Fated by Rebecca Zanetti
On Feb. 22nd, friend and chapter mate, Rebecca Zanetti, launched her intriguing debut vampire romance, Fated!
This classy function was at Gourmet Way off of Government Way in Hayden, Idaho. Surrounded by flowers, chocolate and every kitchen tool you can imagine, (Not to mention the wine tasting in back…) Rebecca signed a very long line of books. Definitely a successful launch. 
As for me and my spanking new copy of this Kensington Brava release, I cannot wait to read it!
Here’s what it’s about:
MARRY ME
Cara Paulsen does not give up easily. A scientist and a single mother, she’s used to doing whatever it takes to protect her daughter. But “Whatever it takes” has never beforeincluded a shotgun wedding to a dangerous stranger with an attitude problem…
Sure, the mysterious Talen says that he’s there to protect Cara and her daughter. He also says that he’s a three-hundred-year-old vampire. Of course, the way he touches her, Cara might actually believe he’s had that long to practice…
