Kristyn’s Review

A Beta’s Haven is a lovely novella that gives you a look back at character’s we have already gotten to know.

Jasper, Willow and Brie are back and we get to see a little bit of what their day to day life is like. Jasper is tired and in need of a bit of a break and so Willow steps in to help out. One of the best things about this Novella is the glimpse of Cailin’s future. This novella is a great addition to the Redwood Pack series.

Author Bio

USA Today Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan never thought she’d be a writer. Not really. No, she loved math and science and even went on to graduate school in chemistry. Yes, she read as a kid and devoured teen fiction and Harry Potter, but it wasn’t until someone handed her a romance book in her late teens that she realized that there was something out there just for her. When another author suggested she use the voices in her head for good and not evil, The Redwood Pack and all her other stories were born.

Carrie Ann is a bestselling author of over twenty novels and novellas and has so much more on her mind (and on her spreadsheets *grins*) that she isn’t planning on giving up her dream anytime soon.

Kristyn’s Review

Cailin is a Jameson through and through. She is feisty and dominant. But she is the last of her family without a mate. She found a potential in Logan, but fights the pull she feels towards him with everything she has.

Logan is waiting not so patiently for Cailin to give in to their potential bond. But when tragedy strikes she comes to him looking for comfort and finds so much more.

This book is a great addition to the Redwood Pack series. It includes all of our favorite characters from books past and wraps up everything nicely. The writing was on par with all of the other books. The cast of characters had a depth and connection akin to real life families. There was humor and sex in nice amounts. The action was exciting and interesting. Fans of the Redwood Pack will rejoice in the conclusion of the big battle that has been developing throughout the series.

But don’t be too sad, there is another book to follow about our beloved Omega.

Tangled Innocence by Carrie Ann Ryan Blog Tour + Giveaway

Posted on 04/25/2014 by Saucy Southern Readers

Synopsis

As one of the seven lightning struck women, Nadie Morgan has known for a while now that her fate would be forever changed…and revolve around a certain dragon. From the first time Dante Bell saw Nadie, he knew she was the one for him. There’s just one problem–there’s another in his life he’s waiting on as well.

When Jace Goodwin, a bear shifter and Mediator, finally comes back to the human realm after years away under circumstances out of his control, his first stop is to Dante’s Circle where he not only finds his dragon, but the woman they both have been waiting for.

Once secrets are told and the sparks fly, Nadie’s new life becomes something she never thought possible. However there’s another realm at play and Jace and Nadie’s dragon will have to fight harder than he’s ever fought before to keep the life he’s waited eons for.

Warning: Contains one not-so-innocent human, a bear known for his bear-hugs, a tattooed and pierced dragon with a fiery temper, and a connection so explosive, you’ll be fanning yourself from page one.

Synopsis

Humans aren’t as alone as they choose to believe. Every human possesses a trait of supernatural that lays dormant within their genetic make-up. Centuries of diluting and breeding have allowed humans to think they are alone and untouched by magic. But what happens when something changes? The first three books of the bestselling Dante’s Circle series are now in one place at a special low price. Do you dare enter the world of the realms?

Dust of My Wings – Book 1

When chemist Lily Banner finds a vial of angel dust, angelic warrior Shade Griffin will have to do all in his power to protect the ancient secrets of the paranormals. Only when he finds Lily, his world shifts and his allegiance changes, forcing the ones who want Lily put down to take action. The war between the realms is on the edge of a blade and only Shade and Lily can stop it.

Her Warriors’ Three Wishes – Book 2

Jamie Bennett has known Ambrose Griffin was hers from the moment she knew things that went bump in the night were real. Ambrose has held himself back because he can’t afford to lose anything else. But when Jamie is kidnapped and sent to the hell realm, the warrior angel will not only risk a war to find her, he’ll find his heart—in Jamie and Bailin. When Bailin, a demon from hell, meets the two people who could fill his heart and his soul, he’ll need to fight for something he hasn’t felt in over a century—hope.

An Unlucky Moon – Book 3

Hunter, the wolf from hell’s games, is finally ready to mate with Becca. If only Becca were ready to forgive him. Between the Pack’s council and strangers who could take everything away from them, Becca and Hunter have more to fight and everything to fight for. Hunter’s dark past takes over their courtship, and just when he thinks all his lost, he’ll find that Becca’s more than he—or she—ever thought.

Ink Inspired and Ink Reunited by Carrie Ann Ryan Blog Tour + Review

Posted on 02/25/2014 by Saucy Southern Readers

Synopsis

From the streets of New Orleans and the heat of Midnight Ink, comes the happy ever after for a character whose story was begged to be told.

Sassy Bordeaux is the Midnight Ink receptionist, honorary godmother, best friend to many, and matchmaker expert. In the past two months, she’s watched eight couples fall in love, make mistakes, and find their happy endings. Though she might have had hand in each of those, she’s yet to find the peace she’s desired. When the men from her past come into Midnight Ink, she’s forced to face what she left behind and what could happen if she lets go of her pain and finds a future she deserves.

