The Vault #2
Redemption: Part Two
One night. That was all he was supposed to take from her, but it wasn’t enough.
Isabella invaded his thoughts, fueled his hunger, stroked his dominance.
She threatened to turn Adam’s life completely upside down.
Could he turn away from the only woman he’s ever truly craved?
She was supposed to forget about him, take their secret and bury it deep.
Her lips were sealed, but forgetting the night she shared with Adam? That was a different story.
How could one man feel like such a good and bad idea all at once?
His world was one Isabella knew nothing about, but with one taste, she couldn’t help but crave another.
She should have taken his gift of redemption and ran.
Instead, she was aching to surrender.

I’m so glad Adam and Isabella are back! The book picks up right where the first book left off. Isabella had ended things with Adam, but she can’t get him out of her mind. So, she ends up on his doorstep, and I was very interested to see what was going to happen because they have such a connection.
What I love about this book is that Kate Benson not only focuses on them as a couple, but she focuses on them individually as well. She is not used to being in as an intense relationship as this one with Adam. Benson did a phenomenal job of delving into her uncertainties and her complicated feelings she has for Adam.
I also got to see a new side to Adam. He actually has a vulnerable side. He let Isabella see much more than his sexy, domineering side. As they entered another level of their relationship, he really tried to make her more comfortable, and he respected her enough to give her a space outside of him…something of her own. It was nice seeing that side of him.
I’m not a big fan of submissive/dom romances, but I do like Benson’s. She doesn’t focus solely on the act itself like so many other novels do. She actually explores their feelings and emotions, and she does something so many similar books don’t do. She shows her readers the intimacy and trust the couple has to have when they have that kind of relationship.
With any book she writes, her love for her characters are a part of her, and that definitely comes out in each book I read by her. Because of that, I can always connect with her characters which draw me into the story. This is just the beginning of Isabella and Adam, and I can’t wait be a part of their journey to their HEA!

Beta reader...
Love this read, Isabella and Adam are my new favorite couple by Kate Benson. Their relationship is one of secrecy because of certain circumstances. Adam is dominate by nature and Isabella is far from submissive. May times during this read I caught myself saying.."Oh no she didn't" and then smiling. Kate has a way to bring you into her stories and make you feel like you are the character. She is a talent author to whom I am great fan.

I can't tell you how excited I am to be back with Adam and Isabella.
Kate Benson is definitely the queen of the cliffehangers and at the end of part 1 she left me desperate for more.
In this book we pick up immediately where we left off, waiting to find out if Isabella is really ready to become a submissive and give a relationship with Adam a go. Once again Adam and Isabella's chemistry is off the charts and what I really loved is how dominant Adam can be but you also see a softer side to him where Isabella is concerned. These two are very quickly becoming one of my favourite couple's from Kate Benson and I can't wait to read more of their story.

If case anyone didn't notice the Part Two behind the title, it's the second book so you MUST READ PART 1 FIRST, as it's not a standalone about a different couple, it's a continuation of the same couple. That being said, I can get on with it. I LOVE Kate Benson's super talented writing style, and while I'm not always crazy about other D/s stories, but in this instance, I'm obsessed, as Ms. Benson gives it an extra added something that made me absolutely LOVE it to pieces, not get enraged like I'm apt to do with others. It picks back up where Part 1 left off with Isabella ending things with Adam, but she can't get him out of her mind at all, so she finds herself on his doorstep. I think my favorite part of this book was seeing Adam in a new light, not that I didn't love him already, but I believe I fell more in love with him, if that's possible. Like I connected with him on a more emotional level, just I had already done so with Isabella. I know that I may not be making any sense, but this part has become more than a story to me, so my emotions are still a mess, as it was more than just a sexy story this time around. I find that I cannot get enough of these two, and HIGHLY HIGHLY HIGHLY RECOMMEND TO ALL!

As Adam is Isabella’s boss what was supposed to be one night has left them both wanting much more. They are trying to keep their relationship strictly professional but the feelings they have for each other are too strong to deny so it becomes business at work and personal at home.
Adam is a natural Dominant but he is not sure that Isabella is suited to be a submissive so before they make that step he wants her to understand what that entails.
I am loving this series and these characters as Isabella is so feisty while Adam is the perfect alpha and their chemistry is off the charts. The next installment can’t come soon enough.

The second part to Adam and Isabella's story starts right where the first story ends. Isabella is ready to try and see where the connection they share takes them. Adam wants Isabella so much, he can't think of anything else.
Will they open up to each other?
The writing is fantastic and witty. Told in both Adam and Isabella's POV.
There is a cliffhanger.

Adam is struggling with his feelings for Isabella. These struggles keep him coming back for more. In this installment, the chemistry is burning up the pages. Adam and Isabella fall into their relationship naturally. Picking up where part one left off, helps the flow of the story continue. This ends in a cliffhanger, leaving me wanting to know more. Once again, I could not stop listening to this story until the end.
Zachary Zaba, once again, brings this story to life. He has kept the characters voices consistent with part one. IT was so easy to fall back into the lives of Isabella and Adam through Zachary's narration. I love the consistency of the same narrator in a series and I hope Zachary continues this one as well.

