It was sweet to read Garrett find his mate. Him being Talen’s son, it’s no surprise he’s fiercely protective, but growing up with the strong women in his life he’s also extremely caring and soft when needed. If there’s anyone who needs that type of partner it’s Dessie. She grew up without the love and support of a family. As the story goes on it’s obvious there was a lot more going on in her upbringing and Garrett is the perfect friend to have while it’s all coming to light.

This book moved this series forward by leaps and bounds. A lot that we’ve been waiting to happen either happened or is on the very precipice by the end of this story. Of course, Garrett and Dessie get their HFN, but there are many battles to be fought before we know who will be coming through at the end. With how much things are ramped up in this book, I couldn’t help but look for signs in everything. Some things happened with some of the enhanced humans that are now mates that could have been a coincidence but could also come into play with the way Ulric’s release will affect the overall physics in our world. It’ll be interesting to see if I’m reading too much into things or if I’m onto something.

The faith and support Garrett gives to Dessie through everything, even when his family is being cautious, is everything. As for Dessie, I love her open-minded approach to all that is happening. She is very pragmatic when it comes to her health issues and even tries to protect Garrett from the heartbreak of that illness when he is so hopeful and sure that his people will be able to help her. It’s beautiful and touching and had me loving this couple more and more as the story progressed.

There is everything in this book that I’ve come to expect from this author in this series; heat, love, action, intrigue, hot alphas, and strong women.

Garrett’s Destiny: An Action Packed Alpha Vampire Paranormal Romance is the 15th book in the Dark Protectors Series. The title says it all and I could not put it down.

Garrett has been dreaming, mostly nightmares about his mate. He finally meets her and it is Destiny Applegate. In the beginning, it was difficult to accept her as his mate. But, Rebecca Zanetti has a way with telling a story. She keeps you riveted to the page and slowly reveals the true nature of Destiny.

As always in the Dark Protectors Series there are Kurjans, the Circle of Seven and Ulric. It is a rollercoaster ride of action, romance and suspense. Waiting for the next story in this series will be difficult.

Thank you to the author, NetGalley and the publisher for my complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.

Garrett’s Destiny is a power-packed, adrenaline-fuelled, and all-round gripping tale that reels readers in and holds them captive till the last page is turned. The next exciting instalment in the Dark Protectors is everything avid fans of this series would expect from this exceptionally talented author.

Danger, duty, desire, and passion are just some of the elements that will keep you on the edge of your seat and occasionally holding your breath waiting for the next explosive revelation. As has become the norm, Ms Zanetti has penned a fast-paced, intriguing, and thrilling account of the dilemmas faced by the King of the Realms nephew as he is torn between his devotion to his family and his obligations to the Seven.

I could go on and on about this book, but seriously, you just need to read it! The Dark Protectors is a series that MUST be read by lovers of Paranormal Romance.

I have a million theories about this series… I am fairly certain none will come true. But I have been waiting for Garret “you your daddy’s son” Kayrs book for AGES and it didn’t disappoint. I didn’t see Destiny being this awesome either and was super happy she was! I am also so afraid to say too much about this one because a lot of Plot happens and now I have Questions and Theories. I am fascinated and totally trust Zanetti to wrap a lot of up in book 16… but also don’t want to wait…

Thank you to the author and publisher for my complimentary copy in exchange for an honest review.

I couldn’t love Garrett and Dessie more. Such an incredible mystery to solve! Garrett’s been looking for the mate that he has been dreaming about. His attraction to Dessie doesn’t make sense. His dream mate is dangerous and will try to kill him. Dessie is anything but dangerous and could never kill anyone.
I couldn’t stop reading. I was drawn into their story right from the very beginning. We get closer and closer to the end game of defeating Ulrick. I can’t wait for more!!
5 stars!!

Rebecca Zanetti has created a sexy alpha male named Garrett Kayrs and his story is one that leaves your pulse pounding and your lady bits on fire! 🔥 In this installment of the Dark Protectors series Garrett finally gets his mate — Destiny is the perfect complement to his alpha ways. They really couldn’t have been better matched, it’s almost like fate stepped in … or something 😉

In this story there is a little bit of everything including romance, action, twists and turns, suspense, passion, angst, humor, and scenes that contain all the feelz. It’s such a perfect blend I dare you to not enjoy it!

