General: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Spice: 🫦🫦🫦🫦🫦
Tropes:
🧛🏻♂️ PNR
🧛🏻♂️ Fated mates
🧛🏻♂️ Piercings & tattoos everywhere
🧛🏻♂️ MFM
🧛🏻♂️ MM
🧛🏻♂️ Forced proximity
"Oh fuçk. Yeah, that's it. Çhoke on my diçk like a good boy."
The first line of Destined Trinity by Christine Besze tells you all you need to know of what you can expect from the book.
There are these two heavily pierced and tattooed vampire MMCs, who are searching their missing piece. The FMC is a witch, unaware of her fate. The plot is easy to follow and fast paced.
Did I mention all the smut and spice which leaves you craving for more? Christine described it so graphically, that the film will live in my mind rent-free. I loved the strong relationship between the two vampires as much as the one between them and the witch.
So, if you are looking for a smutty vampire story, spiced with some lycans - you found your match.
Destined trinity will be released on June 7th.
Quotes:
"Is this for me?" I palm his diçk through the leather of his pants and give it a hard squeeze, tugging on his Jacob's Ladder.
"You don't have to like us to fuçk us."
"Because I'd rather stay here and fuçk you in every h0le until you're dripping with our cųm and too weak to move."

This book packs a lot in for its size!
It's a spice heavy book with fallen angels, nephilim, vampires, witches, lycans, demons and prophecies.
There's a lot of world building and character introductions taking place with a HFN ending and lots of open plot threads to pluck for further stories. As I understand it, this book is going to be a prequel to further stories so I'm hoping those open plot threads will be tied up in the stories to come.
The concept of this book is good and its well written, but for me it left me with a lot of questions and confusion. I had to make notes then go back through the book several times to find my answers and even then some of the questions weren't resolved.
While the story is enjoyable overall, and the spice scenes are on point, for me there were too many unanswered or disjointed parts of the plot that I feel need tidying up. Once they are I think it'll be a really good book.
Below are a few of the unresolved queries I have with the plot:-
Timeline - the book takes place over a 3 week period.
However at the beginning Elek is observing Kiara at the book shop for 4 days and doesn't make a move or approach her. There's no explanation for this. Considering they're desperate to find her, why wait 4 days? They only take her once the Lycans show up and there's a fight.
The bloodstone - is mentioned a lot and seems to have an important role but its use has contradictions. Its supposed to shield her from being found/protect her by muting her powers. Yet later its mentioned her powers are no match for her mates WITHOUT the bloodstone, suggesting she needs it to be more powerful. When the MMCs first take Kiara its suggested only her mates can take it off her, but its never officially confirmed or elaborated on. Later during the Lycan attack on the castle, the MMCs tell Kiara to run and find the bloodstone to keep her safe but the Lycans already found her once with it, they know what she looks like, so what's the point of it being mentioned at all. It seems like it's outlived it's use. I feel like the bloodstone use in the story needs to be tidied up/clarified.
The mating ritual - is mentioned several times throughout the book, that there are steps. However the steps are never clearly defined in the story. They obviously go through them, but you're left to figure it out for yourself.
Ysabel - at one point in the story Ysabel drinks with Kiara. We later find out the wine is spiked with the MMCs blood, to which Ysabel punches one of the MMCs and is mad at them for using her to trick Kiara into drinking it. There's no explanation as to how she realised its spiked (we can only assume its because theyre both drinking it), she also doesnt do anything to stop it and only tells Kiara about it after she's let her drink it. Why didn't she intervene as soon as she knew if shes that upset about it? Its hinted that shes upset due to her own story but never elaborated on. Ysabel is a bold, outspoken character who isnt afraid to stand up to anyone and wants to be Kiara's friend. So this behaviour doesn't seem to fit without further explanation.
Samael - shows up and makes a big fuss over having a party to celebrate them finding their mate. It's suggested he has ulterior motives but nothing comes of that. He leaves, then returns at a later point in time for the party.
During the party he mentions The Rapture, which is not clearly defined, but left for us to assume its the mating ritual. Then he and his Demon party leave abruptly after mentioning it. However the mating ritual ends up taking place over a week later. The timing of the party feels disjointed.