Rafe Chavez and Ian Steele remember their time with Sassy like it was yesterday, yet have worked hard to move on. Or at least try to. Now they’re both back in New Orleans for the woman they loved and for the connection they shared with each other. It will take more than the usual groveling, pleading and begging for these three to overcome their history, but once they take that step, the streets of New Orleans will never be the same.

Review

Smokin Hot!!! These two boys know what they want and will do anything to get Sassy back. Sassy lives up to her namesake and then some. She is vibrant, beautiful, and lovable. I will warn you that this novella is MMF & MFM. Sassy gets quite turned on when she finds her men together. Carrie Ann Ryan is a master at menage. If you are a Carrie Ann Ryan virgin then this novella would be a great first time read. Ink Reunited is spicy and sexy as hell. I have a feeling this will not be the last we see of Sassy.

Synopsis

Shepard Montgomery loves the feel of a needle in his hands, the ink that he lays on another, and the thrill he gets when his art is finished, appreciated, and loved. At least that’s the way it used to be. Now he’s struggling to figure out why he’s a tattoo artist at all as he wades through the college frat boys and tourists who just want a thrill, not a permanent reminder of their trip. Once he sees the Ice Princess walk through Midnight Ink’s doors though, he knows he might just have found the inspiration he needs.

Shea Little has spent her life listening to her family’s desires. She went to the best schools, participated in the most proper of social events, and almost married the man her family wanted for her. When she ran from that and found a job she actually likes, she thought she’d rebelled enough. Now though, she wants one more thing—only Shepard stands in the way. She’ll not only have to let him learn more about her in order to get inked, but find out what it means to be truly free.

This is the prequel to the Montgomery Ink series. It is also found in the Midnight Ink Bundle.

My Review

Sweet and Sexy. The chemistry between Shep and Shea ignites a passion in Shep like he has never felt before. Shea is a spicy little sprite that has him spinning on his heels. She is also in need of rescuing and Shep is just the man for the job. I adored this novella and cannot wait for Montgomery Ink. Carrie does a masterful job with her character development and she had me falling in love with Shep and Shea from the very beginning. Ink Inspired will have your heart racing and your panties on fire.

Ever After Anthlogy: His Choice by Carrie Ann Ryan Review

Posted on 11/11/2013 by Saucy Southern Readers

From five bestselling authors comes five brand new novellas sure to heat up the night.

From Carrie Ann Ryan‘s Dante’s Circle series, a demon from the fiery depths of hell must make his choice to follow in the footsteps of his father or love the submissive wolf who lays claim to his heart in His Choice.

From Marie Harte‘s Beasts of Burden, Eira, a fierce valkyrie, has spent fifty years trying to get a rise out of her goddess’s guardians. But when the battle-cat shifters give her what she wants, can she handle the heat—and the danger—that comes from loving them?

From Rebecca Royce‘s brand new series, the Alphas of each Werewolf Pack are on the brink of war. Travis Michaels will use all in his power to keep innocent Lilliana out of danger and into his arms…away from rival Alpha Cyrus Fennell.

From Lia Davis’s Ashwood Falls series, buried pain, old lies, and dangerous secrets aren’t enough to keep the sparks from flying as Sarah Mathews and rebel leader, Damian Archer, try to survive a new threat against their race.

From Leia Shaw’s Shadows of Destiny series, a war is brewing in the supernatural world. Rebel shifter Dalton’s only passion is protecting the colony, and flirtatious misfit, Eden, is a distraction he can’t afford. But as danger approaches, he learns that underestimating the sexy little wolf is a big mistake.

My Review

I had to get this book because I fell in love with Fawkes in Her Warriors Three Wished and I have an obsession with the Dante’s Circle Series.

What would you do if everyone who wanted you only wanted you to fulfill their own needs and desires?

Leslie has been through hell on earth over the past year. Her brother tried to force her into a mating with their packs Beta named Hunter only to have it blow up in his face when she revealed the location where they were hiding Becca his true mate. Leslie’s brother would have been happy to have taken her life for her betrayal to him. The other pack members wanted to use her for mating because of her bloodline and then throw her away. Damaged did not even come close to describe how Leslie felt about herself.

Fawkes was spawn of the devil, literally. It was his destiny to walk on earth taking millions of souls devouring the human race. His birthday was coming up and he had a choice to make. Did he become his father’s ultimate soul catcher or was there another option. Fawkes saw his demon friend Balin find his true mates and escape the bowels of hell. Could he be that lucky and where would he start to look for her?

The thing about destiny is that no matter what you do you can never tell when it will sneak up on you.

Carrie Ann Ryan is masterful when it come to character development. Your heart can’t help but break for Leslie and what she has been through and you really do hope that Fawkes can find his other half. She does and excellent job at packing a ton of spice with action adventure in this shorter novella. I reads just like a full length novel, and you do not feel like you are missing anything. I am hoping to see more of Fawkes and Leslie in Tangled Innocence coming next year. Thank Goddess that I have the Redwood Pack Series to hold me over for until then.

If you like a sinfully sexy story that will have you panting like a wolf, then you will love Ever After.
