Emotional angst at its finest!! OMG…this book!!!! After finishing Shattered by Fate, I literally just sat there, like an imbecile, staring at my iPad, reeling from every emotion it evoked from me… True story.“He loved her enough to give her back her past.”The plot continued right where book one, Surrender to Fate, ended. With two unfortunate accidents. Quickly thereafter, we got the first ‘oh, crap’ moment. My exact thought was: ‘Well, this certainly complicates things…’ And sure enough, it did! How could Sarah keep a promise her heart was no longer able to remember? Trust me, prepare yourself for an angst-driven book. Sarah’s journey was far from easy. Being the fantastic writer that she is, Jacelyn Rye, made me feel every single event that occurred in this book. I was right there with Sarah….. and Will. *Sigh*“If there was anything left still tying him to Sarah, he was certain this night dissolved it.”Will and Sarah. My heart ached for them!!!!! Their situation was so heartbreaking, yet at the same time, I couldn’t help but hold on to the hope that everything would magically work out in the end. Their love ran SO deep that it brought them together, even when life stood firmly in the way. Will never thought he’d see Sarah again. Imagine his shock, when he found out she was not only back in Colorado, but now, living under the same roof as him. Gosh…the pain he felt when he found out why she had returned. Heart, meet floor.“Losing someone, only to have them return to you, was not something he was prepared to treat lightly.”Fate had a funny way of intervening. Talk about bad timing!!! Will was engaged to SATAN, I mean, Margaret, and Sarah was to Adley (oh, Adley – my heart swoons for him). Finally, Will and Sarah were together….yet, not…at all. But really, when something is worth having, when is it ever easily acquired?  This is how I saw Will and Sarah. They had one heck of a journey ahead of them, but they deserved each other. Yes, they each had promised their love to another person, but you could just tell they were soulmates. I felt it in my gut. They were meant to be. As simple as that. Their interactions throughout the book were more than enough proof of this.“He could see that he was just a pawn in fate’s twisted book.”Yeah… fate was a b...ch. Enter SATAN -- d**mit, I mean, Margaret. Mar-gah-ret. Omg!!! HOW MUCH CAN YOU HATE A CHARACTER!!!???? Because clearly, I loathed Margaret!!!!!! Like, I literally wanted to strangle her! Ugh! She had zero redeeming qualities and just… ggggrrrr. I HATE her.  She kept making an already complicated situation even MORE difficult!!! *deep cleansing breath before I die from a stroke*“…he would have to survive losing her again, to fate’s will.”And then, we had Adley. My heart broke for him, too. I loved him since book one which is why I felt so bad wanting Sarah to work things out with Will. And to make things worse, the guy can melt the panties off anyone!!!!!“Sarah,” he began, running his finger along her cheek. He shook his head and looked at her in amazement, “You are even more beautiful that I remember.” - AdleyShattered by Fate is filled with so much emotion from beginning to end, that it literally made my heart ache, break, swoon, and beat so fast I could hear it! I was so scared of reading on yet, even if my life depended on it, I could not put the book down. This was a phenomenal story, beautifully written.Towards the end, I was anxious, nervous, and excited all at once! And then, shit hit the fan, my jaw met the floor, and my eyes popped out of my head! Jacelyn Rye did a marvelous job with the ending, let me tell you. Yes, it ends in a CLIFFHANGER, but that was to be expected since this book is part 2 of 3. Yes, I NEED that third book, but I honestly loved the ending. It left me desperately wanting more. I highly recommend this book!!“Sometimes in life, we can choose our path. Other times, fate chooses for us.”