At the end of the party there's a spice scene before the Lycans attack. During the battle Samael and his Demons never appear to help, yet they were at the castle shortly before. They've just disappeared from the story and then Samael reappears in the story when one of the MMCs gets hurt and helps to find the traitor. There's no clarification as to where they were/why they didn't help during the battle, or why Samael is helping to find the traitor. Samael then stays for the beginning of the rescue mission but disappears during it with a cryptic message of having other things to attend to. Again this feels a bit disjointed and needs further clarification (perhaps this will come in the following books).
Magical barrier - During the Lycans attack on the castle there are witches using magic and Kiara can use a little of hers. However, at the beginning of the story there's a magical protection barrier around the castle that prevents magic being used with no mention of the barrier being broken.
Witches - A couple of days after the battle the witches show up at the castle with no explanation on how they found the castle, when it's been mentioned that no one knows the location throughout the story. They then offer to help with the rescue mission and return Kiara to the Nephilim, when throughout the story they have been keeping her hidden from them her entire life. It is clarified that Natalia was planning on revealing Kiara's true story and delivering her to the Nephilim "when the time was right", but considering she only had 3 weeks left to live and Natalia had to explain to her that she had been lied to her whole life...the timing isn't believable.
It's also mentioned the Coven were granted power by Kesebel for protecting Kiara but that story isn't elaborated on - what power? What happens when Kiara dies? Have the Coven been responsible for Kiara throughout each lifetime or just this one? I feel this part of the story needs more fleshing out.
Kiara's lifetimes - Kiara has died multiple times throughout history with her mates having to watch. However her reincarnation process isnt elaborated on, all we are told is that her memories are wiped each time. so it's not clear if her entire body is reincarnated or if its just her soul reappearing throughout history or whether there are any changes that comes with that process. During the explanation from her Mates about how she dies Kiara says "that makes no sense, you're immortal" when they were talking about HER deaths. It does lead to the MMCs talking about how they can die, which is used against them later, but its still a disjointed part of the story and could use some work to flow better.
Mates - while Kiara is Fated to Elek and Matyas. Farkas has his own mate prophecy, which he tries to take Kiara for. While he claims shes his mate as well, he later references her as "Your mate" to one of the MMCs and it's also suggested throughout the story that his true mate is still unfound. This area of the story feels muddy. If he knows she's not his mate then the only reason to take her would be to spite the Nephilim and prevent their prophecy from being fulfilled. There would be no need to attempt to breed her, because he knows it would fail. If she is also his mate then the consequences of her mating with the nephilim need to be clarified. Farkas escaped and they consider him to be a risk to Kiara even after they've completed the bond, so does this mean he can still mate with her? Its suggested Farkas wants to breed an army for a war (an agreement he made with the traitorous witches) and that pups aren't surviving past birth for the last few centuries, yet they haven't gone extinct in this time? I feel this part of the story needs clarification, but perhaps some of these questions will be answered in future stories.
All in all its a fast paced, action packed, spice filled read but I would like to see some more of the plot fleshed out in the future to appease my curious mind.

If you enjoy dark paranormal with steamy scenes you will love this story. You have vampires, witches and lycans but in an ominous world. Our guys Matyas and Elek (vampires) are looking for their mate Kiara (witch) the missing piece of their Unholy Trinity. Kiara does not make it easy for the guys to win her over once they find her. She is afraid but attracted at the same time. The author did a wonderful job of giving us background of the characters that helped build the story. It is truly a well written story that before you know it you are on the last page.
May 28, 2024
Wow! I was not expecting chapter one to start off the spice right away and in such a glorious way. But once I got over the shock the book took off and the story caught me and the characters made it more enjoyable. I will say if spice is not your thing this book might not be good for you.
Happy Reading

Wow!! Where to start...the story was mind-blowing!! I fell in love with characters, and their banter was top shelf. The scenes are so vividly detailed that it felt like I was there! Let's not forget the spice that was off the charts hot, sexy, smutty, and downright perfection. Highly recommend and can't wait to read by this outstanding author.

