Synopsis

Marry Me! Cara Paulsen does not give up easily. A scientist and a single mother, she's used to fighting for what she wants, keeping a cool head, and doing whatever it takes to protect her daughter Janie. But "whatever it takes" has never before included a shotgun wedding to a dangerous-looking stranger with an attitude problem. 

Or Else! Sure, the mysterious Talen says that he's there to protect Cara and Janie. He also says that he's a three-hundred-year-old vampire. Of course, the way he touches her, Cara might actually believe he's had that long to practice. . .


Review

Cara’s life was normal she’s living the quiet life of a plant-scientist and a single mom to her daughter Janie. When suddenly everything is changed Talen busts into her house taking her and Janie into custody before his enemies can get her. The only way that he will be able to keep her safe is to marry her and mate with her. Both Cara and Janie aren't your typical humans they each have their own telepathic gifts which make them perfect mates for the vampires. At the insistence of Janie who can see the future Cara deals with what she has to in order to protect her daughter.

Talen knows that Cara is destined to be his make when he is branded on his hand after touching her arm. Talen isn't a human like Cara he’s a vampire but not the typical type he can stand the sun, he only drinks blood during fighting and sex. However even though both Janie and Cara are safe with Talen’s family she still has to worry about her older sister who’s out there avoiding the kurjans. Together they will have to save Emma as well as keep her daughter safe and learn to deal with Talen.

Well this one is tough for me. I think the idea of the vampires and Kurjans put’s a unique spin on vampires since there are thousands of vampire romances. I also liked Cara as a character even better because she was a scientist who wasn't strong and bad-ass but it didn't stop her. I had a few issues with Talen but I think it’s more of a personal preference he frustrated me when he called Cara Mate or wife it sounds so primitive. I admit he’s hundreds of years old but jeeze get with the times. I think the series has a lot of potential and I plan to continue because even though Talen has a few Neanderthal issues it was still a great story. It’s been ages since I've read a true paranormal romance however I really enjoyed the story. Fated is filled with action, steamy sex and romance what’s not to love. 
4 out of 5 stars
