Giving her heart to a mortal wasn't something the First Fate planned. Losing him nearly shattered her soul. Upon his death, Clotho swore never to love—or weave life—again. Hoping she'll change her mind before it's too late, Zeus commands the spinner of life to take a much needed vacation from her immortal responsibilities.

As a rule, I try to avoid romance novels. First of all, they’re just not my bag. Give me action, blood and guts, sci-fi … hell, give me a restaurant menu, and I’ll probably enjoy it more than a romance novel.
Second, most romance novels aren’t written for me. That’s fine. I’m not the target audience and I don’t feel slighted in the least. Well … perhaps a little … but that’s neither here nor there. I’m sure if more men purchased romance novels, there’d be a whole slew of books written for them. U...more

It was a nice piece. I love mythology and this is an interesting story of one of the gods.
Clotho (Chloe) is grieving. Her heart is broken. She has stopped creating life. Her father is beside himself and her two sisters are missing.
Dane is in a bad situation. He stole drug money from one of his bosses and now the goons are hunting him down. He's been on the run for a little while now.
While getting on a bus, Dane spots a woman with sad eyes and a beautiful face. He sits next to her, but seems to...more

Her reason for existing was to create. She was the bearer of the beginning.
Anyone who knows me, knows that I am not only a fan of Rachel’s writing, I’m also a huge fan of the lady herself. It has been through her books that I have come to know this fantastic, fun lady and her books are no different! I love the idea that has been presented here, Rachel Firasek introduces us to a new series in book 1 of the Unspun trilogy in which there will be 3 novellas w...more
Creating fate is book one in the Trilogy of the Unspun series. Eagerly awaiting the email, I devoured this in one sitting. The three books will be a series but all written by different authors, and I must admit that Rachel is one of my all-time favourite authors, grasping at my heartstrings with her last series of the Phoenix’s.

Probably more like 4.5 stars.
I really enjoyed this book. It is basically a book based on Greek mythology which usually I'm not to fond of, but this book was different and interesting! I don't think I've ever read a book about the fates before. This book focuses on the first fate, the creator of life, Chloe.
What I liked:
-That you didn't need to know a lot about Greek mythology to enjoy this book. I hate books that expect you to know alot about a certain topic, but this book it was easy to read,...more

I was so excited when I got the request for the three Unspun books in my inbox. They are novellas from three different authors who have each written a love story about one of the Fates. I love reading various authors spins on mythology. Creating Fate did not disappoint. Clotho who is going by Chloe is the bearer of beginning. She creates new life for her role as a Fate.

It’s no secret that I love Greek myth and endeavor to read any and all books covering the subject, so when I heard about Creating Fate, I jumped right on it. The concept of a series of three novellas called Unspun featuring the three Fates and their various love interests grabbed me and I immediately purchased myself a copy of this book and read it in one sitting. It wasn’t exactly what I hoped for, but I didn’t dislike it. It just wasn’t developed enough for me, nor was it very believable roman...more
Fun, sexy, sweet...how can demigods not be?
Chloe has a broken heart in great need of mending. She lost the love of her life, a human (imagine that!), and thinks she'll never love again. Truth be told, she never wants to love again. The pain of losing the one is simply too much.
Dane is one of the bad boys, the thing is... he isn't really a bad boy, he's on a mission undercover and ready to crack the case, when he stumbles upon Chloe. Then everything goes down south.

Chloe’s happiness ended abruptly one day after the unexpected death of her fiancé. Since then her eternal sadness has gone unnoticed on Olympus until her father Zeus demands to know the reason for her tears. Without responding, Chloe gives him nothing, not wanting to reopen the wound or give him reason to say ‘I told you so’. In a fit of anger and determination to see Chloe through this, Zeus deploys her back to the human realm with an order to find her sisters or remain there forever. As one of...more
Rachel Firasek has done it again! Creating Fate is a fast paced, sexy read with deep lovable characters.
Clotho suffers from an abysmal grief of a lost love. She's torn between the closness she feels for the sister/fate responsible and her fury at the injustice of destiny. The time she spends with Dane draws her out of her depression and shows her that even a fate has to have love to create life.

Was a great short story to a world/characters I would love to read more of.
I received this book from Smashwords and it took me a while to sit down actually read it. I am so glad I finally did this book was really good. Chloe is strong, tough and hard headed goddess. She is one of the three fates alongside her sisters. She is sent by her father Zeus down to earth to find her sisters but what she soon faces could either break her heart or be with the man she is fated to be with.

