Handsome Howard . . .
Hunky Howard . . .
Hot Howard . . .

It’s not every day that Elsa Bjornberg feels delicate, not when she hosts a home renovation show where she can effortlessly demolish a kitchen. But from the moment she meets Howard Barr, this bear of a man makes her feel like a woman. And the way he looks at her, as if she were a pot of honey he’d like to lick . . .

Howard is not like most men. For one thing, he’s a shapeshifter. And he always thought his celebrity crush would never amount to anything more than drooling at Elsa on TV. When his meddling vampire employer gets involved, the star is suddenly within his grasp—and within a hair of her life. For an ancient curse forbids their newfound love, and Howard is suddenly torn between his desire for her and his desire to keep her alive.

In an odd Wiccan shop in Salem, Jael pulls an unusual stone from a witch’s wish bag. Little does she know her wildest dreams of adventure and a torrid affair with two gorgeous co-workers are about to come true—in spades.

Jael’s dreamy boss, Roarke offers her the assignment of a lifetime: a photo safari to Mount Kilimanjaro. The African scenery is stunning but the unexpected arrival of her two office crushes, Roarke and Kypton ignites her passion. Just as the trio is getting steamy at a beautiful waterfall, danger intervenes forcing the men to reveal their secret. They’re dragons. And now, to save her life, they have no choice but to abduct a startled Jael to their mountain lair on Kilimanjaro.

In the dragons’ love nest, Jael learns the truth about their origins and explores all the erotic possibilities two eager lovers can offer. Love awakens, but the guys are being stalked by a covert group of dragon hunters and withholding a life or death secret that will push Jael’s courageous heart and commitment to the limits.

Warning: Story contains gorgeous male shape-shifters eager to mate, lots of hot male action between two loving men, scorching ménage with one lucky woman, anal play for all, and polyandry with a happy ending. What more do you want?

Together, they must struggle and find a way to fight their pasts and present in order to protect their future. But the Centrals have a plan that might make their path one of loss and destruction.

My Review:
I have one thing to say about this author and this book. I am MAD at you! Oh my god. Seriously, Carrie Ann? You had to do that to me? Grrrr! Yes, I just growled(guess I’ve read too many of Carrie Ann’s Redwood Pack novels…). But, anyway. Back to my review. Seriously. I was tied up in so many knots throughout this entire novel! I was cursing Carrie Ann up one side and down the other ;) . No, not really but I was completely wrapped up in emotional turmoil and what-the-hecks the entire time I was turning the pages of Adam’s story. Carrie Ann Ryan is the ultimate in paranormal romance authors. I was hooked on her work the minute I read An Alpha’s Path. I couldn’t get enough and with every book she writes, it just gets better and better….or in this case better and frustrating!!! :)

Adam Jamenson has been seen through all the books, and I really sensed his inner struggles and his sadness each time I saw him in the others. I was so excited when Carrie Ann created his story. I had to know if he got his happy ending and well, I’ll not tell you if he did or not, but I will tell you that this man had me bawling my eyes on more than one occasion for sure! A couple of times I wished I had a cast iron frying pan to knock him upside his hard head(and Carrie Ann’s head too!), but…yea. Anyway, he was such a wonderful Enforcer. I could, like I said, feel his sadness in the other books. He suffered so much with a terrible, gut wrenching loss and he wasn’t ready for anything else. Then, when he thought things may slide back into place for him, Bay Milton arrives at the Redwood’s den…and turns his life upside down.

Bay Milton is just as full of secrets as Adam and just as hard headed! I loved her character and thought that Carrie Ann had finally decided to help Adam out. When she shows up to the den with a surprise for Adam, things don’t quite go as she had originally planned. Especially with the way the Centrals are once again in attack mode for the Redwoods and it seems centered around her. All she wants is the protection of the Redwoods….and the help of one sad, emotionally scarred wolf. But, with twists and turns and emotions galore, things seem to take on new meaning for everyone in the Redwood pack.

