This is the first installment in this series, Rage is a story about Elin a witch who is on the run and Rob who finds Elin living in an abandon cottage on their clans property. Interesting story about conflict and love, their is alot of background information about Elin that made her hide and be where she is and if she can stay or if she needs to run again. I struggled some with this story since I truly enjoy reading Donna Grant, this one was some what different but I wanted more between Elin and Rob. I liked them both and characters that were helping Elin.

Loved reading the mesmerizing and enthralling paranormal story. When Rob Mackenzie tries to talk with Elin, she tries to avoid having contact with anyone and needs to hide her magic, but Rob's persistence prevails. Read the highly recommended, wonderfully written, and a riveting must read love story. Can't wait to read the next story in the series by the phenomenal author, Donna Grant.

I thought this was a good, ok book. I felt like there was information missing and that everything was rushed. I loved Ron and his steadiness throughout the book. Elin was ok. She was were I felt like I missed information at. I did enjoy the fight scene and learning about the nymphs.

I quite enjoyed how this book was a combination of historical and paranormal romance. I’ve never read a book like this, and it was very well done. There was great world building with some exciting and suspenseful action scenes. While this novel is listed as the first book of a trilogy, it did not end on a cliffhanger. The conclusion was very satisfying, and I’m looking forward to reading more about this magical world.

The romance was also incredibly sweet. I adored how protective Rob was of Elin and how much he trusted her. I do wish we had been able to see more of their interactions as they fell in love though. We were told that Rob started visiting Elin once or twice a week, but we weren’t given many details of those meetings. This made it slightly harder to really feel the emotional connection between the characters. Nonetheless, they were extremely likable characters and complemented each other well.

Overall, this was a unique story full of romance and excitement. I highly recommend it.

*I received an ARC of this novel. This is my complete and honest review.*

Can you stop running now? Elin knows that she has stayed too long in the glen but she feels safe here. But things change when she meets Rob as he brings up feelings that she knows that she shouldn’t feel. She knows that she can’t be honest with him about what she is but that doesn’t mean that she will stand back and let his whole clan die. She knows that if she uses magic the others will find her but she is willing to take that chance for Rob. She has been found and the only thing that she can do is fight but will this mean the end of her & Rob? A great interesting read. Donna never fails to deliver a well written read.
Thank you Netgalley & the publisher for the ARC copy. This is my voluntary review.

Thanks to netgalley and the publisher for a free copy for an honest opinion

New Kindred trilogy
This is the first book in a new trilogy dealing with the situations left from the original Kindred series written by Donna Grant. The writing style is very similar to how the original books were written, and several characters from that series are mentioned in this new book. We meet Elin, who is a witch on the run from the Coven, a group of witches who are determined to dominate their world. She lost her sister to the Coven, and she wants no part of them and their schemes. She has stopped running for a short time, squatting in an out of the way hunting cabin, hoping to recover some of her strength and come up with a plan to keep away from the witches hunting her. The cabin is on Mackenzie land, and the brother of the Laird, Rob Mackenzie decides to find out who has been using the abandoned cabin. As any book written by Donna Grant, there are issues for the main characters to overcome, and a larger challenge that has to be addressed. This book is well written, with a good plotline and character development. A very enjoyable read, I am looking forward to book 2 of The Fated. I was given an ARC by the author to read, and this is my honest opinion.

Rage by Donna Grant is a very good read. But then aren't all of her books? As is Grant's norm, this story is full of great characters and tons of life or death tension. All of which is quite enjoyable.

Elin is hiding. Her kind, witches, are outcasts in the aftermath of a horrendous war. She's found a usable, actually quite suitable, cottage in the Scottish countryside that she's made her home for a brief period. Unfortunately, she stays too long and is found by Rob. Younger brother of the reigning clan Lord, he knows she doesn't belong. But there's something about her that keeps him coming back. After giving him an antidote to fight the disease killing his kin, he wonders more about who she is. What was she able to do that the healer wasn't? The two fall in love over a period until she finally has to risk everything to be honest with Rob and to fight the evil that lurks.

There is the tension of hiding her truths, daring to love and the battle being brought to her. All this is very fun, tense and interesting.

Thanks to NetGalley and the author for the ARC.

This is the first book in the new Kindred series. It is set in Scotland and features magic user Elin and clansman Rob. Elin is keeping herself away from the village because she is afraid they will treat her badly out of fear of her magic. In this world, magic is not accepted. As a result, she has made a vow not to use her magic.

She makes an exception to this self imposed rule when she heals the village and Rob's family. Thus a friendship between Elin and Rob begins, which blossoms into something more.

However, when Elin's past catches up to her, will her future happiness be in jeorpardy?

Rage is part of a new Kindred series. I haven’t read the first series of books so I am drawing the conclusion that this book picks up from the events of book 5. Even without reading the first series, this one still made sense. She catches you up on what happened prior.

Historical Fantasy set in Scotland. Good story.

