I give DESTINED 5 stars and suggest you all add it to your To Read Pile.

p.s. I can't wait to see what Jessie comes out with next.

Good Points

I just read DESTINED, and was impressed by Jessie's retelling of the classic Greek story. At first, I found parallels with similar fairy tale stories, such as BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, but once I got a bit further, I realized this was just the set up for the bigger story.

I can't share plot details or risk giving more away, but trust me, it's way more than just a retelling of the classic story. It's worth the read!

DESTINED meets all of your requirements for a classic romance, a Greek myth, and surprisingly a quest for personal reflection and change. Even for a guy to read this, I found myself wondering what would come next and wanting to read all the way to the end to find out. Jessie did a great job of storytelling, and I think you'll be impressed, too.
