Cards of Love: The Empress (Fated Mates) Kindle Edition

4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars 373 ratings

Being an unmatched warlock serving as the head of a coven wasn't easy. The desire for a feminine touch to help preserve harmony among his witches made Warren Ainsley long for his fated consort more than usual.

Then she finally showed up in the local diner. Only Opal Smith had no idea magic existed and didn't know what a consort was.

Can Warren convince Opal that the magic between them is real?

    Even though this book is a part of another series, this is a great addition to this series as well. Great job!

    Warren, a warlock with an affinity for air, was given the title of high priest after his mom stepped down. While it's rare for a warlock to be chosen, the position usually going to a witch, it's even more so as he's unmatched. He yearns every day for his consort, but knows there's always the possibility their paths will never cross.

    Opal knows nothing of her past, aside from the fact she was abandoned at a fire station and never adopted, having spent her childhood bouncing between foster homes. She's always had a connection to fire, a fact that worried some potential families, but it served her well recently, after her place was broken into.

    As she travels away from the life she'd made for herself, her car has enough and stops in Ashburn. While at the diner, everything she thought she knew is turned upside down when a sexy man walks in, both immediately feeling the connection, figuratively and literally. But Opal knows nothing of Warren's world, or that she's his consort.

    While these two get to know each other, and Opal learns of her powers, Warren must work to prove to Opal what he feels for her is real and that she can trust in their destiny.

    Will Opal be able to accept the future Warren wants with her? Will learning of her powers help her find her biological family? Does she want to? Is a HEA possible for these two?

    One-click now and follow along as Warren and Opal find the love that was written in the cards.

    I put this One off being tired of the witch trope but when I was at a loss for a quick, hot read I finally broke down and read it. As usual I loved it. I haven't read any others in the series may have to give it a try. I only read it because it was Rochelle Paige but I highly recommend it!

    I’m not so crazy about this book. The writing is ok, but the story never had any depth. The characters didn’t grown or change. The story was more about telling you of events then experiencing them. It just need more.

    Warren and Opal's story is one of my FAVORITES!!! He is my perfect kind of book boyfriend - sweet but Alpha. He's possessive of Opal but also makes sure she knows that he'll support what SHE wants, not try to stop her or conform her to what HE wants, because all he wants is her to be happy. Also, he reminds me a little bit of one of my other favorite characters created by this author, Weston from I'm Yours, Baby. *grin*

    There are some GREAT scenes in this story that I just adored. I enjoyed Opal's innocence & learning about the magical world, and loved her personality!! I also really loved the sense of family through this whole story!! : )

    I love Rochelle Paige’s world of shifters and mages and demons galore. Her characters are adorable and snarky and downright naughty once they find their fated mats. Always an enjoyable read.

    Warren Ainsley is a warlock. He is the first male head of his coven. His mother & him both want him to find his consort ( his mate). He comes from a line of air witches. Which means his an air warlock.

    Opal Smith
    She has been through so much through her life. Bouncing from one foster home to another. She leaves the one place she called home. Fate brings her to the Ainsley coven.

    Through meeting each other.Opal finds out that she is a witch. A fire 🔥witch at that. She learns about the magic world. I am happy she found her family & were she belonged.

    I really enjoyed the page of their relationship. The steamy parts were just 🔥 amazing.

    My only complaint is it's not a full series yet to dive in! Great story and I'm looking forward to the next! For a woman who never had a family of her own or been able to trust deeply before her story changes quickly all because the fan in her car started acting up.

    A very quick read with a great male lead. Warren has to explain to Opal that they are destined. She has no idea where she came from but he gently guides her in takinf on her witchy powers.
