AbandonedWhen bear shifter, Anya Tucker fell in love with the wrong man, the only thing she left with was a broken heart—and her two bear cubs. Now she’s mended her wounds and learned that in order to raise her babies she can only trust herself. When her sons meet the lazy cat next door and fall heads over tails for him, she’ll do whatever she takes to protect them—even from a past she’d thought … from a past she’d thought she’d left behind.
Cole McDermott is a jaguar on a mission. Long naps, a willing woman, and a full stomach is usually all he needs when it comes to relaxing after a long day of protecting his Pack. Then he meets Anya and the burn of temptation is silky and tantalizing indeed. When a horror from Anya’s past threatens everything she loves, Cole will put everything aside and fight for her family—as well as his own.
Unseen
Nicole Bradley had no reason to live after the humans murdered her son. Not until she learns to hunt down those responsible for his death. Shifting into her wolf form at night, she slips out of the compound, determined to do as much damage as possible. The last thing she expected was to discover secrets that could destroy the SAU.
Polar shifter, Tucker Stone, lives off the grid. It’s the only way the Unseen can avoid being rounded up by the humans and tossed into a compound. Besides, he’s a loner by nature. But he can’t walk away when he sees the pretty female wolf in danger. Risking exposure, he takes her to his hidden den and tries to heal her wounds.
Can a reclusive polar bear and a wolf with a death wish find happiness together?

Book 2 Abandoned and Unseen by Carrie Ann Ryan and Alexandra Ivy.
Abandoned Anya and Cole
This book carries on straight after the previous one so after Holden made his mate in to shift it they were punished by adding bears into the compound this is where and your mates Cole. I absolutely love that these two characters are very much different I love but Anya has the boys that do seem to be attached to Cole straight away in the story and I just love how it develops and everything seems to work itself out even though it is intense and stressful in the middle of the story specially when Anya realises but the boys are missing absolutely love how Cole steps up.
We also get a sneak peak of what is happening outside the compound which I really liked the twist in the story looking forward to reading more about this.
Unseen Tucker and Nicole
This story also carries on directly after the previous one which I really like that the story flows very quickly between each book.
In this one we have Tucker who helps Anya in the previous book to find her boys and is a unseen shifter which means he lives outside the compounds and hide from the SAU.
Absolutely love to Tucker Especially with the way he is portrayed in the book he is this big silent teddy bear really thought has a big heart and when Nicole comes into it he gets to express himself bar and shows that is more than just a massive polar bear.
We finally get to learn more about the SAU And the things they’ve been doing behind-the-scenes really looking forward to when these people get taken down.
Aiden Snow narrates all the books in the branded packs and I cannot say how great he is at it his first time ever listen to him being exclusive in a narrated book and not with a female narrator but he pulls it off fantastically he also does a fantastic voice for Tucker which I absolutely love cannot wait for more
Two really good paranormal romance short stories in the Branded Packs series by two great authors, good narration by Aiden Snow. I received this book in exchange for my honest review.
This is the second book in the Branded series and you are actually getting two books inside this one book. If you have not read Stolen and Forgiven I would highly suggest reading it first although it is not necessary it there are cross over characters that help you understand the going ons.
In Abandoned the Bear Shifters have been moved into the compound with the wolves and the cats. WOW! A compound made for one group is now housing 3 different groupings of shifters. Talk about crowded. In this book we get to meet a set of adorable cub twins and their Feisty Mom ANYA…. Cole a panther shifter has found his mate in Anya and boy this is a fun and hot read. First before he can act on it he has to help her recover her kidnapped cubs.
UNSeen the second book in the Branded Packs is about *The Unseen*. the Unseen are shifter who humans have not seen and collared. They have managed to pass as humans and are hiding in plain sight. In this book we meet Nicole a wolf shifter who’s young child was murdered by a human guard years before. Tucker is an UNSEEN we have met in other books. This is their story. We also see more of Sinclair and meet Mira a human who is helping the Unseen.
I have to say that the Branded Packs are written by two authors (one is Carrie Ann Ryan one of my go to authors) but you would not know this at all. Their writing styles mesh so well that the book appears to be written by one person.
While the book has lots of action it is very steamy hot shifters to boot!
I received this book for Free for an honest review.