I thoroughly enjoyed Chloe and Dane's adventure. This is a well crafted tail of true love and how when it's meant to be it happens. I especially liked how the author intertwined mythology with modern day times. Definitely a must read.
4.5 Stars
This was my first Rachel Firasek read and although it was only short, I honestly, thoroughly enjoyed it.
The first few pages had me hooked to the authors effortless flow of words. It was very well written.
Clotho/Chloe was a kick ass heroine who also had a soft heart. When she stumbles upon a sexy ass bad boy...or he stumbles upon her, she can't help her attraction, no matter how much he freaks her out with his initial demands.
Dane?? Dane was yummy. Bad boy - check, sexy and muscled to...more

I love this story so much! Clotho (Chloe) is one of the fates and is responsible for creating life. She is immortal and after a horrible twist of fate involving her oldest sister, death, she never wants to become involved with a human ever again. Enter Dane. He is everything that Chloe wants to stay away from but they are drawn together in a turn of events. Dane tries to protect her but they wind up in a most unlikely place. Dane is not what he initially seems and more turns occur. Very engaging...more
This is my first time reading anything from Rachel Firasek. Man was it good! Better than good! I read it so fast I think I got whiplash! I could not put it down for a second. I love anything and everything about Greek gods, the fates and any and all that is Greek history. She wrote us a fun, mysterious, sensual, surprising and exciting story that leaves the reader craving more.

My thoughts:
I found Rachel via Net-galley earlier this year when I delved into her Phoenix rising series and fell in love with her world building, characters and her exploration of one of my favorite topics’ mythology. Being partly Greek myself I think I have always loved the old tales told when I was a child so when I read the synopsis for Creating Fate I just about did a happy jig, for I am fascinated with the concept of fate and destiny and I love a good romance. This book did not disappoint....more

This story was short but full of action! I couldn't put it down! I enjoyed every turns, the characters, the plot and the end!
As many of you may know by now, I love Greek Mythology and this story is based on Clotho, one of the three sisters of Fate. Clotho is the one who's created things, fate, life... Once, she gave away her heart to a human male, but she loses him before they were married (DAMN!).
Now Zeus sent Clotho on earth in a search for her ''missing'' sister and she stumble or maybe shoul...more

This novella speeds along with sexual tension, danger, a hot ass hero with secrets to spare, and the woman he meets on the bus who trumps his secrets with a mega ton of her own.
Chloe and Dane's chemistry sizzles and their story will carve a place in your heart. From meddling parents who happen to be gods, drug dealing baddies, and the baggage the two main characters carry, this novella pack a punch! Excellent world building and use of Greek mythology.

Creating Fate is a short romance, but long on vivid emotions and cool characters. I love Rachel's stories and her writing style. She keeps the reader turning the pages or in my instance, tapping the right side of my screen. 5 Stars from me!
This was a quick short read. I feel it could have been a great book had it been longer and had more depth to the characters and plot. All in all it was enjoyable though.
The concept was cool, but I didn't like how quickly the main characters fell in love, etc. Their chemistry felt kind of forced at times too.
Really enjoyable novella, very quick read, enjoyable romance, and yeah, I loved it! Hope to read the rest of the series!

Cute little book. Fun characters and a solid story.
Creating Fate was such a fun story. Chloe and Dane were a hoot from the get-go; the sexual tension ramped up believably, and the hits of Mount Olympus were pure gold. Firasek writes with such verve and passion that you can't help but love the story, especially when Chloe realizes she doesn't have to hide her heart, and Dane understands what a gift he was given when he first sat down next to Chloe on the bus.

I really enjoyed this novella. I had no idea what was going on but Rachel Firasek is such a great writer I just had to find out. This is a lovely tale of the flaws of gods and mankind, and the dangers of falling for the wrong man. Even though Cloe vows never to weave life again, she weaves her way into Dane's hear,t and there is alovely twists at the end. I wanted this story to be longer. I can't wait to get into the other two books in this series.
When I first learned of the "Unspun Trilogy", I was stoked to read it based on the concept alone. I'm happy to say Creating Fate did not disappoint! I really liked Chloe - her struggle to deal with the loss of the human she loved and her guilt at being attracted to another. The fact that both Chloe and Dane were determined to protect the other was also a good touch. All in all, a great start to the series.
This is a great story. I'm not sure if I've ever read a book about a fate before so I think this was a great introduction! Sexy guy! The entire book was just a great package!! Loved it!

Rachel’s writing career began at the impressionable age of twelve with a poem dedicated to the soldiers of Desert Storm. A dark macabre affair that earned her a publication in an anthology and many raised eyebrows from family and friends, she hid her poetry and artistic style for years…
