An emotional second chance romance with much, much more.
This is one of those romances that will stick with you for a while because it takes the characters into a situation that shouldn’t have happened but it did. Cole had been raised by his father knowing that he was never going to live up to his expectations but he was going to die trying anyway. Then he met Julian and Kiera, who both worked for his company. After one wonderful night that brought the three of them close, Cole left while making plans for their futures. But those futures never had a chance and now he needs to know what happened to Julian and Kiera to see if they can ever forgive him walking away from them. And to prove how much he needs and wants them in his life now and forever.
This book does deal with the BDSM lifestyle and it’s many, many variations so if that’s not for you, don’t read this book. It is also the eighth book in Haven, Texas series and although it can be read as a standalone, it is much better when read in the order it was written.

This is a mixed review
This is well written but I did not expect the book to be so heart wrenching or the abuse. A book difficult to put down because I needed to know how this would end, but not a book I enjoyed for the majority of the read.

This is an interesting and unique story. I enjoyed the premise and the characters. It was terrible what happened to Julian and Keira. And Cole was a jerk in the beginning of the story. However he does redeem himself as the story continues. The ending was great. Can’t wait for more in this series.
I liked that this book has Keira and Julian who are married and Cole who is the CEO having never had feelings for another man before. I am glad that Keira and Julian found somewhere safe to be after what happened to them. I also liked that Cole realized what he had and lost and when he finds them again he works hard at making their relationship work.

This book took me on an emotional roller coaster with the characters journey that will left its mark on my heart. Watching the story slowly unfold led to my wanting to protect and heal Cole, Julian, and Keira. The writing is so realistic and heartfelt that the pain and fear are experienced with the characters. You will be holding out hope that love will bring them together and out of the darkness that resulted from their pasts. Great addition to the series! Laylah Roberts has managed to make each book in this series better than the last.

Cole wasn’t living until he left his corporate life behind in search of happiness
To say I am hooked on Laylah after my 7th book is not an exaggeration, as I love the steamy dynamics between her characters. Cole is the CEO of his company when he succumbs to his need for a ménage with his PA, Keira and her husband, Julian. Come morning, Cole has their secret future planned, but things change in an instant. Keira and Julian fall victim to a madman that they escape from thanks to the help of Cole’s brother, Joel. Joel convinces Julian and Keira that they need a dom back in their life to help them get past their trauma to which they agree. Leaving behind his company and with a new lease on life, Cole plans to make amends with his brother when he comes upon Keira and Julian. Cole desparately hopes to join their lives, but knows he destroyed the couple’s trust. When Keira and Julian have problems at Joel’s club with their new dom, Cole seemingly steps in to the rescue. Can Julian and Keira learn to trust Cole again? You have to read to find out and will enjoy the plot twists and steamy encounters to keep you turning the pages.
This book is very aptly namely because the mistake that Cole makes is a doozy and the fallout from the decision he made, thinking he was protecting the people he loves, actually ends up having heartbreaking consequences for them. When he finally comes to his senses and tries to make amends to his brother, Joel, he discovers that Keira and Julian have found refuge with Joel. In the intervening time Cole has done a lot of soul searching and realises how much he really lost. The thing is what happened to Keira and Julian has scarred them to the point that Cole doesn’t even recognise them any more. Keira is so sweet, gentle and forgiving but Julian is another story. Can Cole make amends to Joel and gain back the only family he has left and Keira and Julian to build up a new family? The characters are wonderful, the story is full of passion, emotion and is well-written.

Cole made a mistake at a Christmas party and left because of his feeling for Keira and Julian. This story had you right in the middle of trying to heal the characters and the pain and fear they were in. This story has lots of love, healing between the characters and will leave you rethinking the story long after you are done with it. I hope that Travis and Jardin get their story. Looking forward to the next book. I received a free copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving a review.

COLE’S MISTAKE is the eighth book in the Haven, TX series. Each story stands completely on its own, with some character interaction.
Even Doms make mistakes. The best ones apologize and make amends – eventually. Cole knows that he has messed up. What he doesn’t know is the horrible domino effect his error has set into motion. I loved that his desire to make contrition turns out to be the balm that Keira and Julian need.
This story grabbed hold of me from the first page and I couldn’t put it down until I found the healing end. Strong emotions, beautiful commitment, and steamy romance are all powerfully pulled together to build a don’t miss story.
Note: While I received this book as a gifted ARC via Booksprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.

