Review: Garrett's Destiny (Dark Protectors #15) by Rebecca Zanetti

 

Love and danger . . .

For most of his life, Vampire-Demon Garrett Kayrs, nephew of the King of the Realm, has carried a heavy mantle of responsibility with ease and control. Fate declared him heir to the throne, Fortune marked him with the power of the mysterious circle of Seven, and Chance promised more surprises to come. Nothing deterred him from his path. Until the nightmares began–agonizing dreams of having a female, the female, his mate, on the back of his motorcycle—only to have her torn away from his protection. He feels the menace around her, the danger she’s in, and he can’t rest until he finds her . . .

Duty and desire . . .

Destiny Applegate bears the weight of her name with a respectful balance of fear and purpose. She has been given some direction, but not nearly enough to truly understand her duty, what she was born to do. Even as a child, she had a sense of him. The him, her mate. A dream moment or two with him that might have saved her—or possibly cursed her. So now, when he finds her, she has no choice but to jump on the back of his bike and do her best to hold on until she discovers her path—even if that means ending his.

What I thought about Garrett's Destiny

I'm a new reader to this series. I have recently found and loved this author's romantic suspense titles, and so I thought I would check out her paranormal romantic suspense in this dark protectors series.   I was not disappointed.

 

Garrett Kayrs is a vampire-demon hybrid looking for his mate.  He has a vision of what this mate looks like and finds her in Destiny Applegate.  He doesn't quite understand why he's attracted to her as she is human.  Garrett is an alpha male character and he models the typical alpha behaviors if you like that sort of character.  He does have other redeeming qualities too.

 

Destiny is dealing with some health issues that have her grabbing every moment she can.  She recognizes Garrett from a dream and there's a mutual attraction, so she climbs on Garrett's motorcycle to experience what he has to offer.

I don't want to spoil anything but I can say that I did like the pace of the story (it moves!) and the twisty sort of plot which features some unexpected moments and situations.  I love that in any story and it was really terrific here.

While this was the first experience with this world, I'm totally hooked and want more!  The good news is that there are plenty of books in this world to get caught up with.  

There's plenty of steam and emotional content in this story which also made this reader happy.  While I think it would have helped to have more background in this world, I was able to read this standalone, although I would recommend getting invested in this series from the beginning.

Overall, this is an intriguing paranormal romantic suspense that I enjoyed very much. The characters are interesting, the pace of the plot moves quickly and it left me wanting more.
