CONTENT WARNINGS:
There are explicit sex scenes throughout the book, but book one is a bit more mild as far as sexual language and dirty talk. None of the scenes involve more than two people.
As the son of a powerful alpha werewolf, Ari Belisarius knew his arranged marriage would forge a crucial pack alliance. But when he locks eyes with his fated mate at a supernatural gathering, his world is turned upside down. His mate bond pulls him toward a forbidden she-wolf - while his Alpha ceremony looms mere weeks away.
Esyn has always lived on the fringes of pack life, finding solace behind her camera lens rather than in pack politics. As a low-ranking wolf, she's spent years blending into the background, never dreaming she'd catch the eye of the future Alpha. When their fated bond ignites, it awakens a fierce desire she never knew she possessed. But becoming Luna means stepping into a spotlight she's spent her whole life avoiding.
Pack politics collide with primal instincts as Ari and Esyn face an impossible choice. Voiding the marriage contract means war between the packs. Following their hearts means betraying Ari's family legacy. Denying a fated mate bond comes with its own devastating consequences. In a world where mate bonds are sacred but pack loyalty means everything, choosing between duty and destiny could cost it all.
A steamy wolf shifter romance full of forbidden love, supernatural politics, and primal passion. Perfect for readers who love spicy adult paranormal romance with complex pack dynamics, and fated mates.
Club Reader Reviews:
Holly
Suddenly Fated is a fun shifter romance. The characters are likeable and there are plenty of twists and turns to keep you wanting to read more. There was just the right amount of spice sprinkled throughout the book. However, I did find the transition between some scenes a little rushed. I felt like they could have been a little more fleshed out and I do wish there was a little more depth in the character development.
Overall, it was an enjoyable read and I would recommend it for anyone who enjoys shifter romances.

I enjoyed every bit of this read. The characters all interacted perfectly, and I never saw the twist coming! I made sure to inform my husband about every detail I enjoyed. Great Indie Author. I can't wait to dive into book two.
Lovers of werewolves will enjoy this debut novel by Haven Gwynn. There is plenty of plot twists to keep you on the edge of your seat and spicy romance that keeps it hot! I don’t typically enjoy werewolf novels, but this is one series I will continue to follow.

I was glad to see that this shifter romance was different from others I've read in the past. The Alpha MMC wasn't the sort to reject his fated mate and shun her before coming to his senses that he needed her. I was also glad to see character development from start to finish with the FMC rather than her just being some frail little thing.
My only critique is that I felt a couple chapters didn't connect to one another. I had to go back and make sure I didn't miss something in the previous chapter.
