REVIEW: Kara Millan is the lone survivor of the brutal
attack on her village ten years ago. Raised by the rebel resistance, she
is now a fierce warrior determined to bring harmony to the people of
Ourlane. Prince Darwu, the next in line to the throne, believes the
woman destined to be his soul mate was killed ten years ago when her
village was utterly destroyed. Believing the rebels to be responsible,
he’s been driven by the sole desire to bring the resistance to its
knees. When Kara is brought to him as a prisoner of war, they both
immediately feel the powerful, kinetic energy flowing between them.
These two adversaries must now learn to deal with their new roles as
destined lovers in order to heal their land.
DIVINE DESTINY is a captivating tale in which the action and romance
moves along at a quick pace. The story, a paranormal/erotic mix, is very
engaging and I enjoyed reading about the fictional world Ms. Bolton
created. Ourlane, its conflict and its people, is made real through the
author’s descriptive use of imagery, narrative, and dialogue. She does
an excellent job balancing all of the story elements, while bringing the
story to a satisfying conclusion.
Kara and Darwu are a very passionate couple, the sparks almost fly off
the page. Kara, a warrior in her own right, is the perfect companion for
the strong, alpha male Darwu. While they are both physically and
mentally strong, they balance each other with their difference in
philosophies and love they share for one another. Ms. Bolton does a good
job of allowing the characters to develop with the story. The secondary
characters really help lay the ground work and move the story along. The
love scenes are downright wicked.
In short, DIVINE DESTINY is a very quick, hot read and I recommend it to
all. But be warned, once you pick it up, you may not be able to but it
down. In fact, I finished it in about 3 hours.
