Do You like book Bound By Fate (2014)?
Wow! I absolutely loved this book! I loved how sometimes fate has certain plans for you. And completely intervenes and sets you on a new unexpected path. What an excellent shifter book! Mandy Lou Dowson certainly knows how to weave a very attractive shifter story! Now it is very hard to not give the story away and I loathe doing that anyways lol so I'm just gonna say this shifter story is amazing and just when you are sure things can't possibly get any more complicated for this spirited young she-wolf BAM!! It does. I felt bad for her and I rooted for her to figure out what she needed to survive and thrive. I can't wait for more in this series because there are so many wolves and I want to see what happens next. Who the next chosen mating pair will be. I just know it's gonna be a wild ride and I can't wait!! I hope the packs mix and change their ways but we shall see

Three stars for me, but probably four for you.Bound by Fate was at alternate times page-turningly good and frustratingly difficult. Kinda-spoiler-alert, this book has a love triangle. I usually avoid those like the plague, but the blurb I read made this book sound more like a May-December or forbidden mentor-mentee affair. Somehow I missed the obvious signs of impending triangular shenanigans. Ok, ok, an accidental threesome has happened to all of us at one time or another, right? Right. So I soldiered on.After all, there were some interesting hints at Secret Mystical Wolf Stuff and Mysterious Mating Rituals and Generational Blood Feuds, oh my! Not to mention that the writing was well-controlled, fully descriptive, and paced nicely. So I put up with a spoiled bratty princess, a needlessly dramatic break-up that could have been avoided with even one frank conversation, and some sloppy worldbuilding (I'm still not clear on what it means to be a pure-bred werewolf in this universe versus...not-a-pure-bred-werewolf...?). I put up with that all because I could see a promising ending on the horizon, a land where plot twists are explained, loose ends are tied up in pretty bows, where things like (view spoiler)[Gareth's hesitation at the mating ceremony is explained, Donovan gets his just desserts for being an assistant rapist and all around D-Bag, and we finally see Beth Do Something instead of being a passenger in her own life (hide spoiler)]

I received this book from Mandy as I had won it on Facebook. Right from the start I couldn't put it down it sucked me right in. The way she tells a story is amazing. There have only been a couple of authors that have told a story and the way that it is told you can picture every single thing they are saying. And man has Mandy done it for me. I love Beth & Gareth. The next story is about Donavan and I know that the next one will be just as good and I hope this will be a long series. ♥ MANDY U ROCK!
