The test has come, and Eyce finds himself unprepared to deal with the churning crimson waters of the lakes and ponds. The Oracle warns that he must surrender in order to be victorious—a concept foreign to the big warrior. Surrender is not an option.

Echo still doesn’t understand his role in this war, but he’s willing to do whatever it takes to help Eyce complete his task. First, he must find a way inside the demon’s heart and force him to accept the love he offers so freely.

While Echo and Eyce work to clear the lakes, the threat from the lab still hangs heavy in the air. More are coming. They will never stop coming. Though their troubles seem never ending, Echo knows they can face down their enemies if they stand together. Now, if he can only make Eyce see this before it’s too late.

The task came to Eyce,yet he couldn't figure it out to deal with this mess,when threats from the lab got enough on their plate.
Eyce struggled with his heart,from the Oracle that he's dreaming of, he must to surrender to whatever he didn't even know.

This book is so much fun, I enjoy reading when the eight of them are together. Love scenes have the potential to ignite everything in the book on fire. I really satisfied with the way they solve the problems and their possessiveness toward Echo.
After two books passed,I truly became a fan of this series,and nothing's enjoyable more than reading the next one.

The 'challenge' of eight men in one relationship continues in this second volume of the series. It looks as if each of the demons is going to get 'his' book, where the focus is on his abilities and relationship with Echo, as well as the one with the other demons. I think this is a very interesting way of 'managing' the reader through such a complex situation.

Two things about the overarching story become very clear in this book: Hades (the bad guy who wants them back in Hell) is extremely upset, vengeful and not above recruiting other gods for his cause. The 'tests' he has designed will be difficult to pass, and the battle will be extremely tough. Secondly, the role of the Oracle seems to be an ongoing one, not just the catalyst that got the eight men together.

I liked how the group ends up helping some of Echo's fellow prisoners from the lab he grew up in and escaped from. Of course, they join the group in their fight for freedom, and with some (as yet largely unrevealed) abilities of their own these additions will not only come in useful, but provide additional scope for the exploration of paranormal activities.

Eyce is the focus of this book, and I loved how he came around to his own realization as to what is really important. The way Echo helps him along was very touching, and these two (I suspect) will from the core of a new level of consciousness for the demons. They are definitely changing and evolving, adding an interesting facet to this 'civil war in Hell'.

Bring on the next volume!

Ok there was some things I liked more then book 1 and some things I liked less.

I continue to adore the group dynamics between all 8 men - especially the 7 demons.
I think the author improved the fight scenes and made the prophecy more interesting.

however

I found echo a bit obnoxious at the beginning - but I liked him alot more in the second half of the book when he was a stronger character

The thing that annoyed the SHIT out of me was the party - it was not even needed for the plot and was SOOO unrealistic (if you only have a few friends why invite someone I basically REALLY enjoy this series because its fun to read.

However I do get annoyed with the author for putting useless or totally silly scenes/ideas into the plot.

So I kept with the 4 stars because even though I have my irks about this book I LOVE the 8 guys :)

I definitely like the idea of each demon getting his own story while still working with the group as a whole. The fact that in this installment the author is also introducing more men from the lab who will end up fighting the war with our guys is pretty awesome.

This was Eyce's story and I enjoyed it very much. He had to interpret the riddles from the Oracle to succeed at his challenge but with Echo and the gangs help Eyce will end up on top. Isn't it interesting, though, when more mythology comes into the picture?

Looking forward to the next story!

Me agradan los personajes y cómo se manejan en una relación de ocho, además que las pruebas y la parte fantasiosa mitológica está presente, me habría gustado mas profundidad pero no está mal.

Each of the demon's have a quest they need to fulfill. With this comes a revelation and a change... Highly erotic, lots of laughter, love and shennanigans.

Enjoy this series.

~May have slight spoilers.~

In this second novel of the Fatefully Yours series we have the first 'test', Eyce's. He must find the solution of the red waters that are cropping up and with this going on the threat from of the labs is still very much there and a worry in each warriors mind.

Echo is also trying to find where his place not just in the war but I think in with the warriors as well.

Things are starting to come into light now, I had a lot of 'ah hah' moments of, now I know or see what is going on.

I have to admit though that I liked the first novel more than this second installment. I won this novel and the first installment in a contest from the author at Redz World

One thing that bothered me was how everything seemed to happen so fast. I felt as if there should have been more detail or explaining what was going on and how/why.

Other than that though the novel was very fast paced, about a two-hour read maybe less but I definitely think it was worth the time especially if you have read the first novel in the series. There is some very steamy scenes between the men--eight men, 147 pages? Oh, yes--I definitely think they are still finding their way in the relationship even though you couldn't tell by the sexual action.

I will be looking forward to picking up the third one, Firestorm.

I would recommend this to anyone who is looking for a quick, sexy, good read and is a fan of Gabrielle Evans.

typical gabrielle evans serial romance. nothing fantastic, nothing so bad it can't be finished. what is typical gabrielle evans? imagine a shorter harlequin romance but with no t&a (see, i was going to write no surprise pregnancies, but... yeah.).

out of sheer laziness, i will be using this as my template for all books by :
sunny day
lynn hagen
stormy glenn
scarlett hyacinth
carol lynne
gabrielle evans

unless otherwise noted. i'd apologize, but i'm not sorry. i figure it's about as much time as they put into their books. dammit! well, i made it all the way to the end being rather moderate in my assessment. that's a win.

I’ll not write a review for this one. I’ll put it together with the review for the 3rd book in the series, because my review is the same for both books.
So if you would like to read my review, take a look at book 3 Firestorm in the “Fatefully Yours” series.


Rating for this one: 2.5 stars


rounded up with good will to 3 stars

Very enjoyable follow-up to the first book! I really enjoyed Eyce and his trial with Echo, and now I'm really looking forward to Fiero's story. He was one of my favorite characters from the first book, can't wait to read the story focused on him.

Да, менаж меня ввел в истерию, но сейчас немного поостыв поставила 4. Не могу пока представить, что любовь можно разделить равноценно среди 8 мужчин. Не вижу пока этого и они, видимо, тоже.
