Ford’s Fate by Michelle Dare

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

As a young vampire, Ford had experienced more than those much older than him. The love of his life left him. He fell for his best friend. People he considered friends were killed. Blood was on his hands. 

Through it all, he never forgot his first love. The one who stole his heart then shattered it when he least expected.

When Sienna left Ford and mated with another, she thought she’d found her companion for eternity. Except, her life didn’t play out that way. Her mate was killed, leaving Sienna a shell of the shifter she once was. 

Ford wanted Sienna back, but the choice had to be hers. Then her life was in danger, and his plans changed in an instant. All that mattered was keeping her safe.

Reaching a crossroad, they were helpless to fate’s plan. Ford was left standing before Sienna, wearing his heart on his sleeve, waiting to see what she’d do next.

The Hero: Ford – he is a vampire and best friend to Wake, a wolf shifter from the first book in this series. Ford knows who his mate is and has been waiting for her. He dated her a long time ago, but she left him for another man, who has recently died. He is 109 years old and his brother Solomon is 1500 years old. They live together.

The heroine: Sienna – she is a fox shifter and was dating Ford but was brought up by strict parents who thought vampires were abominations. They thought shifters should only mate within their kind and they set up an arranged marriage for her. She mated her husband, and they were true mates, but he died in the pack war. Since then, she has been in mourning and though she does feel a connection to Ford, she can’t believe she could have two life mates, so she worries her connection to Ford is some sort of affront to her feelings for her husband.

The Story: Basically Sienna feels that Ford is her mate, but she is afraid. Ford has been waiting for Sienna for a very long time and has been in love with her since they were young. Ford was a great character in the last book and I really liked him and you had to feel for him because of his situation with Sienna.

The world building and character development is great so far in this series. I love a world where a bunch of different paranormals exist and are friends. There are some great supporting characters in this series as well. The story is good, and I was glad they didn’t linger too long on the reasons they couldn’t be together. Though, like the first book, it is kind of a slow burn romance. Ford definitely doesn’t want to complete the bond before he knows Sienna is truly ready.

This audiobook was told in dual points of view via dual narration. It was narrated by Sarah Colton and Troy Duran. Both of these are terrific narrators and I really like both of their voices. Sara has a youthful sounding voice, and she speaks at a nice tempo. Troy has a deep voice which is perfect for any romantic Hero, and he always does a great job.
