Fate: An Action & Adventure Romance Novel (Sacrifice) [Kindle Edition]
Book Description Publication Date: August 7, 2013 Action & Adventure with a romantic paranormal twist! "There must always be balance." Chasca Leon grew up in foster care and never spent a lot of time making friends. There were things about her people just wouldn’t understand. Thing’s even she didn’t understand. She lived a very quite life, going to work, and going home, never intentionally seeking adventure. This is, until she was kidnapped. Chasca cannot comprehend why someone would kidnap her and she only discovers why once she is rescued by two gorgeous militant men. While under their protection she learns that she is not human and that the strange things that have been occurring all her life were all because she is of the Nephilim bloodline. Fate has never been a thing Chasca has concerned herself with but once she learns that she is part of an ancient prophecy she understand that she is truly in danger. Her protectors do everything they can to keep her out of harm’s way but there’s only so much that can be done when your ward is a headstrong mouthy woman. Recommended for those 18 and older.
"One cannot escape their fate, but their path may be altered, potentially resulting in a different outcome. Some consider it divine intervention, or a miracle. Others consider it to be coincidence or happenstance. In some cases both are true, but there are always exceptions. Mere seconds can prove to be crucial components when the result of one’s fate is hanging in the balance. Often times a minute amount of influence is all it takes. Planting a seed of doubt or inspiring hope when all seems to be lost..."
Editorial Reviews Review "A.C. Heller's Fate is a compelling and unique paranormal romance written for adult readers; a story of a twenty-five year old nephilim woman, Chasca, an orphan with no knowledge of life before foster care or her parents. The novel is written in a first person narrative of Fate's main character providing an intense genuineness of inner thoughts and feelings surrounding new situations of fear, love, misunderstanding, and the unknown. The story begins with a prompt entrance when Chasca is kidnapped, and subsequently rescued by two strangers. Her unknown past, present, and future is written in prophecy; a prophecy which Chasca refuses to be chained to. Once the initial kidnapping and rescue take place, which is performed by two sultry and endearing characters, the story sends you directly into conflict, internal emotions, and turmoil between the characters. Strange occurrences in Chasca's past begin making sense, while misunderstood powers take a stronghold and threaten her existence. As Chasca learns who she is and what she is, she also learns who she can trust, who she can rely on, and who she can love. Her destiny is folded in the lines of prophecy and the outcome of her predetermined fate. No matter how hard she fights for her own choices, the outcomes follow the prophecy of "a daughter born among humans, unaware of her birth right...damned by her own blood to be a victim of her own abilities. In her life she will truly love only one, taking the dark from his soul, she will allow it to consume her."

August 11, 2013 By Erica Terrell Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase From the very first page, I was hooked. "Fate" starts out very strong by drawing you into wanting to know more about Chasca and her predicament. I liked how fast paced the book was and that I couldn't predict the ending like you can with so many other books in this genre. This book has romance, action, and very interesting characters with astounding abilities. I can't wait to see what the author has instore for these characters in upcoming books!

Captivating September 28, 2013 By Joanne Brown Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase Once I started the book I did not want to put it down. look forward to more of the same . Great new talented author.
1 of 2 people found the following review helpful 4.0 out of 5 stars Short but satisfying August 10, 2013 By Valentino DeMares Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase From page to page I sat down and read this book, interested in a first person tale of a female protagonist that didn't entirely fall into conventional tropes. There was a sense of perspective in the characterization of Chasca who was an ordinary person who was caught up in things entirely over her head and had to accept her "Fate". I did enjoy the development of the characters, and felt the ancillary cast needed a little more time to shine, but it was not too difficult to interpret their intentions or what sort of people they were through the writing of the author. I recommend this book to anyone who enjoys seeing a subtly-crafted world of people who don't drag attention to themselves, but will want yours.
