Broken Fate

Each of the fated mates have unique storylines and none are what you expect! This book was amazing at following up with the bast three books and still making it a completely different storyline which always draws the reader back in my opinion. Expect the unexpected with everything and try to be patient for October to arrive for the next installment!

As someone who was originally more interested in Grace and Devins story; I wasn’t looking forward to a stand-alone book about Jude, but I was pleasantly surprised. I enjoyed the story and twists. It also gave a glimpse into the original characters stories (since they lived together) and that was nice. Some of the wording/language felt a bit repetitive at times but otherwise it was a great read.

This is the fourth book in the To Be Claimed Saga. It is the highly awaited story of Jude and Ms. Winters exceeds expectations. It can be read as a standalone, but it is better to read the books in order to have a better understanding of the characters and this world. Jude dealt with a lot growing up with his father and two brothers. It was not until he came to Devin’s pack that he settled some and resigned himself to never finding his mate. However, his life changed when he was sent to do recon of an enemy pack and came face to face with his mate. Lena has been living with Shadow’s pack as his luna but she was treated as subpar, even while carrying Shadow’s pup. Jude is not one to back away from a challenge and he does what he needs to do, especially when the pull to Lena is so strong. Let me say that this is one book that you want to start in the morning or afternoon and ensure you have plenty of time to read it because you will not be able, nor want, to put it down. Ms. Winters has a writing style that just flows effortlessly with tons of heart as she unpacks the feelings of Jude and Lena as the story progresses. They are two broken souls brought together to heal and grow. It does end in a bit of a cliffhanger and as Jude’s brothers are in the picture, I am looking forward to their stories with their mate, Emma along with a few other surprises that the author may have up her sleeve. I recommend this book and the rest of the series.

Jude and Lena are so sweet with each other ! Lena did not deserve the pain she went through but I’m so happy she got her happy ending ! I loved their story and how their pact was so involved in their story as well. Willow winters never disappoints! 🥰

While this is a different couple and you can read this as a standalone, I highly suggest starting at the beginning, with Wounded Kiss. This is Jude and Lena’s story and it is filled with lots of feels. My heart was pounding so much and my emotions were all over. My heart just broke for what Lena went through and also for what Jude was going through when he found her and and she didn’t feel the same. He was so sweet and caring with her and proving to her that she could trust him. War is coming and with war, it brings out lots of twists. I can’t wait to see what is going to happen as this series continues to grow. I do have to say, Jude and Lena are my favorite couple. I do love all the couples and throuples we’ve met so far, but there is just something about Jude and Lena that just calls to me.
