A Curse of Fate (Shifter City Fated Mates Book 1)
Original price was: $14.95.$4.99Current price is: $4.99.
A new romantasy from Wall Street Journal and USA Today bestseller Jaymin Eve.
I’m a shifter who can never bond with a pack. Not if I want to live.
The day I watched my mom’s pack destroy her, was the day I knew I had to run from the shifter cities.
Mom and I share the same designation, which means we’ll share the same fate.
For ten years I hide from the cities and the alphas who control them.
Until my luck runs out.
Dragged to Golden Claw against my will, they charge me as a rogue. I’m facing death until one of the strongest alphas in the city scents me as his match.
Scents me… and claims me.
Even worse? He’s part of the most powerful pack of alphas the cities have ever seen.
I have to reject them. It’s the only way to avoid my mom’s curse of fate. And my own.
Except, these alphas have never been rejected a day in their lives, and they’re definitely not about to start now.

I literally couldn’t stop reading … so good!! If you love shifters and RH books (and who doesn’t??) this is the book for you!Yes, ok, it is not groundbreaking new stuff, I know. But it is one of the best books of this genre (imo) and you don’t always have to reinvent the world to write a freaking great book!But the cliff dear Jaymin … that was just mean!!! So hurry up and give us the second book, we are hanging on the edge of our seats here!

I can’t believe how this book ended and I’m totally looking forward to reading the next book in the series already. I loved the story and found it to be quite a thrilling read and I loved watching all the changes happening throughout the book. The characters were great and it felt like I was just starting to find my groove reading this story when it ended. I would 100% recommend giving this book a read.

I love the fact that the consent is well presented on this book !I have enjoyed this book (and the 2nd right after that haha). If you’re looking for a shifter romance, with some reverse harem and fated mates and you’re not to shy for the spicy part, you might enjoy this book.

I have no words to describe this book, but I have to say: I don’t know how to move on knowing that the next is not out yet.Amazing from the start, it has the certain dose of humor and sassyness to balance the heavy themes.I’m in love with Hurricane Hunter, Golden Boy and Slade, Fin didn’t grow on me just yet. Buuuut mostly I loved to see our Pretty Girl dropping her barriers, learning that she can be taken care of, that she can be helped.Won’t comment more so I don’t give spoilers, but it’s utterly worth the reading. Love love love love it!!Ps: Kel, you’re still my favorite 💖

The BEST kind of curse 🥵! So good!
[...]I read ‘A Curse of Fate,’ Book 1 of the Shifter City Fated Mates by Jaymin Eve and it is FANTASTIC 🤩! (FYI, this is an unbiased, genuine recommendation of a book I loved and there are NO spoilers! 🙌🏻)Eeek 👏🏻! This book was so freaking GREAT! OKAY ✋🏻! First 👆🏻 things First 👆🏻… this is NOT an OMEGAVERSE! So um, for all of you PNR/UF oldies but goodies (like me 🙋🏻♀️😆), you remember the days of good ole shifter romances where there is a pack hierarchy… Alphas, Betas, Omegas, oh my 😮! So this is in-line 〰️ with that! Now, there are STILL a lot of PNRs/UFs that use these designations, but in recent years, Omegaverse 🥵🍑💦 (errr more like humans 🧍🏻♀️💕👬🏻👬🏻 with these designations) have taken a bigger spotlight 🏮 in the PNR genre and well, you might start reading this and think ohhhhh… there’s Alphas, Omegas, scent 👃🏻 matches… but nope, this is not an Omegaverse! It’s more of a traditional PNR with shifter designations, but then add on some smokin’ 🔥 hot Why Choose Alphas! And I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT 👏🏻🙌🏻!Ok ✅! So this fabulous book first kicks 🦵 off with our FMC on the RUN 🏃🏻♀️! OMG I freaking LOVE 😍 an FMC on the run… LEGIT if I read that in a blurb… it’s a One-Click🖱️and I’m in 🙌🏻! Ok, so yeah, there’s an FMC on the run from ALL of shifter society since she is a RARE Omega… and she knows the pitfalls of being bonded to an Alpha pack with that designation. And when I say pitfall, I mean PITFALL 😱☠️🪦! Like… okay FINE, maybe it’s not Jabba the Hutts ‘Great Pit of Carkoon’ (does anyone else think of the pizza 🍕 guy from Spaceballs whenever they hear Jabba the Hutt?! No… just me? 😬😅)…. or like it’s not The Princess 👸 Bride’s ‘Pit of Despair’… but um, it’s not great though either, ykwim?! So anyhoo, she’s on the run 🏃🏻♀️- as she has been since she was a kid- and it doesn’t take long for the ACTION 🤺 to get pumping when she inevitably gets CAPTURED ⛓️💥 and taken to Golden Claw (the biggest shifter city of all!) to await trial 🧑⚖️ for her crime of being a ROGUE shifter (um, totally BS 💩, but like I’m here 🙋🏻♀️ for the DRAMA 🎭 of it!) And well, in walks a Hurricane 🌀 of an ALPHA 🥵 who NOT ONLY is the most POWERFUL 💪🏻 Alpha on the counsel… but all of a sudden, he smells 👃🏻so freaking DELICIOUS! Coffee laced in chocolate, folks! Can we say Chocolate 🍫 Espresso ☕️ Martini 🍸 (err maybe I’m just projecting here a little bit 😋 🤤😂)! Okay so… back to the recap! … UGH OH 🫢… we all know what that means!!! FATED MATES! So she knows she HAS to stay away from the pack or else ☠️, but how can she resist the smokin 🥵 hot yumminess??It’s just such a great book, y’all 👏🏻 ! Jaymin Eve is a freakin’ master at crafting a page-turning tale! So if you LOVE ❤️ a kick-butt FMC who is on the RUN 🏃🏻♀️, a pack of the most dangerous, powerful, and HOT 🥵 Alphas around who only want to protect her & love ❤️ 🍆 🍑 🔥 on her (well errr, not ALL of them because where would the fun be in that 😅?!), some GREAT action 🤺 & drama 🎭 , and definitely “take her and you die!” 👊🏻 vibes… give this a shot! It’s free on KU and you never know, it may be the BEST kind of curse for you too!‘A Curse of Fate,’ Book 1 of the Shifter City Fated Mates by Jaymin Eve (Emoji Review by Rebecca Dixon)