4 Stars ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ | 4 Flames 🔥🔥🔥🔥

What else can I say about this series that I haven't already said??

I FLOVE this entire series and was impatiently waiting for this book especially! I think I can speak for fans of this series that you are not prepared for what goes down in this book!!

No spoilers from me so just dive in and enjoy Garrett and his Destiny!!!!

I will say there's incredible buildup to the final battle and Hope is getting her book in 2023!

If you want in on all things Dark Protectors all I can say is go look for Rebecca Zanetti's Facebook page!

Rebecca Zanetti can write steamy supernatural romance stories that will keep a tribe of readers. Book 15 in the Dark protectors is one that her fans have been waiting for since started reading about the Vampire Demon Karys series.

That being said the author has relied on her same story telling and the characters are the only things that changes. The story brings readers closer to understanding the key and Seven connection to the fixing the miss they made thousands of years earlier.

That being said Garrett is as expect and the cheesy named female lead Destiny Applegate is as you expected. Sex, I am mad do as I say, female I will do what I want and yada yada. More sex and end! The female names are cheesy and as always everyone is beyond amazing and attractive.

I hate to say the one part of this addition to the series is it bring readers closer to the reason the Keys and lock are so important to the supernatural world.

Thank you to Netgalley for advance copy of Rebecca Zanetti Garrets Destiny

Garrett’s story is finally here. He has been searching for his mate since dreaming about her. Destiny is is not the deadly woman he was expecting so he is convinced she can’t be his mate. As they spend more time together they begin learning about the secrets Dessie Carrie’s inside her. The enemy have a new weapons against the Seven and Dessie is determined to prevent them from winning.

Heading towards the final showdown with Ulrik. Loved the story!

These books from the Dark Protectors series just get better and better. I haven't been following them from the very beginning (sadly) but of the ones I've read, this is the best yet. As each story has unfolded, we've been treated to a little more of the 'main story' that runs through all of these books. This time, we got very close to what I can only assume is the final chapter in this great series.
Garrett and Destiny make a great couple, like many of the other male characters in this series, Garrett is a full-on alpha, but Destiny doesn't let him take complete control. In many ways she is his complete opposite, but she is still able to stop him from being too domineering and is his equal.
I'm not usually a fan of books where one of the characters has a power or something about them that they don't yet know, but when it's done well it really works and it's done very well in this book.
Overall this was a great read and I can't wait for the next in the series.
I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own and given voluntarily

OMG I so loved this book. I have been waiting for Garrett's book for so long and it is finally here and yes he's found his Destiny. I loved the original DP series, so what a joy to have so many of the characters in Garrett's book. I love the realm and missed it so much in the previous books.

I'm a huge fan of this world and seems ages since we had another book so what a way to break the drought with Garrett's book. Yes we have seen him grow throughout the series but did anyone expect that he would be this wonderful swoon worthy alpha. He has grown into the responsibility he will inherit of been King of the Realm he also has the magical almost indestructible art of been one of the seven but he hasn't found his mate He dreams of her in mortal danger Imagine his surprise when he finally finds her Destiny has her own problems she has a family name to live up to dreams of her mate who she fears she may have to kill and now she is fighting a brain tumour all after never really having a life due to her "Education" So when she meets Garrett she is determined to live life to the fullest Will they find a way to be together and can he save her You will have to read to see

I loved Dessie, she was everything that Garrett needed. Speaking of Garrett, he has never been my favorite in this series, not that I didn’t like him, I just wasn’t pining for his book. With that said, I actually really enjoyed his character and being in his head.

Garrett’s Destiny is a pivotal book in the on going storyline with the Kyrjins. A lot happens here, and without going into spoilers, you don’t want to miss it. Unfortunately we don’t get much or any progress in other storylines that isn’t related to the main war, which was a bit disappointing, but I can understand that may need to be saved for Hopes book.

I can’t wait to see what happens next!

The MUCH-anticipated story in Rebecca Zanetti's FABULOUSLY FAMOUS Dark Protector series is FINALLY here and its pure UNADULTARATED MAGIC, MAYHEM, AND SIZZLING ACTION!

