might be better to tackle their case as a team, instead of resisting each other.

With a head full of red hair—real red, not strawberry or auburn, but flat-out, vibrant, bold, red—she jerked her face toward him. She narrowed her eyes as she studied him. A slow, concentrated onceover from his immaculately polished shoes, all the way up to his still-wet-from-the-shower hair. 

Like Jessica Rabbit, in one sexy, sweet package on her knees in front of him, her hair fell to cover one eye.

Oh, fuck me.

“Juanita…?” Grant couldn’t remove his stare from the woman. A sinking feeling she was bad news clouded his mind. The mere sight of her and he couldn’t think fast enough, all blood fueling a more southernly head. 

Red rose to her feet, showing tight curves in her simple black skirt, her green blouse failing to contain her cleavage. Papers stayed clutched in a bunch in one hand, and she stuck her other in a fist at her hip. 

“Grant, please meet your new assistant,” Juanita said. 

Oh, fuck me, please. No. 

Juanita and Lia had pulled this kind of stunt before, when he’d been grouchy prior to his leave. They’d hired gorgeous, fuckable women to be his assistant. Maybe Chris had been in on it, too, thinking a hot woman in his immediate proximity might snap him out of his asshole ways. An office-arranged rebound to distract him from the toxicity of his ex at the firm.

He never fraternized with the staff. Ever.

Grant is known for not keeping an assistant for more than a day.  He's picky, demanding, and has zero tolerance.  He's back to his job as a lawyer after a personal leave of absence.  You know someone is hard to work for when they offer a $80k bonus if you last a year!

Roxie has applied for a job in which she has zero qualifications, but gets hired on the spot.  Upon her first day, she isn't sure if she has been "found out" or not.  Roxie needs the bonus of this job desperately and has convinced herself she will do anything to get it.  She hasn't met Grant yet.  Or, is it Grant that will be kept on his toes?

This is my first book by Amabel Daniels and I am so excited to have found her work.  I do prefer to read in the first person POV and Resisting Redemption is written in the third person POV.  As I always mention, if it is a well written book, I usually don't notice the POV thing quite so much.  Amabel Daniels did a fantastic job with Resisting Redemption.  It was intriguing and drew me in right away.  Not only because I needed to find out if Roxie could make it, but also to find out what happened with the case Grant is working on.  

5 Stars for Resisting Redemption!
