He asked me to love him, so I engraved his name onto my heart.He craved my loyalty, so I let him feast on my soul.I wanted a husband, but he gave me a monster.So, I made it my pet. The lines between what was real and what wasn’t were blurred.Our story was a lie.Until now.
Crowned by Fate totally destroyed my emotions but it’s hands down the most twisted, brilliant and mind-blowing dark romance I’ve ever read so far.
Isa and Bryant story took me on the wild ride through the maze of lies, betrayals and manipulations and I was astounded by their story. I totally had no freaking idea how they will get out of their mess.
You won’t be certain a damn thing in this part of the story and everything you knew from the previous one will fall apart and be crashed at your feet. Amo Jones like a puppet master will skillfully played with your emotions by twisting the entire story, you never be able to figure it out.
What you can be assured of is that you will be hanging on the emotional edge with your eyes wide open and trembling heart because you are going to feel this story with every part of your body.
Author brings the darkness in the unique and sophisticated style and manner.
Crowned by Fate is the type of the story that you can’t wait to find out all the answers to but at the same time don’t want it let go and part ways with characters.
I need to confess that I’ve got a thing for bad boys and Bryant took a first place in my book-boyfriends ranking.
He was still calculating, intimidating and dangerous like untamed beast but there was even more of him I loved. When he enters the room in the story, my every nerve stand on ends. Everything around him screams power, domination and his presence near Isa always caused goosebumps on my skin.
Isa is my favorite female anti-hero, reckless and feisty to the core.
Fate wasn’t on her side but she was a fighter and could handle it all.
Even thought she never experienced parental love, she was ready to fight for those who she loved the most until the last breath.
I loved how they’ve fueled each other. Anger blended with passion, burning down everything what was around them. Their devotion, lust and desire and deep feeling were undeniable. You could feel their sexual tension with every page turn but their relationship cracked my heart open so many times.
When I thought Amo pulled all aces from her sleeve and nothing will surprise me anymore, BAM, she dropped another twist of action and my jaw hit the floor in shock.
Entire Crowned duet is a dark masterpiece and one of those stories that will stay with you, imprinted in you mind heart and soul, forever.

This story blew my mind in epic proportions. The intricate plot weaves a sequence of events that were just WTF! Oh no he didn’t, he did, how could he.
Bryant and Isa’s story comes blaring through the pages in full color. The push/pull, love/hate relationship that they have is toxically beautiful. It is just so, them.
Amo Jones has one wicked, dark mind and I just loved the crazy journey that Amo gave us with Bryant and Isa. I was totally captivated. It’s a mind bender that devoured me whole, spat me out and I loved every word.
It is the uniqueness of the stories that make Jones a one click author for me.
Totally captivating and mesmerising, this book has it all to satisfy your dark soul. This book cannot be read as a standalone. You need to read Crowned by Hate first.
Amo Jones has done a mindblowing job with this book. Whenever I feel that I know what’s going to happen it turns out to be the opposite.
All I can say is Wow. This is one twisted, suspenseful mess with your mind book. I loved it read it in one day. The twist and turns the suspense the secrets will keep you reading. I mean Bryant is one hot alpha male, and Isa is one tough resilient women. Even Devon is hot. This is a must read!! ~Wonderful World of Books
Say WHAT?!?! I mean, really, what just happened!? I’m completely stunned with the way Amo Jones is able to put a story together. The angst is high, the shock value is… OFF THE CHARTS! This ending is just what we all wanted but had no idea how we’d get there. You can always count on Amo Jones to take us on this twisted F#cked up ride.
Put aside every single thing you’re expecting and thinking you know… you don’t! Oh and if you haven’t read Crowned of Hate, DO NOT read Crowned of Fate… you will hate yourself a bit if you accidentally stumble upon book 2 without reading the first part of the duet. Start there and have your mind BLOWN! In the absolute BEST ways… you know, you’ll hate the author a bit, it’ll get sexy AF and hella hot, and you’ll be sitting there with confusion on your face while drooling a bit. But you’ll love every single second! I did! I kind of need them to hit audio form so I can relive the entire duet via narration.
I received an ARC of this book with the hope that I would leave an Unbiased Opinion. I was not required to leave a review, positive or otherwise, and my opinions are just that… my opinions.
