Book one in a four-book series

When Georgia Kentley breaks up with her long-term boyfriend Darren over Christmas, she really can't wait to return to work on the 27th of December.

The excitement dies when she meets her new boss, Walker Trent. DCI Trent is a misogynistic pain in the a--e. Being a young police officer, Georgia has met her fair share of men who don't understand that she can hold her own. Every single time she has proven them wrong.

Will she be able to prove to Walker Trent just how capable she is or will she get herself into a heap of trouble, danger, and chaos? And when chaos ensues who will be there to save her?

Uggg! Cliffhangers will be the death of me! Had I known this ended in the cliffhanger I would have skipped it. This book is so short, it is a bit ridiculous it was split into 2 books. That being said, I’ve been sucked in and will be continuing on. Because it is a fabulous read (or listen). I love Georgia and Trent! The start of their story is action packed, fun and sweet.

Georgia is a tough, workaholic cop, who falls for her new boss. As this book is very much British, I assume it isn’t as much of an issue on that side of the pond. It isn’t at all taboo for them to be together.

Georgia doesn’t want anyone to put themselves in danger to help her. Trent wants to protect her at all costs.

The narration is good. Crystal does great job at reading both povs. Overall I highly recommend.

Worth the read

I came upon this when I won an ebook from Hanleigh Bradley and love it. It has wonderful characters, strong female MC, lots of intrigue and good story line. Narration was great and I cannot wait to hear book 2. It was a short listen but I couldn't stop listening. I definitely will be checking out other books by the offer.

Wow

What a ride Bradley takes us on in the first book of her series The fate. This read / listen left me reeling with unanswered questions. A fast paced romance evolved between Georgia and Trent, each who have recently gotten out of serious, long term relationships. My only criticism is that this book takes place in the UK - London to be exact and the narration didn't have the accent. A few british words were thrown in (arse and knickers) but I think it would have made this read / listen all the more authentic with an actual accent. Don't get me wrong, the narration was good, really good just maybe not what this book needed. I really enjoyed the storyline and the characters - all of the guys in Georgia's life are out to protect her but she is tough and I love that about her. The touch as nails but still needing the emotional that she refuses to let anyone see...very well written. I can't wait to read what's in store for these two...

This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.

This is Book 1 in a four book series that must be read in the series order.

Georgia is a young detective working for CID in New Scotland Yard. Working as a female detective she has to face Male Misogyny and hold her own.
Her new boss is handsome and downright hot, but us appeal is spoiled by his attitude towards her. He has something again her from the very start.
Together they must team up to hunt down a dangerous serial killer.

This was well written and engaging. The world building was compelling and the book ends on a cliffhanger, setting the scene for book 2.

Crystal Crockett's narration was smooth and her accent was easy to understand.

An enemies to lovers romance suspense!

Right up front, I don't care for Romance books. I was skeptical when I got this. I was surprised. I actually liked it. The story was good & the narrator did a great job. I will have to check out #2.

This was a good story

The story and the characters are interesting, and the narrator did a good job with the male voices. I don't understand why the choice here was to use only 1 narrator, instead of 2 - for the male and the female POVs.
I would like to read more of these two detectives.

The story... let's start there. I loved it! The characters are brazen, a bit arrogant, and well written. The story starts with a VERY awkward scene and a little slow but things are just warming up.

One maniac followed by another took the plot through twists and turns that kept me engaged. The workplace relationship between Georgia and Walker heats up as does Georgia's defiance of the men in her life, sometimes putting her safety in jeopardy. The cliffhanger is just plain mean (mostly because I hate cliffhangers). I need to know what comes next!

Onto the narration. Crystal Crockett has a great voice for narration. She has great enunciation and pace. So why my lower rating? The book is set in London with constant references to The Yard / Scotland Yard, making it hard to forget that it isn't set in the American South and Crystal definitely has a Southern accent. I really like it but not for this book.

This is the first book in the series and ends on a cliffhanger. A tall, sharp one!
I listened to this book on Audible. The female narrator did a good job performing even the male parts. She is a easy listen and didn't over emote.
This story of a female cop and her new boss was very entertaining. Their snarky bantering with obvious attraction makes for a fun read. With murder, danger, mysterious notes, stabbing and stubbornness, attraction, and caring, I recommend this book, if you want to read a series.
I voluntarily reviewed a complimentary copy of this book from Story Origin.

A good cliffhanger serial.

Holy cow! I need more! This was awesome, the story, the plot and the romance kept you guessing. Be advised that is ends with the cliff hanger that will leave you broken in pieces. I enjoyed the whole story and the narrator did an awesome job with the performance. You have a sassy lady and a dominating man they hate each other but you know there is a thin line between love and hate. It is definitely worth the listen.

I received a free copy of this audiobook from Story Origin for an honest review.

Inescapable Fate by Hanleigh Bradley is a suspenseful romance that I listened to on audio narrated by Crystal Crockett.

All I can say is Wow! Hanleigh did an amazing job on this book! I think is my favorite book of hers that I have read so far. I absolutely loved Georgia’s character. She is independent and strong minded. I love that Walker doesn’t try to change her.

The story does end on a cliffhanger but that wasn’t much of a surprise since it’s the first book in the four book series. I can’t wait for the next book in the series Inexplicable Fate to be released on audio.

Crystal did an amazing job on the narration. She really brought the story to life.
