Review: Intended Strangers (Intended Fates, #2) by D. Lieber @AuthorDLieber


 Intended Strangers

Intended Fates, #2

by D. Lieber

Published: March 15, 2022

Publisher: Ink & Magick

Genre: Romance, Fae, Magic, Paranormal, Vampires, Werewolves, Shifters


Blurb:


A forsaken mate. A dangerous scent. Can a heartbroken werewolf save one small human before her life is cut short?


Werewolf Rowan didn’t think his life could get any worse. His promised mate abandoned him three years ago. But as bad as that was, now even his memories of her are fading, and he knows only agony.

Yuti is just a human art student living a normal life. Werewolves, vampires, fae? She doesn’t believe in any of it. She’s blissfully ignorant of all the things that stalk her.

Rowan has never gotten along with Yuti, but when she comes into the café smelling like vampire, he needs to get close to her fast to find out what’s going on. Yuti has no idea why the local café’s barista is suddenly interested in all aspects of her life, but he’s getting a little too pushy for her liking.

Will this fiercely independent human let Rowan protect her, or is it already too late?

My Review:

For me, Intended Strangers started off with a blast and never let up from beginning to end. It has been a while since I have read a book with werewolves and vampires, well, not including the first book Intended Bondmates in the Intended Fates Series, of course. Oh, man I didn’t know how much I missed them until now with Intended Strangers.

While I loved reading Intended Bondmates I do believe that I loved Intended Strangers way more. I think it was getting to read Rowan and Yuti’s story. I liked that Rowan wanted or felt that he should protect Yuti from the stranger that kept lurking around her. Rowan had no idea who this stranger was all he knew was that it was a vampire. And with Yuti being human that could turn out to be disastrous indeed.

Rowan makes himself Yuti’s protector. He begins to follow her around keeping an eye on her. Rowan and Yuti soon become fast friends. It is not long before the sparks start to fly.

Rowan has a past. He once was in love with a beautiful woman until his heart was broken. Can Rowan and Yuti ever be more than just friends? Who is this vampire that seems to be stalking Yuti? Is this vampire a stranger to Yuti? Or does she know him or her? Will Rowan be able to find this vampire before it is too late for Yuti?

Rowan and Yuti have found themselves a place in my heart. I am not quite sure what it is with these two other than maybe their outlook on life. They both seem to have loving and kind hearts and sweet personalities. I can’t wait to read more in this series, Intended Fates. I can’t wait to see whose story and what the author has waiting for us in the book. If it is better than Intended Strangers then it will be awesome!

I definitely recommend Intended Strangers to all fans of magic, vampires, werewolves, and fae. Grab your copy of Intended Strangers today!


Be sure and check out book one in the Intended Fates Trilogy!

Author Bio:

D. Lieber has a wanderlust that would make a butterfly envious. When she isn’t planning her next physical adventure, she’s recklessly jumping from one fictional world to another. Her love of reading led her to earn a Bachelor’s in English from Wright State University.

Beyond her skeptic and slightly pessimistic mind, Lieber wants to believe. She has been many places—from Canada to England, France to Italy, Germany to Russia—believing that a better world comes from putting a face on “other.” She is a romantic idealist at heart, always fighting to keep her feet on the ground and her head in the clouds.

Lieber lives in Wisconsin with her husband (John) and cats (Yin and Nox).
