Fate (Fate #1)
by
Elizabeth Reyes (Goodreads Author)
When Rose tagged along with her big sister to a baby shower the last thing she expected was to meet a guy. But this wasn’t just any guy. This was the exciting, sexy as sin, way out of her league black sheep of his family--Vincent Moreno. Even more surprising, this heart-stopping bad boy seemed interested in her.

I must admit, i was actually REALLY dissapointed with the story... i was SOOOOOOO looking forward to Vince and Rose having been given snippets of their budding relationship in the past books, but somehow, their story kinda just fizzled in this book... sure it was very emotional but other than that i never really connected with Vince OR Rose :( Still love the author and her work though!!!
I can't wait to read Vincent and rose's story EDIT 26-6-2012 I want even more now that there is a cover <3 HURRY UP I NEED NOW <3
Edit 03rd oct 2012= I was so so so looking forward to Rose and Vincent story and miss Reyes didn't let me down I loved it. The only downside is I want more from the now then the past but I get why Elizabeth did it the way she did. I want the 2nd book in the fate series now!!!!

This highly anticipated new book is a great kick start to a new series by Reyes. I LOVE that the Moreno family line is carrying on in this spin off series from the Moreno Brother series. If you have not read the Moreno Brothers series first...then
WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR?
This family is such a highly entertaining, funny, overbearing, bossy/possessive, loving and a caring group of characters that it makes me want to be a a Moreno myself. If ever there were a book family, with extended relatives,...more

Vincent! You're now one of my favorite ex-bad-boys!!!
I was so curious on how Vincent and Rose's relationship would go. They just seemed both so innocent and young in Sal's story that I was very interested on how their love story would progress. As it turns out, it was pretty innocent, sweet and hot at the same time. It's also kinda serious if you look at Vincent's life. The plot is really awesome. I appreciate the "THEN AND NOW" parts.. they made the book more interesting. It's rare that I read...more

As much as I like reading Ms Reyes's books and I have read almost all of her books, I have to admit that this book was not as good as I had expected it to be. It was predictable and just too slow for me. I was so bored the whole way through.
Besides, I didn't feel any connection to the characters. I think Rose was just too sweet to be true. Too forgiving and just too plain. Nothing exciting about her. And Vincent, like most of Ms. Reyes's heroes, was a bad boy. He was a bad boy who had trouble co...more

I really wanted to love this one! I read it with a friend and I was surprised to see we both had the same reaction.
I did enjoy the varying POV while we were with both Rose and Vincent. I was also glad that we got just a touch of the preview in the beginning of the Now before we jumped into the Then (but I was also glad we didn't do a lot of jumping!)
Having read only one other from this author, but knowing how much everyone I knew loved her books I thought I'd be hooked into this one! But I had a...more

I wait eagerly for Reye's books. yesterday night, I was up until 4 am reading Vince and Rose's love story and I loved every moment of it. Umm its a 4.5 starrer for me as nothing can compete with ROMERO. However, Vince comes a close second. he he. Vince is cousin to the Monero brothers. But I found him more like Romero. His love for Rose, his possessiveness, jealousies... everything reminded me more and more of Romero.

I am a fan of Elizabeth Reyes I've seen her evolution as a writer, her books reflect a lot of the same values that are a part of my own life. It makes it so much easier to relate to her stories, this one really got to me because Grace had meet Vince so young and their love was so strong yet so fragile. The fact Vince found himself in such dangerous predicaments reminds me of my husband and all the choices he made or did not make when he was young. I saw my husband when I was twelve and the rest...more
I never doubted that this book wouldn't be as amazing as all her other books, not even for a minute. But I was still surprised at how much I enjoyed this book. It seems each book she writes gets better then the last!

4 1/2 stars
Elizabeth Reyes does it again. I've been waiting for Rose and Vincent's story since reading Making You Mine and first getting a glimpse into there lives and Mrs. Reyes didn't disappoint. Vincent is your typical Moreno and I love him for that and loved reading his point of view in this story. Fate starts with Rose and Vincent's first meeting that we saw in Making You Mine and continues as there relationship grows and a painful separation threatens there relationship.

I honestly didn't think it was possible, but Vincent Moreno stole my heart. I now have a Moreno tie. Alex and Vincent. Hmmm....the thoughts are spinning. Two Moreno's, one me. Could be interesting. Sorry. I have a gutter mind.
Anyway, Fate tells the tale of Rose and Vincent. They met at a baby shower in Making You Mine. Rose is Grace's younger sister. Grace is Sal Moreno's wife. Vincent is Sal's cousin. Am I confusing you? I hope not. I just want to give you an idea of who everyone is and their...more

After reading the synopsis, other than knowing that Vince and Rose meet and become friends before something more, I didn't know what to expect with this book. It is a story of young love and, I think, accurately portrays the lives of teenagers and how even trying to do the right thing, doesn't always have the best results. It seems that Vince has a knack for being in the wrong place at the wrong time and it truly affects his life. Rose comes from a similar background, but she is a "good girl". T...more
Here goes the Moreno clan once again... and all that I can do is...
What makes the Moreno clan irresistible:
1. They are all swoon-worthy
2. Very alpha male - Christian Gray material (but they're not sinfully rich as him)
3. Players, but when they find the woman for them, they stick to one
4. Very possessive - their girlfriends cannot possibly have friends who are boys.
5. Bad boys you wanna turn good.
6. They love their families, have great relationships with them.

