Jasmine is searching for a job, and this position as a nanny just seems like it landed in her lap. She is familiar with the Doctor, she assisted him with saving her former employee’s mate. She is soon caught up in such a whirlwind of events, not to mention her attraction to Eneko that everything changes in a heart beat. Not wanting to let the bad things that have been taking place happen anymore without a fight, she steps in.
Dr. Eneko Alava is being dealt some very difficult times. His mate, or at least the woman he was married to and had his two children with, has left not only him but the children. Topping that off the town is aware that he is a shifter and this is not welcome, and due to his being a shifter he is the target of crowds, chanting and something much worse. In for the fight of his life, she appears and things seem to feel good for him.
From the beginning there is a spark between these two, one that at the beginning they both try to fight, but fate always has a way of stepping in and putting things in the order and place fate wants, there will be no denying this attraction for long. Just as soon as having Jasmine watching his children, his place of work is being interrupted by anti-shifter protests and now a murder. The conviction falls on Eneko, and he didn’t do it. However, because the victim is a former employee and a leader of these protests he is the only suspect. Now he is without a job, and he has to ask Jasmine not to be the nanny for his kids right now. This is not going over well with fate’s plans. Once the situation is explained to Jasmine, the spark planted takes over and these two act upon their emotions and the chemistry. Things seem to settle briefly and then a bigger change happens.
There is council called in, lies being told, Jasmine and her sister defending Eneko, and at a high price. A piece of joy happens during this bleak time, a baby is born, and that baby holds a secret, a secret that Jasmine knows how it happened and pieces it together. Truth is revealed and justice is being served, however all that while there is a burning desire for Jasmine and Eneko that is not to be doused, no matter how other are trying. The way these two finally allow their true feelings to be revealed is sweet and carnal and everything in between and it all happens in between every bend in the road they go through.
Whoever said that Fate doesn’t know what she is doing has never had to deal with this much stacked against them and still come out the winner in love and a very happy ever after.
This was a great addition to the Fated Bears Series! It is full of suspense, dirty cops, and terrible Anti-Shifter humans. It is also full of family and love. It was an enjoyable read and I am looking forward to the next in the series!
I was gifted an ARC for an honest review. (Read 12/23/2017)
This is Eneko and Jasmine’s story . It starts off with Jasmine’s sister Lori having called her to come get her since she is drunk . Now from the first I wondered about this one but man am I so glad I kept reading !! In this story you will read about some of the hardships that the shifters come across since they have came out in the open to the public /humans . Eneko is a doctor that is working by himself in the clinic . Jasmine meets Eneko and his children for the first time and within minutes the drama and the story takes off !! Jasmine is to watch Eneko’s children and she starts within minutes to protect them . This is just the start of the trouble that is centered around the doc and his clinic . Now this story is not really hot and steamy but yes it does have a few love scenes . It is more about what is going on and standing by each other . Now this does not in anyway take away from this book it just makes the love you are reading about stronger . This is well written and I recommend it to all !!
