What a different and cool story.

Now on earth the seals have been broken for a short period of time and all supernatural beings are now on earth. Jayden now has the chance to be reunited with the woman he loved who is reincarnated. The only catch is she doesn’t know about her past life. And a demon who is her past horrible monster of a husband (by arranged marriage) wants to kill her, again. Jayden sees this as his chance to be with her again and save her this time. The only catch is once the seal is closed again he can either go to Heaven and be in Bliss or stay on earth with Arabella, his true love. But she has to say she wants him to stay and she has to kill her demon ex husband. What a wild ride!
This book was such a fun read from start to finish. It was a paranormal action story with heart warming romance. I found myself not able to put it down until I finished it. Would Arabella remember Jayden? Would she kill her demon ex? And as I read there were so many surprises. The action in the book was awesome. And the romantic aspects totally filled my hopeless romantic self.
I highly suggest this book to all fans of paranormal romance, regular romance, action and awesome supernatural stories. This author grabs the readers attention from the very start and has the reader on the edge of their seat until the very end. This book is part of a series. It can be read as a stand alone. This was my first book to read by this author. I definitely will be checking out others in the series. They all sound like fun adventures.
Part of the A Time Travel Romance/A Saint’s Grove Novel series, a well written story that kept me turning pages.

*Spoiler Alert*
I loved The more than men series which was also set in Saints Grove at the same time as this book. When the same event from that book happens to Bella (FMC) it bring her face to face with Angel Jayden who tells her that shes a reincarnation of a princess and that her husband Ulric killed her. Also that hes back and wants to do that again in this time. Jayden is here to help her kill him first. Love, Loss and rekindled Love all mesh together and its a bittersweet story. A good read
Second chance love or heartache again? Bella’s life has fallen into a rut and she doesn’t know how to change it.

ONE BLAZING ADVENTURE!!!
Holy crap! Carly raised the bar on this jaw dropping, mind blowing bombshell ramping up the stakes, keeping it real. She brought out the big guns, C-4 and assault rifles for this thrilling storyline and gripping plot catapulting this gem together flawlessly. Wrangling the trials and tribulations as trumoil and distress run rampant while speculations and chaos sets the pace in this non-stop action packed wonder. Throw in drama, danger and suspense and you have one dynamic page flipping, prize winning delight that propels this bad boy to a whole new level. The dynamics and presentation in layer upon layer that you peel back with each page your drawn into the web so deep you feel everything the characters feel one page at a time. The characters and their on point personalities are genuine and realistic with depth and qualities and just enough flaws for diversity. The scenes are so colorfully descriptive it’s easy to interpret each scenario as they play off one another flawlessly. Amazing job Carly, thanks for sharing this little guy with us.
4.25 stars–SHADOWS OF THE PAST by Carly Fall is part of the multi-authored SAINTS GROVE paranormal series focusing on the town of Saint’s Grove, Virginia in the aftermath of a total lunar eclipse, and the alignment of the planets, that will open a portal to the otherworld releasing all mythical beings for an epic battle of Good versus Evil. This is the Angel of Death Jayden, and bakery owner Arabella ‘Bella’ Franklin’s story line-a time travel, second chance romance.
WARNING: There are scenes of violence and abuse that may not be suitable for more sensitive readers.
Told from dual third person perspectives (Jayden and Bella) using present day and memories from the past, SHADOWS OF THE PAST follows the rekindling romance between Jayden and Arabella, a love affair that was destroyed centuries earlier, but a love that has withstood the test of time. Arabella finds herself caught up in the chaos following the alignment of the planets, only to come face to face with a wingless angel, an angel who knows more about Arabella that she could have ever imagined. As Jayden plays protector and guardian of our story line heroine, Bella will soon discover that the life she leads is not the first life of which she has lived and died. What ensues is the rebuilding romance and relationship between Jayden and Bella, and the potential fall-out as Bella finds herself targeted by someone from the past.
Bella Franklin has lived two lives, and in both lives our heroine has fallen in love with her would-be protector. Centuries earlier Arabella was forced into a marriage with an abusive man who ended her life but not before our heroine fell in love with her guardian knight. Fast forward to present day wherein Arabella’s past comes seeking revenge forcing Jayden to beg Heaven for a chance to protect the woman he loves.
SHADOWS OF THE PAST is a second chance romance; a rekindling relationship destroyed by power, control, torture and abuse. The premise is engaging and captivating; the characters are strong, energetic and colorful; the romance is seductive, passionate and intense but I struggled with the use of a certain four-letter word I don’t feel is necessary in a romance story line. Carly Fall pulls the reader into a fascinating and enchanting look at the paranormal.
First let me state, I received an Advance Reader Copy, (ARC), but this in no way influences my review. I always leave an honest review. Also, this is a new author to me, and it won’t be my last.
I truly enjoyed this story. It was very well written. I cried for Bella & Jayden, and I was happy for them as well. Bella proved that being a princess isn’t all it’s been thought to be. I recommend this read. 5 Thumbs up.