This story revolves around Cole, Keira and Julian. All three of these characters have been hurt in the past. The fact is that Cole contributed to Keira and Julian’s pain. When all three end up in Haven, choices have to be made. Can a second-chance be given? Can these three offer trust, forgiveness and healing to each other? Very emotional trip to Haven.

This was an amazing addition to the Haven series. It had so many heartbreaking moments, and the pain and anger Cole, Julian, and Keira have to wade through to find their HEA brought tears to my eyes more than once. It was brutal, dark, and intense. Then you have the tender moments, the Kindle melting passion, and the sexiness that is woven into all of Ms. Roberts’s books, and all the heartache fades away. Every story in this series has an emotional element that adds a richness and depth to the romance, but this one really got to me. I highly recommend it.
Story line is great and I loved the characters. I really enjoyed reading this book and I would recommend it! Unexpected twists and turns had me reading this book in one sitting. Great storyline and character development made this book a hot and enjoyable read!

Cole has made a terrible mistake and lost 2 people he loves. He thought he had good reason and besides, they are into BDSM and he will never be down with that. Never is a long time. Once he finds them, can he forgive himself for their nightmares? Show them they can trust his love? His dominance?

This story is a little different than the other Haven stories. This starts out in Los Angeles with Saxon’s brother Cole. He has been attracted to his PA and her husband, Julian. He has never been attracted to men before, but he decides to try. Unfortunately, he worries too much about other opinions and breaks up with Julian and Keira. Three years later he finds them in Haven, but they are no longer the people he left. They have been traumatized and are suffering from PTSD. Cole has to work hard to get them to allow him back in their lives. There is a HEA and a little mention of other Haven couples.

Its been a while since we have been to Haven, but each time we go there we see the tight knit community go larger as more ppeople are introduced.Coles character starts off as a self absorbed man who knows what he wants.
He likes Julian and Keira (husband and wife) and starts scening with them, only it stops the next day.
Three years later he has come to Haven to see his brother to ask forgiveness, he realizes that he has been much like his dead father. But going into get some food he happens across Keira and Julian once more and is shocked at the way they both look. Can they f orgive him for what he did, and what has happened to make them so haunted.
A wonderful story indeed, with a nice touch of BDSM that is really hot. And just as a after note i really felt for this couple, but they definately got their HEA. And to find oyt how just one click now
Just Wow. Cole Saxon had a lot to learn, the hard way! This was a fantastic story. I love all these Haven Texas Books. They are all well written, with angst, love, hope, desire, passion and feeling of that someone sprecial is home. I’m this case it’s 2 someone’s for Cole. Julian and
Kiera are the husband and wife team that Cole is desperate to take care of. Their Kitten is a spunky, scared woman after what her and Julian have been through. This has all the good, the, bad and the best feels!! The steamy scenes were over the top sexy and and so hot you’ll need a fan to cool off. The suspense also kept me on edge. It shows how people l’s lives can change with just one small choice. love how this HEA was achieved. More Please! Laylah Roberts is a awesome author!
I reviewed a complementary copy of this book.
Everyone makes mistakes, but Cole’s is a whopper. After pushing away the couple he most wants in his life, and then discovering that the damage done may be more than can be borne, Cole sets out to make amends. Is there a way that actions will redeem the error Cole has made? Will Kiera and Julian be able to trust that the Dom they need is the one who can bring their trio back together?
The writing of Cole, Kiera and Julian’s story is exceptional because it draws you into their lives, as if you are sitting with them, observing. I laughed and I cried because I could feel the emotion in the words and this is something that is rare for me. Actions taken by Cole lead to Kiera and Julian leaving town. Later a bad decision almost leads to their death but they are rescued. The sexual interaction between the three of them is beautifully written and graphic. There is a HEA but a lots happens first. This is an exceptional book that I would highly recommend for reading.
Menage with some heart
Another great addition to the collection of stories of the special town of Haven. Although this story has a start much earlier, it picks up the threads of the history Keira and Julian has with Cole Saxon. Between their short lived painful start with Cole and now, about 3 years have passed as well as the trauma of being kept against their will and tortured.
Both Keira and Julian are dealing with trauma and PTSD when Cole unexpectedly finds them under the protection of his brother. The reader is then taken on the journey where trust is rebuild between the 3. The elements of suspense where light given the heavy emotional subjects in the story.
Did Cole redeem himself enough to win back Julian an Keira? I am mostly convinced.
In all a good steamy read with safe, sane and consensual play portrayed.
