Tamed by Rebecca Zanetti is the novella between books Shadowed and Marked. This time the couple is Caleb and Lily. Caleb and Lily could've been together but Lily choose duty over Caleb and mated another and once you mate it's forever. Sadly Lily's mate did not long and Lily became a prophet dedicated to the Realm.But since Lily got infected by Virus-27 and that takes away the mating process that could mean that Lily and Caleb could finally be together. However something has been bothering Lily, Caleb and also Guiles. All three of them have nightmares of a woman called Fate telling them that they have to kill Janie Kayrs. Caleb and Lily are tormented about these visions and don't know if they can really trust what Fate is telling them.To make matters worse Franco offered a Kurgan cure for the virus but in exchange he wants Lily. Lily knows she can't trust Franco and she doubts he even has a cure but if he does she would trade herself to save all the vampire mates and witches.Caleb and Lily decide to defy Fate and protect Janie. However Guiles confronts Lily and asks her why she hasn't killed Janie yet. Lily learns that it has been Guiles who has been invading her dreams. Guiles knocks Lily out and brings her to Franco. Caleb, Dage and Jase learn of Guiles's betrayal and follow him to save Lily.In spite of the brave rescue, Franco manages to capture both Lily and Caleb yet Lily and Caleb turn the tides against him and Caleb manages to kill Franco. Lily learns from Janie that Janie has also seen Caleb and her son and that her son will someday be be born.In Lily's quarters, Lily admits to Caleb she should have chosen love instead of duty all those years ago but now she chooses love this time. Caleb tells her that since they can't mate until the virus is cured they should follow the human customs and Lily asks him if that was a proposal. He answers yes and her answer is also yes.I liked Tamed and I was eager to finally see Caleb and Lily become a couple. My only complaints are that since this is a novella I felt like Caleb and Lily's relationship was a bit rushed although they always were in love with each other still I felt like they got together a little too fast. Also I felt like Tamed was mimicking what happened in Claimed where the prophet is rescued but turns out to be a betrayer except that Guiles took a lot longer to show his true colors.Still I liked Tamed and Janie's story comes out next. I can't wait!