If you’re looking for a novella with lots smut, then this is the book for you. To me it needed a little bit more background in the beginning with how many different fantasy characters are in this book. The spice was some of the spiciest that I’ve ever read but it needed a little bit plot to really enjoy it for me.

*ARC review* This was my 1st story by Christine Besze, and it started off hot and kept on burning! I absolutely loved the lore that was involved in this PNR, as it took vampires, witches, and lycans in a new direction that did wonders to my imagination! This Fated Mates story was full of twists and obstacles, having me craving more backstory to dive more into how we arrived where we did at the start of the story. There was mystery and a little angst, and a lot of 🌶 that kept this story of these characters interesting, and the HEA, while satisfying, also left me wanting (aka needing) more of this world and these characters!
June 16, 2024
I didn't really connect that much with the characters. It's because everything felt a little rushed i think.
But overall it was an okay book!

What a rush!
Christine Besze has ventured into the paranormal with a bang. This is dark romance, and when I say dark, I mean pitch black. The creatures of hell dominate the story and the world building is supremely done. We get enough background to appreciate the characters and just not enough which keeps us hooked for the next one. Hopefully there’s a series in the works because this universe is too good to let go off already.
That being said this book is not a cliffhanger. It’s a fated mates HFN, with the premise of forever, but with a teaser of more to come.
The spice is not for the faint of heart and I highly recommend reading the trigger warnings. Everything is eloquently and beautifully done though without ever venturing into the crude debauchery that other authors might use for effect.
MMF is a theme but it is not in a kink sense of it. More it’s a trinity fated mates thing and albeit spicy AF it’s more part of the story than out on display as a kink.
All in all it’s a well researched, well thought out and cohesive story that includes a few other themes rooted in the classics such as vampires vs lycans, vampires vs witches, fallen angels and much more.
Besze has written us a paranormal masterpiece without ever abandoning her roots in romance.

~~I received an ARC of this book~~
I have read books that had vampires in them but this is my first book about vampires. It is also a MMF book who’s characters like to have a lot of s*x. One thing I liked is these parts are not written distastefully which some authors tend to do. The basics of the story is that 2 fated mates are looking for their 3rd mate and they come across some “obstacles” along the way that make them getting to the point of completing the mating bond difficult. You get a healthy dose of vampire -vs- werewolf in this book and Christine does a great job making sure that the story flows smoothly as there are a few things to keep track of to understand everything happening. This book is 202 pages yet it keeps you pulled into the story and before you know it you are at the end. I would definitely recommend giving this book a try especially if you like books about vampires, witches, werewolves or if you just have a thing for tatted up and pierced (in multiple places 😉) men in leather pants 🥵

If you're in the mood for a tale that kicks off with a bang - or should I say, a choke ;) then "Destined Trinity" by Christine Besze might just be your next guilty pleasure. Kiara, our sassy 44-year-old witchy protagonist, finds herself at the center of a celestial tug-of-war.
Enter Elek and Matyas, the Nephilim duo with more ink and metal than a stationery shop. These guys aren't just here to look pretty; they need Kiara to complete their triad and fulfill a prophecy. But wait, there's a twist (of course) - the lycans want a piece of the Kiara pie too. It's a race against time, with All Hallows Eve looming and a mate bond that needs sealing before Kiara's life hangs in the balance.
The supporting cast deserves a shoutout, especially Ysabel, who's as fierce as they come. And of course, the element of betrayal that adds a twist, because what is a compelling story without a touch of treachery and kidnapping?
Now, I won't lie, I was secretly hoping for some knotting to make an appearance, but alas, it wasn't meant to be.
Christine delivers a steamy, fast-paced read that's as dirty as it is fun, with a happily-for-now ending that leaves you wanting more. And the good news? There's more to come. With a cast of characters that are as intriguing as they are hot, I'm keen to dive deeper into their stories. I'm looking at you Samael *bites knuckle*
So, if you're into blood play, dub con, all the combos of MM and F you can think of oh AND pierced... well, you know, then "Destined Trinity" might just be the sinful indulgence you've been looking for. Enjoy the chaos, my fellow bookworms.

