4♥'s, plus a little swoony extra.
This third installment of the series has firmly created a fan of this series, for this reader. I'll admit, after the first Book, The Mystic Wolves, I wasn't sold. Even Forget Me Not, Book #2, it wasn't a done deal. It may have not shined like the gem it is initially, but each book added to the series makes it a diamond in the rough. It may take a little extra effort in the beginning, but it is well worth your reading time if you have a soft spot for swoony shifte ...more

This is one book I have been waiting on since I finished book 2, Forget Me Not. Belinda is not called the Queen of Cliffhangers for nothing. It nearly drove me insane waiting for this book but finally it's live and I dove immediately into it today. And I can say, Belinda has another winner on her hands. I had said prior to getting my little hands on this book, I would savor it and read it nice and slow. Well that was impossible to do. I devoured it and now crave more.

Testing Fate by Belinda Boring
It is hard to put how I'm feeling after just reading the ending of this book, but will try anyway. Thoughts like WHAT? HOW? ARE YOU KIDDING ME? OMG? WHO? and WHAT AND WHY come to my mind as I sit here in a book hangover replaying all the events that has happened in Testing Fate. Needless to say this is one of the best and most favorite reads that I have read this year. It is an amazing emotional ride that will te ...more

I was fortunate enough to receive a ARC of Testing Fate in exchange for an honest and unbiased review. "Testing Fate brings new meaning to the word swoon!" This was my absolute favorite book that Belinda Boring has ever written. I feel in love with Devlin the Vampire Enforcer from book run and was tolerant of the main character Mason. After reading the book I now can see the love for him that everyone shows I have a newfound respect for Darcy and Mason being soulmates. The story picked up brilli

I was so looking forward to this book and I still can't believe how disappointed I was, the "trials" we're dragged out and seemed more like a filler than any real plot, the wedding went exactly as expected the only good part was the last few pages which hooks you into buying the next book, which I must admit I'll give some serious thought to, when the wedding scene turned out as it did I swore to myself that I wouldn't buy any more books by this author and I nearly didn't finish it I felt so let

I was pulled into this book from the beginning and that is where I stayed until I had finished every single word that was written.
There are surprises all the way through this story, some are large and some are small, some you may see coming while others will hit you in the face. But each and everyone hold equal importance with in the book, helping to make the book one hell of a read.
Emotoins run rife throughout the book and I felt each and everyone of them, doesn't matter which character it was. ...more

This is the first series of Belinda Boring's that I have read. The characters are lovable. There is action, suspense, drama, and of course swoon worthy moments. I would classify this as NA, no full on love scenes, but will definitely get you hot and bothered. There are also some gore filled scenes too, but what else would you expect from Wolves, Vamps and Witches fighting for what is theirs?
Why did I only give it 4 stars? All of the books I have read so far on Amazon still need more editing. It ...more

Not worth the time invested. Thought everything would settle down after the events with Amber and another of these wolves would get a story.
Nope, more crap is thrown at these two and about a third of the way in I lost the will to keep reading.
Having read the first book years ago I always wanted to see what happened so grabbed the box set. Big mistake. Won’t even be reading the last book.

Favorite Lines “Memories are but thoughts. You don’t carry me in your mind; you keep me here, buried deep within. You may not remember, but your heart will never forget.” Mason cocked his head and offered me a tender smile. “Mine won’t ever forget. You have been a part of me since the first time I met you. You’re ingrained into my very soul. No amount of magic or ancient power can destroy that.” A stray tear escaped and rolled down my cheek, only to be captured by Mason’s thumb. “Have faith in u

So is it love and fate, or isn't it? Amber's accusation at the end of book 2, that Darcy used magic to steal Mason from her has led to more complications and puts at risk their plan to mate. Nathan's betrayal may just be the loophole that gets Amber off, and calls into question the legitimacy of Darcy and Mason's soul mate bond.
To help decide whether or not Darcy and Mason truly are soul mates, the Fates decide to put them through a series of tests. The tests may vary. From gauging their integri ...more

Darcy and Mason and ready for their wedding. They have been engaged for almost a year, as required by the council and once they get through with Amber's trial it will be time for their wedding. They are ready for some good after the trouble they have had recently. Only problem, Amber is not about to go away quietly. She has one more trick up her sleeve at the trial, she claims that Darcy tampered with fate.

So far out of the series this was probably my favorite. Yes it started out rocky but concluded I believe on a high note.
I would have liked to get Mason's point of view during his trials but I think it worked as well just to get Darcy's. I did call it though with who was Mason's companion how could you not.
I really enjoyed learning more about Darcy and Devlin's characters. There connection is just great. And that big twist at the end I did not even see that coming. I knew there probably was mor ...more

*swoons as images pop into memory* I've read it hours before it released but I was waiting for a special day where I had nothing else per-scheduled to share it! Everyone knows I don't mind putting up more then one post a day. But this series captured me all the way back when the first book was just three novelettes so I really wanted it to have a day all it's own. Good things are worth waiting for. And because I was waiting I can share something special! She's hit #1 on two Amazon lists! Way to

'Testing Fate' is the long awaited third book for the Mystic Wolves series and Belinda Boring does not disappoint! This author has a magical way of writing that draws you straight into the pages and you get lost in the story. That's what I love the most about this book! A story that you can get lost in. A story that allows you to become a part of it. It draws emotions from you whether you want to sigh at the romantic parts or gasp and yell and throw the pages to the walls at the dramatic parts.

