One shifter. One mate. No exceptions.When dragon shifter, Declan Sinclair, was asked to travel to Earth to heal someone, he thought it would be an easy in—easy out affair. Boy had he been wrong. Not the healing part, but what happened during his one-hour visit: he met Chelsea McKinnon. The bad part? His body had exploded with need like he’d never experienced before, which was wrong on so many … which was wrong on so many levels. Declan already had a mate. Sure she’d died in the line of battle, but everyone was aware of the golden rule: one shifter, one mate, no exceptions. So what the hell was going on?
The moment wolf shifter, Chelsea laid eyes on Declan, she knew the two of them belonged together. She was so convinced they were fated for each other that she gave up her life on Earth and moved to Tarradon. So what if Fate said they couldn’t be together. She’d find a way. Too bad the journey wasn’t anything like she thought it would be. Instead, it was dangerous and challenging, but oh, so hot.

I voluntarily offered to review this book with no obligations and my opinions are honest
The characters + storytelling were very captivating
Declan already had a mate, and she was killed in combat.
Chelsea knew Declan was her mate as soon as she scented him.
Can someone have 2 mates?
If not, why does Declan feels the pull so strongly.
Now he has to decided if he will give love a second chance.
It has all the ingredients that you need for an awesome book!
Chelsea has come to Tarradon because she senses that the dragon shifter, Declan, she met on earth is her mate. But when she arrives she learns that on Tarradon it;s one mate is all any shifter is allowed by Fate. She is devastated by this and tries to rein in her emotions. Declan in the meantime is also feeling the pull to Chelsea and is just as dumbfounded and upset also. His dragon keeps telling him she is his mate but it;s one mate for one lifetime. When she decides to stay, she finds a job at a newly opened shelter. Declan and her decide to be adults and friends with benefits. But the more they are around each other the more they need to be with each other. Then two things happen that change their destinies.
WOW! An amazing story of two people who persevere through so much angst and too many well meaning friends and family to find the path they are to take.
Fantastic story and read!!

Can Fate be Wrong?
When Finn Mckinnon’s twin Chelsea got a scent of Declan her wolf stood up and started wagging her tail helter skelter, her mate! But Declan acted as if nothing, not even a goodbye 1 hour later… Maybe he hadn’t scented her after all, he was kind of occupied helping heal her friend Ronan from a terrible curse that prevented him from healing….So what’s a girl to do, why go after her mate in Tarradon. Too bad the Fates say that a shifter can only have one mate in his lifetime cause Declan already had his shot. Doesn’t mean a girl can’t keep trying.
Declan Sinclair Guardian and Healer has thrown himself into work ever since his mate was killed in combat 3 years ago. He enjoys overseeing the mines these days, keeps him from thinking too much. But when he is called to earth to help heal a friend of his sister’s mate, his world is turned on its axis because it’s impossible to fell the mate pull again, isn’t it?
That’s what Fate says, so why does this she wolf have him all out of sorts? Now she is in his home of Tarradon and he can’t avoid the attraction, but why would fate be so cruel as to condemn him to suffer a second time when he loses her to her true mate.
Read all the trials and tribulations these two love birds must endure to be together even if it’s for while.
There is a lot of twist and turns and at first or can be confusing. However as the story unfolds and the Dragon is introduced and he meets his mate things heat up and get real interesting really fast. This book kept me hooked from start to finish .

This story in the series has a twist to it. With shifters only allotted one soulmate and Declan already having found his but lost her in battle meeting Chelsea was extremely confusing. She felt he was her mate, but only until she found out about his previous mate.
Chelsea follows her brother, Finn to the other realm in order to follow her heart. Though she knows Declan is not her mate she does not regret her decision as she finds herself in the middle of a mystery working in an animal shelter where unusual animals are being conveniently found. As Declan and Chelsea’s attraction grows they decide not to fight it but when Chelsea finds out that there is something more dangerous going on at the shelter, Declan questions the one mate to shifter.
Having an HEA with some characters being built up in order for the next book set up, I recommend this nice read.

A really good shifter romance.
I really am enjoying this series! Each book just takes you further into the storyline and it just keeps getting better.
This book is about Declan, a dragon shifter from an alternate realm, and Chelsea, a wolf shifter from Earth. In this storyline reality, there are portals to and from each realm and some from “Tarradon” can make portals, as they need them. It’s a kind of angsty romance because Declan has already had his mate and she passed away a few years ago, so he (and everyone else) believes that he can’t have another mate as that is just the way fate is for shifters in both realms. But that doesn’t explain the deep pull of emotions they both feel for each other. It’s a really well-developed story that is full of family, explosive passion, suspense, and love.
I started reading this book thinking I would read a couple of chapters and then finish it the next night… I honestly couldn’t put this one down until I finished it! It was that good! It sucked me in and took me on a ride along with all the characters and left me sad that it was over.

