Sometimes fate gets it all wrong.Zoey Kent has lived with that fact ever since she turned eighteen and learned that the man she loved could never be hers. He’s a born shifter, a wolf, and she’s a mere human. Fate doesn’t care if on paper they’re a perfect pair. She isn’t his fated mate and she’s resigned herself to the knowledge that someday, she’ll have to watch Michael mate with another. It’s … another. It’s never crossed her mind that there might be someone else out there for her, that she would be the one to mate another, to choose another over everything she’s ever known or wanted.
Sometimes fate gets it all right.
Rafe Hudson left his pack behind years ago. Physically and mentally scarred from an attack that left his parents and twin dead, he walked away from his responsibilities as Alpha. He never intended to return but lone wolf or not, he can’t leave Michael open to an attack he’s learned is coming for his only brother. What he didn’t know was that going home would mean scenting his mate, the one person in the world that could make him whole again, that could give him everything he thought he’d lost. His pack, his home and his family.
But fate always has a plan.
There’s no way Michael’s brother is her future, is there? Just like there’s no way that the girl his brother has loved since they were kids, was always meant to be his, right?
Only fate knows why they were brought together but there is one thing for sure, the sparks between Zoey and Rafe are undeniable. The bond between them is unbreakable. And together… they’ll change the face of the pack forever.

The first book in the ‘Fated Mates Duet’ is an emotionally gripping read that captures readers’ hearts and refuses to let go. The characters are strong, compelling and easily draw readers into their story and the chemistry between Zoey and Kent sizzles with heat and electrical current that readers can practically feel leaping from the pages. But the relationship has a major obstacle and the first half of this story is a suspenseful but mostly emotional turbulent read as Zoey, Rafe and Michael tries to come to terms with the hand they been dealt by Fate.
The plot starts off with a steady pace and picks up in the second part of the book as suspense, tension and adrenaline pumping excitement builds with an enemy attacking the pack and surprising twists that also leads up to the second book in this duet. The author created a wonderful setting and very suspenseful situation that grabs readers’ attention and ensures that the want to know the whole story, so they will definitely want to read the next one.
“Unbreakable Bond” Is A Great Series Beginning That Surely Doesn’t Disappoint!!
She Grew up with Him & thought they had an “Unbreakable Bond,”
But FATE had other ideas, & when She turned 18 they didn’t BOND,
Which meant the “Unbreakable Bond” between them…
Could only be FriendShip, As SomeOne would be His MATE~
NOT A Human like HerSelf!
Then, His Self-Exiled Brother returns Home,
And there’s suddenly an “Unbreakable Bond” form’n between the TWO,
Cuz IT seems FATE found Her MATE, & brought Him straight to Her side!
Even though I already owned Jess Bryant’s “Unbreakable Bond (Fated Mates Duet Book 1),” I agreed to review it as an ARC for Her via B00|{$P®0UT. I recommend this book to others based upon its own merits. All opinions expressed within this review are uniquely my own & freely given!
Until next time… Happy Reading!

Unbreakable Bond is a remarkable story of forgiveness and redemption. Zoey and Michael struggled with what the fates had dealt them until they are surprised by a visit from Rafe. What they hoped was their future is completely upended, and now they must all deal with what is. The characters in this book are strong yet vulnerable, damaged yet whole, and relatable. I Ioved this story because it shows that the bonds of family and real friendship are deep, and forgiveness and redemption are there if we are willing to accept it.
Some twists make you say WTF, as well as suspense and action that you can only get from a book dealing with shifter politics. The book ends where the next book begins but is still a tremendous standalone in this series. I am looking forward to reading the next book.

ONE SENSATIONAL TREAT!!!
Mayhem working wonders! Jess rocks this baby from the start as shenanigans and mishaps run amuck blasting this bad boy to life flawlessly. A swirling throng of vexing contingents and a bevy of surprising events catapults those sizzling emotions bursting into play. An arresting storyline and turbulent plot set the stage that reveals an abundance of twists and turns that keep you on a razors edge. All the distress, angst, turmoil and uncertainty make for one incredible experience. The skepticism, intrigue and speculation along with all that drama, tension and intrigue explodes as we watch the world light up. This little baby will rock you right along as the characters and their personalities transform and blend into the roles they were created for. Fantastic job Jess, thanks for sharing this little guy with us.
This is well written with engaging characters that are developed they have lots of chemistry. The storyline flowed smoothly from beginning to the end.

