STOLEN AND FORGIVEN is part of the a new Branded Pack series written
by authors Alexandra Ivy and Carrie Ann Ryan. A virus had infected humans
around the world until shifters came forward offering their blood as
a cure. For their heroic deed the humans have branded them,
collared them, and are holding them in guarded compounds.
These are their stories of survival.
In STOLEN, Holden Carter became
alpha at a young age, and his first job is protecting the pack. When he
comes upon a woman, broken and bleeding at the fence of the
compound, he knows what he must do. She's his mate so he
saves her the only way he can -- his bite changes her. Now,
they must learn to trust each other, which will not be easy
if the unhappy pack members who don't trust
the "human" among them get out of hand. As for Ariel Sands,
she was raised to fear the shifters, but it was humans
who put her in Holden's hands. It's more than the mating
bond that is drawing them toward their true destiny. It's
even deeper than that.
In FORGIVEN, Soren Slater, the Beta wolf of the pack, has
always believed the needs of the pack comes first. As
a young man, he was a liaison with the Tiger clan and had a
flirtation with the princess, Cora Wilder. He never expected
anything to come of it, but his heart got in the way. It broke when he forced
himself to walk away for the sake of his pack. Cora had no intention of forgiving
Soren for
his desertion but when the SAU (Shifter Accommodation Unit)
makes the wolves and cats live together, they are forced
back into each others lives. Though she tries not to
forgive him, it isn't easy. Despite herself, she still
feels for him. When humans kidnap her, they must work
together or all shifters will lose.
STOLEN AND FORGIVEN is impossible to put down. I love this
world, the characters are fresh, and the sweet and steamy
romances balance perfectly with the gritty action. I found
myself very anti-human (at least the way the SAU members
are portrayed) and rooting for the shifters to all rebel. I
can't wait to get my hands on the next book in this series!
The first in a brand new dark and gritty paranormal series,
Stolen and Forgiven begins a new journey with NYT
Bestselling
Authors, Alexandra Ivy and Carrie Ann Ryan.
Stolen
The first rule of being Alpha of the Canine Pack is to
protect
their secrets from the humans at all cost. One look at the
dying human at his doorstep and Holden Carter knows he will
have to break it. The broken woman with no hope at survival
is
his mate. When he forces the change on her to save her
life,
he not only sets forth motions that could risk both their
lives, but the lives of every shifter in the world.
Ariel Sands grew up in a post-Verona infection world and
under
the care of the very humans she thought had cured the
disease.
When they betray her in the worst ways imaginable, she
finds
herself not only mated to the Alpha of a the very species
she's been taught to fear, but the focal point of a traitor
and path to destruction for everyone's way of life. It will
take more than trust and a mating bond for Ariel and Holden
to
not only survive their enemies, but the burn of their own
temptations.
Forgiven
Soren Slater is a Beta wolf who understands that duty to
his
Pack comes before his own needs. At a young age he takes a
position as a liaison between his Pack and the other
species
of shifters. He never expected his enticing flirtations
with
Cora Wilder, a Tiger Princess, would encourage her cat to
consider him a potential mate. He's forced to walk away,
choosing a partner among the wolves to try and strengthen
his
Pack.
Cora has no intention of forgiving or forgetting Soren's
rejection. Not even when the Packs are forced to live
together
and she discovers Soren's former mate has died. But then,
she's kidnapped by the SAU and she has no choice but to
work
with Soren to escape. Together they must put the past
behind
them if they're to survive the human's evil plot.
