Publisher's summary

Terrified of becoming mated like her parents, Isabelle has locked herself away in order to avoid their fate. She is content to stay sheltered among her family, hidden away as she lives out her days away from the human race and the world. Despite her determination to remain alone, her world is rocked when a person from her parents' past arrives at their door, bringing with them the powerful and stunning vampire Stefan.

Though Stefan is not expecting to arrive at a nest full of vampires, he is immediately drawn to the vibrant, often defiant, and willful Isabelle. To his surprise Isabelle does everything in her power to avoid him and her desire for him. No matter how hard she tries to fight it, Isabelle begins to realize that trying to deny her destiny may just destroy them both, as there are some things that cannot be stopped. But just as she begins to let her guard down, Stefan's dark and deadly past catches up to him and threatens to destroy them both.

Isabelle is an annoying crybaby.

What did you like best about Destined? What did you like least?

I loved all the characters except Isabelle.

If you’ve listened to books by Brenda K. Davies before, how does this one compare?

The first was definitely much better. I hope the third makes up for this one.

Any additional comments?

Isabelle was just too naive, immature and judgmental for me.

First one was better

This book was okay. My problem was how weak the female character was. I like the strong, ass kicking, outspoken characters, and this one, well, she acts like those things until shes with her mate. I hate when the female is portrayed to be the home maker, and this one was. She was very easily oppressed and over shadowed by the male character and even though the story was interesting, i dont know if i would suggest it to others. I will go onto the next book, though, and I had no issues with the narration and would listen to her again.

Poor story line.

I loved the 1st book! I am not sure what the author was thinking here or how the editor let this one get published but the only good part about it was the last 2 chapters. This book really dragged on and on. I kept listening because I paid for it for one and second the 1st was so good!!!! Very disappointed with this one.

Immature and Frustrating

Stefan is over 200 years old so he should have the patience, maturity and control of a 200 year old vampire. Instead, he has the maturity of a teenager. He has no patience and his personality comes across as more abusive than controlling. He has terrible tantrums and the way he treats Isabelle is unacceptable.

5 star narrator performance.

It was pretty good

At the beginning of the book I was very lost and confused because there are so very many characters. Too many. But I love Tavis Gilbert and Brenda Davies so I worked through my confusion.

Great follow up

I love how the story brought Sara's & Liam's family to the forefront. I didn't like how Isabel was always crying and insecure about everything.

I wanted more drama over all especially at the end

The book was ok to me but I felt it was missing something. I wanted more spice more uff but didn’t get it.

Action, romance, and vampires

I enjoyed listening to this book. The heroin wasn’t as strong as the first book, but she had an inner strength that was interesting to hear evolve throughout this book. This was a different aspect than most vampire books, which I found enjoyable and couldn’t stop listening!