Wow!
[...]This was a great read from a new author. I enjoyed the plot although it seemed similar to “Bonds That Tie” except that this is a shifter world. Nevertheless, I loved the characters! I’m intrigued to know more about Emme’s story & unravel the other alphas backgrounds. I read this coz I knew the 2nd book was coming out in a few days. I cannot wait to read about what happens next!5⭐️2🌶️

Don’t listen to the bad reviews and give this book a chance. I found it a great read!
[...]I almost let the few bad reviews keep me reading this, but I’m so glad I took a chance and read it. Those reviewers made me think this would be a weak female who couldn’t make up her mind and was just going back and forth constantly if she should or shouldn’t. I didn’t find that at all to be the case and the author says this is a slower burn which I love because they usually have the best character and relationship development in them and gives them time to get to know each other.Not every strong female lead has to be a MMA fighter or a b!tch we all show our strength in different ways and it would be boring if every single lead was the same. How they don’t think she’s strong after living through what she lived through and then surviving on her own since a young teen on her own I’ll never understand.She’s kept herself from breaking and I loved watching her start to slowly heal and let the guys in and wonder if she really could find a home here. She doesn’t just give in to them she fights against her biology she even when they had sensual scenes she kept her boundaries and stood her ground and didn’t always give in.Maybe if you only like fast burns or only want a standalone I might understand his might not be the book for you, however the way they described this book just didn’t register as the same book I read and thoroughly enjoyed.I hope you give this book a chance. Happy reading!

Love this book!!!
[...]Love shifter romance novels. This one is chock full of broody alphas, multi shifters, temptation, independent woman not wanting to submit and fighting it, possessiveness, touch her and die, calls her pretty girl, Rogue Omega shifter, I’ll give you anything you want and then some, good boy/bad boy, money/cars/bikes, great banter….just buy it!! Slow burnish…but dang these alphas get you😳🌶️🌶️🌶️I already bought book 2 and looks like a 3rd is in the making👍🏼

Oh this was so good
[...]I was skeptical at first, but man, this was so good. The FMC and the Aplhas’ characters were well developed, in my opinion. They weren’t all perfect. Each in their own broken way but ehy were all very likable.The hesitancy in Emme is very understandable as when you’ve had so much bad, you don’t realize when you find something good in your life. That’s true even in reality. Each of the alphas, as I’ve noted, broken as they are, are actually really sweet and considerate, even when they’re trying not to be.The storyline was a good one, and I’m definitely excited for the next book in the series. Hopefully, the author is a fast writer.