Garrett's story was pretty awesome with an unexpected mate that I thought was too sweet and innocent until she turned into one badass, dangerous woman with some MAJOR skills. She was 100% Garrett's DESTINY and oh boy, she definitely had some surprises to show him. I was so amazed and happy with how this book turned out. One heart pounding, action packed moment after another, mixed with the most sensual and sexy moments in between that left me breathless again and again in just about EVERY chapter. This book was perfection. Garrett and Destiny were certainly two of my favorite couple as of right now. I can't believe how surprising and fulfilling this book was. I LOVED IT!

Garrett's Destiny gets a MAGNETIC AND MAGICAL FIVE SCORCHING STARS!!

I have loved this series from the beginning and am enjoying seeing the children from the earlier books all grown up and having love and adventures of their own. The older characters continue to entertain even when they are not the main character for any given book. Garrett is the last of the Seven to meet his mate and has a wild ride to find her and convince her they belong together. Ms. Zanetti is very creative and came up with some really great twists in this story and kept me involved from the start, as always. I look forward to Hope's story and am rooting for Pax. Highly recommended.

At long last, Garrett’s story is here and it does not disappoint. I’ve long wondered who this alpha male would end up with and how fitting it is literally Destiny. This story had everything you could ask for: adventure, romance, heat, alpha male goodness and all the feels.

Another great installment of the Dark Protectors series! This was probably one of my favorite ones yet. I would have liked a little more exploration of Garrett and Dessie ow that he can sense her enhancements at the end, perhaps an epilogue like past books but understand it’s probably not possible with Ulric back on the planet. Another thing I found to be a little unclear (but it might have been just me devouring this book in what felt like record time for me) was that the timeline with Hope’s birthday/the ball felt slightly off, as if more days were described than initially presented. I felt like over a week happened between Garrett and Dessie arriving at Realm Headquarters and the ball (her going crazy on Garrett, testing Dessie for her triggers, all the medical testing, going back to the island where she was programmed, the biopsy, dealing with the bad news all felt like over a longer time than maybe intended?) but I think they initially said it’d be a few days. I’ll definitely be rereading this book, and maybe even the whole series for my 3rd or 4th time. Loved the book! Looking forward to Hope’s story!!

Amazing!

I’m so glad Garrett finally found his mate! Destiny is the perfect complement to his alpha ways. This series keeps going strong and I can’t wait to see what comes next.

I voluntarily read an advanced copy.

So, so happy for Garrett Kayrs to finally get his own book, and I've loved him ever since Talen and Cara had him, and I adored each and every second that I read of this book, and its great because you feel like you are still a part of the OG Dark Protector series along with the trials and tribulations of the Seven.

Rebecca gave him the perfect heroine in Destiny, mysterious, complex and sassy herself. No spoilers here, it was a great story, with lots of plot points from previous books being answered while new ones opened. There is also the story arc with Hope still playing out too so it was a thrill a minute ride from start to finish.

Can't wait for more!

Ms. Zanetti NEVER DISAPPOINTS!!!! Loved it!!! So many freaking good parts. This is Garrett and Destiny's story and it was just amazing! All I can say is if you have been reading this series you are going to love it and so many of the cast and crew make an appearance. Full of action, so much suspense, surprises and that hot OTT alpha maleness that only these men can deliver when it comes to their women is ever present. Destiny turns out to be such a badass! Yesssssss! The things done to Garrett's mate were really bad. Poor girl suffered a lot but Garrett made sure to save his mate in the end. I'm so tired of those Kurjans! Not too sure how Drake is going to feel after what happened, Lol. Yeah totally enjoyed this one and I can't spoil it but I see a couple more books coming, due to some disturbing happenings!!! 5 FREAKING AWESOME FANTABULOUS STARS 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Destiny was hilarious, my favorite quote from the book
" Did you see that Grizzly?" she asked. "Did you get a look at him? If asked, the table would've grown girl parts and gone out back with him." Too funny!

P.S. Most of all my favorite character made an appearance Benjamin Reese, just so freaking awesome and yummy! Lol. Loved it!!!!
