An Apha’s Choice Synopsis:
The Bestselling Redwood Pack continues with the Talon Pack series.
A Broken Wolf. A Fractured Bond. A Fate Denied.
Brynn Brentwood has spent the whole of her life protecting the Talon Pack through terrors only she will ever know. She’s never asked for more in life other than to live to take her next breath and to ensure her family is safe. Regardless of her selfless wishes and the atrocities the former Alpha committed, she has always known that fate would provide for her as it had countless others. Fate is what has carried her through with one exception—upon meeting the one wolf who could be hers, he doesn’t feel their bond.
Finn Jamenson has been broken more than once, left beaten and half dead—and that was before he was an adult and Heir of the Redwood Pack. When called upon to work with their allies, the Talons, he finds himself intrigued with a woman who his wolf doesn’t claim as his own. Though he knows there could be something there, he refuses to tempt himself with a wolf who could never be his when his own mate could waiting for him.
The world changed in a blink of time and now the two wolves must fight as one—ignoring the burning temptation between them—when their people are threatened. With one wrong move, their homes could be destroyed and its up to Finn and Brynn to save them all…if only they could save themselves.

Excerpt:
She
turned her head so she faced him, a smile plastered on. Well, hell, this wasn’t
going to end well—not that he’d thought differently two seconds ago. “Two iced
lattes, then,” she said to the cashier even as she looked at him. “Wouldn’t
want you to overheat.”
Her
blue eyes brightened, a small sliver of gold rimming the outside, telling him
her wolf was far closer to the surface than he’d thought. Shit. He hadn’t
wanted this. Brynn had amazing control of her wolf, and if his mere presence
brought her to the edge due to anger, then he needed to take a step back and
let her breathe. Because having her wolf come out and slash her claws across
his chest for daring to touch her would have been normal inside a den. He frankly wouldn’t have blamed her for it.
But outside the den and in a world where every move they made was watched and
studied, he knew he’d fucked up.
Carefully,
he moved his arm away and took a step to the left. “Thank you,” he said, his
voice gruff. Her eyes tracked his movement and he saw her shoulders relax. Just
two extra inches between them and she looked as if she could breathe again. He
felt like a fucking tool for even forcing her to that line. He wasn’t the type
of man to encroach when not wanted, and yet he just had. There was no excuse
other than he hadn’t been thinking. Instead, he’d angered the woman he knew he
needed to be friendly with and nothing more.
He
pulled out his wallet and paid before she could. He heard the growl escape her
lips and knew it was quiet enough that no one other than him would have been
able to hear the soft sound. He leaned close to her ear but was careful not to
touch her. “Sorry for touching you. You can pay next time.”
There.
He’d apologized. He’d do it again and in more detail later because he didn’t
like that he’d hurt her somehow. This anger had to come from somewhere, and he
knew he wasn’t perfect. Maybe he’d done something he wasn’t aware of, but for
the life of him, he couldn’t think what it could possibly be. He’d fix it
though. Because there was no way they could continue on like this and do work
for their Pack if she couldn’t even look at him without looking like she wanted
to maim him.
“Thank
you,” she whispered back. A mere two words, and yet his body relaxed. His wolf
stayed silent throughout the entire exchange. Yet that wasn’t too out of the
ordinary, considering his wolf was usually silent when he was around Brynn.
It
was weird, but he didn’t question it. Not when he knew things about his wolf
wouldn’t be like they were with the others. That was just how it was, and he’d
learned to deal with it.
They
waited in silence for their iced lattes, their bodies close to one another
since space was lacking, but not touching. He could feel the heat of her and
could still scent every inch of her, but he didn’t move closer. He’d already
crossed that line and refused to do it again.
He’d
find out what made her tick though because damn it, he liked her. She was a strong wolf, one that protected what was hers.
In any other world, they might have been friends, lovers, maybe something more.
Now, though, he just wanted to walk into a room with her without her eyes
narrowing and her body going tense.
It
might be asking the impossible, but damn it, he was going to try.

I Was Provided A ARC For The Blog Tour
(Possible Spoilers)
A fun actioned packed paranormal read.
This is the first book i have read by Carrie Ann Ryan, and I'm hooked.
Brynn and Finn are characters that grab your attention from the first page.
Strong members of their own packs, they have to come together and work to keep their packs safe. Safe from the humans that now know of their existence.
Only, working together isn't easy, they each feel a strong, hard to ignore, connection. They fight to keep away from those feelings, because know they might not be one an other's mates. And to get involved will just complicated things. For everyone.
An Alpha's Choice is a great read. These are some tough, kick-a** wolves who will go far and wide to protect their own, their family.
Great characters, intriguing story line, and a connection between the two main characters that make you flip the pages to find out whats going to happen next.
Carrie Anne Ryan Bio:
New York Times and 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.
