  FORD Bastian Brothers - Book Three by VL Locey Release Date: July 23, 2026 Review Ford has remained a complicated mystery, having run to the ranch with his best friend from trouble. The longer he spends there, the more peace he knows. Companionship is the one thing that’s really missing, especially with his brothers Baker and Dodge having found their people. The flirty vet is a welcome distraction.  Aiden is a flirt for sure. He hasn’t done commitment before, as everyone and their brother has warned Ford about. (and pisses me off to be honest!). Not to mention the assumption that Ford doesn’t know what he wants. But they just fit.  Ford can use some lightness in his life, and Aiden finds he’s pretty good with being settled with the right person. We have another story to go. I love seeing this family find calm and love as they go.

Now they’ve expanded their circle to include an equally lovely group of found family. Those who don’t try to force him to be someone he’s not. His meeting with Mason is fraught with tension. Mason, a Vet, who is in town covering his uncle's practice while on Vacation, is taking a break from the harsh pressure of a big city Vet Clinic. He’s stressed and questioning his life choices. Somehow, they build a friendship and connection, and when it comes, their romance feels like a collec...
