Publisher's summary

Melanie is a 25-year-old chemist who has spent all of her adult life slaving at school. 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. A blind date set up through her friends seems like the perfect solution. Melanie can take one night away from the lab and let her inner vixen out on a fixed blind date - a chance to get crazy with a perfect stranger. The gorgeous hunk she's to meet exceeds her wildest dreams - but he is more than what he appears and Melanie's analytical mind goes into overdrive.

Kade, a slightly older werewolf (at over 100 years), needs a night way from the Pack. Too many responsibilities and one near miss with a potential mate made Kade hide in his work, the only peace he can find. His brother convinces him to meet the sexy woman for a one night of fun. What could it hurt? But when he finds this woman could be his mate, can he convince her to leave her orderly, sane world and be with him and his wolf-half, for life?

Sexy and erotic introduction to the Redwoods

4 Stars

.

Melanie is a book and fact kind of girl. Kade is a walking, taking myth and legend. On what should’ve been a normal blind date, Melanie and Kade change each other’s lives on the drop of a dime. Embarking on a night of crazed passion, raw emotions and brutal truths, two people who are in no way alike, rock the foundation of each other’s being.

Kade was a of rarity among werewolves for me. He’s strong and dominant sexy as hell and oh my God does he have a dirty talking mouth on him. He’s next in line to be the alpha of the pack, but he also realize that people need to make their own choices. Learning to take the consequences that came with those choices.

Melanie was so smart but yet so dumb at the same time. She spent too much time using books for learning, instead of letting herself have an imagination. I love Melanie’s total freak out reaction to finding out werewolves exist. Seeing her frazzled and out of her safe zone made her more real and likable.

Raw, animalistic lust infused with emotions, sweet passion and heart is what Carrie Ann Ryan gives her reader/listeners in An Alpha’s Path. A fast read that turns up the heat while getting lost in the Redwood Pack.

Gregory Salinas takes An Alpha’s Path to the next level with his narration. Allowing the listener to feel like they are right along with the Redwoods. Gregory adds another level of dimension and passion to this tantalizing story with his succulent voice. He truly brings the Redwood Pack to life.

New to Shifters...Great Intro

I don't normally read PNR but Carrie Ann is probably one of the few authors who could convince me to dive into Shifters and PNR. I am loving it and WOW does Gregory Salinas bring the growl to the audiobook.

Terrible monotone narrator with seriously foolish heroine

Narrator was so boring... One has to imagine past his monotone performance to see the story as more than just 'a read'... Story very hot at beginning, yet then takes a nose dive as the heroine acts more like an unintelligent 'brainless' caricature of a 'blond' rather than a scientist. Story could have been a lot better.

Redwood Pack Book One

Redwood Pack Book One.

When Melanie is set up on a blind date with Kade, she is nervous and doubtful that anything will come of it. However, the moment she sees him, she is lost. After a night together, Mel wakes up to find tears in the sheets and sees Kade turn into a wolf. She flees the hotel and hitches a ride with Lance, not knowing he is actually a member of Kade's pack! When both Lance and Kade claim to be her potential mates, Melanie must choose one or allow them to fight to the death.

If you're looking for a short paranormal story, this is the book for you!

Off Kilter

This story is good overall. I like the concept quite a bit. However it was really choppy trying to follow whose thoughts we were in or who was speaking at times unless the narrator specifically threw his voice. If it was H speaking or h speaking it y clear but there are times we went from speaking to Melanie’s thoughts to Cade speaking.

Gregory Salinas is a favorite of mine and did a wonderful job with the narration of the material provided
