The
bitter taste of burned coffee couldn’t even be covered up by the heavy dose of
sugar, caramel, and cream Brynn had added to her cup. Sometimes having an acute
sense of taste really sucked.
She
licked the remaining whipped cream off her lips and set down her cup; fully
aware she wasn’t drinking coffee in private. Nothing in her life was truly
private. Not anymore.
Brynn
smiled softly and brushed her long black hair from her shoulder, trying to look
friendly, innocent, and as if she didn’t have a care in the world. A total lie,
but most people chose what they saw rather that what they should see.
The
past year had just cemented that reasoning to her. When General Martinez had
stepped foot near the Talon land, the game had changed yet again. The humans knew
they existed. They knew shifters roamed around them; knew that some turned into
so-called monsters. But they didn’t know everything. It was Brynn’s job to make
sure they didn’t know everything. Well, Brynn, the rest of her family, and the
Redwoods.
Uncle
Leo and his men had shifted into wolf form and back again on camera. That was what the public had seen.
They’d seen the painful transition of bones breaking and tendons tearing. They
saw humans shifted into wolves with claws and fangs. Then they’d seen Brynn and
her family fight them in human form. They’d seen the show of strength, but they
hadn’t seen the death. The cameras had been destroyed by then. Thank the
goddess. The humans had only seen a tiny part of who the shifters were. They
hadn’t seen a loving mated couple care for one another, hadn’t seen a pup roll
in the grass while chasing his tail.
They’d
only seen the pain and fear that came with shifting. Brynn felt that same agony
each time she turned wolf, but the bliss that wrapped around her soul when she
connected with her shifter half was worth any pain.
Again,
not that the humans knew that.

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.

Sarah's Review:
Five sizzling stars
“I want your claw marks down my back, your fangs in my skin as you lose control. I want you wet and ready for me to fuck you hard against this wall. Does that sound good to you, princess?”
It's been some time since I've read a paranormal book and I'm glad I jumped back in with An Alpha's Choice. This was a phenomenal book.
I loved a lot of things about this book especially the characters. The chemistry between Brynn and Finn is off the charts hot! And I was absolutely gutted knowing that she felt the mating pull but Finn did not. To have to feel that for over a year - I don't know how she didn't fall apart.
Thank you, Ms. Ryan, for bringing me back into the paranormal realm in such spectacular fashion. I can't wait to read what happens next.
