**Great Book!! Terrible Proofreading **
I’m pleasantly surprised with this book. It was really good. Has a great plot. The reason for four stars: not enough steam and needs a good proofreading.
I read an advanced copy of this book.
Really good book, although it should be mentioned that this does end with a cliffhanger you do get a full story. It was a quick read for me but I enjoyed Dominics and Jinxs story. It had god flow and it was entertaining. I enjoyed this book and would recommend it.

When Jinx travels to her friend’s wedding, she doesn’t know that she will reconnect with the man she fell in love with as a child. I have read several of Ms. Durand’s books and she is a very versatile writer. Her books range in scope from typical romance stories to paranormal love stories. This book is a complex paranormal love story combining the shifter verse (Dominic is a wolf shifter) with Jinx’s ability to use Mother Earth for guidance and protection. Jinx has hidden her powers but Dominic, as an alpha, knows that Jinx is his mate. He just has to get her to stop running and accept that they are meant to be together. I really also enjoyed the secondary characters of Nicole and Olivia and wonder if their stories are available. This book ended on a cliffhanger of sorts concerning Olivia.
Great story!

This is book one of the Secrets, Lies and Betrayal series and the main characters are Jinx Wintr and Dominic Lowell. Jinx and her friend Livia has travelled to a remote mountain town to attend their friend Nicole’s wedding to a man she only met a few months ago. Nicole is a city girl but was in the area completing her study on the wolf population in the area. Jinx is there to try and persuade her not to go ahead with the wedding, believing she is making a mistake! Livia has her own secret that she hasn’t told her friends and hasn’t heard from her boyfriend Sei for weeks, as he isn’t answering any of her calls. Nicole’s fiancé is Julian and his best friend is Dominic. Both of these men have a secret life that brought them into Jinx’s family life when she was just a child. When Jinx sees all the picture perfect residents of the town, she should have realised what was up, but she wasn’t expecting to see the man she had such a crush on throughout her childhood, arrive with Julian!
Julian and Nicole are fated mates and Dominic can see and feel the love connection between the two of them. He is getting to a time in his life, that he wants something similar now. He doesn’t like having to go to all the big cities for his job and prefers the fresh smelling countryside. He has had enough adventure and feels an attraction to the grown up Jinx. Her friends persuade her to spend the night with him before the wedding, to stop concentrating just on work and to have a bit of fun. They enjoy a night together, but find in the morning that the one in a million chance of them being fated mates, has actually occurred! Jinx refuses to give in to it and escapes as soon as the wedding is over. Dominic comes to the city for an investigation into a number of missing supernaturals and soon finds the numbers are much bigger than the Security Council he works for expected. More worrisome is the fact that it may be humans that are behind it all and that means their secrets are out in the wide world.
A nice storyline with interconnecting romances between three female friends and their partners in love. Added to that, is the supernatural aspects to the story and the missing people and what is being done to them. Dominic is busy with his case, but insists on following Jinx back to the big city and staying with her, to see if their bond can develop or not. He is an alpha, but allows her to run the relationship at her pace, but does insist that he stays in her bed! Jinx has given up on her Mother given powers, deciding to concentrate on her work and position. After losing her father at a young age and seeing the effect it had on her mother, is another reason she is against a bonded mate relationship. Watch and see what happens as Dominic fights to find out what has happened to all the missing people from various communities, even some of his own men, whilst also pursing Jinx and trying to change her mind. A good length story that goes into more than the romance only, with a lot of background to fill out the characters.

I received an ARC from the author thru Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving my review. Jinx is hoping to get to her friends wedding to talk her into slowing things down. When she arrives at the wedding she finds that she knows the groom and best man from her past. Her past before she avoided the paranormal world. Dominic hasn’t seen Jinx in years. She is his mate and he will do whatever she needs to convince her that they belong together. He wants it all with Jinx. Even though he is a good guy, between her heartbreak and experience with her mom, she is determined to not have a mate. Throw in some suspense, twist and turns, other paranormals and you have a great storyline. I enjoyed this story and look forward to the next book

Jinx Wintr was going to her friend Nichole’s wedding, only she was hoping to talk some sense into her. She thought they were moving way too fast. As the editor fo a magazine, she had a very busy life and no time for men. She gets a shock when she arrives for the wedding to find out her best friend is marrying the brother of her childhood crush. Dominic Lowell had changed over the years. He now longs for more than adventure. He wants a mate to share his life with and fate had chosen Jinx.
This is an erotic paranormal romance with plenty of action. The characters are well crafted and are full of great personalities, complete with strengths and weakness. They engage the reader in the story and you want to see how it all ends up. The author expertly weaves the elements of romance, erotica, mystery, paranormals and suspense together into an interesting story that is hard to put down. The storyline flows smoothly and the narrative is well done. The erotic scenes work well within the storyline. The romance is filled with emotional ups and downs as the characters deal with their fears, insecurities all while dealing with the dangers facing them. It is a great book worth reading if you like paranormal romances with some action and some steamy hot scenes.

I really loved this story and for me it was a page-turner, impossible to put down until I had finished it book. I like this author’s writing style and love that she is able to write different genres so well. This is the first paranormal story that I have read by her. The plot is wonderful and a little different to most of the other books I’ve read. The characters have great depth to them with believable dialogue. Looking forward to book 2 in the series now.
