Feature: Inked Expressions by Carrie Ann Ryan

The Montgomery Ink Series from NYT Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan continues with the brother who keeps his secret and the one woman he shouldn’t want.

Everly Law married the love of her life and on the eve of giving birth to their twins, lost him in a tragic accident. Now she’s a single mother working overtime at her bookstore trying to make sure her boys have the life they deserve. Her life is busy enough without her adding dating a Montgomery. As past secrets come to light, she’ll need Storm more than ever—even if she doesn’t realize it.

Storm Montgomery has spent his life atoning for sins that only few know he’s committed. When he lost his best friend, he promised his widow that he’d always be there for her—even when she wanted nothing to do with him. But when a single touch ignites passions they’ve both buried deep inside, he’ll have to remember exactly who is in his arms and that taking chances might be far more dangerous than they bargained for.

Feature and Giveaway: Love Restored by Carrie Ann Ryan

In the first of a Montgomery Ink spin-off series from NYT Bestselling Author Carrie Ann Ryan, a broken man uncovers the truth of what it means to take a second chance with the most unexpected woman…

Graham Gallagher has seen it all. And when tragedy struck, lost it all. He’s been the backbone of his brothers, the one they all rely on in their lives and business. And when it comes to falling in love and creating a life, he knows what it’s like to have it all and watch it crumble. He’s done with looking for another person to warm his bed, but apparently he didn’t learn his lesson because the new piercer at Montgomery Ink tempts him like no other.

Blake Brennen may have been born a trust fund baby, but she’s created a whole new life for herself in the world of ink, piercings, and freedom. Only the ties she’d thought she’d cut long ago aren’t as severed as she’d believed. When she finds Graham constantly in her path, she knows from first glance that he’s the wrong kind of guy for her. Except that Blake excels at making the wrong choice and Graham might be the ultimate temptation for the bad girl she’d thought long buried.

ARC Review: Wicked Wolf by Carrie Ann Ryan

With every new book Carrie Ann Ryan puts out I have a new favorite. As the last and the first book of the series Wicked Wolf is the transition book that wraps up the Redwood Pack and kicks off the Talon Pack. If you have not read the Redwood Pack this is the book where you need to pick up with the story arc wrapped up for the previous series and the foreshadowing of the upcoming turmoil in the next.

Gina Eaton inherited her mother’s powers, and is one of the few true half breeds half witch-half wolf; however that doesn’t get in the way of her power and strength as a wolf if anything it just made her stronger to the point that she is goddess blessed as the Redwood Packs next Enforcer. Gina lost her parents during the war with the Central Pack and was adopted by the Alpha family; she has known loss and love from two sets of parents and has grown up a well balanced adult.

Quinn Weston grew up in the dysfunctional Talon Pack and only the past few decades has been trying to catch up with the times and not be antiquated. Quinn knew love or at least he thought he did, he mated with a woman and she bore him a son, but she wasn’t cut out to be a mother and a wife and she left using a dark witch to cut the bond almost killing her son. Now five years later Jesse is barely hanging on even with the help of Hannah, the Redwood Pack healer, he might not make it.

Gina and Quinn are charged with heading the committee to harmonize the two packs so that another devastating war between packs will not happen again but the underlining tension between them is palpable. Quinn is hesitant to mate again and the fact that Gina is half witch just makes him want to resist more, but the big ass that he is breaks Gina instead of a gentle let down. Balling my eyes out all the while Gina does too she lets her family comfort her then she stands up and shows no weakness determined to move on. The news that a new mating bond maybe just the thing to save little Jesse cements the bond between Quinn and Gina; and despite what has happened Gina agrees to a mating to save Jesse. Everyone is safe and content until Quinn’s former mate shows up again wanting back in the pack her son and her mate.

I typically don’t like book that make me cry but Carrie Ann Ryan has the ability to write a story that makes me laugh, bite my nails in anticipation, and fan myself from the steam coming from the book and it wouldn’t be the same if it didn’t rip my heart out stomp on it a little then put it back in and kiss it and make it better. Carrie Ann Ryan will play your heart strings like a harpsichord and I love it.

Interview with Author Carrie Ann Ryan

Today I would like to welcome to the blog author Carrie Ann Ryan. Carrie Ann is currently on tour promoting the release of her book An Alpha's Path, and took time out of her busy schedule to let me ask her a few questions that I would love to share with you all. So without further ado, here's Carrie Ann.

First off, can you tell us a bit about you?
Hi! Thanks for having me today! I’m 25-year-old chemistry instructor living in New England with my hubby and two kittens. An Alpha’s Path is my first trek into writing romance – though I’ve loved reading it for years.

Did you always want to be a writer?
I’ve always written for school and science journals. I tried writing when I was younger, but never found anything I liked. Then I started reading romance…

What kind of writer are you? Panster or Plotter?
I’m a heavy plotter. I have outlines of series, characters, timelines, books and chapters. If I didn’t, I would totally miss something LOL.

Where do your ideas come from?
Anything and everything. I pretty much write what comes to me.

A la Twitter style, can you describe your book (or series) in 140 characters or less.
What happens when a snarky chemist finds out her blind date is a werewolf – and claims she’s his mate?
