Crucible of Fate

Change of Heart Book 4

By: Mary Calmes

Narrated by: Sean Crisden

In the secret city of Sobek, Domin Thorne is making his way as the newly chosen semel-aten, the leader of the werepanther world. He aspires to make sweeping changes - he's set goals for himself and the people he chose to bring with him, modeling his reign after that of his friend, Logan Church. But Domin may have set too lofty a goal: His normal leadership style isn't working.

While juggling a homesick Crane, a moody Mikhail, a bullwhip-wielding Taj, servants with murderous intentions, a visiting ex, and a mate on a dangerous goodwill mission, Domin has to figure out his new role alone. He also must determine how to deal with a conspiracy, all the while falling hard for a man who, for the first time in Domin's life, reciprocates that love. Whether Domin is ready or not, Fate has stepped in to teach him a lesson: Internal threats are just as dangerous as external ones.

Loved it

This is the end of The Change of Heart Series a m/m romance, I loved every book. In this book its Domin's end story of one life and the beginning to what he truly want and need!!!! It has drama, action, hot hot romance. I say get the whole series and enjoy. THANK YOU MARY CALMES damn good job!!!!!

Domin's story after the Sepat

So this is Domin's story after the Sepat and very little of Yuri and their relationship. Somehow, someway Jin had more page time than Yuri and that annoys me. Yeah we get answers when it comes to the werepanthers and everything is tied up nicely but what do we really know about Domin and Yuri's relationship and their future goals as a couple? Are they even married or hand fasted or something? Do they want kids? Nope, no news about that and very little but the basic info about how their relationship evolved from when we left them in book 3 to where we find them in book 4. Also I have to say that this wasn't one of Sean's greatest works and his accent for the Egyptian characters was abysmal.

The best

If you could sum up Crucible of Fate in three words, what would they be?

Love, Love, Love

Mary calmes has out done herself with this series up there with the matter of time series. I love all her books and I hope they all will be on audio at some point .

Domin and Yuri's story

I was so irritated with Jin and Logan in the last book, that I stopped reading it. HOWEVER, I decided to try this book, and I am so glad I did. I loved the story, the evolution of the characters, and the relationship between Domin and Yuri. Even the secondary characters are well developed making for a great story. I read this book and also listened to it on Audible. I loved Sean Crisden's narration as he brought a whole new dimension to already colorful world. I have even forgiven Jin and Logan and will go back and finish the last book. Don't mind me, I am just a sap for happy endings! Even though this is a standalone book, I really think you need to read the preceding books to experience the world the author has created. Don't miss this one. It's well worth your time, and well worth a credit.
