Description

The Amoveo are an ancient race who've lived secretly among humans for thousands of years. They are beautiful and incredibly strong, but their race is extremely fragile--each has until the age of 30 to find their soul mate, before their bodies start to die a slow, painful death.
Layla Nickelsen has spent her life running from a mate she didn't choose, until William Fleury finally confronts her. Normally stoic and unemotional, William finds himself befuddled by Layla: his growing feelings for her and his driving need to protect her. And Layla has to admit that William might be everything she's always wanted after all...

I have to start out by saying this is a new author for me and a first time read. Sara has a promising series here, as this was an excellent read. I will have to got back and start with the first book to read the entire series now.

  Layla had been warned about the Amoveo, but now it was too late. Her mate had somehow found her. She did the only thing she could think of, and she ran to the only place she has ever felt safe. So Layla returns home to the farm she grew up on and the family she left behind. What she had not anticipated was William following her.

    William is here to claim Layla as his mate but, Layla only knows fear, and she fears him. The Amoveo have a destined mate and Layla turns out to be Williams, although Layla is a hybrid and only part Amoveo she is the one for him and him alone, and he wants to claim what is his.

  William sets out to woo Layla, which won't be an easy task. Not only does she not want any part of this mating business, as she does not believe in destiny. The minute they meet you know there are made for one another, the sparks fly between the two, but Layla is looking for more than just a mate but someone to love her and care for her. She will not go willingly to a man she does not love or someone who does not love her in return, destiny be damned.

   As with all courtships, they are never easy and William has his work cut out for him. Layla being a hybrid puts her at risk and there are those who are out to harm her as they believe all hybrids should be dead to secure a pure line of Amoveo. Trying to convince Layla to be his mate maybe the death of one of them or both, as there is only one who is your true mate for one's lifetime.

  I have to say that William was my favorite character he is a gentle and a loving soul one who truly cares about others but, in the same breath damn lethal and will protect what is his at all costs. And Layla, a talented photographer, one who loves her brother with a whole heart and the women who raised her. She is very protective and very proud to a fault.

  This courtship was a whirlwind of danger and death, making an intriguing read. Throughout the story, secrets are uncovered and brought to light. The plot thickens and so does the danger. The story keeps you guessing, every time you think you had a handle on things some other disaster strikes, taking you in an entire other direction. The story will keep you totally engrossed and turning the pages.

  Does love conquer all ? We will just have to wait and see...

  We all look for happy ever after endings, but with reading this story you're not so sure...

  I enjoyed this story about Layla and William and look forward to picking up the previous books in this series to learn more about the Amoveo's and their clan members and be there while they search for their destined mates. I hope to be along for the ride...

  A Recommended read to all !. My First book by Sara but, won't be the last job well done !
