About this item

Avoiding fate is a lot harder than I expected.

The day the alphas dragged me to Golden Claw I'd thought my life was over. After years of running from the packs and the shifter cities they ruled over, I finally found myself trapped within their borders.

Trapped and surrounded by my scent matches. My fated mates.

Four, disturbingly perfect alphas, who claimed me as one of their quintet. Despite my determination to keep them at arm's length, and escape the moment the Alpha Council let their guard down… I find myself completely ensnared.

The pack works its way into my life and heart with an ease that should terrify me. They show me the perfection of a bond filled with respect and care, and give me a glimpse of a future I never expected to have.

A future that I’d believed would be my downfall.

When I’m stolen away by the very shifters who destroyed my mom, I find myself fighting to not only protect myself, but also the alphas I’m growing to care about. As more of my past is revealed, and the bond to my pack deepens, I start to question everything I thought I knew about my mom's death.

With enemies surrounding us, I have no choice but to trust in my pack.

Trust and hope that my world is not about to crash and burn around me.

* This is book two in a why choose romance with very dominant and possessive male main characters. The female main character will not choose between the love interests. It's a full length (115k words) romantasy and contains adult themes and descriptions that are suitable for 18+.

    Ugh incredible. Ate it up and left no crumbs - I just know this is going to turn into a comfort series for me. Jaymin Eve’s books are addictive and I don’t want to recover.

    I absolutely loved A Curse of Fate and knew when chapter one was sent out in the newsletter that A Twist of Luck would be equally as, if not more so, loved. I can confidently confirm that that assumption was correct.

    This book had me locked in from page one. I loved everything about it. The plot was great, we get some interesting little pieces of information throughout the book - I’m super intrigued to learn more about Emme and omegas in general. The progression of the relationships had me smiling nonstop - ok there were a few little tears shed as well but it was mostly smiling. The cliffhanger ending was cruel but I’m also here for it - and by that I mean I’m terrified, feeling my feels, intrigued, and also excited to see where it takes us in the next book.

    I can’t not mention my favorite man, Slade. Of course I was intrigued by him during the first book, but oh my god did that terrifying man have me kicking my feet, giggling like an idiot this book. I can’t wait to see more of Slade and Emme.

    Beyond excited for A Claim of Fortune!

    The journey continues with Emme and her pack. I was so excited with the relationship progression with each alpha. Maybe not quite a relationship with Finely ???? who I’d love to see get high-fived in the face with a chair to quote Emme. With each book I read from Jaymin I fall in love with her characters, this book is no different. I love the funny moments, but also the relatable ones with trauma and learning to lean on others.
    The cliff ???? I anticipated some of it. But once again Jaymin took me completely by surprise in some aspects. I’m never bored with her stories.
    Cannot wait for the final book to come out and continue the journey with their pack.
    Cannot recommend this book enough for people who are looking for shifters, fated mates, RH. It has all the personalities that you’re looking for, the funny one, silent brooding type, alphaholes and plenty of laughs.

    Synopsis:
    Opens up to Emme and Slade being trapped and Emme having her freak out. Slade breaks out of his little cage and into hers to comfort her. They get kind of close during their little kidnapping, but Slade gets them free and the packs shows up as he does. On the way home, Kellan gets hit by a spell from a witch meant for Emme and it almost kills him. Emme saves him by bonding with him and sharing her power. The alphas still don’t know how Emme saved Kellan. Emme gets closer with all the pack members except Fin. Fin isn’t as horrible as book 1, but still mean to Emme. Emme has second thoughts about not bonding to her pack and ends up bonding with Hunter. Everything is happy until after playing a small prank on Slade, Emme opens a book from the other omega in the city, Chelsea, and it turns out the book was boobytrapped with a spell that made Emme not able to control her body and Chelsea was in control. Chelsea made Emme write a runaway note and had Emme escape to her and Chelsea took her out of the city far away. While Emme was still under the spell, Blaine Rogers, evil pack alpha from her mother’s pack, shows up with Hunter’s evil dad. They force Chelsea to force Emme (who is still under the spell) to bond with a dragon who looks like Slade’s twin (his personality is that of a mindless robot), except he has a scar down his face. The bond seals in place and that’s the end of book 3.

    First have to say, the nicknames are cringe. They are just awful. When you get a nickname right it is perfection, but the ones in this series are not it.
    Not a whole lot of plot in this one. Like I’m not sure what the ultimate goal in this series is. Are we trying to figure out Omega/shifter magic? Are we trying to complete the quintet bond? Are we fighting against the evil pack? Are we fighting against Hunter’s evil dad? Are we watching our MCs overcome their past trauma to be healed and whole? What’s with the witches? Are we breaking the shifter curse? What is this story about exactly?
    Kellan, loved him and his golden retriever ways. Hunter, loved his daddy dom obsessiveness. Slade, standing at my fav right now. Love a good strong silent type. Growly scary obsessive stalker. Fin, still need him to be a groveling mess because he’s still being a jerk. Emme, it’s dumb she still contemplates leaving and voices it, even though we know, she knows, and everyone knows she not going anywhere so let’s just cut the crap on that one.
    Cliffhanger was diabolical. Definitely forgot all about Chelsea and the books. Didn’t even think they mattered after everything else going on. Should have seen the ending coming with the way the author was dropping breadcrumbs everywhere.
    There are some plot holes that need rectifying. Like wouldn’t Slade know who Blaine was when he saw him? Slade grew up with Hunter, who we find out is Blaine’s half brother, so Slade should know who Blaine is since they should have also grown up together. Where did Chelsea get this magic from? There is a little bit of information about witches in this book, but their involvement is minimal and then all of a sudden people can get ahold of spells to use? Where is this relationship between witches and shifters coming from because so far all we know is witches cursed shifters. Yes, we see the Reeves pack has a weird relationship with a witch, but we don’t even get where that came from either. Also, the fact Emme escaped without notice from the compound. She ripped the shutters off and pushed the glass out of the second story window and jumped down and was able to stroll across the yard without anyone’s notice? Fin was in the house (and staff are also in the house) and he (or anyone else) didn’t hear an absolute commotion that would be ripping shutters off the wall or window glass falling 2 stories?
    I really hope in book 3 the pack does not totally hate Emme for the note she was forced to write while under the spell that made her not in control of her body and realize it was all a ruse to try and get them to not go after her. I hope Chelsea and her whole pack get what’s coming to them because I think they were all involved. I’m definitely invested to see what happens next. I want all these broken people to get a HEA.

    This sequel did not disappoint. I loved how we got to experience the budding relationships between the FMC and the MMCs. But the end.....it left me reeling. Well done, Jaymin, well done. Excuse me while I go cry in a corner and suffer until book 3 comes out.

    I liked the first couple of chapters. The middle was wtf and the ending left me wanting more. I loved Emme in the first book but in this one, she seems like a totally different person. I get that people change but she was so determined in book 1 not to mate. I get why she did with Kellen but the minute she did she just rolls over and mates Hunter. I do love her guys except Finley needs to figure out his stuff. I understand past trauma but the way he holds on to things is crazy. Of course, this ends on a cliffhanger with a crazy twist I didn't see coming.
