Fated Souls
by Becky Flade
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
GENRE: Romantic Suspense
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
BLURB:
Shamed
investigative journalist turned tabloid scribe Maggie O’Connell convinces her
editor to let her go to Minnesota to research alleged werewolf sightings. Her
first night in the woods, she gets trapped in an old sleeping bag,
unintentionally attracts the attention of a bear, and is saved by the most
unlikely of heroes: the very wolf she had come to investigate!
When
she meets horse rancher Aidan Gael in the town market days later, she
recognizes his eyes as those belonging to her champion.
Aidan
tries desperately to avoid her; he both fears Maggie and fears for her. Neither
man nor beast can resist her curious mind and courageous heart. One kiss
threatens to break Aidan’s tenuous self-control but furthers Maggie’s resolve.
Danger
lurks at every turn. The curse Aidan fights to keep secret is only one of the
obstacles that will test the strength of their bond. Together they will
navigate the violence of both nature and of man in pursuit of their destiny.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
EXCERPT TWO:
“Ten.
You’d stay longer if you could afford to?” He asked it nonchalantly, as though
his world didn’t depend on her answer. Then he silently tried to convince
himself it didn’t.
“Hey
it’s my turn.”
“Nope
you asked how many we were up to. Don’t waste your questions.” She chuckled
when he tossed her words back at her, and Aidan thought he would probably never
tire of hearing her laughter. The sound made him think of childhood; sunny
days; sandy beaches; and snowball fights in the winter. His childhood had been
happy and he’d taken it for granted. He thought probably all children did. But
all that had been stripped from him when he was barely old enough to be called
a man. Then the wolf had become his reality and he’d closeted himself away from
the world for so long he’d forgotten the simple warmth of sharing laughter with
another person.
Maggie’s
laugh filled him with a light that he both craved and feared. He knew he should
continue to distance himself from her. He was worried he could become addicted
to her clever smile and husky laugh. Aidan pushed the worry aside before he
could talk himself out of enjoying the moment. He had sought her out this day.
He meant to see it through.
“Yes,
I’d stay longer if I could afford it. Why did you push me away that day?”

MY BOOK REVIEW:
This book took me on an exciting paranormal, romantic, suspense
adventure that I didn’t want to end!!!
This book is intriguing, engaging, suspenseful, thrilling, dramatic,
and satisfying!!!
I
really liked the main characters, Maggie and Aidan. They were likable, honest, and genuine. They both had baggage, but that’s what made
them such great characters!! I really liked
Maggie as she was sassy, bold, smart, tough, brave, confident, caring, determined,
and stubborn. I love strong female lead
characters and Maggie was just that!
I
really enjoyed that the author created flawed and damaged characters that
really showcased her writing style and ability to push her characters to reach
their full potential over their arc.
This is especially so with Aidan, as his character had such significant
growth, development, and improvement over the course of the book.
A strong character development journey to root for and enjoy
watching it unfold!
This book was filled with excellent plot obstacles that the main
characters had to face. They were well
constructed and thoroughly thought-out.
I
loved the adorable Minnesota setting. My
mom’s family is from there and I grew up with all those silly small-town
stories about walking to school in the snow five miles, etc. lol!!! So, I loved the author bringing in the
sweet hometown vibes with all the neighborly fixin’s. It definitely brought an enjoyable element to
the story line.
This book has a creative story line that evenly flows, superb
writing style with meticulously well-described scenes, strongly-developed
characters, is steady paced, and completely keeps you fully entertained!!
There are some predictable scenes. However, there are still a few very
unexpected twists and turns that you won’t see coming!
This book is Book One
of The Fated Series. This book can
absolutely be read as a standalone.
I will be reading and reviewing additional books in this series and look forward to sharing my take on those books with you soon!
All in all, I really enjoyed reading this book and would
absolutely recommend it! I think all
romantic, suspense readers will like this book too! So, add it to your TBR List and get to
reading - you won't be disappointed!

AUTHOR BIO:
A
city girl, born and bred, I tend to place my stories in and around southeast
Pennsylvania, or at least have a character or two from the area. Home is where
the heart is and I make mine with my very own knight in slightly tarnished
armor, three beautiful daughters, my son-in-law and two grandsons. When I’m not
busy living my own happily ever after, I’m writing about someone else’s.

ReplyDeleteHow did your book change from your first draft to your final draft?

DeleteThis book started as a short story but I just couldn't stop writing, it took on a life of its own. Then during the editing process about a third of the manuscript was cut. So short story made long then trimmed resulted in something much different than originally drafted. But I love it
