REVIEW: BECKETT’S FATE is the second instalment in Delta James’ contemporary, adult SILVER FALLS SHIFTERS erotic, paranormal, romance series focusing on the shifters of Silver Falls. This is alpha Sheriff Beckett ‘Beck’ Grey, and wolf shifter/archeologist Irene Blakiston’s story line. BECKETT’S FATE can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty but I recommend reading the series in order for back story and cohesion as there is an ongoing premise throughout.

SOME BACKGROUND: There is a story, a myth surrounding Silver Falls , a town of shifters protecting a missing treasure of silver. Humans cannot be trusted, and outside shifters are usually looking for trouble. The treasure is connected to the original shifters, and Beck Grey is determined to protect the town at all costs.

Told from dual omniscient third person perspectives (Beck and Irene) BECKETT’S FATE follows in the wake of the arrival of our story line heroine. Irene Blakiston is a wolf shifter and an archeologist but a woman with a secret. Hunting for the mythological missing treasure of silver, Irene finds herself facing down not only a group of human hunters but the Sheriff and alpha of the Silver Falls Pack. Enter Beck Grey, Irene Blakiston’s fated mated, and the man who is desperate to protect the woman he loves. Irene is a bit of a hot head; refuses to stand down, and is struggling to trust any man, including the man that calls to her wolf.

The world building focuses on the search for buried treasure, and the human hunters stalking our story line couple. Irene and her ‘pack’ tend to keep to themselves, and in this, Irene is determined to lay claim to the treasure in Silver Falls.

The relationship between Irene and Beck begins when Irene goes on the hunt in Silver Falls. Armed with a map,determined to protect the people she left behind, Irene will come face to face with her future, her fated mate in the guise of Sheriff Beckett Grey. Fighting together to protect the town’s secrets as well as their own, Irene quickly discovers it is better to work together than to work alone. The $ex scenes are intimate and provocative without the use of over the top, sexually graphic language and text.

We are re-introduced to Ruby and Knox (Knox’s Fate 1) as well as housekeeper Delilah.

BECKETT’S FATE is a story of magic and mystery, secrets and lies, power and control, greed and mistrust. The fast paced premise is enchanting and dramatic; the romance is fast and furious; the characters are determined and charismatic.
