Fate War: Alliance: Review

From Goodreads:
"No!" Sam screamed. A Fate boot slammed into her stomach. It pinned her, leaving her breathless. She tried desperately to push his foot off as the soldier unsheathed his sword. He raised it two handed, the razor sharp point above her throat. He would kill her. She could see it in his black, soulless eyes.
"Sam!" Cole's voice was distant.
The Fate would end her life if she didn't end his first.

Prince Cole's first glimpse of his bride-to-be takes place as she walks down the aisle on their wedding day. Though he is reluctant to form this union, the future king knows how much the Arboreal Lands need her dowry that promises air ships and mech defenses.

Samantha appears to be the polished woman expected in a princess. However, Cole soon discovers his new wife has secrets that even she has yet to unlock. Can what's hidden in the recesses of her mind be the key to defeating the plans of the Fate Sovereign?

If you're looking for a steamy romance, a strong, smart heroine and interesting gadgets, this is the book for you! Fate War is a swords and guns, love and war, Steampunk inspired story that is sure to get your pistons pumping.

My Review:
This was a really awesome book! I enjoyed it so much, with the characters, that last paragraph in the synopsis, I say it's pretty spot on, and I agree 100% with it! This was a world that was really detailed in a way that I wanted more details, with characters that jumped off the page.

With the whole "first glance at the wedding" thing, it says arranged marriage. Even with that whole thing there, Sam and Cole develop a pretty loving relationship, one that I really enjoyed watching grow! What with everything going on, that was pretty constant!

The way that this book was set up, with more time for the characters, getting to know them, in the first half, and then having the action kick it into gear for the other half, was just perfect, a balance that gave the best of both worlds!

In this world of steampunk and Fates, and everything there, and then the twists with Sam, this book was a heck of a ride from start to finish! I loved the details, and it was so well written! There were some issues with formatting, but most of that is on the uploading program used!

Oh, this was a really fantastic book, so fun and enjoyable, with a great ending! I really loved reading it!

Bio:
Who is E.M. Havens? I’m a lot of things. The word that seems to define me most at the moment is mom. It can be all consuming. Not only am I a mom of three (one of them is a teenager…pity me), but I also home-school (pity me more). I share this awesome responsibility with the love of my life, best friend, and soul-mate husband.

Add to that, the twenty-five chickens, twelve turkeys, ten guineas, nine pigs, three barn cats, two
Great Pyrenees guardian dogs, a Chihuahua, a house cat, and a goose, it makes for one crazy, full, and certainly entertaining life.

Somewhere in there I find the time to write. I started out young writing poems, then moved on to
songs. I actually have a Bachelor in Music with a secondary in Science because I can’t stand English. Yes, the writer hates English. I like to read the story for the experience of reading the story, not to nitpick each letter and comma. But I digress.

I eventually found blogging and really enjoyed sharing my life that way. When an unfortunate turn of
events separated me from my music equipment, I decided to use my overactive imagination, my love
of reading, and my new found hobby, prose writing, to release some of my creative energy. I wrote my first novel and loved the experience. Fate War: Alliance is actually the second novel I wrote and the first to be published. Now I'm working on my third and several sequels to Fate War!

So that's pretty much me, sitting in the Arbuckle Mountains of Oklahoma, reading, writing, collecting eggs from the coop, and being a schoolmarm. It’s a pretty great life.
