So, you already know me.
And you already know some of my titles.

“True magic awaits us in the things we can’t understand and the pages of a good book.”
S.J. Callahan is an Ohio Bigfoot Hunter, folklore enthusiast, paranormal researcher, and author. She can’t remember a time when she wasn’t drawn to the mystery of the unknown, the silent enchantment of a long walk through a cemetery, or the call of putting pencil to paper to craft a mysterious story. S.J.’s Fractured Legacy Series embodies her childhood dream of becoming a paranormal investigator.
S.J. also writes Dark Romance and BDSM Romance as Skye Callahan.

This was an amazing novel that had me speechless, cringing, in tears, and in a panic.” (Everything Marie)
Stripped of everything she knows–even her real name–Silver is forced to adapt, to obey, and to do anything she needs to do to survive.
Overview
Sometimes when you can’t go back, the only way out is to descend into the darkness.
my Captor
When I woke in that place, I just wanted to survive. But survival came at a cost, for which they demanded my will and body.
my Master
With pain came acceptance. Fully-dependent on the man who claimed me, I learned to appreciate what I had-life and relative safety.
my Protector
I watched him spill blood and tend my injuries. With betrayal came a revelation.
The only way out was to bring them all down or die trying.
“Not only did Irrevocable gut me, it took me on a roller coaster ride full of emotions that I usually don’t experience while reading romances…. You start to hate, you start to sympathize, and you begin to fall in love in every way. Ms. Callahan has turned my world upside down with her writing. Dark, sensual, and at times overwhelming, Irrevocable will bring you on a dark journey that you will never forget.” (Shayna Renee’s Spicy Reads, TOP PICK of 2014!)
IRREVOCABLE is a dark romance intended for adult readers 18+ only. Not intended for those easily offended by dark subject matter.
“BEND, DON’T BREAK was a dark, sensual, and at times, twisted and chaotic read that messed with my mind so good. I will never get enough of Ms. Callahan’s writing style, of her beautifully damaged characters, and of her gripping story lines.” (read more…)
★★★★★ Shayna Renee’s Spicy Reads
“Again, I am amazed, I read this in an afternoon, and I am so glad I had the time because I wouldn’t have been able to put this down…. While this book is told from James’s POV it gives another side to the first story yet, builds onto the current story and another part that you haven’t been told.” (read more…)
★★★★★ Everything Marie
“Bend Don’t Break wasn’t as dark as Irrevocable and ended up being a perfect mix of drama and suspense. This sequel is heavily focused on the emotional aftermath and criminal investigation. BDB is a must read for Irrevocable fans!” (read more…)
★★★★★ Cheri Kindle Crack
“This is what I wanted at the end of Irrevocable! I needed James’s POV. I love that Skye Callahan didn’t just retell Irrevocable from James’s POV either. Bend Don’t Break starts just after the raid happens. We don’t merely get a story though, we get James’s thoughts and feelings on everything that happened.” (read more…)
★★★★ Lorie, Sinfully Sexy Book Reviews
“I just finished Bend, Don’t Break and what a way to finish this story! I just loved it…. ” (read more…)
★★★★★ Beggin (Shay) from Mommys a Book Whore
“I really liked James and especially his coming to terms with what he’d done at the retreat and the man he’d become because of it. It just worked.” (read more…)
★★★★ Cariad, Sizzling Pages Romance Reviews
“Now back on the outside, James and Rose have to figure out how to put the pieces back together in this next chapter of their lives. Loved them in Irrevocable and fell even harder for them in Bend, Don’t Break.” (read more…)
★★★★★ Vicki
“Rose and James have so much to work on recovering from their time at the Retreat, this book is filled with every emotion and it is an amazing read. I don’t want to give away any part of the story but if you read Irrevocable you must read this book, it was just as good if not better.” (read more…)
★★★★★ Angie, Wicked Reads Review Team
“I loved this sequel. It filled in so many holes from James POV and got us to the HEA I wanted for them both. If you loved Irrevocable, this is a must read!” (read more…)
★★★★★ Lucinda, Jezabell Girl and Friends
“Speechless! This was exactly what I needed to be happy with their story…! They fight their struggles and dark past together. And at the end are exactly what I wanted them to be…. It’s a must read.” (read more…)
★★★★★ Cherry, Naughty and Smutty Book Blog
“Bend Don’t Break was a great read. It makes you look at certain aspects and situations of what happened in Irrevocable in a different light…. We recommend everyone to put this on their TBR list, but please read Irrevocable first.” (read more…)
★★★★★ Bloggers from Down Under
“James’ point of view adds a necessary facet to his and Rose’s story. It allows readers to understand the position he was put in and why his choices weren’t really his own. It exemplifies his torment both during and after his experience in the Retreat, and it solidifies the depths of his feelings for Rose and how even though many may not understand their relationship, they are better together, working as a team than suffering alone.” (read more…)
★★★★ Fairest of all Book Reviews
“Wowzers! Bend Don’t Break blew my mind…! This book is intense and I LOVED every minute of it…. Filled with action, adventure, drama, lies, secrets, betrayal and love…this book has it all! ” (read more…)
★★★★★ Kristin Elyon
“I would recommend this book if you read Irrevocable. You would definitely want to see what happened next in the story. No cliffhanger. A happily ever after (but not the typical one because those two are steal healing from their past). I mean how much can two people take before the break.” (read more…)
★★★★ Pearls and Peacocks
“This is a five star read it kept me hooked and wanting to know what the outcome of their situation was going to be. I definitely recommend that you get this book and read it but it should be done after reading Irrevocable. Skye Callahan does an awesome job in developing the characters and keeping the storyline going and you glued to the story.” (read more…)
★★★★★ Heather, Summer’s Book Blog
“I have to say it didn’t disappoint for even a second. This book was almost better than the first for me simply because we’re in James’s head the whole time…. This is definitely one of my favorites by Skye and I cannot wait for whatever she writes next.” (read more…)
★★★★★ Carrie, Tattered Book Blog
“I was skeptical about a whole book from James’ POV but since it actually starts later and is more about James dealing with the aftermath with some flashbacks it was very easy to get wrapped up in the story. It is easily a whole other story since Irrevocable has about a 4 month gap at the end that I got to read about.” (read more…)
★★★★★ There’s This Book
“James is a very complex character and I loved being in his head. This book is written solely from his perspective, and Skye does an amazing job. Rose is a tough cookie. She’s been to hell and back, but that doesn’t stop her from giving herself over to James in every way she can.” (read more…)
