Fated by R.L. Mathewson

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

The first shifter in the Pyte/Sentinel Series:

As the top Alpha male of Boston, it’s Drew’s job to keep his Pack safe, keep the humans from finding about their existence, try to pretend that he was fine with the way that his life was going and most importantly, not to give into the urge to kill Kara, the thorn in his side for way too long.

When fate steps in one night and destroys his world, he strikes back, but his new mate is more than he can handle…

Fated

The heroine: Kara – she was a wolf shifter, living in Boston. She knows how to get things done. Going to a bar that is impossible to get into, she brings dinner and dessert for the the shifter in charge of door security, Mick who happens to be her cousin and her and her human friend Maggie are inside the popular club without an issue. Kara some day wants her own shifter nightclub.

The Hero: Drew – He is the top alpha in Boston. He owns the nightclub Kara got into among other businesses. He is still unmated. He is not too happy that he is forced to allow Kara into his club, but Mick was his best bouncer, and he doesn’t want to lose Mick by being off putting to his relatives. Kara is determined to taunt and frustrate him to no end. He could no longer put up with her defiance, others are starting to think him weak.

The Story: Kara hated Drew, she thinks he is a prick and couldn’t wait for him to find his mate. She wanted to see him slapped upside the head by his mate. Kara only dates human, she doesn’t want to find her fated mate. Even though finding you mate doesn’t always equal finding the love of your life. Though males who found their fated mates can’t get it up for anyone else, apparently it doesn’t always work that way for the females as even mated females can be intimate with others and even enjoy it.

Drew needs to make Kara cower for defying her in front of members of enemy packs. He needs to make sure he looks strong to keep them as well as his own pack members from going up against him. However, when he touches her, he finds out she is his fated mate. She taunts him by saying that he won’t be able to have sex again while she can now go after unmated males.

I have to admit, I didn’t like Kara at first. It wasn’t explained well why she hated him so much, but it seemed to be jealousy since she went on about the revolving door of women that ended up in his bed. And I did not like their constant bickering at the beginning, Drew wasn’t much better, he was pretty sexist and just wanted Kara to be put up in his penthouse waiting for him when he needed her. Though they both got better as the book got going and I ended up liking the story about Kara’s mysterious beginnings.

This audiobook was told in dual points of view via solo narration. It was narrated by Celestine Wolf. I am not usually too fond of solo narration, though Celestine does a good job. She has a nice voice and is good at doing different voices for different characters.
