Although he keeps company with a vampire and a were, human Shaman Caleb O'Flare can definitely hold his own. But neither his psychic ability nor his healing powers can help his sexy-as-hell teammate, Wraith-a ghost with no memory of her human existence, who cannot experience touch without pain. No wraith has managed to exist past its tenth year, so her time is about to run out. She wants only two things before accepting her fate: to learn her human identity, and experience one night with Caleb...  (Goodreads)

Readers who enjoyed Chosen By Blood will be abundantly happy with the second release in the Para-Ops series, Chosen By Fate. Packed with action and romance this is another wonderful addition to this series.

In DePaul's latest installment, the story surrounds Wraith, who can not be touched without feeling pain and her life is about to run out but before it does she wants to know who she was before she became a wraith. As we learned in the previous installment, Wrath and Caleb have a strong attraction to each other and in Chosen By Fate we get to see these two finally have their romance. The love story between these two characters is appealing as we see Wraith's softer side come to light. The action in this novel plays a backseat roll but is still a strong aspect as the team works a rape case that turns out to add a surprising twist to the storyline.

Next up in the series is Chosen By Sin, which is Dex's story and has promise to be another excellent addition to the Para-Ops series!
