Wordy Wednesday: A Chance of Fate Book Tour

Title: A Chance of Fate
Series: Dominion Creek Pack
Author: Emleigh Walsh
Publisher: Emleigh Walsh
Desription: HE’S TERRIFIED
Chance McGregor is known as one of the toughest werewolves around. As the Dominion Creek Pack Guardian it’s his job to protect the pack and its laws. Even if that requires him to find his true mate or mate with someone of the council’s choosing. With the Mating Ceremony fast approaching – and Chance a very unwilling participant – he has more on his mind than pack safety. It’s enough to make even the baddest werewolf whine like a puppy.

SHE’S IN CONTROL
Stephanie Taylor is finally making her way in the world. She’s out of a bad marriage, starting a business with her best friend in a great new town, and in control of her stable – if not sometimes boring – life. She can handle boring and she doesn’t need a man to tell her what’s best for her anymore.

WHAT’S A WOLF TO DO?
When Chance runs into Stephanie on the street, he realizes that he found his woman. The problem is she’s a human. Not a problem for him though. Now all he has to do is convince her that they are meant to be together forever; talk the ever-meddling pack council into allowing the mating; and protect his pack from a group of rogue wolves wreaking havoc across the state. With their hearts, and lives, on the line Chance and Stephanie will do the only thing they can…

TAKE A CHANCE ON FATE

Review: I love werewolves. This story is one where werewolves are known to the world as well as magic users, the Fae, and vampires. What would a world like that be like? Well the story doesn't focus on the effect of knowing the supernatural are real has on the world, but rather on how relationships come about when it has been widely accepted. Steph (as she is primarily called in the story) is a normal human who literally runs into Chance, a werewolf, and finds an instant attraction. Steph figures out what he is based on his behavior and some instinct about him. However, Chance also has insight into Steph because it turns out that his human side and wolf side instantly want Steph in their lives. They are what is called True Mates.

The story bounces between their perspectives and has minor moments of other people's perspectives as well. You get to learn a lot about Steph's past because it comes to haunt her. She was married to a human really young and he ran off with almost all of her money. After draining most of her accounts (he thought he had drained them all), he files for divorce leaving her with nothing. Steph struggles to get her life back in order with the help of her good friend Dane. The two of them have even decided to open an internet cafe together. They are in the process of preparing for their grand opening when Steph meets Chance. Chance is instantly jealous of Dane because he thought they were a couple until he learns that Dane actually prefers men like Steph does.

The other perspective we see is from Chance and how he is learning to live with the idea of having found his True Mate. He has to find a way to convince Steph that they are destined to be together before the next mating ceremony which is at first only 15 days away. Luckily for Chance, she doesn't need too much convincing really. But what happens after they accept fate and try to be together? You will be shocked to learn about Steph's true nature and how jealous a werewolf female can be. The ending will shock you and leave you wondering what will happen next? It is pretty obvious there's going to be another book in this series, but you will feel closer about Steph and Chance. I think the next book is probably going to focus on a different member of the pack.