I thought it was ok, but it is very similar to the Fifty Shades series, and I'm not sure that was intended. Parts of this, as well as the Fifty Shades series, are unrealistic.. not every Dom/Sub is made up of a rich guy and not so rich girl, nor is there always contracts and NDA's involved. While I actually liked the characters Bella and Adam, I'd have liked to have seen their interactions be a bit more organic and real. This can still happen in future books in this series, and I have hope there. It's a decent start, but just not realistic enough for those who may be in or might have once lived the lifestyle.

Genre: Office romance, billionaire

Part of a Series: Book two of The Vault series

Redemption: Part Two starts exactly where Redemption: Part One left off. Again, it ends not at a terrible cliffhanger but at the logical next part of the story. Already hot, it appears as if this series is about to explode in flames. I liked the relationship between Adam and Isabella but cannot wait to see how it changes in the stories to come.

Second part to this amazing series about Adam and Isabella. One night was all it was suppose to be between the two of them. But neither one of them could get the other out of their head. But will they be able to handle anything more? This book starts the storyline of Isabella and Adam together and her giving in to him in more ways than one. But will what he is giving her be enough?
I absolutely love this series. It is a slow burning page turning must read. I love the chemistry between Adam and Isabella. The sparks fly off the pages. A must read from Kate. I could not be happier that I started reading this series from her first.

I received this audiobook free for an honest review as a member of the Pink Flamingo Production Review Team. You must listen/read the first book, Part One, in order to understand the beginning of Adam and Isabella. The new boss and CEO of the company Isabella works for is hard, tough, arrogant and domineering. A Dom to the core. Isabella is a smart, beautiful, opinionated young woman working as a Marketing Assistant for his company. Where this story goes is beginning to unravel in this second book. You will want to listen to the continuing story of these two characters in the following books in the series. The narrator does a good job with the characters and their personalities.

Kate Benson has yet again wrote another fantastic book.
Redemption part 2 carries straight on from where part one finishes.
Adam and Isabella will have you that gripped that you feel you are going through what they are. Will Adam get what he really wants, will Isabella take the leap and be a sub or only want a relationship? You will need to read part 2 to find out. Can’t wait for more of their story. Kate Benson is an amazing author who has you so gripped in a story yo can’t put the book down.

**Audio review**
Part two of Adam and Isabella is so good. Happy to be listening to their journey again. Isabella in the first book ran from Adam and the idea of sleeping with her boss bit she couldn’t stay away. Adam was hoping she would come to him again as he couldn’t get her out of his head. Great second book where they learn more about each other and how to move forward. In there are stresses but also lots of steamy encounters. The narration again is bang on and I have grown to enjoy Zachary Zaba’s voice. Definitely recommend this audio series.

The sexiness continues in part two! There are so many things I loved about this book. Isabella is feisty and doesn’t apologize for it. Nothing is rushed concerning a certain topic. LOVED that! So many rush into it and I love that Miss Benson didn’t. As always she brings the heat with those hot scenes between Adam and Isabella. Zachary’s pleasant voice helped bring the story to life! I can’t wait to dive into the next one! I give this 5 stars.
April 26, 2018
Adam & Isabella are definitely one of my new favorite book couples! I love the passion in their relationship! I’ve been highly anticipating part two and believe me Ms Benson did not disappoint!
These two are definitely a spicy pair and I can’t wait for more! Definitely a 5 Star must read!
If you haven’t read part one, you’ll need to start there, but trust me your kindle will be smokin hot😍

I'm not sure where my review went; So here we go again :) I need more Adam and Bella. That was stunning, and incredible! I love both Adam's and Bella's POV. You get to experience what they are truly thinking and feeling. I'm moving through these as novella's at a very fast pace. I can't wait to get to the other parts in the series.
Kudo's Kate!

Excellent
Isabella is going to make a funny submissive. Her mouth is going to get her in trouble and it’s going to be fun to read about how she adjusts to it. I loved the scene where she told off her boss in another language. Adam’s feelings seem to be heading in a direction he’s unfamiliar with. I hope he doesn’t push her away in the next book. Can’t wait to read it!

The romance between Isabella and Adam heats up in the second book of a six part series. When she finally gives into his ideals and becomes his submissive is it all fun and games or are they on a path to destruction. The steamy scenes are intense and the feelings just leap off the page - I cannot wait to see where this one goes.

Ok
This book is OK, it does remind me a bit of fifty shades, I think it's a little short I like my books to be longer, but it's not so bad with not having to ait for the next book, I like Isabelle I'm not sure how she will go once her training starts I also think there's alot more to Adam that he as not shown yet.

This is the second part of Isabella and Adams story and it picks up right where the first book ended. The second books we get a better look at Adam. It’s hot and a page turner. Can’t wait for book 3.
September 23, 2018
I LOVE this part 2 - not just the bits in the middle, not just the hot sizzling love scenes, but all of it completely. It does have a bit of a cliffhanger at the end; I was hoping to see how the "training scenes would be" psssst maybe there will be a few in Book 3!

Ahhhh!
I hate cliffhangers but this is so worth the read. I couldn’t put down this second part to Isabella’s and Adam’s story. amd I’m definitely read to find out how their relationship is about to change!

I read this as a stand-alone and although it did hold up, I would have gotten more from the book had I read book #1.
This was a quick read of alpha male and not quite submissive heroine playing sub/dom roles. For me I didn’t quite connect with the characters and as I said I think it would probably have helped if I had read book #1.