Crowned by brilliance! 5 stars
Wow what did I just read?! How do I even write a satisfactory review for this book, but I will try! You must read Crowned by Hate first. Just the preface made me think, “What in the world…” Then the first chapter had me tearing up, and I thought,”Here we go on this roller-coaster ride.” Bryant broke my heart, but he eventually put it back together. He was still as cold, calculating, controlling as ever, but his love for Isa was as fierce as ever too. Isa went through so much that I don’t know how she survived, but she has my admiration and respect. There are so many twists and turns that it was literally mind-boggling but riveting to read! Isa and Bryant had to fight a war to get their happy ending, and they were both willing to fight to the death to reach it. Their war and love was magnificent to behold. I cried at the end – tears of joy for Isa and Bryant, tears of sadness that this book was over, and tears for the brilliance that was this book and this author’s ability to weave a story and to evoke emotions. If you can’t tell, I love and highly recommend this book/duet and author!
*I received an advanced copy of this ebook for my honest review.*
“The only thing you gave me in life, is hate.”
Explosive. Passionate. A ride of emotional torture.
Amo is and will always be one of my favorite authors. Her writing is dark and twisted. The characters are always insanely hot and the stories are always one giant mind game.
After I read book one, I was really confused.. Which is typical for any Amo cliffhanger, but the one that ended Crowned by Hate had me having to reread the ending over and over again and I still had no idea what happened. It went from 0-100-0-762. It was a roller coaster ride to say the least. But I was hit with an uncomfortable case of whiplash that I was not okay with.
But after finishing Crowned by Fate, EVERYTHING MAKES SENSE. All the questions I had were answered, the reasons for everybody’s decisions were justified, and Bryant and Isa were still as explosive as ever.
Now that the duet is complete and you can binge both books, I definitely recommend this series. The twists and turns will leave you with motion sickness. The steam is off the charts. The characters and their story is epic!
“Bryant is everything I ever wanted wrapped in everything that I can’t handle.”
Absolute brilliance by Amo Jones! Crowned by Fate was deliciously twisted and every bit as messed up as Crowned by Hate!
I never expected the twists and turns Amo took me on! Everything I thought I knew from book 1 was completely blown to oblivion! You think you know…. but you have no idea. I really didn’t think it could get anymore twisted than the way book 1 ended, but WOW. I don’t know why I was surprised when Amo to a bomb to that and blew it out of the water! Hell, it even starts with a mind fuck that you didn’t see coming! And it just never lets up… they kept on coming right to the very end!
Bryant and Isa are hands down one of my FAVORITE book couples ever! The Crowned Duet will forever be a favorite of mine and book 2 has been added right next to book 1 on TalkNerdy2me’s Must Reads .
Crown of Fate is the 2nd book and the highly anticipated conclusion in the Crowned duet and I was hooked on this story. From beginning to end it was one twist and turn after the other and I was consumed wanted to know more. Isa and Bryant were two complex individuals who were perfect for each other, however the author took us on quite a journey before their HEA. The story will have your head spinning, it will play with your emotions, and it will shock you speechless. It included romantic suspense and enemies to lovers tropes into this layered, well written story. This dark and twisted romance was fast-paced, unpredictable and will take you on a wild ride with all its secrets, lies, deceptions and mistrust. I enjoyed it and would recommend it to all lovers of dark romance.
Crowned by Fate is Book #2 in the Crowned Duet. You must read Crowned By Hate first. This is a dark, twisted romance with thriller and crime elements.
OMG! What?! Holy wow! What did I just read?!?!?! Amo Jones keeps us on the edge of our seat and guessing. There are so many tangled webs of lies, deceit, and betrayal. I think I’ve just been put through the emotional wringer! The push and pull and the incredibly sizzling hot and sexy, steamy goodness between the main characters is off the charts!
Suffice to say, my mind was blown. There are some serious twists and turns, and I did not see the ending coming. I was sucked in and wasn’t spit out until the end. I am still reeling. If you like dark, gritty, intense, and twisted, this is perfection! I highly recommend reading it.
****ARC generously provided in exchange for an honest review.****
At the end of Crowned by Hate, I had many questions and very few answers, and while I was more than cussing out the author, I also knew there would be, at some point, all the information I needed to understand the tangled web that had been constructed in book one and that it would be unwound in a way that put the pieces of a very complex puzzle back together, perhaps a little bent and broken, but whole, nevertheless.
