Advanced Reading Copy provided by the AuthorOne series...three novellas by three different authors...Brilliant idea!This series tells a story of the Fates of Greek mythology - Clotho, Lachesis and Atropos. Clotho spins new life, Lachesis sets the destiny and length of one's life, and Atropos ends life.Stealing Fate is the story of Lachesis (who modernized her name to be Lacey while on Earth) and Phobos (otherwise known as the God of Terror and son of Ares and Aphrodite), and their long overdue reunion.  With vengeance on his mind, Phobos has been looking for Lacey for centuries, hell bent on exacting revenge for her betrayal.  After she basically falls in his lap, it was time for her to get her comeuppance. And so their adventure begins.________________________________________Some may not feel this way but I'm a big fan of novellas and short stories. It takes an incredible amount of talent to write a good story with just the right amount of detail that will capture a reader's interest, hold that interest and leave a reader with a satisfied ending. Berinn Rae is one of the very special authors who have this talent.I was immediately intrigued with the mythological element of the series to begin with. Then, my curiosity was piqued after discovering the tragic past of the hero and heroine; enthralled with the intensity of their passion and completely engaged throughout the story wondering how it would all play out. Their desire for each other was intoxicating from the very beginning and felt throughout the entire novel.In such a short story, Rae made me love these characters, fret when obstacles were thrown in their way and want to slap Hera silly. Those are some pretty varying emotions to feel from a 100-page novella. A true testament to this authors mastery of the written word.Happy Reading!!5 Stars - Absolutely Loved It!!!!
