“There’s more than meets the eye on Twin Moon Ranch, home to a pack of shapeshifting wolves willing to battle for life and love.” – The Wolves of Twin Moon Ranch Series
The Wolves of Twin Moon Ranch is well worth purchasing and reading especially if you enjoy wolf shifters. The author does a great job giving us something new and different to enjoy as well as pulling us deeply into the lives of the characters she has created. I highly recommend this series and you can’t go wrong with this box set.
Desert Moon – 4.5 Stars
ALowe is an awesome writer. I was pulled into the characters, plot, and world from the first to the last page. I could not put Desert Moon down. The emotions are so real and the world is unique. I also like how the shifters are portrayed. We are also given a great conflict on more then one front with the feud and rouges. Ty and Lana are a perfect couple. They complemented each other and when they connected the sex was passionate and sensual. Desert Moon was fantastic, the storyline was gripping, and the characters are captivating. I am riveted and blown away.
Desert Blood – 5 Stars
I LOVED return to the Twin Moon Ranch pack. I was blown away and sucked in from beginning to end. I like how ALowe brings her characters together. She has a way of getting the reader hooked into the emotional journey the characters take. Cody and Heather complemented each other perfectly and the way their relationship develops was fabulously done. The story flows, with a rich sense of scenery and world building. Desert Blood is an Amazing and Fabulous read.
Desert Fate – 4.5 Stars
Desert Fate blew me away. I was captivated by ALowe’s characters and the writing. Stefanie and Kyle complemented each other completely and I loved how their relationship grew and changed from friends to mates. I felt for Stef and her situation. Nothing was in her control and Kyle is the only thing that was keeping her grounded, but she does not fully understand yet why. I also felt for Kyle. His frustrations, his fears, and hope that maybe Stef is that one and just maybe they can belong and make a home. The plot was small, but significant enough to add tension for everyone and also shows us that not all packs are good. Desert Fate was such an amazing read. I was captivated with the emotional journey that Kyle and Stef go through and how they finally found a place to call home.
BONUS SCENES
Updated 8/25/2016: Author has added Bonus Scenes:
SPRING HOLLOW – Takes place midway through the epilogue of Desert Moon. Ty & Lana are a sweet couple. I love visiting them. Here we get to see a private moment, just a little down time between these two away from the pack, so they can unwind. It’s sweet and short. Just another wonderful moment in their lives, giving the read more to enjoy.
A DESERT VALENTINE – Takes place just after Desert Fate. We get to see Kyle and Tina. It’s sweet, short and adorable. What Kyle does for his Valentine gift was perfect. This short reminds us to slow down and enjoy our time and those we love. We also get a glimpse of Tina and how lonely she is; before her story in Desert Heart.
HOT-BLOODED DESERT NIGHTS – This short takes place during Cody and Heather’s novel Desert Blood. It’s a sweet moment between these too and just adds to their story.
Fans and new readers will enjoy these adorable bonus scenes. They are a sweet little edition into a magical world of sexy cowboy wolf shifters and the women who capture their hearts.
*Disclaimer: I received a complimentary copy free of charge for each individual book from Anna Lowe with the sole purpose of an honest review. All thoughts, comments and ratings are my own.
This set is fantastic! It has three full paranormal romance novels and a short story at the end of each of the H/h. I can say hands down each book was perfect. Of course I have a favorite (book 1) but each were different and had everything I could want in a paranormal romance. I have enjoyed other series by this author and I am happy to say she did a fantastic job with this series as well. I really hope there are more to come! The narrator was excellent with a great voice.
Wow! I am a serious lover of shifter books, but these are that and so much more! So much emotion and turmoil in all three of these books in this volume and yet we find beautiful endings to each one. I loved that we got bonus chapters after each book as well. This is a definite listen for anyone who wants to listen to a great collection of books with shifters.
I read these stories almost a year ago and to my surprise, was just able to get the box set and re-read them. What a joy!
Book 1: Desert Moon
Book 2: Desert Blood
Book 3: Desert Fate
Get to know these shifters in the Arizona Desert. Anna Lowe will weave her magic with perfectly flawed characters, strong personalities, drama, adventure, love, hate and passion. I spent hours just slipping away and immersing myself in her creation.
Great value for money with bonus stories thrown in.
A very enjoyable read though I do not like some of the archaic laws of the pack.
