Blurb:
Tucker isn’t interested in quests, thank you very much. Though the cigar-smoking, Uber-driving vampire has long been an official member of the undead club, his very human heart still lurks inside of him—and no one has ever spoken to it more clearly than Mary…the fairy he’ll be driving to her wedding. Where she’ll be marrying someone else.
Quests, right?
Mary’s blindness and window-shattering scream have forced her into seclusion since childhood. A seeming burden to her splintered family, she jumps at the chance to reunite them. All she has to do is marry an evil vampire, facilitate an unholy alliance and potentially start an underworld war. Easy, right? No, but it was doable. At least until Tucker.
The pair of misfits embark on a road trip that will have them questioning the past, present and future. Their building passion and trust in one another is undisputable, however. And as the battle looms, they’ll have to decide just what they’re willing to sacrifice for a lifetime together.

***
This was a pretty good read. Today Tomorrow and Always is book three in the Phenomenal Fate series and focuses on Tucker and Mary. Tucker is the third vampire in a group of friends we met in the previous books to find love. A war is threatening to begin between good and evil supernatural creatures in this world. Mad Mary is a young fae woman who is blind. She is betrothed by her mother to marry the evil Hadrian, who she has never met, in exchange for helping her mother ascend to faerie where she can join her father. When Tucker meets Mary in the middle of a mission, he feels an immediate connection to her and volunteers to take her on a cross country road trip to deliver her to Hadrian. He really just wants to spend more time with her and they soon grow close. As they spend time together on their journey, they soon find they were meant to meet and have a true connection and love that time can not sever.
I enjoyed this story, but it did take me quite a while to get into. Mary is depicted as a young, neieve, almost childlike character; while Tucker comes off as an older man sometimes, with his mannerisms and speech. He even called her kid for quite a while. They were not that far apart in age though so I didn't feel like it fit and it made it harder to get into a romance between them. Still, I did think this aspect improved as the book went on. Mary grew as a person and Tucker treated her more as an adult. I also was a bit turned off by references to Tucker's weight and I didn't feel a lot of chemistry between the characters. But I did like the story. I felt the love and connection between the couple by the end. I did like them as characters and as a couple.
Overall, this was not my favorite book of the series, but I did enjoy it in general. It was an entertaining end to the series and I was happy that Tucker and Mary got their HEA. I have enjoyed Ms. Bailey's foray into PNR and I look forward to whatever she comes up with next.