There is nothing sane or rational about Bryant and Isa’s story, and rightly so, because the complexity of their characters as well as the conflicts that surround them, that always threaten to destroy everything they’ve worked to build, isn’t concerned with making things easy on them, which means that a straight path to a modicum of happiness isn’t offered; in fact, fate – the fickle bitch that it is – refuses to allow these two characters what they want…what they perhaps even need without some reassurances that they’re strong enough, capable enough, to make their own way, despite the chaos that will, no doubt, fight against them and take them so far to the edge that they can barely hold on, but they must, because weathering the maelstrom that surrounds them is the only way to take back what belongs to them – each other.
And that means that it’s in the nonsensical, the insane, the dangerous, and the hatred that a battle must be waged, and it won’t be until the very end, until all the secrets are known, until Bryant and Isa’s true natures are unraveled and the king and his queen will overcome hatred and even fate to be crowned together.
Amo Jones is beyond deviant and diabolical; she’s a dark romance writer who crafts stories that slowly and meticulously turn sane readers into anything but…but it’s within those pages…within her characters…within the darkened corners of her worlds that we get sucked in and refuse to be released until we’ve had our fill in a way that satisfies until her next book is released.
4.5 Poison Apples
I never know what I’m going to get when I start an Amo novel, and that right there is one of my favorite things about them. She has you guessing throughout; always one step ahead keeping you on your toes and in a constant state of trepidation wondering what’s coming around the corner. Amo’s stories are not just books, every single one is a mind-altering experience, that should not be missed.
. .
If you’ve been waiting for this like I have, no worries it was sooo worth it!! This duet has soared to one of my all-time favorites. Isa and Bryant are Pure Freaking Fire. These two are so combustible I’m surprised my Kindle did not burst into flames. Both of these characters are so strong on their own but when you get them together there is nothing that they can’t do. I floved the connection and dynamic between Isa and Bryant it was so intense and visceral. You could feel their connection bleed from the pages and saturate you in the force that is them.
, , .
Isa has gone through a lot from book one to all the powerful and soul crushing revelations in this book. But through all of the damage done to her she is still strong. She exudes this power that is so tangible you can almost feel it. Yes, she gone through more than most would be able to survive but Isa’s savagery pulls her through and leaves her where she belongs right on the throne. She bows to no one and nothing and it’s that bravery that has you falling in love with this Savage Queen!
’ .
What’s there to say about Bryant other than he is a BEAST and I’m obsessed with him. This man is not in any way soft, but he has small moments with Isa where you can glimpse the slightest softness to him. It may only be for less than a second but it’s those tiny seconds that have you bowing down to this ruthless beast of a man and submitted to any and all that he desires.
Bryant Royal is the epitome of the Ruthless King in a Great Suit that will slice you open and bleed out every dark and depraved fantasy that you didn’t even realize you had.
.
Amo’s writing has this way of seeping into your blood slowly and effortlessly becoming a part of your very marrow. Each new book and each new world she creates has you completely an utterly enthralled. With expert precision she can drag all your deviant fantasies straight from your soul, leaving you drained but completely sated. This Duet is a MUST READ. Best of 2020.
Crowned by Fate by Amo Jones is book Two in the Crowned Series. This continues the story of Bryant Royal and Isa Johnson, so you should read the previous book ‘Crowned by Hate’ first before starting this one. This does pick up where we were left off in their story. This book doesn’t take you down a easy road just like the previous book. There are a lot of turns that keep us wondering what is next. If you like me like the dark romance with the hard alpha hero who has just as strong heroine to start to keep him on his toes then this book is for you. It is a dark read so it may not be for everyone but for me I enjoyed their story.
I have been impatiently waiting for this story since the first time I read Crowned by Hate when it was first published. I have said for years that CBH was this authors best work/favourite of mine….
…. UNTIL THIS BOOK!!!!
This book was everything CBH was times a thousand. It was everything we have been waiting for and more. Amo loves to screw with her readers minds but this series was something else.
From cover to cover I was enthralled and unable to look away from the madness happening between the pages. You thought your head exploded with the first book… Wait till you read this one…
Amo Jones is my top must read everything by/unicorn author and Crowned by Hate and Crowned by Fate will prove to you why. Even though they were written years apart, they flow so seamlessly together that you don’t realize that the author has been messing with your mind the whole time. Good luck staying sane while you flick back and forth, not wanting to believe what you just read.
