Ratings and reviews

FATE’S DEMAND by Aleatha Romig is the prequel, novella in Aleatha Romig’s contemporary, adult DEVIL’S DUET erotic, dark romance story lines focusing on Emma O’Brien North, and businessman/kingpin Everett Ramses. NOTE: FATE’S DEMAND was originally released as ‘The Deal’ in the Bookworm Box Anthology ONE MORE STEP Told from first person perspective (Emma) FATE’S DEMAND follows Emma O’Brien as she, along with her business partner Ross Underwood, head to New Orleans, awaiting the arrival of businessman Everett Ramses but when a stranger approaches Emma regarding a deal already brokered for her future, our heroine quickly discovers that not is all as it appears in the dark underbelly of New Orleans, Louisiana. FATE’S DEMAND is an intriguing and revealing short story that introduces the reader to Emma O’Brien, a thirty year old woman whose own history is marred by secrets and death, and Everett Ramses, the self-proclaimed king of New Orleans, Louisiana. FATE’S DEMAND ends on a cliffhanger-you have been warned

seemed promising. ended up cringe. short and over worded. book 2 excerpt characters personalities were different from first book. dnf.

Nice lead into a series read makes you want more.