ARC Review: This story had me wanting more! The spice in this was glorious. I absolutely love MMF books, especially when there’s ⚔️ play and mutual love and sharing. This was very spice-heavy, and the only reason it’s not a 5-star read for me is that I loved the plot but I wanted more of it!
I loved that the FMC was 44 going on 45. I feel like too many romance books have FMCs in their 20s, and it’s like, y’all, I swear we’re still sexy past 30, okay! So the fact that she was fully into her body and wants, I was like, YAAAAAS BIH🙌🏼.
I’m a dark romance lover, and I don't know if I would technically consider this dark romance. I can see that there are a few elements that might consider it dark, but this gave me more paranormal/monster romance erotica vibes, which I still absolutely love.
If you’ve read any of Kathryn Moon’s Tempting Monsters or Sweet Omegaverse series and you enjoyed them, then I think this is right up your alley in terms of spicy scenes to plot balance.
Some of my favorite items from this book without giving spoilers:
1. Both the gifts haha !!! one was a dream the other was a surprise I throughly enjoyed!
2. Piercings 🫠🤤
2. Quotes:
- “Forty-five? The number of new beginnings.”
-“You are the water that soothes the fire coursing through my blood, and she will be the earth that grounds us to this world.”
-“It’s added flavoring to our favorite meal.”
-“Kneel on your throne like the queen you are”

Elek and Mátyás are nephilims, who have been waiting for a very long time in order to complete the triad which will be their lost female mate, after waiting centuries to find her again she is found.
Their awaited mate, Kiara, is a witch who will not only help to complete the triad but has no clue of the history that surrounds her and her past lives.
This book started off with a bang in the best sense and it just continued from there! I can be honest and I was not expecting it this book to be as spicy as it was but holy heck it was great from page one, which I won’t lie I read a couple of times!!

I would honestly describe this as more paranormal dark romance with some slight religious aspects but that deals more with the fallen angels that are introduced. This is a super quick and fun read that will have your jaw on the floor in a good way!
There are plenty of characters to go around for additional stories that can fall in this universe and I really hope we get to see some of them soon!!

Two vampires and a witch walk into the forest…. And it gets SPICY!
Okay not exactly how it goes. Well, at one point… anywho, I am NOT going to spoil the book but I AM going to tell you this is my first vampire/witch MMF romance and HOLY VAMPIRE SMUT, BATMAN! Christine Besze left no crumbs.
It amazes me that she was able to fit this story into 200 pages, yet still keep my imagination running wild. The detail of the characters and surroundings, the backstory and plot; literally no questions were left as to why or how things went the way they did. And that first sentence?! 🥵😮💨 The book was so good I had to take a side quest and make a playlist and have yet to stop listening.
Another great thing about this book was the side characters! Ysabel is hilarious and hands down my favorite. She neeeeeds her own book. 🤣 I have it on good authority (her Goodreads) that there will be a 5 book series about “the Fallen 5” and I am HERE FOR IT!
Long story short? Read it. You won’t be sorry. 😈 I’ll leave you with this…
““What now?” “She thinks we’re monsters.” His icy gaze holds mine as a storm of emotions brews behind those eyes. “So, let’s show her who her mates really are. What kind of monsters she’s going to be in bed with.” He grins as his fangs come out. “Time to go hunting.””