Again I say I am mad at Carrie Ann(not really, but I have to tie her up in knots the way she did me with this book!)! I loved this book so much and she had me in knots the entire time I read this book. She did add a few humorous moments to the story to try and balance it out but….well, I still bawled my eyes out. Adam has just become my absolute favorite of the Jamenson boys and I want you to go out and grab up this book right now(but only if you’ve read the first three books so you can fully grasp Adam’s turmoil and pain!). It is 5 million book worthy (though on here I can only give it a 5 Book rating) and full of redemption and possible second chances. You’ll get so completely wrapped up in finding out what happens to Bay, Adam and the Redwoods that before you know it, you’ll be at the end with tears streaming down your face. I won’t tell you whether Adam does get his happy ending or not, but I will tell you that Carrie Ann kills you throughout the book and the ending…well it’s a shocker for sure!!! I can’t wait to see what Carrie Ann has in store for the other Jamenson’s….I just hope I don’t have to wait too long to find out!

(should be 5 million books!)

Kade Jamenson has been mated to Melanie for almost two years. They’ve been through mating circles, battles, loss, misunderstandings, and finally, the birth of their son, Finn. The world is in turmoil around them as the Redwoods engage in war with the Centrals. But for Kade and Melanie, the turmoil is also happening at home. The responsibility of a restless baby and their Pack has taken a toll and they need a break.

Not from each other. But from their Pack. Just for a night.

Kade takes Mel away for a romantic getaway and leaves Uncle Maddox alone with baby Finn. The Omega of the Redwood Pack may be adept at emotions but the idea of a baby may be beyond his immense capabilities.

Author’s Note: This is a novella set between books 3 and 4 to give you a taste of Mel and Kade. It is best that you have already immersed yourselves in the Redwood Pack world, however even new readers will enjoy a glimpse of one of the Redwood’s favorite couples.

My Review:
I love werewolf novels. I’ve been into them for a long time now, and I have my favorites, of course. But, above any of them, Carrie Ann Ryan is the ultimate. I have a favorite author in contemporary romance, and I have one in Paranormal romance and she’s it for me. I love every piece of work I’ve read of hers to date. She blows me away each and every time, hitting all the sensitive parts of romance, along with the intensity of a pack family. Holy cow!

Kade and Melanie are the Heirs of the Redwood Pack, the second in command. I fell in love with them in book 1, An Alpha’s Path. They are the characters that captivated me and gripped me, making me a forever Redwood Pack fan. They are strong and tenderhearted and really know what they want in live. But, they are new parents and well, they do everything for the pack family. Their little hellion of a child just won’t let up and things aren’t kosher for them anymore. Kade knows, though, if something doesn’t happen soon and they don’t get away….well, things may never be the same.

This novella is a perfect in-between-the-installments read and I am so pleased Carrie Ann wrote it! It’s a short,fast read, and filled with oh-so-much-emotion! All I have to say, though, is poor Maddox!!! I love him to death! Another fabulous 5 Book worthy story from my favorite uber talented paranormal romance author, Carrie Ann Ryan. While I highly suggest you read this after you’ve read 1-3, it’s not 100% required that you do so. It gives you a wonderful sneak peek into the lives of the warm hearted wolves and their day to day lives.  Oh and Carrie Ann…??? PLEASE write more novellas in between the stories to keep us fans on the edge of our seats for more!

Thoughts of Chase, the Alpha of the Black Meadows pack, made her heart torpedo in her chest and rockets go off in her stomach. The better-than-a-sundae delicious-looking man with golden brown skin, enough muscles he could share them with his friends and still have left over, turned her to a puddle of goo.

The man had so much sex appeal her girl parts were ready to lift a white flag in surrender just by looking at him, even thinking of him made her tongue wag. Looking at him was like viewing a shot of your favorite dessert and knowing you couldn’t get your hands on it.
