A hidden secret with life-changing consequences…

Outlaw. Enforcer. That was me when I rode with the Red Devils biker gang, but those days are in my rear view now. Or at least I thought they were.

I always had my eye on him. Lucas, an omega who made my mouth water. But he belonged to Troy, the boss, who kept him under lock and key. But one night Lucas escaped. I bailed on the gang and moved North, and a chance encounter brought us together again.

But was it chance? Or was it fate?

Lucas is my fated mate. He always knew, but Troy kept him pheromone blocked to hide the truth from me. We reunited in Cliffside, pledged our love to each other. We had plans…

And then Troy returned and took him away from me again. He’s out there somewhere, alone, facing a cruel, terrible future. But I’m not about to let that happen.

I’m going to find him, and I’m going to save him…

Bred by Fate is Book 5 in the Cliffside Wolves series featuring insta-love, over the top fun from a fierce, dominant alpha, a dose of humor and a warm, fuzzy HEA. Oh, and all the spice you know you get from Aspen Grey. We warned you… ;)

An MM Mpreg Shifter Romance.

It may not have been my first time ever, but it may as well have been. It was the first time I actually wanted it, and that was all that mattered. - Lucas


Warnings: Kidnapping, Held Captive, One MC is essentially a sex slave. First scene has SA.

Notable Tropes/Tags/Themes/etc.:
Omegaverse, MPreg, Fated Mates, Insta Love, MCs Separated, MM Romance, Wolf Shifters, Rescue/Savior, Sweet Parts

My Opinion:
This one has a little twist from the rest of the series, and the fact that I feel like it was a little more emotional a little more on the plot side. And this is something I liked. Alpha Marlon comes to be part of a biker gang, the same gang that the leader, Troy, has Omega Lucas locked up and held captive to basically be his sex slave. Poor Lucas knows that Marlon is his faded mate, but can do nothing about it, and Marlon does not know because Troy uses pheromone blockers daily. During a battle, Lucas gets away, and shortly after Marlon leaves the game. Fate brings them together before this hurt my heart because I really did like Marlon a lot. I can’t imagine going through that. Luckily, he runs into Trevor and Alec and things start to turn in the right direction. OMG when Lucas goes into labor and Marlon says made me feel even worse about what they must have gone through. We did get some smut with this one, but they are all very short, and I really wished if any of these books were a full length novel that this one would’ve been it.

Marlon and Lucas

Lucas was a captured man by a biker gang being kept away from his mate Marlon. But both escaped the biker gang and found each other. Sometimes love has a way of being you down but is so sweet when you are able to find your true love.

Fate always finds a way

What a great fifth book in the Cliffside Wolves series! I loved it. Biker gangs, evil alpha, sweet but tough omega, unlikely hero, fated mates, mpreg, wolves, and old friends. What's not to love!
This is Marlon and Lucas's story. All Marlon wanted was a family. Turns out the biker gang isn't it. Lucas is being held captive by the gang leader. He knows who his fated mate is, but because Troy keeps him pheromone blocked, his mate can't scent him. After Lucas escapes, things get interesting. Marlon leaves the gang, ending up in Cliffside. Where Lucas is. Fireworks ensure along with very hot sex, unexpected heat, and bonding.
There is danger, a kidnapping, mpreg, violence and death. There is courage, bravery, determination, despair and hope. And there are loyal new friends. You will love this book!
Fate will bring these men together. They are made for each other. Time and distance won't change that. Love truly does conquer all. HEA is assured.
While this book stands alone, I recommend reading the first four books in the series. It will be time well spent.
This book contains adult themes and language, mm sex, shifter violence, abuse, and is intended for mature readers only.

Wow what another amazing book. I live how you give us new ways of finding love for these guys. In this story we meet Lucas and Marlon. These two had to literally fight their way back to each other and it was such a wonderful romantic story.  I hope that we get more with this series or maybe even a new one. I love how you write great books. Keep them coming. I give it 5 stars. I voluntarily read and reviewed this book as an Advanced Reader's Copy.

This was an enjoyable and very pleasant romance. Lucas was held captive by a motorcycle gang (Troy, the leader) and finally escaped and was reunited with Marlon, his mate who used to be in the same MC. The story had me drawn in, and I appreciated the fact that Lucas wasn't brutalized after being kidnapped while pregnant making it a more pleasurable reading experience for me. There was drama, action, family, love, and lots of heat. Fantastic read. =)

ARC review For honest review. Wow this one tops them all I loved how Lucas was Marlins fate mate, but couldn't know because of the blockers on him from being a captive slave by the red devils gang, but knew he was attracted to him . On the other hand I felt bad that lucas for having to protect himself as a omega. Awesome mm relationship

This was okay for me. A little over the top but a good quickie read. I liked the previous books in the series much better.
