First off, just to pass along some quick info I got from Nikki - right now FATE is priced at 99 cents... but ONLY through the end of February.  Otherwise, you'll pay $2.99 - so... DON'T DELAY, BUY TODAY!  :)As I've mentioned in an earlier blog post, Nikki sent me parts of FATE to read before it was complete.  Now that the story is complete, and I've had the opportunity to purchase & read it all the way to the end, I wanted to give feedback...Let's get the crappy stuff out of the way.  There were some points where the internalization of dialogue tended to drag the story, ala many NA genre books.  However, instead of angsty crap, (THANKFULLY!) we're treated to a more philosophical pondering, such as:"Euripides, a Greek scholar, once said: 'When love is in excess, it brings a man no honor nor worthiness.'  Emily figured that the same was true of a woman.  She'd loved one man too long, too much, to the point of madness...and her plans were dishonorable."I personally found the philosophical musings added more to the story on the second read, so please don't let it put you off if you aren't fond of that plot technique!Now let's get to the good stuff.Have you ever wanted a piece of chocolate so badly that your mouth waters for it?  Well, consider Paul that chunk of chocolate, and Emily’s mouth has watered for a long time.  Her "interest" in Paul, her older brother's best friend, borders on obsession/stalking, so she decides the best way to get over it is to stage an undercover seduction.  Using colored contacts and hair coloring, she transforms herself into Candy, travels out of town to where Paul is, and picks him up for some happy happy time.  However, Paul falls for Candy and wants to see her again and Emily has to decide how to reveal her deception to Paul without losing him.  FATE reveals what happens when you acknowledge and go after your desires – without considering the consequences for your heart.Highlights of the story for Snarky Mom:- Nikki brought back my book boyfriend, Andre Chevalier.  (Note to Nikki - I expect him in my next care package from your neck of the woods.  Just sayin'.)- FATE has some battery burnin' sex scenes.  (You can always count on Nikki Sex to create steamy sex!)  Be prepared for: m/f, oral, anal, spanking/flogging, restraints, BDSM.- There are interesting subtexts about family relationships, physical appearances (Emily has had breast enlargement), some karmic retribution for the high school mean girl and a great plug for rescuing animals.- Not only does Andre play quite a bit of a part in FATE, but we also get a chance to "check in" on John & Kelly Taylor from the Bound and Freed (Boxed Set).- Have I mentioned the smexy scenes?Nikki started out writing "basic" erotica and each release gets better and better as she evolves into a great romantica (romantic erotica) writer.  Even if you don't personally believe in fate, you can believe that this FATE will provide you a thoughtful, heart-warming and body-tingling read!DON'T DELAY - BUY TODAY :) !!!
