Fast-paced Adventure!

I thoroughly enjoyed SAVING DESTINY, a dark and sexy adventure about a crystal healer and the demon blackmailed into kidnapping her. I want to read more paranormals from Pat White!

Enjoyable Read

Saving Destiny (Silhouette Nocturne Series) Saving Destiny by Pat White is final story in the Dark Enchantments series. I found it to be a very enjoyable and interesting read, the characters were likable and mostly believable. I did think that the character of Destiny went through a lot of personality changes in a very short time as she changed from being a scared and timid girl into a strong, confident , and powerful woman. But then again the book was only 280 pages long, and the author did a good job of explaining everything in a satisfactory manner. KN reviewer for kaseysview.blogspot.com

A thoroughly captivating paranormal romance

This was my favorite of the series, due to the strong characters. Both the hero and heroine grow a lot through the story and the way they change is fascinating. Highly recommended.

superb romantic fantasy

In England, the Cadre captures Kadenshar and to his shame forces the demon warrior to journey to the United States to bring to them American research scientist Destiny Rue. Kadenshar, who is afraid of nothing and is the best at tempting mortals to sin, fears this female; he believes she is the legendary healer Crystal Goddess, whose peacemaking activities will annihilate his species. Destiny fears she is going insane like others of her family as she starts hearing voices. When she meets businessman Kade Sharpe she is attracted to the handsome hunk who surprises her by displaying interest in her work. He also tells her about the Crystal Goddess while suddenly needing to keep her safe by protecting her from his demonic brothers trying to kill her before she attains her destiny, which would, as an unintended consequence, eradicate their race. This superb romantic fantasy works because of the believable metamorphosis of the male lead from cold blooded Kadenshar the demon to warm blooded in love Kade the protector. Destiny also changes due Kade's entry into her life as she finds she has someone to lean on and trust while coping with a fate that makes insanity seem welcome. Pat White delivers with the thrilling SAVING DESTINY. Harriet Klausner

3.5 stars - Final book of the Dark Enchment collaboration

Saving Destiny was a pleasant enough read but I would have enjoyed this book more if I had read it before Night Mischief (Silhouette Nocturne). Both books in the Dark Enchantment collaboration were variations on the same theme- demon hero out to seduce the heroine for some nefarious purpose, but instead being himself caught in the sticky web of love - but, since Night Mischief did it so much better, this felt sort of like a retread. Admittedly, Saving Destiny was a bit different in that the heroine Destiny was going through her own transition at the same time as the demon Kade is trying to convince himself that demons don't love and he's just protecting her to save his brother. Over the course of the story Destiny develops from a weak human on the verge of insanity into a powerful goddess/healer destined to keep the balance between the demon and human world and the catalyst is the power of love. Though this is supposed to be the final story of the Dark Enchantment collaboration, there really were enough side characters that were interesting enough to deserve their own books, so I wouldn't be surprised to see a few more Dark Enchantment books pop up the the future. The collaboration was a fun idea, and other than sharing the same world, and a few characters from other books making short appearances- Mersey from Familiar Stranger (Silhouette Nocturne) had a small role here - the books were totally standalone so they can be read in any order. If you've already read the others, you will probably want to read this one too. If you haven't, this one was the weakest of the bunch so don't let it put you off from reading the others or you'll miss out.
