5 dreamy stars★

I must say WOW, just WOW. I don’t think I'll be able to write a review without revealing too much. This book is addictive, page turner and simply delightful to read.

Having a short time on her hands to experience it all, Destiny Applegate doesn’t know how getting behind a sexy stranger’s bike will change her life. She had dreams about him, of his looks, of his voice, however, nothing prepares her for the assault her senses will suffer when she sees Garrett Kayrs for the first time. And the adventure she will embarque to discover, not only herself but who she might be alongside this male, who wears power and protectiveness as easily and part of himself as a second skin.

Garrett is becoming more and more impatient: he wants to find this elusive mate that has been hunting his dreams for several years, but feels no close to finding her. So when Destiny appears in the middle of the diner he’s in with the Grizzlies, he sees an opportunity to distract himself from his elusive future mate. Little does he know what will happen once Dessie is on the back of his bike.

I've loved the Dark Protectors and the Realm Enforcers since the first time I've read Talen and Cara’s story and, I must say, this keeps getting better and better. Rebeca outdid herself with this book: the twists and turns in the story, the continuing line in the search for a way to defeat Ulric, the snippets we get of the couples from previous books, just make me love this story even more. I’ve been waiting to read Garrett’s story since day one (as do most of Mrs Zanetti’s readers) and I must say, she didn’t disappoint one bit. Now she’d set the bar too high for Hope’s story, one I’m willing to say she will be able to surpass with no effort whatsoever. Can’t wait for what’s next in this amazing series.

***Disclaimer: I’ve applied and received this book as an ARC via NetGalley and this is my honest review***

Yes! Yes! We are finally getting close to the end. Finally seeing what might be in store for Ulric. And oh boy! Was Destiny ever a mystery to the Realm.

Garrett has been looking for his mate for what seems like forever. He had a vision. He knew the sweet Destiny was not fitting the bill for the vision. But he was drawn to her like no other. No secrets revealed here. Just read it. You will not even believe what the bad guys have been up to!

Great to see all of the Seven and their mates together in one place. Great to hang with the Kayrs family as well. I can't wait for the finale of this series! It's bound to be action packed and full of twists I am sure we did not see coming.

Read the books in order. You will love this PNR!

Garrett has been searching for his mate for a long time. He expected fierce and dangerous, as seen in a vision. He didn't expect Destiny, who appeared like a sweet girl next door. There's so much more to Destiny than initial appearances. The story is full of adventure and life threatening situations. It is always good to visit with characters from the Realm. I greatly enjoyed the romance and passion of Destiny and Garrett but am so curious about the involvement of Hope, Pax and Drake. I read this book on Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Imaginative storytelling and new world building at its finest. I was pulled into the story from the very first page, and it never let me go. A great new series. A book that definitely needs more attention.

The next installment of the Dark Protectors series is here! I’ve been waiting and waiting to read Garrett’s Destiny by Rebecca Zanetti, and ready to find out what’s happening with prophecies and, you know, the end of the world and all.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Vampire-Demon Garrett has a lot on his plate. He is part of the Grizzlies MC, nephew of the King of the Realm, and a member of the powerful and mysterious Seven. But, he is searching for his mate, even though he has a vision that she will try to kill him. Destiny meets Garrett when she wanders into a diner filled with bikers, but immediately recognizes him from a long ago dream. Circumstances end up forcing Dessie to jump on the back Garrett’s bike and take off. The sparks between them are fiery, and it completely throws Garrett off when the first woman he’s interested in for eons is simply a human, which means she can’t be his mate. Or is she more than she seems? Once she actually attempts to kill him, it certainly seems like there are other forces involved.

I’ve been waiting for Garrett’s book since Logan and Mercy’s story many books ago, and it was worth the wait. Garrett is tough, and has a strong sense of responsibility to the Realm, the Seven and his family. Dessie’s innocence and confusion is initially frustrating, but she makes up for it with her strength, sass and wit. These two exchange quips, banter and steamy chemistry for days. I also liked the way Dessie embraced Garrett’s extended family as her own.

I am always amazed when an author can make a book feel fresh when it is later in a long running series. The pieces of this complex puzzle continue to fit together in a satisfying way. Believe me, at book 15, I feel like I should know what to expect, but the plot twists worked to keep me on the edge of my seat. And I still can’t wait to find out what happens next.

This book is not a standalone. Please read this series if you like paranormal romantic suspense, it doesn’t get any better! You don’t need to start at the very beginning, but Vampire’s Faith is the book that truly begins the mythology of the Seven.

I had so much fun reading Garrett’s Destiny. It is paranormal romantic suspense at its best. The battles, suspense, puzzles, steamy moments, and family time all fit together for a satisfying book. Now, what happens next???

