A Taste for a Mate - Book 2 in the Redwood Pack Series

Jasper Jamenson's only responsibility to being the Beta of the Redwood Pack, second son of the Alpha, is to protect the Pack from themselves and the human world. After a century of selfless service, his brother's new-found mating forced him into taking a good look into his life. He isn't sure he wants a mate, but fate may have other ideas.

Willow Delton is a skinny bakery owner - the type most woman love to hate. Being without family, she finds herself alone to the Greek god with green eyes who saunters into her bakery every morning. Her desire to follow him, to be with him, overrides every rational sense she possessed.

Jasper and Willow are drawn together, despite every nuisance that works against them. But evil beyond even Jasper's supernatural compensation will make war against him, by going after the only thing in his eternal life he desires - Willow. Is Willow's heart enough to overcome Jasper's soul to save her life? A fight he cannot win, but to save her life - he must.

A full length novel.

You can find the print version of this novel in Redwood Pack Vol. 1.

Disturbing images!

The author has a good story in mind, but many of the scenes are extremely grotesque. Warning: do not read this if you are not into sadistic and gory scenes. I gave this three stars because I am pretty open to paranormal themes, but I have to say that I found many of the scenes in this book disturbing and disgusting. I believe that if the scenes were described in a less glory fashion, this could've been a much better book for a paranormal romance.

Book 2 of the Redwood Pack will keep you on your toes.

Jasper and Willow's story is intense and makes you a fan of the Redwood Pack. You have to wonder if Jasper will ever really learn not to speak his mind out loud when he is thinking. The Central Pack is causing major trouble for the Redwood Pack. The narration was excellent I enjoyed this book and highly recommend.

Mm mm mm

This series is always so very hot and it has an awesome storyline. Every one of the pack has different talents and needs for mates. It's so hard to predict what might happen next. I like it!

A taste for PNR

Okay, Carrie Ann Ryan has done the impossible, she has made me fall in love with a werewolf, actually the whole Jameson family. The Redwood Pack is amazing and I am in deep with them.

Gregory Salinas has the perfect growl going. Oh My!

Slow start= great story

I am a huge fan of paranormal stories, and have loved most of Carrie Ann Ryan’s books. This book however, almost lost me as a reader (just for this book). It started off slow, and an the prologue created some confusion. Once you get oriented with where the story begins and see how the prologue fits into the rest of the story it draws you in. I became so involved in the story that I finished the last 22 chapters in one day. Overall good story and very interesting characters.

Dive in deep with the Redwood Pack

Diving deeper into the Redwood Pack!



Jasper, Beta of the Redwood Pack, is everything I love in a wolf. Strong, dominant, protective and fierce. His life changed the day he walked into a bakery and smelled that cinnamony sent. Just when he and his wolf have their mate, hell breaks in on Jaspers life.



Willow is a survivor. Orphaned, she has only had herself to rely on. She made a goal and built her dream. Willow is strong, a bit timid but feisty when needed and courageous. For a woman whose life literally got a slapped into a living urban legend I would say she is doing pretty damn good.



Carrie Ann Ryan takes it up a notch with A Taste For A Mate, book two of the Redwood Pack Series. Willow and Jasper will tug at your heart as they steam up the pages trying to find how their pieces fit together. Emotional and naughty. Ms. Ryan really opens up the world of the Redwoods. Getting deep inside the pack, learning the ways of her wolves. Personalities emerge from the background, setting the stage not only for this story but the entire series.

Gregory Sanlinas voice is the piece that completes the puzzle bringing the Redwood Pack alive in the readers mind.

Narrator makes or breaks an audio

Interesting story but can't deal with the narrator. The story line is strong enough that I tried the second book in the series after barely making it thru the first. But unfortunately I won't continue the series. The female voices are so bad it turns the humor between the mates into a parody.
