Fated by Susana Mohel is a contemporary small town age gap romance. The book is set up in K. Bromberg's everyday heroes world and can be read as a standalone.
I absolutely love Susana's books! They always leave me with a smile. I loved the insta-connection between Elena (26 yr) and Cardan (38 yr). I really enjoyed that their relationship was slowly built over the course of the book even though they both felt a connection when they first met.
I really liked that Susana had a chapter towards the end of the book from Cardan's point of view. It really brought the story to life to have his insight.
I would highly recommend this book to anyone who loves contemporary romance, small town romances, or age gap romances.

Cardan and Elena meet while skydiving, but their reasons for doing so couldn't be more different. Elena feels she has to live each day to the fullest because she's not sure if she'll have a tomorrow. So when Cardan begins heavily pursuing the fiery mango farmer she tries very hard to resist and does everything to push him away. Her dad, her best friend, even her 4 brothers conspire to get her to live, not just adventures, but take a chance on love. Will the strong - willed Elena listen and take the heart that Cardan Malone is eagerly giving her? Give me more Elena and Cardan!! As stubborn as she was, these two gave me all the feels. Cardan was all Alpha/Cinnamon Roll/BDE, let me just love you and take care of you all while I keep you with your head in the clouds from euphoria!!

What a beautiful story! This is my first Susana Mohel experience, and I call it that because that is exactly what this was. She has written an absolutely beautiful story of two people and the emotional connection that they have for each other.
This is the story of Elena and Cardan, with the loss of her mother and some rather frightening news, Elena has had to make some decisions about her life. The decision that was the toughest for her was resisting the man that jumped into her life.
This will be a roller coaster of emotions but it’s a good ride. There is the perfect amount of all the things that make a good romance. This is a beautiful addition to the Everyday Hero World!

This is my first book by Susana Mohel, Elena and Carden's story was about how different life perspectives bring two people together, one is fighting for their life while the other is looking for a new beginning. I really enjoyed the storyline, the characters but most of it the life lesson behind it all. Such an emotional story where love, fate, destiny, fear and simply jumping to do things you don't always think was possible, will have you reading the story in no time. Very sweet and full of good quotes and phrases that you might want to highlight. Brilliant emotional connection between the characters, and a story that got to me to my heart and soul when I wasn't expecting it.

This is my first book by Susana Mohel and what a heartbreakingly beautiful story. It's such an emotional read that has you going through all of Elena and Cardan's emotions right along with them. Love, fear, happiness and excitement. Their chemistry is off the charts from the start. Such great character development throughout. There is an age gap, but not so extreme that it would have put me off the story. I definitely recommend this book, especially if you are a fan of KB's everyday heroes series.

Sometimes you have to jump without a parachute to realize what you’re capable of. Fated is a slow burn age gap romance that will make you take a chance on love.
What happens when you mix a Mango Princess with a grease monkey?? Something Spicy. Elena Posada is looking for an adventure but what she found was a green-eyed breaded man that makes her heart skip a beat, his name Cardan Malone.
Susana’s writing just has a way of making you feel everything until you shaded a single tear, every-time.

Elena has decided she needs to challenge herself. She’s keeping something from the reader which makes it a real page-turner. Even those around her aren’t spilling the beans but there are hints that appear every once in a while. And it’s that secret that may have you thinking about yourself and how you take care of you.
I liked that the author made Elena the centerpiece of this story. It comes out at an interesting time of year – Women’s History Month. It’s not that she’s creating history as far as the scope of the world but by running a family business makes it worth the celebration of being a woman today.
It’s a sweet romance with just a hint of spice. The author leaves it up to the reader to fill in the blanks with whatever level you like your heat at. Although I preferred it just the way it was. One thing that surprised me was to find out that there was an age gap. I certainly never saw or felt one. There was no indication until we got a lot further into the book that I felt an age was mentioned. So, I suppose it depends on what you picture in your mind.
Cardan seems to be a very nice man who knows what he wants right away. The author gives the reader enough information to know his history without letting it get in the way of the flow to her story. Having just enough made it very easy to follow without getting lost in what was going on. It will take a while, but you will see how he earns the title of “hero”.
The only two things that I had small issues with was wanting to hear more on Cardan’s thoughts as to what was going on between him and Elena. And the other was that he has family members that I didn’t get to see enough of and it left me wanting to know if there’s a series out there. I’ll have to get my investigative hat out and see if I can find anything.
I was not compensated nor was I required to write a positive review. The opinions I have expressed are my own.
