*REVIEW* Unbreakable Bond (Book One in the Fated Mates Duet) by Jess Bryant

REVIEW from Sassy Southern

**3 Stars**

Fate can be an evil witch when it doesn't work out the way you'd hoped, as is the case for Zoey. Michael and Zoey have always been friends, and assumed they'd be more, but when she turned eighteen, they learned fate had other plans. Unfortunately, there's no way around this...fate is the be all and end all in these decisions. He's a born shifter and though she was adopted by shifters and raised in the pack, she's still a human, and even though they appear to be perfect for one another, fate disagrees. Though they remained friends with a close bond, Zoey knows he'll eventually find his true mate and she'll have to watch it happen, but she never thought fate knew exactly what it was doing and it'll be her true mate that arrives.

Rafe was physically and mentally scarred following an attack that left his twin and their parents dead. Unable to cope, he walked away from his responsibilities to his pack as their Alpha, vowing never to return...until he learns someone is planning to attack Michael, his only remaining family. When he returns, the scent of his mate hits and he knows he's found the one person that could make him whole again, giving him everything he'd lost. However, the true shock is her identity...Zoey, the girl his brother has loved since they were kids.

Can Rafe protect his brother and the pack? Is Zoey truly his mate? How will Michael react upon learning what fate has planned for Rafe and Zoey? Is a HEA possible in a situation like this?

I will say, the idea of a heroine loving one brother and yet finding her mate in his sibling is not something I would normally read. I don't like the "too close for comfort" idea of this because of the sheer awkwardness when said brother does find his mate. Wouldn't that woman always wonder if she's truly who he wants? Would the heroine's fated mate wonder the same thing? But it worked out in this instance, thankfully. Yes, there's still things to deal with as it's a duet, but you see that Rafe and Zoey were always meant to be, that what you may consider love before was something completely different, or misunderstood.

One-click now and follow along as two people are brought together under potentially dangerous circumstances and realize what fate has planned for them.

**I voluntarily read and reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.**