I love the Hidden Realms series. Each book is full of great characters, a beautiful world to explore, drama, mysteries and romance. This book about Declan Sinclair, a dedicated and talented healer. Declan is a loner, he lost his mate years ago in a battle. Dragon shifters get one mate and one mate only. He is asked to travel to earth through a portal to help heal someone. He has a chance meeting with Chelsea McKinnon, a wolf shifter. They both are immediately attracted to each other, they could be fated mates. But wait, Declan has had his and knows that it is not possible for him despite the overwhelming attraction.
Chelsea’s bother, Finn is mated to Declan’s sister, Kaleena. Chelsea has been laid off so she travels to Tarradon to see her brother, have a mini vacation, maybe find a job and seek out Declan. Chelsea feels the mating bond and is persistent. Declan is interested and Chelsea will take what she can get.
Chelsea gets a job at an animal shelter. Something is not right, animals are being stored in cages in a back room and some a shifters. Some animals were stolen. Can Chelsea solve this mystery? Can she and Declan take a chance on each other?
This was a very good book. You can read this as a stand alone but your reading experience will be richer if you start with book 1 in this series: Awakened by Flames.
Another great book in the Hidden Realms of Silver Lake series. Dragon shifter, Declan Sinclair and wolf shifter Chelsea McKinnon’s story, had me turning pages I had to know what was going to happen. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
The storyline was good and the characters were well detailed which kept my attention throughout the entire book! I look forward to reading more from this author!
This book kept me on the edge of my seat almost the entire time.
So much happened to Chelsea it was a wonder how she dealt with it all. It was emotional to read how while Chelsea and Declan’s animals say that they are mates but the golden rule of mating says differently.
I received an advanced copy of this book and am voluntarily leaving an unbiased, honest review.
“Destiny in Flames” is another fantastic page-turner that grabbed me from the start & had me glued to my seat not wanting to stop reading! I can always count on a fresh new story-line, and awesome relatable characters that jump off the pages. Plus, get ready for a roller-coaster ride, amazing descriptions with twists & turns for some of the best PNR suspense around! Oh and make sure to wear gloves ‘cause of the smoking hot romance 😉 I honestly recommend this and all of Vella Day’s books to those 18+ adult fans of fiction. As usual, I can’t wait for more, but I will 😀
This was such a wonderful read. A shifter romance that offers plenty of drama, angst, heat and danger. The chemistry between Declan and Chelsea is scorching and their attraction magnetic. A excellent read that offers a very emotional story that is sure to melt your heart.
What a great book! I loved the characters and story line the author brings to this story. It’s filled with tons of action and adventure as well as surprises and deep emotions. I loved reading Chelsea and Declan’s story and their love for one another . It’s well written,moves quickly and smoothly and had me captivated from start to finish. Highly recommend reading.
I am volunteering to leave a review for an ARC of this book. All opinions in this review are my own and freely given.

Can you say WOW!!!. You know I loved the Silver Lake series but let me tell you I love this series just as much and this book has been my favorite so far.
Ever since Declan Sinclair was introduced early on, I have had a slight crush on him..LOL Okay lets just way he stoled my heart. There has always been something about him that I have found sexy. I love how caring and protective he is. In this book we get to learn a lot more about him.
Now let me tell you one of the things that I loved about his book. This is about second chances. Picture how dark it would be to think that you could never have the “one”. Declan has some pain that he is carrying around and Chelsea McKinnon is that one healing peace that will help him overcome. I just love that about his story.
I loved how much Chelsea and Declan had in common when it came to their special gifts. I found this was one of the many things that made them perfect for each other.
I loved Chelsea’s don’t give up attitude over the situation she was faced with. She did not care that Declan was out of her reach. She was determined to make the most of the time she could have with him, to take what he would give.
The author found a way to reach way down deep and touch your soul when you are reading this book. There is no way a person can not read Chelsea and Declan’s story and not be moved and touched in some way.
Chelsea will discover something that will put her life in danger and Declan will do what ever it takes to be there for her and keep her safe. I think that is the best way i could put that with out giving to much away. There are a few surprises in this story. This is a story well worth reading and so happy I got a chance to read the book.
This book was excellent. It has action and adventure. It has steamy scenes and a heartwarming love scenes. It has conflicts and struggles. I enjoyed the characters and the storyline.
