Divinely Exciting

In Divine Destiny by Gwyneth Bolton, The Divine created a world where she desired nothing more than for couples to live in harmony with their soul mates in the heavens. Unfortunately, her plan was continuously destroyed by her jealous brother, The Cultitude, who caused discord among the couples. Distraught by her children's disobedience to her will, The Divine kicked her children out of the heavens and sentenced them to walk the earth apart from their mate until they found each other. It was not until the earth was destroyed and a select few took refuge underground, that couples destined to be together realized the gift that The Divine bestowed upon them. These couples, who were only a half, became whole when they were united with their mate. As The world began to grow, greed, which was fueled by The Cultitude, began to set in. The monarchy robbed the poor and a revolution began. At the age of fifteen, Darwu, The Prince of the land, found his other half when the village she lived in was destroyed. Immediately, he knew Kara was his. Unfortunately, his joy was short-lived when her uncle, the man he believed slaughtered the village, snatched her out of his grasp. As the years passed, Prince Darwu thought of nothing more than to get revenge on the man that stole his other half and sentenced him to a life of loneliness. Relentlessly, he went about destroying the revolutionaries who dared to question the integrity of the monarch. When the time came for Kara to fulfill her destiny as prophesied many years prior, her uncle sent one of his finest warriors to speak with Prince Darwu--Kara. As soon as the couple laid eyes on each other, they become inseparable. The question then became who would change in the name of love. Would Kara sell out her people to fit in with the royals, or would Prince Darwu sell out his family to do the right thing for the people under his father's rule. As a fan of science fiction and fantasy, I thoroughly enjoyed this read. Ms. Bolton's ability to weave a story with just the right amount of conflict and romance is nothing short of remarkable. In addition, her characters were unforgettable. Long after the last page was turned, I found myself thinking about Kara and Darwu. If you are a fan of romance, with a little mix of science fiction and enough steamy romance scenes to keep your eyes glued to the pages, Divine Destiny is a definite must read. T.

The Royal Warrior's

I admit when I first begin reading Divine Destiny I was skeptical of how I would enjoy it. But, as I became more engrossed in Prince Darwu's tenacious drive to completely annihilate the rebel Resistance he blamed for the murder of his "Sacred Mate", I was hooked and I'm glad. Prince Darwu the only child of the King and Queen of Ourlane is known as the Warrior Prince because of his zeal in fighting against The Resistance, those considered traitors to the King's throne. Kara Millan's life is The Resistance ever since her village was destroyed and her parents were killed. Kara is no weeping damsel, she is a highly trained warrior. But, she is not ready for the real mission her Uncle Rafe has been helping to prepare her for. From the moment Kara enters Prince Darwu's camp and they discover they are "Sacred Mates" they become embroiled in often bitter and dangerously tempestuous emotions of love, loyalty, faith and passion. There are so many wonderful moments in this SciFi-futuristic novel. I love the spiritual collation between The Divine(good) and the Cultide(evil)I have hopes Ms. Bolton won't keep us waiting long for the next edition to this great reading adventure. I believe Divine Destiny is a TV drama waiting to happen.

Sensuality at its best

Zena the warrior princess had better watch out for sexy, powerful and phenomenal Kara Millan. Kara is a warrior princess fighting for her people against the evil rulers of her land. As a child, she witnessed the massacre of her parents and towns people by the rulers men. To avenge their deaths she becomes an active warrior/fighter and leader with the rebel group, "The Resistance". Prince Darwu the rightful heir to the throne is out to avenge the death of his soul mate, Kara. As a child, he witnessed what he thought was her kidnapping and subsequent murder at the hands of "The Resistance". Darwu's life mission has been to destroy the leaders of this group for her murder. Kara and Darwu re-unite in an unexpected way. She appears at his camp one day offering peace on behalf of "The Resistance but is captured and held prisoner. Kara and Darwu have the age-old struggle of who is in control. He thinks that he can control her because he is man and she refuses to be told what to do because she is after all a princess warrior. The turn of events regarding this power play is quite comical yet captivating. Ms. Bolton has really outdone herself in her transition from the genre of romance to that of erotica. The characters exude strength, determination, and sexual sensuality. The sexual scenes in this book are very believable. In most cases, Ms. Bolton's words will leave you wanting, panting, and eagerly anticipating your next encounter. This is not just a book for your to be read pile, it is definitely a MUST read.

Gwyneth Bolton's Divine Destiny is a dark, paranormal, erotic, romantic twister that will have you tied up in so many knots you won't know what hit you. From the start, I was be caught up in the dynamics of Ms. Bolton's electrifying storytelling. This thrilling novel created a whirlwind of emotions inside me. There were times where I was fuming mad at the evilness portrayed within this story; moments where I found myself wet with great desire as I envisioned Darwu's wickedly, lustful dominant attempts at taming Kara through bondage and instances where I was teary eyed at the continuous sadness, misunderstandings and heartache. As the suspenseful plot gradually increased; I found myself stumping my feet with frustration. I wanted knock some sense into Darwu and Kara's heads by making them open their eyes to the maliciousness that surrounded them and to make them see that together they could conquer all. Divine Destiny is a great suspenseful, romantic tale that demonstrates superbly that everything needs to be worked at, be it trust and honesty, building a loving relationship or whatever.

Paranormal Meets Romance = Unforgettable Love Story

The Divine Prophecy matched men and women as couples that completed each other to form perfect harmony. Once they found each other they could not be separated unless by death. Divine gave love, hope and happiness to all couples that she matched and peace flowed through the land. Her brother, Cultide, despised the bliss that his sister felt and loathed the lives of the first couple. Cultide worked to create conflict among the couples making the men rule over his bride. Divine did not want to perpetuate this distrust, hatred, and outrage so she altered the way that couples found their perfect mate by casting them out of the garden and charging them to find each other on their own. This created two worlds - the royalty and rich in the Providence of Ourlane and the Resistance that worked to overthrow them. Darwu, the Warrior Prince, found his soul mate once at the beginning of the fight against the Resistance but he let her go because she didn't recognize their bind. Darwu has fought every day searching for her, loving her, and longing for her touch once again. He couldn't understand why she didn't know him then and why she wasn't searching for him now. Darwu and his men had cornered the last major group of the Resistance, they saw victory in hand, and as they invaded the campsite there she was, Kara Millian. Darwu captured Kara and swore never to let her go even though she was one of the leaders of the Resistance. Their Divine connection would turn her heart from the nonsense that the Resistance taught. Kara did not notice the Divine connection and refused to submit to Darwu. Their lives were changing forever and it was out of their control. DIVINE DESTINY is an unforgettable love story with a dark paranormal erotic edge. Bolton has the gift of luring the reader into the storyline and making them part of the fairy-tale. The twist and turns of the love destroys one family while redeeming a country that has been wrought with death and destruction. The depth of the characters and the description of the surroundings creates a uniqueness that propels this romance to the front of the pack. Bolton is clearly the next dark paranormal erotic romance author of the decade! M. Bruner, 2005 Marguerite Reviewer of the Year for Real Page Turners [...]
