Publisher's summary

I walk into the bar with my pack, and I scent her straight away.

She’s lying behind the counter with blood trailing from an injury to her head. My desire to protect her stuns me almost as much as her beauty.

But it’s the smell of her blood that stuns me the most—it’s something not quite human.

When she wakes up, her fear tells me all I need to know. She definitely thinks she’s mortal.

I choose to disagree.

I make my pack watch over her while she heals, and she’s surprised I want to protect her. It's obvious she hasn't had good experiences with shifters in the past, but I intend to show her I'm different.

I also need time to find out the truth about her, including why she's being hunted by our kind for reasons I’m yet to understand.

All I know is that whoever this woman really is, she’s special. And she's mine....

Draaaaags

I got 21 chapters in.... I really tried to enjoy it but the middle is heavy and long. I almost didn't finish. Nico was weak for an Alpha. it seemed like he was only an alpha on paper, but the reality left a lot to be desired.
just meh..... The story picked up towards the end and brought me back in.

main characters made too many mistakes hard to root for.

This book was interesting enough to keep going but the characters were to slow and dumb for me. so many times that we knew what was happening and the main characters were like five steps behind. 21 hours where story line was dragged out only to have a cliffhanger. I am nit reading the sequel.

Fate

Loved the storyline, the mysteries and it kept me hooked. Dislike that books 2 & 3 are not on Audible yet.

loved it

This book kept me on my toes. I really enjoyed the story line. The author is a great writer.

Good Story but very much dragged out and lacks emotional connection

I found this story to be quite lengthy and boring, so I ended up skipping many parts. Although the plot was intriguing, the author spent too much time on insignificant details instead of giving more depth to the characters and their relationships. I didn't feel any real chemistry between the main characters or their best friend, and the repetition throughout the story was excessive. Overall, the story lacked momentum and the author missed the opportunity to make it truly remarkable.

could have been 5 hours shorter but good

Good story line and great detail but way to long. I ended up skipping some chapters to the end.

the story

The story was very good but too long and drawn out. I thought it was too drawn out

Excellent story line

I couldn’t get enough of this book! It was absolutely wild at every turn. I couldn’t stop listening! The author really understood the assignment!

Action-Packed

This book is fast paced, action-packed paranormal has suspense, murder, steamy love scenes, and ends on a dozzy cliff hanger. Madison was a bar owner living her life. A simple ancestry test up turned her life forever. It is at this point when Nico Lorenzo, alpha of his pack finds Mary who turns out to be his fated mate. This audiibook is lengthy but so worth it. Narrator M.K. Blackwood did a fabulous job.

Love Roxie's books

First off let me say the narration really made this book for me. I thoroughly enjoyed this story and the first book in the Fated to Royalty trilogy. I loved the characters and can't wait to read the next books. Awesome narration.