Oh my!! WHERE DO I BEGIN?! This book does not wait to get into things! The spice in this book is pretty 🥵! I’d have to say 4-5 spice depending on your baseline. I was privileged to get an advance copy and I’m so very thankful. Me being newish to dark romance I may not have picked this on my own. It gave me a twilight vibe but adult version and more on the vampire side. I did not know what I signed up for and was hesitant to continue after page one. I had to give it a moment. In all honesty this is my first for many tropes in this book and I’m not disappointed I kept reading I felt I had a duty to finish since I signed up for it. Never thought two man and a woman would be so hot!! The intimacy that evolves is great! There are intense moments. I loved the chases. I felt this book was very well written. I truly enjoyed it. I will say that sometimes I got lost in some of the new names wondering who that was. Some of the names for things were translated in the beginning but there were some others I didn’t see translated so I used my friend Google! Also, I did not know there were so many different male piercings. Also, my friend Google educated me on them. I would definitely recommend this book. Give it a try!

I tried really hard to like this, but unfortunately it is not for me. I DNF'd at 75% because the plot was barely there. 75% through and all I got was that this trio mating is supposed to help the vampires walk in day, there's werewolves that are after her too to stop the pairing(Still not 100% sure on the why), and that the mythical species(vampire, nephilim, shifters, witches) are descendants of fallen angels. Oh and theres some conflicting prophecies and reincarnation happening too.
The spice was decent and I learned some new piercings, but it could have been more fluid. The characters would go from talking about the evenings plans on opposite sides of the room in one paragraph, to touching each other the next. No character movement or build up... for lack of better term- the reader foreplay was slim to non-existent.
If you're looking for a spice filled book and aren't too worried on plotline, you might like this one. If you're a reader who needs plot to get into the characters before they get it on, skip this one.

Destined Trinity is a super spicy MMF fated mates love story that starts with a hot spice scene between our two MMCs Mátyás and Elek and never slows down.
I love the world building and backstory Christine has created for these well-written characters. She draws us right in (and not just because her spicy scenes induce hot flashes) and gets us invested in what is happening to our vampire MMCs as they search for the third mate in the trinity, the witch Kiara.
I was excited that Kiara is nearly 45 and owns her awesomeness and curvy body. It's empowering to have representation of more mature FMCs who know their worth.
If you love spicy fantasy and want some action and a little mystery thrown in, get this book. It's a quick read with multiple positive representations!
Spice: (5/5)
MM, MFM, MMF, MF

SOME SPOILERS!
This is a great fantasy book with lots of spice!
This story had vampires, werewolves, witches, and angels. I really enjoyed the story, and the lore was very well written. It was easy to understand and follow along.
The story follows Mátyás and Elek. They are two vampires looking for their fated mate to break the curse by all hollows eve. They have been unsuccessful for 400 years. Every time she dies, she is reborn, forgetting them, and they have to wait for her to be the right age. Kiara is a 44 year old women who works at her aunt's bookstore. Kiara is a witch, and she soon gets thrust into a world full of vampires and lycans. She is a part of this curse for the vampires, but the lycan's alpha thinks she is there to break the curse, too.
You will be on the edge of your seat with this adventure. It's an MMF, why choose, fated mates, and dom/sub SPICY scenes. Pick this book up!!

Destined Trinity is the smuttiest paranormal romance I've read so far and Christine Besze nailed it . And if you'd like fated mates, paranormal creatures, curses and prophecies, unexpected plot twists this is the book for you. Added bonus is the great world building with a background history and an extremely attractive characters with an undeniable attraction and a steaming hot chemistry. Oh , and I loved the story going back in Europe and the connections with the local legends. Elek , Matyas and Kiara were the perfect trinity . And there's a lot of tension, the right amount of action and magic, and a lot of fun times. So if you're curious to see what's this story about Destined Trinity is the right hot summer read for you. And it's quite a prequel to the Carnival of Sins . Because after that glimpse at the Carnival I just can't wait for all the stories .
Thanks to the author for the opportunity to read and review an early copy of this book.

