Fate's Attraction
Even a wolf shifter can’t defeat fate.
Vladimir Corelia is the second son of the pack alpha. He’s happy with his role in the pack, but it seems the fates have other ideas. When the man he finds living in a cave, caring for a shifter baby and a litter of wolf pups, turns out to be his mate, it begins a chain of events that puts the whole pack in jeopardy.
Frankie Bowers can’t remember anything except a powerful sense of danger. He only knows he can’t go home. With no way to defend himself, he has to rely on Vladimir, a perfect stranger who happens to be his mate, to protect him and the young he’s looking after.
While Vladimir and Frankie’s attraction as mates grows stronger every day, so does the threat to their relationship—and to the pack. As Frankie regains his memory, the threat grows more and more ominous. Vladimir and Frankie must rise to the challenge if they hope to have any chance at the future the fates might have in store.

Vladimir knows that he will ever be the Alpha, nor does he wish to be. Frankie is lost, hurt, and alone with no memory of his past. Fate brings them together... in spite of that there are those that are working against them...before they've even met. Their relationship moves quickly, but then, they ARE fated mates. Their every step forward seems that there is always something, or someone pushing them back, or a darkness looming that threatens not only their bond but puts the entire pack at risk.
I am not a big fan of this type of story, but I am a HUGE fan of Andrew Grey, so when my library told me they had acquired another of his books, it was imperative that I read it. I, by no means disliked the story, it was after all, by one of my favorite authors...the man that brought me the "Carlisle Troopers", "Carlisle Deputies" and the "Carlisle Fire", series that I have read more than once.... this just wasn't my type of this genera.
There were aspects of the story that I didn't see coming that I really liked about the book. It's definitely a must read, if you're like me...a fan of this author and/or like this "animal" type of love stories. If you are a fan, you may also want to subscribe to his monthly newsletter that keeps us informed what he and Dominic, his husband, are up to. Here's the site to sign up or just to find his other wonderful books. https://andrewgreybooks.com/newslette...

- Possible spoilers -
Dual pov.
Hmm.. There's not much good worth mentioning about this book as I didn't enjoy it very much.
- I really dislike the characters' names. Especially Ruck; I just can't get used to it. Or Ruck calling Valdimir 'Vladdy' when they're having sex, which not sexy at all.
- Maybe I accidentally skipped this part, but where did the lube go?!
- I can barely tell what the MCs look like.
- The book's a bit too long and rather boring for me.
- Everything feels two-dimensional; the MCs, the story, backgrounds, etc.
- To me, the Goddess - and Ruck, to be honest - are unnecessary to the story line.
Fate's attraction is a book I'll soon forget about. Because there are lots of other simple shifter stories out there,I don't recommend you read this one.

Dirk Greyson definitely does not disappoint, and this book shows why. There is angst, danger, romance, sex, sweetness, revenge, and more in this shapeshifter story. And while the story is all about wolves, there’s even a bear shifter in here (and I hope he gets his own story someday!). In this one, Vladimir is second son to the alpha. He is a quiet type who goes about doing things the way he wants, even when it makes his father (the alpha) angry. His biggest problem, though, is his older brother, Dimitri. Dimitri is a bully, plain and simple. He’s prepared to take over the. Pack and run it his way, which would not be good for anyone. But Vladimir isn’t strong enough to take him on. Then Vlad meets Frankie—a wolf-shifter who has been seriously wounded with a silver knife. And he is Vlad’s mate. And he’s got a baby and four wolf pups with him. Vlad hauls them all back to the pack to heal, but there are a lot of questions—and no answers, mostly because Frankie has no memory of why he was in these woods with the baby and pups or where he came from. As his memory returns, so do the answers—and not all of them are good. There is another pack coming to fight, but Vlad manages to pull everyone together and they act as a pack, not as single individuals, for the good of all. (Though not without a little help from the goddess!)
What I liked: the characters are well-developed and believable. The setting is nicely done. Mr. Greyson pulls at the emotions, making you cheer for their successes and cry over the tragedies.
Recommendation: Definitely recommended. Shapeshifter, gay romance, a bit of suspense, a lot of emotion. Well done.

Vladimir is content with his life and the role he plays within his pack and has no intention on ever being the Alpha. Frankie is lost, injured and alone with no memory of his past. Fate brings them together to spite those that work against the pair before they've even met. Their relationship moves swiftly, but then why shouldn't it, they are fated mates after all. But with every step forward there seems to be something, or someone pushing them back, a darkness looming that threatens not only their bond, it puts the entire pack at risk.
This book drew me in from the start and kept me completely engrossed throughout. The way Greyson wove the threat throughout the story, revealing things at the perfect moment kept me intrigued. The bond between all the characters and the inner workings of the pack, their beliefs and way of life completely plausible. I have to say, there were aspects of the story that I didn't see coming and I love that about a book. Definitely a must read, especially if you're a fan of the Author and/or Wolfy love stories. My hope is that this is the beginning of a new series, I really want to visit this pack and these characters again.

I prefer Andrew Grey's writing under this pen name - it's grittier and more assertive, maybe with a hint of darkness.
I really liked this story and I hope it will be the first book in the series because a lot of loose ends were not tightened when Epilogue has ended.
I was left with a bunch of questions about what will happen with Gregor's pack, why Victor was extra blessed by the Goddess, etc...
Looking forward to the follow up.

This was acceptable and entertaining enough. The writing is a bit clunky. The story is unoriginal and a little corny. There's a huge case of instalove, the bad guys are bad and the good guys conveniently all fall in line. Summary: it's not really good. But it's not really bad either, and it's about gay werewolves.

FATE'S ATTRACTION just wasn't grabbing my attention and the writing felt a bit choppy and simple. Additionally I was unclear how old Vlad was because he comes across as a teenager but I think he's supposed to be an adult.

Another entertaining read by Greyson. It would be great if this would become a series.