Finally!!! That was my first reaction when I finished this book, but then my second reaction came barreling down on me and all I could do was stare at those last few sentences in shock.
Testing Fate picks up right where the last book left off at the end of Amber’s trial. Darcy was accused of tampering with destiny in order to stake a claim on the alpha of The Mystic Wolves pack. To solve the issue of whether or not Mason and Darcy are actually meant to be mated the Fates decide that they have to ...more

Oh. My. God. This book was excellent! It picks up right where book two's ~cliffhanger~ left off. Mason and Darcy show such strength, loyalty, determination, and love in this book. Just when you think they can't be any more perfect, or perfect for each other, they show you right up! I am becoming so very attached to all of these characters. This story had so much action, suspense, and romance it blew my mind! The beginning was so inventive and imaginative, it kept me extremely intrigued. They go

I'm a huge massive fan of this series and each one gets better and better. The Mystic Wolves series is one of my all time favorite paranormal series.
Testing Fate has reduced me to tears, laughter and more tears. We left off with Forget Me Not that completely and utterly left me in a up roar by the end where Mason, Darcy and Devlin are transported to another place.

Darcy INDEED! Darcy has put up with a lot over the Mystic Wolves Series and now she has to prove her love and that she was meant to be with Mason. Of course how angry were we when Amber came in Forget Me Not to stir the pot. I tell you that woman deserved to be slapped.
Of course what is Mystic Wolves book with out Devlin?! His supportive role with Darcy through out her tests of fate was amazing. You can tell an internal struggle with Devlin was occurring. He wanted her to succeed but at the same ...more

They are about to face their most challenging test yet, this time more than mere hearts are on the line.

FINALLY!!!!!! Finally we are getting somewhere. After the turmoil that have been a never ending roller coaster over the past two books we are finally making some headway. Mason and Darcy will sell the deal here not only with a wedding, but proving that even without the assistance of supernatural powers they are soul mates and fated to be together. I love Mason and Darcy. Darcy is courageous and daring heroine. I was exceptionally pleased to she her taking her rightful place as a powerful alpha's

Where do I begin! I had been waiting for this book for a while. Belinda Boring was fantastic. It was worth the wait! I was lucky enough that when I read “Mystic Wolves (1)” I was able to get “Forget Me Not (2)” quickly. Boring leaves cliffhangers that make you want to slap your momma or whoever is close by. “Testing Fate” was no different. I was on the edge of my seat through the whole book. I love Mason and Darcy. And please let’s don’t forget the unbelievable Devlin. How can you go wrong with

This book is very different from the first two. Bringing in the three Fates, another realm, and the entire topic of destiny and soul mates was a great set-up for the pure love and adoration shown between Mason and Darcy. I found myself tearing up in certain parts. Such purity of emotion. When one of the Fates admits to interfering, the most romantic couple in werewolf books are thrown into a whirlwind of going back to the past and righting wrongs.

I’m TEMPORARILY calling off the lynch mob... for now. After finishing Testing Fate, I have a few monikers of my own for the “Queen of Swoon”:
Sire of Suspense
Countess of Cliffhanger
Administer of Emotional Torture
But all kidding aside, I’m very happy with this latest installment of the Mystic Wolves. Once again, Belinda Boring did not screw around by going straight to the meat of the story and leaving out any unnecessary filler or fluff.

I was curious about the trials that Darcy and Mason had to go through. It was not at all what I expected. I felt somewhat let down in that regard. I did like the background information that was learned through the story, but I felt kinda let down. I also thought the story would have been more gripping by telling Mason's side of the trials in conjunction with Darcys. I found myself skimming the wedding plans, too many details for me. They seemed to drag on and on. I kinda saw something like what

This book sent my emotions into a major tailspin. It totally tested my sanity. I laughed out loud, I cried, i yelled at characters and i even yelled at the author at one point. You name the emotion, any emotion, it hit me at one point during this book and no doubt straight after a total opposite emotion hit me. Belinda Boring is the Queen of Cliffhangers. This woman is gonna be the death of me one of these days. If you haven't read the two previous books in the series The Mystic Wolves Forget Me

Since the last line of Forget Me Not, I have been dying to find out what was in store for Mason, Darcy, and of course, my favorite vampire enforcer - Devlin. Belinda Boring did not disappoint! Testing Fate was an unbelievable emotional ride! There is no shortage of excitement, action, love, anguish, laughs, tears, and most definitely, SWOON. I was so worked up while reading this book that I literally walked around my living room talking back to the characters as I read. Okay, maybe I sound a lit

“Are you suggesting Darcy and I must be penalized for something we neither instigated nor wanted?” Mason asked, leaning forward in his chair. His own power crackled in the air around us, the mantle he held as Alpha teasing my senses as his wolf stirred. He still kept his tone respectful, but there was no denying his frustration and disbelief. “I”
