Title: Fighting Destiny
Author: Amelia Hutchins
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Hosted By: Love Between The Sheets
Synopsis:
Have you ever heard of the old Celtic legends of the Fae- beautiful, magical, and deadly creatures that have a love of messing with humans just for kicks and giggles?
Welcome to my world.
What started out as a strange assignment, lead to one of the most gruesome murder mysteries of our times. My friends and I are set and determined to find out who is killing off Fae and Witches alike.
Couple of problems in the way – I hate the Fae and the Prince of the Dark Fae is bound and determined that I work for him. He’s a rude, overbearing egotistical ass with a compulsive need to possess, dominate and control me. Oh – did I mention that he is absolutely sex-on-a-stick gorgeous and he makes me feel things that I never ever wanted to feel for a Fae...every time he touches me or looks at me with those dangerous golden eyes he seems to pull me further in under his spell, despite my better judgment.
My friends and I can’t trust anyone and nothing is as it seems on the surface – not even me.

Excerpt (Rated PG)
"I don’t make excuses for what I am, or what I do. I play hard. I love hard, and I fuck even harder Syn, I am what I am. So if you play games with me, keep in mind, I will be more than happy to play them with you—and I always win," he growled close to my ear before his lips gently fanned against mine. When I looked up, he was once again standing beside Zahruk with his lips twisted in a devastating smile that was a touch of seduction and amusement.
It was the first time I'd seen him move like that—no not move. He'd just sifted time and space. I had known the Fae could do it, and even though I'd known he should've been able to, it still shocked me to my very being. I'd never seen it done before, ever.
I brought my hand up against my lips still feeling his kiss burning against them. I shook from the need to chase him, and see where that kiss would lead to. I didn’t, instead I turned away from him, searching through the crowd for an empty spot to stand in, away from what my body was feeling for Ryder.

Scenes from Fighting Destiny©2013 Amelia Hutchins
Sex on Fire, Kings of Leon
"Not until I tell you to come Syn, in this place, I am your master, and you come when I fucking allow it. Your pussy gets rewarded when you please me, do you understand, or do I need to teach you how to serve me?"
Closer, Nine Inch Nails
"Ryder," I sighed without meaning to.
"Stop thinking, Syn. You keep over-thinking everything."
My lip trembled with the need to either kiss him, or run. I settled on biting it softly while his hands held me in place. The one on the small of my back came around softly pressing against the silk of the skirt as he rubbed his hand across my ass through the wispy material. He lifted my leg and placed it on the bed carefully.
I watched his nostrils flare as the glow became more apparent, and he allowed me to see the full fire that I’d created in him. "No panties?" He questioned through a guttural tone.
Broken, Seether
"You keep saying you can't, and it's a lie. You won't. You hide in the fucking past. You're not living Syn, you're just going through the motions of it. You want me, I can smell it—you need it as much as I do right now. The difference is, I can admit to what I want—you can't."
Godsmack, I Stand Alone
"I. Am. Not. You’re. Any-Fucking-Thing!"
"You will be," he said, with an air of confidence that only pissed me off more.
Puddle Of Mudd, Control
"I'm not sleeping with you. I don’t care if you're starving and writhing on the fucking floor. I'll walk over you and out that damn the door. I'll drag someone else back to you—but it won't be me you feed off of, ever."
His lips twitched, but his eyes stayed emotionless. "Writhing on the floor?"
"Writhing," I confirmed.
"I do not writhe on the floor, ever."
"Good, then we are on the same page." I said smoothly.
Carly Simon, You’re So Vain
Great, that’s all I needed right now. Smell the Dark Prince who is carrying you up the damn stairs like Cinder-freaking-rella!
Limp Bizkit, Behind Blue Eyes
"I'll be strong for you Syn, if you need it. You don’t always have to be the strong one, I'll be your glue if you want to crumble, I'll hold you together,"
“It just is, simple as that. That kind of love doesn't die. It withers the soul without the other to keep it alive. Eventually, it turns you bitter and cynical."
Stained, Believe
"No surprises in there, if you get in trouble this ends. Do you understand me?"
"Yes master," I grumbled, and then winced at the heat that flashed to life in his eyes.
"Mmm I like that word on your lips."
Nine Inch Nails, Head Like Hole
Ryder turned around and looked down at me sharply in warning. "Showtime Synthia, kiss me."
My mouth went dry. All the fluid inside my body went shooting straight to my vagina. I licked my lips nervously. "Seriously? That is like the opposite of what I just said outside."
"Prove you can do this, now." His eyes searched my face, and with the single look I melted for him. I was pathetic, a pile of fucking mush from once single look!
Stone Sour, Through the Glass
"How old are you?" He continued.
"Twenty one years old. Going on one hundred."
He smiled, but it was all teeth, "Funny girl."
Snow Patrol, Chasing Cars
"I didn’t forget who I was, Syn. I knew exactly who I was and who I was with when I lost control."
Three Days Grace, I hate Everything About You
His eyes lit up, and he shook his head as more Faemagic pushed into my mind. It was painful at first, but gone instantly when his lips caressed mine. I moaned and pushed against his mouth with need for him that was so hot and fierce, that I was afraid I'd be left in a pile of ash if he didn’t continue and give me more of his mouth. When he pulled away, I cried from the loss. "Ryder."
"What's your name?" He demanded in a husky voice, filled with hunger.
"Syn. Now shut up and kiss me Ryder."
Sublime, Bad Fish
I tore my eyes away from him with a nervous laugh bubbling inside of me. He stepped in and slid his magnificent body in slowly into the water. "Relax Syn, I promise to be gentle—the first time."
"The first time?" I asked meeting his hard penetrating stare.
Trapt, Headstrong
His eyes challenged me, but he remained silent as he pulled one of my legs out from where I had been holding them up against my body. His eyes stayed locked with mine as his fingers rubbed the pads of my foot. "This isn't going to be over fast Syn, it's going to take more than once to get you out of my system."
AC/DC, You Shook me all Night Long
I wasn’t sure I wanted to be out of his system. I should have been happy to hear it, but it sat like a rock on my chest. "You really think you can fuck me out of your system?"
Disturbed, Down With the Sickness
"No Syn, nothing with you could be that easy," he said showing his teeth as he pulled my leg and made me lose my balance in the water.
Kings of Leon, Use Somebody
"Not used to getting compliments, are you?" He said moving us closer together until my body was completely flushed with his.
"No," I replied honestly.
"I scare you Syn, make you feel things you are afraid of admitting."
Seether, FMLYHM
"I don’t make excuses for what I am, or what I do. I play hard. I love hard, and I fuck even harder Syn, I am what I am. So if you play games with me, keep in mind I will be more than happy to play them with you and...I always win."

