Summary
Quiet. That’s how he likes life, no drama to clean up…
Tai Xen-Vorsy leads a straightforward life: work, time at the local clubs where shapeshifters like him can play without fear, and the comforts of home with a cat that’s more than half attitude. After breaking up with his last submissive, he’s even taking a break from Dom duties.
Meeting Gates changes everything, and when Tai’s childhood home is destroyed, his simple life goes up in flames.
The Callensdale haven was his refuge as an orphan, a hideaway that saved his life. Now it’s time to return the favour. Bringing in the Fluff Brigade Brotherhood would make all the difference… if he could just get them back together. Tai won’t give up—he’s not that kind of unicorn. But can he reunite the brotherhood and keep his new relationship with Gates kindled at the same time?
The darkness is dragging him into the shadows, one case at a time…
Helping others is all Gates Colfaethe wants to do, being mostly unicorn shifter with a splash of Faerie. But years as an agent on trafficking cases leave him fearing just how far he’ll lose himself in the job before he burns out completely.
A random hookup with Tai might be the very change he needs. A new Dom means new rules and the chance to create safe distance from work—until his worlds collide in a twist Gates should leave well enough alone. What he knows is bad enough, but running headlong into danger could kill him.
Horn & Haven is an MM+ romance series featuring a found family of unicorn shifters brought together by tragic circumstances. Friends out to save a magical world in trouble. Family fighting to protect those they love. Lovers falling for the kinkiest unicorns this side of their universe… Welcome to the Fluff Brigade Brotherhood.

Review
At best, they were suspending fate long enough to steal a kindness and a fuck—the rest would crumble apart once time caught up with them. What waited on the other side was the scariest prospect of all.
The premise of Fate in Suspension seemed different than most books I read. So when I saw the words unicorn and faerie, my thoughts were, sign me up. I haven’t read anything about unicorns before, so I thought it would be interesting.
Fate in Suspension was slow at first. I had some trouble getting into it right away. It also may be because every time I tried to read it, it wasn’t the best time to do so. However, I read a lot of it once I got into it. It took longer to read than expected since I took many breaks as I was reading because there were times when I wasn’t in the right mind frame. It was emotional at some parts, and I was on the verge of tearing up a few times.
I could see a bit of myself in the main characters. Gates and Tai were similar and yet also different. The miscommunication made me want to scream at them at times. But at the end of the day, they complement one another. They were on the same page but thought the other wanted different things. And yet their feelings for each other were clear as day to everyone around them but themselves.
I haven’t read anything from Archer Kay Leah before, but I’m glad I gave it a chance. The Fluff Brigade Brotherhood is a found family, one of my favorite things to read about. Getting a peek at the members made me want to know more about them. I’m glad that it will be possible. I can’t wait to read more from her—especially the rest of the Horn & Haven series.