You gotta love those damn Morenos! From the first book in the Moreno series I was absolutely smitten. These are such good books that make you want to shut the world out and just read. Don't worry though if you haven't read any of the other books Fate won't have you confused because it could stand alone. If you have read the series you may remember Rose and Vinnie from Making you Mine when they met at a baby shower. I was always curious about what happened between Rose and Vinnie during the Epilo...more
My heart took a beating while I read Fate. I’m pretty much invested in every way related to the Moreno family. Rose and Vince’s love stems from a beautiful friendship. They don’t automatically jump into a relationship. They grow close as friends over a long period of time. However, their feelings cannot be denied and they finally come together. IT’S ABOUT TIME.
Vince hasn’t always been the sweet and responsible guy he is now. His past is tainted, and he is forever trying to make up for it. Rose...more

We first met Vince and Rose in the Moreno Brothers series, specifically in ‘Making you Mine’ (book #5). However, you can read Fate (Fate #1) the spin off as a stand-alone. In my personal opinion though I cannot recommend the Moreno Brother’s series highly enough and it will always be one of my favourite Mature YA series when I need that fix in between reading other genres. Elizabeth Reyes is without doubt one of the most talented Authors there is in this genre for that fix. So go pick the Moreno...more
If you've visited my blog in the last few weeks, you've probably seen Elizabeth Reyes pop up several times. If you are looking to introduce yourself to the new adult genre right, one author I will always recommend is Elizabeth Reyes!

I must say, after having read only two books by Elizabeth Reyes, Sweet Sofie and Gio , I wasn't too sure about whether I wanted to continue to pursue her books. Sure, those two books were sweet, but I didn't at all feel overwhelmed or emotional about them.
Fate pleasantly surprised me. This is the kind of book that gets me keeping my faith in everlasting love. It was a sweet tale from beginning to end, and I was pleased that there weren't any instances of cheating or so on so forth. Both Vi...more

I waited for what seemed like forever to read Vincent and Rose's story. And I really, really wanted to love it. But I didn't. I didn't hate it, but I didn't love it either. For the first part of the book, I felt like Rose was just ridiculous. Here's this girl that grew up in a rougher part of town, with a neglectful mother, going to public school in a lower income area, and who admits that she had a neighbor that dealt drugs, yet when Vincent opens up to her about his past, she feels like she ju...more
This book was REALLY good! When I finished Making You Mine I was like "You have to make a book about Vincent and Rose!" She did, but instead of writing a book she's writing a new series! *happy dance* Then I started reading some excerpts I was like "I need to read this NOW!" They didn't have a publication date set and that just made the wait so much worse. Then one day I look at her blog and I see this: "FATE HAS BEEN RELEASED!" What the hell?!?!?!?!?! So of course I was scrambling to find this...more
Rose and Vincent! Such a powerful live story. The author picked me up on page one and carried me through. I just couldn't put the book down. The writing flowed effortlessly and the style of writing was pretty unique.
They met at a family gathering at a pretty young age. Instead of a typical story of going straight to lust this was a gradual love story.
The way the author would have the story in present time and then go back into their younger years was awesome. It was done in such a way that I nev...more

How I adore the Moreno Family. I was so happy to finish this book, so emotional, how his love for his beloved Rose made him strong and survived, while he was fighting for his life. How much she loved him unconditionally even though in her mind he did something bad. Vincent had a heart of gold he came from the bad place but in his heart he wants to make better of himself and for his Rose. So much, can a young kid from the age of 16 had gone through. Even though in a 16 year old mind he is a man....more

Just adorable, these two make my heart melt and it makes me envious of their pure love and devotion to each other. Elizabeth, again you have shown use your wonderful talent in bringing us on their journeys, you successfully achieved this through Moreno Brothers, 5th Street and now (not surprisingly because your brilliant) through the fate series.

It was..good, I like it but I dind't love it
I like Elizabeth Reyes' stories. At times they are a bit too predictable to give more stars too, however. I did like that this one went in a different direction having the Army piece in it. There is also something about the way that Reyes writes that makes some of her books difficult to read. I cannot quite put my finger on it. I guess the best way I can describe it is, when some one is telling you a story and they keep going back to add something they forgot or to give another detail or to repe...more

When I found out that the next spin off of would be about Rose and Vincent, I was apprehensive. While reading about Sal and Grace, Rose and Vincent just didn’t seem like they would have a good love story. But I was wrong!
Reyes can do no wrong in my eyes. I have never been disappointed in any of her wonderful books; Fate is no exception.

What more can I say from one of my favorite authors?! Ms. Reyes absolutely delivers in this completely awesome spin off of the Moreno Brothers series. Not ONLY do we get to see the original Moreno Brothers as well as Romero and Eric (*sigh*), but we get to meet a whole new generation of Moreno deliciousness in Vince. We get to see his romance start and blossom with the sweet and caring Rosie. It was a beautiful honest love that just makes you giddy from the start. Although they have millions of...more