Nikki's 5+++ star Review:
I was really excited when I got the email to join the Fighting Destiny blog tour. I first came across the book on Amazon while searching for a Fae book and immediately added it to my wish list. The first thing I noticed was the amazing cover! The tattoos, his glowing eyes and hands, I just had to see what it was about. The synopsis is short, catchy, and just vague enough to convince you that you have to know what it's about. Not to mention the way is Ryder described was enough for me to want it! Then add Witches with the Fae and I'm sold!
I devoured this book!! In a mere few hours it was done. I didn't want to put it down! If I didn't have 3 small kids needing to be taken care of there would have been nothing to stop me from reading it in one setting. That's how mesmerizing it is! It has such a unique concept. The story is original and fresh, the characters were strong, funny, feisty, and charming. I've read many, many Fae books but nothing comes close to this. It's full of action, humor, mystery, a bit of romance and some STEAMY, HOTT sex!!
Syn is a witch who hates the Fae. She also happens to be who Ryder, Prince of the dark Fae, wants to work for him. Of course this doesn't go over well with Syn. Ryder is everything the synopsis says he is.
He’s a rude, overbearing egotistical ass with a compulsive need to
possess, dominate and control me. Oh – did I mention that he is
absolutely sex-on-a-stick gorgeous and he makes me feel things that I
never ever wanted to feel for a Fae
There is so much to this book. Never a dull moment. Things happen that I never see coming. I know there were many times that my mouth was hanging open like O.M.G. what just happened. It made me laugh, it made me angry, and swoon, drool, and even cry! I never expected to feel so much emotion for the characters. They are easy to love and connect with.
After finishing, I was talking with one of my blogger friends also on the tour and we were speculating what's going to happen next and just exactly who Ryder is. It's mysterious and intriguing and down-right AH-MAZING!!
I suggest anyone who is a fan of Fae or paranormal books in general to STOP whatever you are doing and READ THIS BOOK! I know when the sequel comes out, that's exactly what I'm going to be doing. It's one of those that you can't wait to see what's happening next! Easily one of my all-time favorite books! When the next book comes out don't worry if you don't hear from me in a while. I will be lost in Syn and Ryder's world!
Go now to whatever retailer you buy books from and BUY THIS BOOK!!
