Love and trust made them soul mates, but destiny might have other plans.
Ever since Drake Carpenter fell in love with warlock Mason Blackmoor, his life has been one supernatural battle after another, but Drake doesn’t mind… much. To be with Mason and experience the magical connection they share, Drake would face entire hordes of vampyren, shifters, or fae—and he has. Luckily Drake is immune to magic, though no one can explain his natural ability to negate almost any enchantment. With Drake’s own family gone, Mason is all he has. So why is Drake experiencing disturbing dreams about Mason that terrify him?
A new threat looms on the horizon, and a revelation about Drake’s identity and the true origin of his bond with Mason shatters everything Drake believes. If Drake, Mason, and all of magic are to survive the coming Spell Fall, the most destructive curse in sorcery, Drake must deal with the truth and fight his way back to Mason—because their enemies are gaining strength, and they intend to reach the boy Drake loves first.

Tams gives this one 5 Stars...
The Blackmoor men have all been through so much in their mutual quests for peace among the covens, and individually they all just long to find love. With each brother finally paired up with their destined mates, the youngest brother, Mason, and his boyfriend Drake are put to the test once again. Their past is about to collide with their future, and if they aren't careful, it could destroy not only their family, but the entire magical community.
Flores writing just gets better with each installment of this series. The world building, character development and growth as well as the overall feel of the story is just amazing. The Blackmoor men are continually put to the test, and though they struggle and don't always make the right decision, I'm so engaged with their journeys... both as individuals, as couples and as a family. This time around the focus is on Mason and Drake again, but for an entirely different reason. This evil hits a little closer to home, hits below the belt. As if their own personal demons and issues aren't enough, there is additional strain and distrust added to the already tenuous relationship between the Blackmoors and the other covens. It will be up to the youngest members of each coven to show their parents and families that anger and pride can be set aside if they are to see the bigger picture and win this war, together.
If you are a fan of this series or this Author then of course, this is a must read. This would also be a win win for fans of paranormal romance, supernatural sagas and those like me that just love the hard sought happy ever afters that are wrapped around a passionate romance. Keep in mind that this is a series that must be read in order though. I will testify it's worth the time to catch up.

Drake’s Diary Part I
Hello, everyone! I’m Jacob Z. Flores, and I’m thrilled to be
here today on my promotional tour for Spell
Fall, the fourth book of my Warlock Brothers of Havenbridge series. The
books in the series follow the lives of three magical brothers, Mason, Thad,
and Pierce Blackmoor.
The brothers have narrated the first three books as they
battled the enemies that threatened their lives and the magical community. In
their books, they also found true love, which was definitely an added bonus
considering how much each brother went through to get there.
The conclusion of book 3 brought an end to the first major
story arc, but there’s still more story to tell, and a whole new adventure
begins with the fourth book, Spell Fall.
Drake, Mason’s human boyfriend, assumes the mantle of narrator and kicks off
the second and final story arc of the series.
So to whet your appetite for the mystical adventures waiting
our characters, I thought it would be fun to give you a glimpse into the world
of Havenbridge as seen through the eyes of our new narrator Drake. How am I
going to do that? Well, I’m going to start a three part series where we take a
peek into Drake’s diary. The entries I’ll be sharing over the next few days
will fill in the time span from the end of book 3 to the beginning of Drake’s
book in Spell Fall.
I hope you enjoy!

Dear Diary,
Ben Crane is dead.
I guess I should be
happy about that, considering everything he’s put us through the past few
months, but I just can’t seem to celebrate like everyone else. Pierce hasn’t
stopped high-fiving people since he vanquished Ben on Aeaea, Thad hasn’t
stopped smiling (which is really creeping me out. I’ve gotten too used to him
frowning,) and Mason? Well, I love that boy something fierce, but he just can’t
seem to stop talking about the look on Ben’s face when Pierce finally….well,
you know.
So why aren’t I as
happy as everyone else? I don’t really know. I guess that’s why I’m here, to
figure it out.
So what do I
know then?
I know that Ben was
evil, and he would’ve killed us if he hadn’t been stopped. Heck, he’s been
trying to kill us ever since I moved to Havenbridge back in September. I know
I’m safer now that he’s gone. I know stopping him was a good thing.
Even knowing all those
things, though, I can’t bring myself to celebrate. Ben might have been evil and
most likely insane, but what happened to him wasn’t entirely his fault.
He didn’t ask to be
burned at the stake back in the 1600s for practicing witchcraft. He didn’t ask
to be turned into a vampyre and come back from the dead. He didn’t ask to be
held captive by the Conclave for over four hundred years. Who wouldn’t lose his
marbles being in a cell for that long?
Ben might have done
some horrible things in the name of revenge, but other forces were responsible
for turning him into what he became. His father’s to blame and so is the
Conclave.
Maybe that’s why I
can’t celebrate Ben’s passing. No matter the monster he became, he was once a regular
warlock just like Mason. He was once a member of a protector coven just like
Mason, and he was a shadow weaver. Just like Mason.
Is that why I can’t celebrate?
Am I worried that Mason will turn out get hurt like Ben?
No. That’s not gonna
happen. Mason is nothing like Ben. Yes, he’s impossibly bullheaded and
enthusiastically antagonistic to others, but unlike Ben, Mason comes from a
loving family. He has a father and brothers who would lay down their lives for
him.
But most of all, Mason
has something else Ben Crane never had.
Mason has me, and the
two of us are Spell Bound.
We have loved each
other across all of our past lives. No force is more powerful than that. So,
yeah, I’m scared about our future. I’m terrified about what else waits for us
out there. Ben’s death definitely brings us one step closer to finding out
exactly what that is, but I’ve got Mason and he’s got me.
I’ll keep him safe.
Reading this diary entry after reading the books makes me look at a couple things in a different way, thanks Jacob!

Gay romance that is sinfully charming Jacob Z. Flores lives a double life. During the day, he is a respected college English professor and mid-level administrator. At night and during his summer vacation, he loosens the tie and tosses aside the trendy sports coat to write man on man fiction, where the hardass assessor of freshmen level composition turns his attention to the firm posteriors and other rigid appendages of the characters in his fictional world. Summers in Provincetown, Massachusetts, provide Jacob with inspiration for his fiction. The abundance of barely clothed man flesh and daily debauchery stimulates his personal muse. When he isn’t stroking the keyboard, Jacob spends time with his daughter. They both represent a bright blue blip in an otherwise predominantly red swath in south Texas.
