Melanie Cross has spent most of her life with her head stuck in a book. It had its benefits, for now she is a Doctor of Nuclear Chemistry. Unfortunately all that studying hasn’t left much time for finding love or even just a little hot sex. Her friend thinks it’s about time Mel got her swing back and sets her up on a blind date guaranteed to lead to a night of hot fun.

Kade Jamenson is the Heir of his family’s werewolf pack. He takes everything in life seriously. Recently he’s been dealt a bad hand. Kade thought he found his mate but the vicious shewolf had eyes on someone else. His brother thinks he needs to get back in the dating game and sets him up on a blind date. Kade is stunned to discover that the woman waiting on him is his true mate. Will she be able to accept his wolfy nature and join with him for forever?

Carrie Ann Ryan gets off to a spicy hot start with An Alpha’s Pack. The first book in her Redwood Pack series may be a novella but it’s full of sexy werewolves and an enticing story. Melanie and Kade steam up the pages with their uncontrollable lust for each other. One of the things I really like about this story is the humor Ms. Ryan so easily infused within the pages. Melanie cracks me up with her nervousness and Kade does the same while communicating with his wolf. However, it’s not all laughs there are some very serious things that happen in An Alpha’s Path that make this story a keeper. I like that Mel’s not all ‘oh you’re a werewolf cool let’s live happily ever after.’ Her scientist mind forces her to think about every aspect of her circumstances. I am very excited about this new werewolf series from Ms. Ryan. I look forward to learning more about the extremely hot and brooding Jamenson men and their spitfire of a sister.
