A house full of hotness


A house full of hotness 



Col:  His Destined Mate (Destined Mates book 1)
Published to Amazon on April 1, 2019
Author Georgette St. Clair and Mimi Ashdene




Ms St Clair is still one of my favorite authors. This book is completely out of her normal wheel house, and way longer than her normal books, but she and her writing partner did a fantastic job with it. I even enjoyed that she had her Facebook page followers help vote for the final cover. Yummy....ab porn. Sigh.

I know some of the reviews have not been favorable, but I think that’s because most of them were expecting a typical paranormal romance. What they got instead was a romantic sci-fi lover’s dream book instead. There was magic, a Goddess, an extended sleep, shifters, an evil ex-boyfriend, smashing support staff, romance, steamy scenes, and the girl meant to be the one. Oh, and did I mention a healthy love of Dungeons and Dragons by the rich benefactor?  Yep, a sci-fi lover’s dream. My first reading love was sci-fi (thank you Anne McCaffrey!), so it really seems like a perfect merging of the two genres for me.

Some might think Col is a little wishy washy for an alpha, especially when he is the second to the group’s leader, but I think it just adds to his appeal. I mean give the guy a break!  He’s still acclimating to this century, has some real jokers on his team, gets kidnapped and almost dissected, and finds the girl of his dreams. Besides, he found his alpha when he needed it most, securing the HEA I wasn’t sure he would get. I truly enjoyed this book and can’t wait to read the next one.

Official published review:
A house full of hotness 
Oh my!  This book is completely different from the author’s normal fair and I absolutely loved it!  The dynamics between all of the characters is a delicate weave that takes the entire book to build. With each new layer, the intensity of the story continues to build until the end where the pressure explodes and so much is revealed to us, including the lead into the next book. I love the hot time challenged warriors, the kind-hearted support staff, the loyal employees, the old-world magic, I even enjoyed the aloof evil villains and their abused sidekick. I was so glad that Col and Lilly found their HEA and I can’t wait to read the next book. 
5 stars 

Happy Reading
