Eleven years is a long time to spend on the run...
It may be a new city and a new name, but it's the same old story. Never let anyone get close. Never let on that you're more than what's on the surface. I've gotten pretty good at both of those things. After over a decade of practice, it was bound to happen.
I'm working in a random vampire bar, O, keeping my head down and my profile low. Every day is the same. And "same" is safe. But that all changes when a ridiculously handsome wolf shifter walks in and the attraction I feel is fueled by an ancient magic.
Little do I know, this is just the beginning.
Sparks fly when The Fates themselves bring me and my mates together. Three incredible shifters are about to turn my life upside-down in the best of ways. But the question is, can I trust them with my secrets, or will sharing my truth lead to disaster?
Fated is a reverse harem paranormal romance where the main character has multiple partners. Due to mature content, this series is recommended for those 18+. Trigger warning: contains references to abuse and sexual assault.
I love both wolf shifters and fated mates, which Fated has both. I also really enjoy FMCs who are overcoming traumatic pasts to come out stronger, which is also the case here. This appears to be a debut for Ms. Wilde and there are some minor editing errors and parts that more tell than show, but I enjoyed this story and seeing how the FMC and her mates would handle the challenges they were facing. I definitely think that continuing this series could smooth out the writing further. With that said, I thought the pacing was done well and how the plot progressed made sense, esp how the characters reacted to certain events.
The FMC finds her mates by a chance meeting with her first meet, but because of her past abuse, she doesn't know wolf culture. Which also plays a part in other aspects of their relationships. Each love interest is distinct and all three are good guys. That doesn't mean they don't mess up, but they're still decent and are able to recognize when they mess up and apologize. Emotions do come quickly because of the mate pull. So does the steam, but I'd still say this is a medium burn. There's relationship development, more so for the first mate, but hopefully more to come as well.
There's a bit of ow drama from a pack member who's interested in one of the guys, but that interest is not returned whatsoever. There's also danger as the FMC is running from her past. No mm or ff and the guys are very focused on the FMC. The book doesn't end on a cliffhanger, just more to come following the characters with a hint of what the next book may be about. Content warning: there are mentions of past physical abuse.
I was iffy at first with this book but it seemed like a good quick read. It was even better. I rarely see books other older FMLs in their forties. We are starting to see more books with FMLs in the late twenties and early thirties but this was really good. It doesn’t really end on a cliffhanger but has a nice sweet ending that’ll allow for more later on.
One of the reasons I chose this book was because her mates would be added throughout the story which I really prefer. I really enjoyed the book but felt like it needed a little something something. I’ll be continuing with the story because I want to give it a chance and see where the story goes.
Character development was wonderful - easy to read and easy to love. The FMC is so strong given her situation, very easy to understand her journey and see her development into becoming a confident and deserving woman. I will read this again and again I am sure - 5/5 on all fronts
I loved how this book drew me in from the start and just keep me intrigued all through it. I loved how Alexa built each character so that you began to care for them and get a deeper insight into them. Only criticism I have is i didn't get to read a of her first time with Mason 😋 . If you want a good reverse harem then this is the book for you.
I really felt the character development for Becca was great being this is the first book that was really great and I wish there were more interaction with her men I know that for there to be that relationship between them there needed to be her coming to terms with her life and self. This was perfectly done and I can not wait to see the next books that come out!!!!
This book has everything that you'll enjoy. It has drama. It has sweet alpha males. It has realistic consequences and adult considerations about thinking through problems. I really enjoyed this book I can't wait for the next one to come out.
I enjoyed this read. Fun twist. Main characters were all going through there own struggles while giving support to each other. Really enjoyed this one. Looking forward to the others.
I absolutely loved this book. It has an actual story line! It’s not just basic porn with some blather thrown in and I kept taking “human breaks” from chores to read a little bit more. That said, WRITE MORE PLEASE
I Loved this book! It was quick read, and the emotions that flowed off the pages felt completely natural to what was going on. I devoured this book! Can’t wait to read more about Becca and her men!
I love this book. It was well written with fantastic characters. I can't wait for more from this group. I hope the author hurries for the next release.