01 – DESERT MOON
12 years have passed since Lana first visited the ranch with her grandmother. When she was there she kept scenting the most amazing smell but could not pin it down. She thought she had found her mate but no luck.
Ty has been pining for his mate ever since he came home from a trip and smelt her scent on the ranch. He has never been sure if it was a figment of his imagination and was under a lot of stress as the Alpha heir. His father had already tried to force an arranged mating and was giving Ty hassle.
When Lana arrives with her grandmother for a visit again she knows Ty is her mate but he ignores her and fights against his wolf as Lana is a Dixon, his father’s enemy.
When Lana is put into danger by a pack member will Ty see sense and claim his mate, even if she is a Dixon?
Trouble is brewing in the background for the pack.
01.5 – SPRING HOLLOW
Ty takes Lana for a drive to get away from the pressure that is his father refusing Lana’s presence on the ranch. On the way to Spring Hollow Lana gets to re-enact their first meeting when Ty picked Lana and her Nan up from the airport.
It is at Spring Hollow while Lana and Ty play in the water that Lana hears the hoot of the endangered Mexican Spotted Owl that will save Spring Hollow and sort out the land issues.
02 – DESERT BLOOD
What a great read. Loved this couple.
It was great to see Cody coming of age in this book, he needed his story told and Heather was the perfect woman for him.
Cody is Ty’s younger brother and has been ignored by his father as he was not the heir.
He spent his time doing little work and womanising a lot. He decides to change his life for himself and then Heather arrives. A human who is off limits, yeah, tell that to his wolf.
He is also helping the law track what is happening when bodies start turning up drained of blood. When he pieces it together that Heather is the target all bets are off.
Heather is running from the evil that killed her friend but cannot tell anyone because they would think she was crazy. She takes on the temporary teaching post at the ranch which gives her time to breath and think through what she will do next.
Heather is drawn to Cody but keeps hearing about his womanising and seeing him with different women all over the place, usually innocently. As she spends time with him she sees the man he wants to be.
She has enough on her plate as it is without dealing with him.
Fate has other ideas and when the vampires catch up with Heather, Cody will do whatever it takes to keep her safe. Even defy his father. Unfortunately to save Heather he has to bring forth his wolf which pushes Heather to run away as her mind is on overload. Vampires, now wolf shifters. Just too much to cope with.
What happens when Heather returns to the ranch?
A lovely enjoyable read. I just wish we could get rid of that horrible father.
02.5 – HOT BLOODED DESERT NIGHTS
This is set at the time when Cody wants to tell Heather he is a wolf shifter but pack law states he cannot mate a human. How difficult things were for Cody and his wolf not being able to claim their human mate. And poor Heather not being able to ask for help as she thinks no one would believe her tale about vampires being real. Who believes in vampires, right!
Luckily they had each other, even if it was early days for them.
03 – DESERT FATE
Wow, had to read to the end to see what happened.
Loner Kyle has his mate handed to him by fate and an unscrupulous wolf from another pack.
Stefanie was just doing her job when she was bitten by a wolf trying to mate her.
Kyle and Stefanie knew and supported each other as children so it was wonderful fate bought them together again to be mates. Unfortunately, they both have baggage and rotten wolves to deal with along the way to their HEA.
We find out so much more about Kyles history and it was lovely to see them both grow stronger together.
I do hate the archaic laws these wolves live by.
Kyle has to fight to save Stefanie from being given to the other horrible pack. He really is a hero as he lets Stefanie go rather than claim her when she is not ready.
Stefanie had every reason to be so unbalanced, that pulling that was going on by Ron was horrible, understandable that she did have a meltdown and took off in Kyles truck leaving him to fight for her alone, but he would rather she was free and away from him than with Ron and Greer.
Stefanie’s wolf talked some sense into her and made her realise Kyle was their mate and needed them.
The dialogue going on with both of their wolves was fantastic, so good. You can just imagine them thinking slow, idiot, human half is not seeing what is right there.
I think her wolf really helped Stefanie find her way and I loved that she headed back to fight alongside Kyle against Greer and Ron, no matter the outcome or odds.
Fantastic news that Tyrone leaves Twin Moon ranch to take over the North Ridge pack in Colorado.
03.5 – A DESERT VALENTINE
It was lovely to spend time with Kyle and Stefanie. Poor Kyle stressing over valentines’ day but he comes up with the perfect idea.