This review may be vague on detailing but that’s because anything and everything I talk about could be construed as a spoiler,that much happens in this book. Do yourself a favour and one click immediately after reading Crowned by Hate. Be tortured with the rest of us. You won’t regret it and would definitely be missing out if you don’t.
The book fans have been waiting for is finally here. Sit back, grab a drink and buckle up for the crazy conclusion to Isa and Bryant’s story! Note – Crowned by Hate must be read before this!
Amo goes all guns blazing from the start and at only 5% in she was already playing with my mind and I was completely sucked in and I’m glad I had nothing planned for the day as there was no way I was able to put this down.
Isa has one goal in mind, revenge on her father and Bryant and the crazy ride that follows with twists and turns will swallow you whole.
Like book one, I loved Isa. She’s sassy, confident, has attitude for days and totally owns it. I smiled so much reading this and it was all down to her and her brand of craziness. I also loved her recklessness and treasured her vulnerability.
Bryant, Isa’s strong protector. I love how his strong dominant persona leaps from the page. He’s smart, calculated and always 10 steps ahead of Isa, even when she’s trying to be smart and play him.
With this book, Amo gives us another hero and heroine to fall in love with. I love how she creates her H&h, making them all unique but equally dark and delicious. I love her mind, how her stories evolve and how much her words pull you into her story. Another must-read!

What a twisted, thrilling, crazy, but entrancing second half of this duet?!
This duet grabbed ahold of me and didn’t let go. If you are a fan of dark romances, this is a must read! Isa and Bryant are a unique, special, kind of crazy and I loved how dedicated and possessive they were with each other. As soon as I thought I knew something, I would be proven wrong and I loved every second of it.
I can’t believe that I just found this author this year. I am obsessed with her writing style and how immersed in the story I feel after just one chapter. This story is filled with twists and turns making it an amazing roller coaster of a story.
Grateful to have received a complimentary ARC copy to honestly review.
5 HEAD SPINNING STARS!! My head is still spinning with all the twisted and turns that Amo Jones takes us on. Isa and Bryant story continues and so memorable you will never forget. This will be one of my favorite duets ever. This is a must read, so download and enjoy.
“Loving you is a constant battle, but it’s a war I’m willing to die for.”
Crowned by Fate has been one of my most anticipated releases for the past three years! If you’ve read book one, then you know Amo left us on one of the most jaw-dropping cliffhangers in the history of cliffhangers. I have never repeated the actual phrase “WTF!” as much as I did after finishing that book.
Well…I’m ecstatic to report, I survived Crowned by Fate! Barely. Isa and Bryant’s story continued to be a dark, twisted, mind-bending ride I wished it would be. With their story, the best thing I could do was sit back and enjoy every morsel of information I was fed. Because even if I thought I knew what was going on, I learned I knew absolutely nothing at all. And that’s why I have so much love for this duet. It left me reeling and questioning every event, situation, possibly, and person. It had me on the edge of my seat from beginning to end.
“Loving you is a constant battle, but it’s a was I’m willing to die for…”
Dark, twisted and intoxicating!!! This book is mind-blowing, you have no idea the ride you’re going to have reading this one. The confusion, the drama, the love, the passion…it’s all there.
Everything Isa thought was real, is a lie; and now there’s no one she can truly trust, she feels alone, no one came for her, not even him…
Bryant is every powerful force you feel when he enters a room, but he’s got his heart and soul in only one woman, but that woman is troubled and he’s not sure he can take the fall with her.
I really advice you to take advantage that both books are available NOW and read them one after the other, you might think they are two different books but that’s the beauty behind this dark and twisted story, you have no idea what you’re about to experience.
10 CROWNED STARS
To say the second book in this duet has been anticipated is an understatement. It has been more than 2 years since I read the first one and the I remember the intense feelings it provoked.
Before I start a new book by Amo I get into a zone where I psych myself up for the inevitable ride into the unknown. I love that I never know what to expect that I can never predict where she will take the story. The conclusion to Bryant and Isa’s story couldn’t have been more thrilling and twisted. Trust me everything you thought you knew is about to be turned on it’s head. The secrets and betrayals come faster than a freight train. The sex and the passion are hotter than a red hot poker. Amo doesn’t write weak women and now we see the power of Isa and I’m claiming her as my girl crush. Bryant is he a clever manipulator or man irrevocably in love with his wife? I dont care because I adored every part of this dominant man.
I am in awe of Amo’s storytelling talent she creates worlds and characters that delight me every single time. Another huge thumbs up from me.