Rage is a fantastically brilliant beginning to what is sure to be a superb series! This book will lure you in with its wonderful depth of emotion and the sensual fire of its passion. Everywhere you turn, you will not be able to deny its alluring and enticing pull on your heart. Acceptance is inevitable and denial is perfectly futile. I dare you to fall into this lush and enchanting world of endless possibilities, wicked passion, and undying hope.

Elin has found a refuge that finally allows her heart and her soul to rest and revive. However, her time of peace may not last long. A man invades her refuge, and leaves her completely off balance. Rob has never encountered as enchanting a woman as Elin. She captures his heart like no other and leaves him wanting to learn everything about her. Elin can't afford to let her guard down, so she helps him, but only if it brings no risk to exposing her. When the desire to help the innocent place her in the cross hairs of a dangerous witch, Elin must decide if she will run or follow her heart in protecting those she can shield from evil.

I can't express in words the sweet and sensual growth to the relationship between Elin and Rob. It was slow, tender, and exquisite. Their souls immediately connected even if it took their hearts awhile to give in to the immense passion that sparked between them. Love can be delayed, but it can't be stopped. Oh, how hot and passionate and beautiful their love and bond was! It left me wanting oh so much more from their story.

Nothing is truly better for the soul then reading a Donna Grant book. She weaves an unbreakable web around you are you walk deeper in her worlds. It is one that you will not want to break, and as it holds you fast it also melds you into their world as you experience every emotion and trial her inspirational characters walk through. I always feel refreshed and rejuvenated after immersing myself within the pages of one her extraordinary works of art.

Book one in a new series by this talented author and it takes off from the start The perfect combination of witches warlocks and of course warriors This is the story of Elin she has retreated to the highlands as she wants nothing to do with major battles going on in the magical world. What she doesn't expect is that she will run into warrior Rob Mackenzie he has is own problems his warriors are sickening and dying and he wonders if it has anything to do with the woman squatting in a cottage on the clans land There is an instant connection and attraction between them and when it comes to light that the sickness is from magic this good witch will have no hesitation in stepping up to help but in doing so she will put a target on her back Can she save the clan and can they have a future You will have to read to see This is a spin off from the Kindred and while you don't need to read it I would recommend that you do

After so much war and death, Elin's only desire is to peacefully live in seclusion without her magic, if only her heart would stick to the plan.
Second, in line with his clan, Rob has always put responsibility first. That is until he meets Elin.



This was an interesting read but not one of my personal favorites. My biggest issue was with the author's writing style, was written in a narrator's voice whereas I personally like pov chapters or single povs. That being said the book is well written and the sorry line is quite interesting.

Thanks to NetGalley and do grant LLC for the advanced copy of Rage which was given in exchange for my honest review.

This is a fabulous start to a series! Elin is hiding. The small cabin in the woods is a perfect place to hide. Until she's found be a stranger. Soon events have spiraled out of her control and she can hide no longer. I fell into this story and it consumed me. Highly recommend it.

“Magic & Love in the Highlands”

Donna Grant’s latest creation is fantastical! What a magical tale she weaves. Witches, warlocks, warriors, and nymphs all have a place in Rage, book one of the Fated series.
Set in the Scottish Highlands, we find Elin. She is a good witch who is in hiding after a huge battle among the magical. Rob Mackenzie finds her on his family’s land while searching for a way to help members of his clan who have fallen ill with a mysterious sickness.
Elin’s biggest fear is to be discovered and ostracized so keeps her magic a secret. Rob accepts her weariness, and with patience and persistence wins her over, even without knowing what she is hiding.
The bond between Elin and Rob is delightful. They are both so caring and protective of one another. When outside forces threaten the Mackenzie clan, Elin’s selflessness shines bright. There is an epic battle scene that had me crowning her The Warrior Witch. Ms. Grant wrote it so beautifully, I felt a sense of pride witnessing this character’s growth. I absolutely adore how Elin fought her own fears to do what was right. This heroine’s magical strength and inner strength are unparalleled. And best of all unencumbered by a man. Rob was her equal. Witnessing him put his trust and safety in his woman’s hands was so moving and refreshing!
Rage is a spin off series. While I didn’t read the original series, it isn’t necessary. It was a quick read and definitely worth getting lost between these pages. I can’t wait to dig into book two, Ruin!
Read if you’re down with:
*Paranormal
*Fantasy
*Strong Heroine
*Sweet & Hot Highlander
*Beautiful Imagery
*Magical Tales

I LOVED reading every page of this book. I will not give the synopsis since you can read the blurb and others give more detail but I definitely recommend! The chemistry, sexiness, sweetness, and twists in plot kept things very interesting. I cannot wait to read more by this author. Definitely worth your time!.

This was a very fast paced, simple, enjoyable book.

Elin and Rob were strangers to friends to lovers. Set in the Scottish Highlands. Elin is a witch who is running from her past.

Elin was a strong female lead- taking care of herself and trying to help as much as she was willing too. Rob was the sweet, caring love interest.