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advance copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Garrett has been looking for his mate from his dream. She is supposed to be an amazing strong woman who will try to kill him. He never once thought that his body would tell him that a human is his mate. There is no way that this cute, small, and sheltered woman is his mate for life. Destiny is dying from an inoperable brain tumor and is determined to live her life in the few weeks she has left. She never thought that would include being drawn to a man in a motorcycle club. One look at his face she blurts out that she knows Garrett and they met in her dreams. Garrett is determined to save her life and make her his no matter what it takes. Will Destiny be able to be cured and life her destined life with Garrett? I was given an ARC through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.

I was so excited to read Garrett and Dessie's story. We get updates on other characters from the series while learning more about the lock and keys. There is not an epilogue as with the previous books. I feel like we're getting close to the final showdown. The love between Dessie and Garrett is immeasurable.

Garrett’s Destiny

What a beginning! They meet, they connect, and fireworks! Dessie’s honest naïveté makes you want her story immediately. As a long-standing fan of the series, you just want Garrett to have finally found his Happy. The dual mystery of Dessie and the early implied threat to Bear makes you want to read fast. And that’s just in the first three chapters! The mystery of Dessie continues and her “death sentence “ gives the reader understanding as to why she is willing to just accept things that happen without challenging things and take crazy risks.

I love that so many of the previous characters in the series make appearances in this story. Hope is obviously next and her part in this story has it all set up for her book.

Not my favorite of the series but a solid 4+ Star read. Rebecca Zanetti always delivers a solid story full of adventure, romance and twists along the way.

**This book was an ARC given through NetGalley but my review is honest and non-biased.

Fantastic book I have been waiting for Garrett's story for a long time and i have to say it doesn't disappoint, Dessi is the perfec mate for him sassy and bold i loved everything about her. Garrett is so much like Talon dominant but so protective of her. Te stor line is awesome filled with some very suprising twist i could not put it down such a good read I am excited for te next book

Garrett’s Destiny🌹💫

Absolutely loved this book of Garrett finding his mate in Destiny❣️Much like the other books this one is action packed, filled with drama and suspense and of course characters I’ve come to love and feel a part of😍 I won’t say too much other than to say I was enthralled and did not want to stop reading and I can’t wait to find out what happens next in this Immortal world and the fight with Ulric😳

A fantastic read and I’m hoping Hope’s book is next😉 I received an advanced copy via Netgalley and voluntarily leave my honest review❤️

Wow this book was amazing !!! Was absolutely blown away by how destiny was trained to go after the seven and was triggered by a tumor. This is a new favorite book after Marked!!! To the relationship between destiny and Garrett was awesome . The appearance of all the side characters was great.

We finally get Garrett's story and meet his 'dream' girl. Her name is Destiny and she had a sense of him since she was a child- just like he has been dreaming of her for years. It's a fast moving exciting book. Great plot, lovely romance and steamy scenes. We also get to read more about Hope-Pax-Drake and their love triangle. Love the banter and cameraderie among the brothers. :) Another terrific book by this writer!


Thanks to the publisher for the arc.

I didn’t think that I would like Garrett’s book because the huge manhoe he seemed to be in previous books BUT I did!
Garrett is not my favourite guy in the series, but I liked him. I love Dessie!! She was unique, with her personality and her past and current situation. She made the book great!
We see previous couples, and kids from these couples, and some Pax-Hope-Drake love triangle too.
Can’t go into more details without revealing some of the plot of the story, but I can say that it was a non stop reading book.


Details:
- Virgin h, manwh0r3 H in the past.
- No OP drama.
- HFN.
- No epilogue.

We met our hero, Garret’s parents in the very first book of the series, and his sister’ s story was almost the climax of a generation of conflict. Now in book 15, Garret is all grown up and a part of the dangerous world of the Seven, tasked with taking down the archenemy of the Realm, the Cyst leader Ulric. But Garret is occupied on the personal front as well, desperately searching for his dangerous mate ever since he started dreaming of her. During this journey he runs into Dessie, aka Destiny, a human he just can’t ignore, even with her possibly dangerous and fatal secrets.
It is amazing how even after 15 books in the series, and no point does the plot feel formulaic or predictable. Sure as a romance with a happily ever after, some conclusions are foregone, but the way it unfolds is absolutely interesting. At no point do the paranormal developments feel absurd in the logic of the book’s universe.
The romance is sweet as well as sufficiently spicy, and I specifically noted how well consent was treated in the story. The suspense is almost unbearable as we grow closer to Hope’s book and the conclusion of the current hostilities and this speaks to the skill of the author in crafting stories.

I freaking loved this book!!!!! This is a story that will stay with you after reading. Action and sex. Alpha men and their strong willed women. One of my favorite series.

* Voluntarily read and reviewed this for NetGalley *

Absolutely my favorite book to date. Garrett has been searching for his mate for a long time but the woman who just walked into the bar has finally distracted him for a bit.

Destiny is trying to live and experience life. She's so shocked to find the man she's been dreaming about for years.

You guys, this is a beautiful story of a hardened warrior and a human female. I can't tell you much more than that without ruining their story so you're going to have to read it for yourself. It will be worth it. I loved it.
