Irrevocable by A. S. Roberts is a romance novel that is Book #3 in The Fated series. The story is about a young woman named Jasmin Carpenter, whose family is taken from their homes in England and placed on a cruise ship because her sister, Bella’s life and the lives of all of Bella’s family members have been threatened by the Antonescu Family. Bella had recently testified against the Antonescu Family in the British Courts, and somehow they had made bail and were now out for revenge against Bella by either hurting her or the people she loved.
John Edwards is the head of security for the Blackmore family, and is the best friend of Alex Blackmore. Alex Blackmore is providing his security team for the Carpenter family members because Bella is his wife, Frankie’s best friend, as well his brother, Nathan’s girlfriend. When John arrives on the cruise ship he has already decided that he and Jasmin should get married as soon as possible; as soon as he saw her picture he thought she was the most beautiful woman that he has ever seen, but he must convince Jasmin that this marriage is necessary to keep her and her family safe. Will Jasmin and John be able to make this “marriage” work?
I really enjoyed this book! I have read all three books in The Fated series so far and have loved all of them. You definitely should read them in order because it helps in the understanding of what is going on in the books, and I’m excited to read Book #4, too! The author, A. S. Roberts is really great at writing complex and interesting characters. I highly recommend this book to all lovers of romance!
Fabulous read, great plot and characters. Both have a sadness in their pasts that have influenced their lives in a negative way, this story pulls on the heartstrings as the pasts gradually unravel. There is some suspense but mostly this is about instant attraction, finding trust and love in tense conditions and while under threat. Gripping story of second chances, forgiveness and unconditional love.
I am absolutely loving this series. Irrevocable is the third book and although it can be read as a standalone, you are missing out by not reading the other books first, they are both five star reads!
John Edwards is head of security for the Blackmore family. His number one priority is his job and he prides himself in all he has achieved running his security business and keeping this high profile family safe. John has a past that ensures his emotions are kept closely guarded. He is very intense and he likes order and control at all times, keeping others at a distance too. Work leads him to guard Bella Carpenter’s family and it is under these circumstances that he meets Jasmin, who is Bella’s sister.
Jasmin also has a past that haunts her. Very few people know the details regarding why she keeps her heart locked away. She is happy with her simple life but when she meets John, you can see that sparks definitely fly between them.
What I really enjoyed about this book was seeing the characters change. John and Jasmin are two individuals who struggle to let others in and yet they know that for any relationship to develop between them and survive, both would have to open up to each other and share the darkest details of their pasts. Can they trust each other enough to do this? Do they love each other enough to want to try? You will have to read the book to find out if they can open up their old wounds. As you turn the pages you will find that this story will have you feeling so many emotions. There is suspense, heat, love, heartache, happiness and humour. It truly is a wonderful book to read.
Outstanding! The build up and anticipation of John and Jasmine’s story is everything and more! The descriptive writing had me from page one. The comedy, danger and romance enhanced the storyline and A. S. Roberts created a world where not everything seems as it appears.
Jasmine’s journey to discover true love was a joy to read while John’s troubles were felt deep. Can these lost souls find love? Will past secrets find them too difficult to overcome? Will family interfere? Book 3, Irrevocable, is an absolute must read in the Fated series!
