Hot and steamy. Poor editing. Only 55 pages, a full story would have been more enjoyable.

Was this review helpful? Yes NoThank you for your feedback. Report this reviewThank you, this review has been flagged.Carrie Ann Ryan and her debut story are AWESOME! This is a short, paranormal romance that will heat your heart up and turn you into a forever fan! With an amazingly created alpha hero and a heroine that will tug at your heart strings, this is one story that you won't want to miss!
Kade Jamieson is one HOT wolf! Oh my gosh. As I sat there reading his description in the story, my jaw dropped. He was absolutely yummy sounding!!!! And, after having just broken up with whom he thought was his life's mate, I just wanted to put myself in Melanie's shoes and wrap my arms around the hunky man and give him a hug! The attraction he felt to Melanie, though, was instant and steamy! WOW!
I loved the way Kade treated Melanie....like he treasured her. He's over a 100 years old (after all, he's a wolf.....) and really knew how to treat a sexy woman. I loved the way he had conversations in his head with his wolf self. Hehehe. It really made for a bit of comedy in the story :-).
Poor Melanie. She's got her PhD but absolutely no social life, save for her best friend. And what that best friend intends to set Melanie up for a blind date....well, I could feel Melanie's inner turmoil at not wanting that. But, in the end, she accepted, and what happens after that....well she met a sexy, gorgeous, takes-your-breath-away kind man, who happens to have a secret.
I loved watching these two amazing characters interact. And with a few awesome secondary characters, I really hope that this won't be the end (pssst....check out Carrie's website....you'll see it's NOT the end...I can't wait for Spring of 2012!). Carrie Ann's debut is a rockin' one and shouldn't be missed by anyone who loves a fantastic paranormal romance filled with hot passion scenes and gorgeous man-wolves. Definitely a 5 Book worthy keeper in my opinion!

Contains an unoriginal plot. Appears to not have been edited. A disappointing purchase.

This novella had me panting for a werewolf of my own! I've always been a fan of werewolf love stories, but this one has it all. It's fun, sexy, hot and steamy! I was more than ready to be bitten and taken for a mate by the time Kade shucked off his clothes. Melanie's hesitancy to make a choice when there really wasn't one to be made had my blood pressure boiling, but in the end, all was right in the world, and I can't wait to get a glimpse of how they are doing when I read Jasper's story, A Taste For A Mate.
Carrie Ann Ryan is delightfully talented, making me smile at her writing style - her werewolves have conversations between their human and wolf halves, which is charming and many times very funny. I have been avidly following her for a while now, and will continue to do so knowing that her work is top notch!

This "book" does not qualify as a book. It is only a short story, and a rather poor one. The story needs major rework to even qualify for a fair rating. No wonder the author does not want people to share it.

Carrie Ann Ryan did a wonderful job creating a sensual, fast-pace, and fun love story. She brings her characters and story to life with beautiful descriptions and imagery.If you're looking for a steamy love story with a sexy werewolf, then this short paranormal is for you.

An okay short story, but read poorly in parts with obvious grammatical mistakes and words used out of context that were not the correct vocabulary for the thought being expressed. Overall, came across as a bit amateurish. Might have really benefitted from some professional editing.

The story was only 59 pages so it was a quick read. Author seems able to do the steamier parts better than the story.

No depth, nothing original. Sort of a paranormal dog and pony show

I Also Recommend:
I only wish it could have been longer! I will agree editing could have been better, but I got so into reading this I didn't care any longer.

I'm not even through the first love scene and can't stop laughing! This reads like a diary written by a high-schooler. Even the words during love-making, sex, whatever ' are immature. It took me back to those days when you thought you knew what you were doing and didn't . If the author is over 20, shame on you. Please don't attempt to write steamy books if this is your idea of hot. This book will not even raise ones temperature one degree (unless it's you're first). No thank you. Will not continue the series.

I enjoyed this short story. I wish it would have been longer so I could have learned more about Kade and Melanie. This looks like an interesting series.

If you haven't read Carrie Ann Ryan's Redwood Pack, you are definitely missing out! Start with An Alpha's Path and you will be hooked from there! This series is a must for lovers of Paranormal shifter tales that have: Alpha males, strong minded females, struggles for dominance, action, suspense, tragedy and whole hearted devotedness! Get ready for the ride of your life!

With her PhD in hand, she's to start her dream job, but before she does, her friend persuades her to relax and try to live again.
