When Angela was turned into a vampire against her will ninety
years ago she knew her life was about to experience some major changes. The
first of which was she had to get as far away from her vampire hating werewolf
lover Knox as fast as she possibly could if she expected to live another day. She
knew Knox’s hatred for vampires very well. Angela knew that he would never accept
her in her new form. Without a second thought she ran, she ran far.
Knox is not one to pass up an opportunity. The thousand year
old pack alpha is definitely a take charge type of guy. He sees Angela’s rescue
mission as the much needed opportunity to get her back into his life. He never
wanted her out of it. He searched for her for years. Knox isn’t above using his
knowledge of her body and desire to get what he wants.
I believe novella length books work best when the main
characters know each other prior to the beginning of the book. This allows for
the romance to move at the needed fast pace and for the quick love to still be
believable. Knox and Angela have some initial trust issues to work out, after
all she believes that he wants her vampire-self dead. The conflict is minimal,
not a lot of action. The romance and love story is the overall focus of Destined Mate.
Katie Reus also writes as Savannah Stuart. Be sure to check out the following links for both of her book lists.
I agree 100%. A previous relationship helps us avoid the much-dreaded insta-love that is such a turn off for me.
ReplyDeleteI read this novella a few days ago. I liked it & look forward to her full length book coming out in the spring.
I agree with both of you about the previous relationship. :)
ReplyDeleteGreat review, Vanessa. I'm putting this one the list.
