Cain
Thaler’s lived more than four hundred years fighting rogue
immortals, avenging the family he’d lost. It’s all he’s needed,
all he’s wanted. That changes the fateful day he lays eyes on his
fated mate.
Olivia
Waden, a werewolf princess, is nothing like him. Unwilling to give
her up, he sets a plan into motion: ignoring his need to claim her,
he befriends her. Despite Cain's best efforts at friendship, Olivia
has fallen hard for him. It is him she dreams of, him she wants as
her fated mate. But she is sure he doesn't feel the same way. In way
over her head, she has no option but to run away from the only man
she's ever loved.
Will
Cain find Olivia before it's too late or will their differences tear
them apart?
“What?”
She managed the strength to mumble.
He
drew closer, pressing his chest against hers. The heat of his body
caressing hers, she grew warm with craving. Helplessly, her gaze
drifted to his thick full lips. Her mind wandered. What she’d give
for a kiss, a single mind-blowing kiss?
Cheeks
flushing, her gaze darted toward his again. “Why are you…” Her
body’s desires overwhelming her, she gasped for breath.
“Why
didn’t you tell me you were leaving?”
He
wasn’t just angry. He was livid, and he was livid with her because
she’d left.
She
didn’t know what to say, had no excuse, not one she could tell him
anyway.
Shutting
his eyes firmly, his anger intensified, coiling rapidly against her
until she not only felt it but tasted it. Still, she wasn’t afraid.
With each passing moment, all she felt was heat, his and hers, and
how badly she wanted him.
“Answer
me,” he demanded harshly. “Tell me why you left without telling
me!”
His
tone startling her, she jolted against him, her body rubbing his. A
desire so powerful rippled through
her
and spiraled inside her, pooling liquid between her legs. It clouded
her every thought and every action, so as she stared straight into
his eyes, she couldn’t remember what he’d said.
Clenching
his jaw, he ground his teeth in anger, so close to losing it.
“Olivia, tell me!”
Sheppard
understands the reader and gives no reasons in this awesome book for the reader to become
bored at all! I rate this book with a full five stars and look
forward to reading more of Sheppard's work in the near future. I
recommend to all that love an excellent love story, powerful sex and most
of all a storyline that keeps you going!
* I was given Awaiting Fate in exchange for an honest review. All opinions are mine and I have not been compensated for them.
J.L.
Sheppard was born and raised in Miami, Florida where she still lives
with her husband and son.
As
a child, her greatest aspiration was to become a writer. She read
often, kept a journal and wrote countless poems. She attended Florida
International University and graduated in 2008 with a Bachelors in
Communications. During her senior year, she interned at NBC Miami,
WTVJ. Following the internship, she was hired and worked in the News
Department for three years.
It
wasn’t until 2011 that she set her heart and mind into writing her
first completed novel, Demon King’s Desire, which was published in
January of 2013.
Besides
reading and writing, she enjoys traveling and spending quality time
with family and friends.
