When the great war between the Redwoods and the Centrals occurred three decades ago, the Talon Pack risked their lives for the side of good. After tragedy struck, Gideon Brentwood became the Alpha of the Talons. But the Pack’s stability is threatened, and he’s forced to take mate—only the one fate puts in his path is the woman he shouldn’t want.
Though the daughter of the Redwood Pack’s Beta, … Pack’s Beta, Brie Jamenson has known peace for most of her life. When she finds the man who could be her mate, she’s shocked to discover Gideon is the Alpha wolf of the Talon Pack. As a submissive, her strength lies in her heart, not her claws. But if her new Pack disagrees or disapproves of fate’s choice, the consequences could be fatal.
As the worlds Brie and Gideon have always known begin to shift, they must face their challenges together in order to help their Pack and seal their bond. But when the Pack is threatened from the inside, Gideon doesn’t know who he can trust and Brie’s life could be forfeit in the crossfire. It will take the strength of an Alpha and the courage of his mate to realize where true loyalties lie.

Action packed from the get-go and a fabulous love story. This book has it all!
Wow! What a great start to a series. Loved Gideon and Brie as well as their families and friends. I loved how this story wrapped up Gideon and Brie’s story but left the perfect hook for the next story and the rest of the series.
Great characters, interesting story.
Great Book!
Wonderful book. I could not put it down. It did not disappoint!!!
I LOVE LOVE LOVED THIS book.
Good plot. Great characters. I read this book in one sitting!
I found the characters in this book hard to connect with and ultimately couldn’t finish it out of boredom.
Five Stars for Tattered Loyalties!
Carrie Ann Ryan has an extraordinary gift for creating a world readers can get lost in. This shifter romance is packed with action, romance and plenty of characters who will steal your heart away! If this is just the first book, I know this series is only going to get better.
Tattered Loyalties is a must read!!
A believable world filled with realistic characters and excellent plotting. A new favorite author.
2021 Update: Just re-read this book, not remembering that I had already reviewed. Imagine my surprise when reading below, already thinking that I would write a review very similar.
While I have enjoyed this author’s Inked series and spin off’s, it was the books before this series that had put this author on my preferred reading lists. 5 years later the review below still holds true…
Loving this author’s work, I was not disappointed in the first book of this new series Talon Pack. With writing so real, you can’t help being sucked into the character’s and stories. Each character (even those on the perimeter) are so well developed, well rounded you just slip into their story. Gideon and Brie couldn’t be more perfect for being the poster children of opposites attracting. In these troubling times it is always nice to be reminded that strength doesn’t always have to dominate.
Well worth your time and $$
Gideon and Brie are predictable in their behaviors and actions. This story feels like it has a good base, it’s just missing that little something to push it over the edge into being a good read that will keep you going into the next book.
I loved all the characters in this story. I The story line was excellent. A very aggressive alpha and a meek submissive wolf are mates. How will it work out between them? There were misunderstandings, but also romance. I think it is the first book in a series. It does end on a cliffhanger, but the story will keep you entertained. I know it did me. I enjoyed the book and would recommend it.
Loved this book
When I first started reading this book, I thought that this was a domestic assault waiting to happen. That generally is the case when an insecure alpha type and a overly demure submissive type get together. Not so – this turned out to be a particularly sweet recounting of how a marriage between strangers with opposing temperaments can be built up with compromise and mutual respect as well as love, in when circumstances turn tumultuous. The leadup to book 2 intrigues – gotta to see what happens when a fed up female goes after an oblivious male.
Good characters and enough backstory if you haven’t read any previous books but not too much. Funny interactions between the characters.
Even though there are a lot of books with similar story lines, this one stands out.
So busy setting up the series, that the story suffered from lame lot line. Most of book was spend with the main characters self involved with their own emotional issues.
Short and sweet shifter romance. Yes, a but predictable but entertaining and sexy.
A good shape shifter book. Two families join together when members of the pack end up being fated mates. Lots of action and excitement to keep it all interesting.