Will Michael keep Zoey and Rafe apart? A hot steamy story. Highly emotional.

What happens when you find out your best friend is not your fated mate but his brother is? Sometimes what you want isn’t what you need but what you need becomes what you want! I love the story line and all the characters! I don’t want to give anything away. I highly recommend this book! Absolutely love it!

From the beginning to end is a page turner! I love the intrigue of how it plays out to be and leaves it on a cliff hanger to entice for the ending while already having a happy ending in the story.

I love PNR. Especially when you have mistaken feels and find your true Love. Add to that hot steamy love scenes and mix in sassiness and humor. Now thats what this book brings. Add to that well written story lines and characters.
Great start to a wolf shifter series with excellent writing and characters too.. It was an interesting take on normal humans hanging around within a shifter camp and what happens after getting involved. It began rather quickly with a lot of details but all in all a great start to the series.

Zoey has loved Michael since they were kids. She’s human, and he’s a wolf shifter. She’d hoped when she turned 18 that he’d claim her as his mate, but he doesn’t show up for several days. When he does he breaks her heart. It’s hard to be a part of the pack with her feelings towards her best friend, but she accepts it. He’s forced to become alpha when his family, with the exception of his older brother Rafe, is murdered by hunters. Rafe runs as he can’t handle it & blames himself for their murder. Fast forward 10 years. Rafe returns with a mission–to get the pack’s help to back up the rightful alpha to a pack that is having issues with their current alpha. Rafe gets a sniff of a female that perks his wolf up demanding they find their mate. Michael tries to interfere when he realizes who his mate is–Zoey.
This story is filled with lots of action, high running emotions, sexy shifters, and great characters. You can’t help but fall a little bit in love or lust (take your pick) for the characters. There is a HEA but also a sort of cliffhanger for one of the characters, which makes you want to read the next story (excerpt at the end). Put this on your TBR list.
I really liked this PNR read. There is lots of heat and emotions as Zoey and Rafe’s story unfolds. This is an interesting story about the struggle between what you think you want and what fate has planned for you. The fated mate plot plays out amid plenty of family turmoil, tension, drama and action. My big issue with this book was so much internal dialoging and so little character interaction. It took what I thought would be a very gripping and emotionally intense read and basically put a filter on it. This left me feeling somewhat disconnected from the story and characters. Which in my opinion was a downright shame. Regardless, I found it impossible not to enjoy the book and I do look forward to reading book two.
Rafe returned to his pack unexpectedly. More unexpectedly is the attraction he felt for his brother, Michael’s, best friend, Zoey. In fact, it is more than simple attraction. They were fated mates even though Zoey was human and he a wolf shifter. And Michael was dead set against their union. It is however impossible to prevent their union. This is the story of Rafe learning to trust himself and his ability to love and protect those he love. And also of his brother learning to forgive him for leaving after tragedy struck their pack.

Loved this story of Zoey a human raised by wolves. She grew up with her best friend Michael and they thought they would be mates. When she turned 18 and they were not fated it broke her heart. Years later she is b doing well her and Michael are still friends and he has not yet found his fated mate, but she has found hers.
Join them on this journey and help them celebrate.

This is the first book in the Fated Mates Duet, it can be read as a standalone story as we follow Zoey as she learns her bff Michael, Alpha of the Moirae pack isn’t her fated mate and that her mate is his older brother, Rafe. This pair have a fast pairing once they realize they are fated to be together. But there is danger coming to the pack, can Rafe help his brother while still protecting his new mate and love of his life?
This book is fast-paced and well-written, I couldn’t put it down once I started and now I want to read the next book. I really liked the characters with their flaws and faults, really relatable.
