Bloody…broken…barely surviving…
Danae “Dani” Espinoza is on the run and desperate to escape the demons of her past. Plans to hide out in a sleepy Los Angeles suburb turn into a pipe dream as she is drawn into the secret filled world of the local motorcycle club. Dani soon learns that her secrets and lies are nothing compared to those kept behind the clubhouse doors. Trying to avoid the suspicious Vice President, she must keep a low profile in order to survive. The trouble is he has other ideas.
Bike…babes…and booze…
Can an angel with blood-covered wings and the devil himself resist temptation or will they risk bringing hellfire down on everything that they love?

(5 stars)
First off I have a confession to make. When Avelyn released her first book, Damaged, I didn't want to read it. Why? Honestly, the cover didn't appeal to me. Stupid huh! Well, as the old saying goes, never judge a book by it's cover, because when I did actually pick it up and read it... I LOVED IT.
Now, when I found out Avelyn's second, I repeat, this is only her SECOND book, was going to be an MC book I was thrilled. MC are my favourite genre at the moment. Now, with it being my favourite genre, I have read a LOT of these, so my expectations were high. I didn't think I had anything to worry about though, going off how much I enjoyed Avelyn's first book. And boy was I right!
Heaven Sent was in a word FANTASTIC. I really enjoyed it. I enjoyed it so much I was thinking about when I could get back to reading it, every time I had to stop (damn life getting in the way, lol).
Dani, what a great character. Yes she was in trouble, yes she needed help, but she was far, far from being a damsel in distress. Hero, in my opinion, is a "typical" biker that you get in these books. That is not a bad thing at all though, there is a type of character that appeals, and Hero was it.
A great story, good writing, likeable characters and you have a hit, and for me Heaven Sent was definitely a hit. A well deserved 5 stars from me, and I can't wait to read more from this talented new author.

Cold.
All I can feel is a deep chill blanketing my body. My eyes open to complete
darkness as a voice calls to me. Its muffled tones send
shivers down my spine with every garbled word. A sense of familiarity floats
around me as its words become clearer.
“Run, Dani,” it pleas from beyond the black
veil shrouding the room. “Escape while you can,” it continues. Panic courses
through my veins. Where in the hell am I? Why can’t I see anything? The pleas
go unanswered as my voice fails to render sound.
“Help!” I scream internally, “Please, fucking
help me!”
The voice’s call fades with each word. “You
need to get the hell out of here, Dani. You need to move. Find a wall and
escape,” I coach to myself. A cold chill of air sweeps into the darkness
encompassing me as I try to feel the place around me. My fingers plunge into a
dense, sticky liquid as I crawl forward causing my body to slide with each
movement. A hard surface is finally inching its way under my fingers.
Crawling upwards, I splay my hands against the
cool wall. “You’re on your feet, Dani. The hardest part is over now. Time to
find a door or a light switch, something to get us out of here,” my internal
coach continues.
Keeping close to the wall, I finally find a
switch. Flicking it upwards, the light shines brilliantly. As my eyes adjust to
the light, my hands come into my vision. A scream barrels out of my throat when
I see the sticky, red blood covering my hands and clothes. My heart races as I frantically wipe
the blood away. Blood begins to pool at my feet, inching toward me. Rushing
away from the blood, I fall backward into a solid, but warm obstacle. Before I
can turn around, hands grasp my arms as a person’s hot breath trails down my
neck.
“Hello, Dani,” a different voice whispers in
my ear. “Welcome to Hell. You’re mine now,” the voice crackles as my body is
pulled into black oblivion.
Avelyn Paige is a born and raised Indiana girl. She may be a Hoosier by birth, but she’s a Boilermaker by choice! Avelyn lives in rural Indiana with her pastor husband, 2 spoiled cats, and one very odd looking dog. She’s an oncology research scientist by day and a writer and book review blogger by night. She enjoys reading anything she can get her hands, baking, and spending time with her friends and family.
Never intending to ever write her own book, the idea behind the Damaged series came to her on a drive to work early one morning thinking about her father who’d recently passed away. His strength during his cancer and rare blood disease battle inspired Avelyn to do something she’s never thought about before. She’s excited to see where this wild ride takes her.