WELLLL If you love dark romance, this book is for you. When I say dark, Its dark. The smut was top notch. Overall, I enjoyed the book. The opening of this book pushes you right into it. This is a paranormal dark romance with some good twists. You have side characters that make you laugh and love (Ysabel).
Story is about two mated vampires Matyas and Elek who are looking for their third mate, Kiara who is a witch to fulfill their prophecy. While they are searching for Kiara, so are the Lycans are also looking for her to fulfill their own prophecy. Once Matyas and Elek find her and convince her of their bond, there's a traitor in their mist to try and stop them from fulfilling their destiny.
The book makes you fall for the two MMC and how they care for Kiara. So glad to have been chosen for this ARC review!

Saddle up & get ready for the ride! This book starts with one hell of a bang! A general overview is that 2 already bonded mates are searching for their 3rd mate so they can complete their mating ceremony and essentially be as 1. They have quite a few hurdles to overcome in the process. There wasn't a moment while reading, that bored me. I enjoyed all the dark & twisted scenes and appreciated the detail in which it was all described. If I had to critique one thing, it'd be the timeline. I wasn't sure how fast (or not) things were moving in the world. However, that's not a big deal. There's alot of possibility left for the future! Hope to see more with these characters!

Destined Trinity is a fated mates (MMF) dark paranormal romance, filled with a mix of paranormal beings, suspense, adventure and a lot of spice.
As always some scenes/topics may be sensitive to some so check the TW/CW before diving in.
Well excuse me Christine, I was not expecting to ‘Choke’ on my coffee from page 1! This book was definitely something. Christine did a great job with the story and characters, I loved that Kiara our FMC is a mature age, call me biased but give me a matured aged, curvy and sassy woman any day of the week and I’m yours. Matyas and Elek those men are spicy meatballs.
Overall this was an enjoyable read and recommend to all those spicy PNR lovers out there

Arc review - I enjoyed this book overall!
I liked this world that was created and would love to read more from it. Especially Ysabel and Sebo!
The spice was creative and fun to read. That scene at the end…yesssssss pls give me more of those. Love it!
I honestly wished there was more to this story. Some things were left unanswered or not fully explained for me. The bloodstone, the dreamwalking, can Kiara communicate with them telepathically now too? This didn’t make the story less enjoyable for me, however. I’d recommend this read if you like MMF and supernatural entities. 🖤

How can you go wrong with a man who worships you and will allow no one else to have you or to harm you.. literally fights their enemy to protect you. Oh but wait there’s two of them and they worship you with their split tongues 🥵 🥵
Paranormal books are not my usual genre. But when someone asks you to read a dark romance MMF… I mean how can you say no?!
This book was so good and even though I’m new to this version of stories I was so entranced by the delivery and the action in this book. It was a quick read but I can’t wait to read more from this author and this world she created.

I received this book as an ARC
This book starts off hot and doesn't let up! The story was intriguing and I loved the 2 fated mates looking for their 3 mate to complete them.
I love a FMC that has some age with her! I was so happy to have her in her 40's!
The 3 main characters work well off each other and it was a great combo.
The spice is 5🌶 🌶 🌶 🌶 🌶
I would say this is more paranormal than dark romance and I'm good with that.
A good read for a spicy vampire romance!

I enjoyed this it was raw and primal yet loving. As she grows to care for them and the fullfillment of their needs and the prophesy was delightful. They waited so long for her. I am still a little bit in the dark is she now immortal too and a vampire?? would really like to know if this is true. It seems like she is or is she immortal and just a witch with powers??????? Read this if you like vampire and dominates you won't be disappointed.
