Fate's Call

The King's Riders #0.5

by C.A. Szarek

A runaway daughter, seeking escape from abusive hands. A journeyman tanner willing to risk safety to aid her. When Jarek steps into the alley to toss out the trash, he finds Erron and can't look away. Even when her father roughly jostles her out of sight, claiming she'd made a wrong turn. He should leave well enough alone, but those desperate eyes haunt him. And he's never been one to turn his back on someone in trouble, especially the most beautiful lass he's ever seen. He just never imagined it'd be his life in jeopardy, and his heart that needs saving.

I've listened to all the other books in this series, and have really enjoyed the whole series! The narrator does a really great job, and I love her accent for the story. This book didn't quite connect with me as much as the others in the series, so I marked it a bit lower than the others, but the writing is still on point and as I said earlier, the narration is great. Erron's father is absolutely horrible to her. Think of the worst thing a father can do to a daughter, and that's what he does to Erron. She tries to escape, but she does it half heartedly in my opinion. She ends up meeting Jarek, but it's short lived when she's taken back home by her father. Jarek and Erron feel instant connections with each other. Jarek sees something isn't right between Erron and her father, but doesn't step in in time. I was disappointed that Erron seemed resigned to her situation, and wasn't doing more to escape. Also, when the opportunity arises to be helped she doesn't take it, Erron lacked strength in this situation, and allows Jarek to enter into a situation that he doesn't fully understand. Jarek and Erron barely even talk before they profess their love for each other; Erron is especially quiet, so I would've liked to see more of why these two connected. It is a sweet romance though, and Jarek is a sweetheart. Overall, it's a good story, and is interesting.

It was okay for a novella. I think I would have liked it much better had it been like the others in the King's Riders series. This feels so out of place in the scheme of things. If I am correct this might be from the same world as the others but its not part of it. Camden is mentioned but we dont see him or anything is known about him. I could be wrong and it might not even be the same person. I also think that there was so much violence that it was hard to grasp anything else. So much Erron went through and was still going through. It was hard to understand her very quick draw to Jarek. I liked both characters. Dont get me wrong. Feels too rushed and maybe its because its a novella. I DO like the extra epilogues she offered at the end.

This is book four in the Knights Riders series although it could've been a book as a single. It wasn't quite what I expected after reading the first three books. Although it was still most definitely still a good book and well written as all the others are and an amazing story. The book is an awesome read I read it in a few hours.

A short novella full of violence and sweet love. The story moved quick and I would’ve liked more development with the characters and their relationship. I enjoyed the duel epilogues especially the last one it made me smile.

Very powerful story!

Warning!
To begin I am obligated to say this story could "Trigger" sensitive issues. It does include details of horrific child abuse and violation.

That said this also tells of healing. No one's life should be without Hope. All of our future's should be full of possibility. To poorly quote another's words. We are not limited by the sum of our past. It only takes one moment to change everything. May more unjustly broken find their moment. Just like this.
